The Heavy Table – Minneapolis-St. Paul and Upper Midwest Food Magazine and Blog

There’s this pizza joint that’s not really a joint at all. It’s a farm where they grow all the ingredients on the pizza, even the crust. They are only open one night a week, on Tuesdays. They have no table service (grab your pizza and find a spot on the grass). They don’t serve drinks, or have plates, or utensils, or even napkins — and the toilet is an outhouse. And they have no signage, so good luck getting there. Once you arrive, you’ll have to wait a long time for your order (my number was 185… they were just serving 71), but they manage to kick out one killer pizza per minute from those brick ovens, and the farm is beautiful, so it’s easy to kill a little time talking to goats and stuff. Pretty much unlike any restaurant experience out there and well worth the drive — if you can find it.

    WACSO, you’re making me want to find a friend with a car to get out there…question–is there much char on the underside of the pizzas- I prefer if the char isn’t a very big factor in the flavor. looks like the topside is just how I like it…thanks. how long of a drive is it?

    artsy, there is a fair amount of the black-stuff on their pizza….personally i dig it, but i could see if a little was a turnoff for you it might not be your thing. only one way to find out!…i’d say it’s about 2 hour drive…very scenic.

    Ha! Good point but it actually isn’t as crazy busy as the weather cools off. Or if you go early in the Spring, like April-ish.

    3.5 hour round trip, good scenery, trendy, pricey, scorching heat, bugs, burned crust seriously affected taste. So not worth it!

    Within 5 miles of the place you can just start following the stream of cars heading in your same direction. The location is quaint, the scenery delightful, the pizza tasty, the ambience magical. True Americana!
