About the restaurant

Maynard’s in Rogers opened in 2004 with a mission to provide amazing food as well as impeccable service. We proudly aim to be the place the locals are proud to call home, but also a place for a great pit stop on your hwy 94 commute!

Maynard’s is locally owned and operated and is proud to give back to the communities it serves. We truly enjoy contributing in any way we can –from donating a percentage of sales to our local food shelf and sports teams, to grilling burgers at the Rogers high school football games.

About the restaurant

One of the things that truly sets Pizza Pub apart is our unique pizza sauce. If you’ve ever tried our pizza, you know there’s simply no comparison when it comes to the flavor of our sauce. It’s this dedication to taste and quality that has earned us the award for the "Best House Special" in Minnesota. Our Pizza Pub Special is a testament to everything we stand for: it starts with pepperoni, sausage, and ground beef, followed by mushrooms, green olives, diced onions, and diced green peppers, all topped off with the same award-winning 100% REAL® Wisconsin mozzarella cheese that’s been part of our recipe since day one.

Food was good, but the restaurant was really cold inside. I wish I would have had my jacket with me.
