About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem

Charming

Pizzeria Lola is James Beard award-winning Chef Ann Kim's neighborhood pizzeria in Minneapolis. Our menu features signature wood-fired pizzas, sharable salads & sides, wine & beer wine, and a curated list of classic cocktails. Pizzas include familiar classics including My Sha-Roni (pepperoni & sausage) and Margherita, and signature guest favorites like Lady Zaza (kimchi and Korean sausage) and Korean BBQ (our #1 best-seller). Our menu is vegetarian-friendly and offers a housemade gluten-free crust as an option for all of our pizzas.

Pizzeria Lola has been featured in the New York Times and on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," "CBS Saturday" and Netflix's "Chef's Table: Pizza."

Pizzeria Lola is located in Southwest Minneapolis (just off Highway 62) and is easily accessible on the way to or from Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport.

We're open for lunch and dinner daily. Reservations are available and walk-ins are always welcome.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chris White

From the OpenTable editors: Wood-fired pizzas get a Korean twist at this Minneapolis spot that Time Out named one of the best pizzerias in the country in 2023. James Beard Award-winning chef and owner Ann Kim makes exciting pies like the Lady Zaza with Korean sausage and kimchi. Pair them with a glass of wine from the global list—the restaurant’s central, brass-encased wood-burning fireplace makes every meal here feel super cozy.

Great spot. We had the Korean bbq pizza and it was excellent. The blend of rib meat with seasoned arugula was so tasty!

Food and drinks were really great! It was nice to try a combination that I wouldn’t ordinarily go for. The crust on the pizzas was fantastic. Our server was great at handling allergies and explaining the restaurant’s allergy procedures.

We have dined at pizzeria Lola countless times, as well as order take out. This is often a place we go to on holidays because the Ann Kim restaurants are open on a lot of holidays. This past Memorial Day was some of the worst service I have ever had in my life. When the server came over about 5 minutes after we were seated we ordered 4 appetizers and a round of drinks. The drinks came in a timely ish manner. But we waited and waited for the apps. The server stops by and asks if we are ready to order, a little confusing,no mention of “those apps will be out soon, thanks for being patient” which is what I would expect.But we said yeah we are ready to order the PIZZAS, hoping he remembered the apps.. we order the pizzas.. my 4 year old is at the table he is getting hungry and restless. I go on a walk around the restaurant and swing by our server,because after 30 minutes the apps still aren’t there and there has been no mention of them or how long they are taking, and ask about them.He is slightly rude to me but says they will be out soon. No hospitality, no thanks for being patient, no sorry for the wait, no let me check on them. Insane. Well we are back at the table, 45 minutes has passed since we ordered them at this point, so I again check in on the apps.This dude is straight up snappy and rude to me, I have never, so dismissive,so non apologetic,could care less. We all saw it and were like what in the actual f***. So now after about 50 minutes the wings hit the table, so I inquire about the other apps, again so rude, I’m so over it at this point. Finally the 2 salads, burrata and wings were all at the table. The pizzas come out shortly after and we ask for honey.5 minutes goes by with no sign of the honey, so I get up from the table and go ask the manager for it.She comes back to the table and we politely let her know how long the apps took ask if it’s normal and she said yeah on Memorial Day blah blah. Well we were here last Memorial Day. We will never be back

This being our first visit, we knew the food would be great, but we were not sure what to expect. We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation. Our hostess suggested we visit the bar area to wait and she would come find us when our table was ready. A short wait with half a beer, and we were found and escorted to our table. We were there for my daughters birthday, and we had a great time with fantastic service.

We were celebrating a family birthday on a Sunday evening, and the restaurant was busy the whole two hours we were there! The food was creative and delicious; the service was attentively prompt and the ambiance was like a large family’s kitchen! Thank you for a delightful meal💐

We ordered the Forager with sausage and the Sunnyside for 3 people expecting there to be leftovers. There were none! The Forager with sausage was incredible and was the first one demolished. Ashton was an incredible server and if you can request him, i would. The soft serve ice cream was light and delish. We chose the flavor of the day, cookies & cream with caramel sauce. Again, a great portion and fully demolished. Our bill with tip was just over 100 and that including 2 beers and a diet Coke. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be returning.

I always look forward to visiting Pizzeria Lola when hosting guests in the cities!! The best chef driven wood fire pizza I've found to date. Try the wings, and kimchi as starters.
