Hello Pizza

Can’t ask for much more from a slice of pizza. Hello Trinity (pepperoni /​sausage /​mushroom) is my go-​to along with the ever-​classic cheese.
Meatball sandwich and Korean meatball sandwich are also on point. Oh and they have a photo booth too. Love this spot!

We’ve ordered pizza from here a few times. Unfortunately the pizza is just nothing to write home about (I love Lola) and cost is outrageous for ‘average pizza’ delivery

I’ve been here a few times. It’s a decent pie, which can be hard to dig up in MN unless you’re dealing with the artisan/​craft mentality. This has a veneer of that. It has the NYC transit stuff on the walls, and the crew has that bike shop vibe. No one is about to toss the dough. But the basic recipe for sauce and dough is on the money. I judge any pizza place by the humble cheese pizza, and theirs can go toe to toe with a lot of tri-​state area corner shops. Haven’t tried the meatball sub — I’ll leave the Korean cowboy for the food truck crowd — but I’m imagining it’s a decent sub. If your standard is Papa Johns this might go over your head, but if you like a real pizza the way they make it from ME to FL, try this place.

Great thin east coast style pizza! Salads and beer are good too.

Pizza was fresh and delicious… I went the traditional route with plain cheese pizza. It was pretty close to the pizza you get by the slice in New York.
The 90s pop music playing in the restaurant was a pleasant bonus, too!
Only real complaint was that the restaurant was extremely cold!

I only ever get the plain cheese pizza here, and it’s perfect. Sauce has excellent flavor, cheese is perfectly melted — but the crust is the star for me — sturdy and crisp with a chewy interior. Yum!

It’s not NY style but it’s close. The crust is thinner and crunchier, without the chewy part under the sauce, compared to a typical pizzeria slice from back home. Still, this place makes by far my favorite slice in the twin cities. Yes, slice, you can just a get a slice instead of buying a whole damn pie. I stick with cheese, pepperoni, or sausage. I only wish the slices were longer rather than wide.

Pizza by the slice, family friendly, engaging staff, quick service and absolutely incredible pizza. My $ 7 lunch (1 large pie-​slice, Soda and tip) is worth the 11 minute drive from work!
WOWed
Might in fact be the best pizza I have had in the metro. Only close one is Sammy’s in Coon Rapids.

I came in to get a to-​go order and the place was empty, but it was at like 4 pm. The special was an adobo chicken pizza, so I got a slice of that and the Korean Cowboy sub. The food was done fast. The pizza was nothing special– if you are expecting Lola then you will be disappointed. It was decent. The Korean Cowboy was really good– the meatballs were perfect and so were the toppings. Bread was a little too crunchy but overall great flavor.

Helloooo! So pleased to meet you. I’m a NY/​SO FLA transplant that has been looking for a good pizza for the last three years. I’ve tried so many different pizzerias in the twin cities without much luck, my search is over.
Bottom line, perfect dough, great cheese, tasty sauce, and quality toppings all make for a top notch pizza. I tried it for the first time Wednesday (pep, mush) and tried it again the following Saturday (sicilian), both were awesome and baked to perfection.
Pro tip: call them to place your order, show up 5 minutes before they tell you it will be ready. Check out the atmosphere. If it’s too bright, too noisy, too quiet, too whatever, go home with your order. If you like the atmosphere, have a seat, I’m sure they won’t mind. I prefer to take mine home.
Thank you Hello.

If you’re looking for pizza as good as its sister, Pizzeria Lola, then you will be disappointed. However, it’s good, has delivery (unlike Lola), and isn’t too expensive.
I did take-​out, and I’m glad I did because the open, metallic, harshly-​lit interior is not exactly a place I want to sit and relax with a slice.

I wanted to like you so bad Hello, why did you have to be so sub-​par!!! Ugh.
I feel horrible about writing a bad review (it’s my first «below three stars» review, you guys… this is really hard). It must be the Minnesotan in me. But, I can’t lie.
Hello, you disappointed me. I thought you were going to be really good NY pizza. I thought you were going to be all drippy and droopy in the middle. I thought you’d have that slightly oregano-​y taste fused together with just the right amount of melty cheese…
But you weren’t that. You were bland.
Also. PRICES. Sheesh, so expensive.
Anyways, thank you Hello Pizza for taking my negative review virginity. It was not the most pleasant experience.

Helloooooo delivery guy! Hello now shows up at your door, which completely wins me over.
I’m really really in love with this as a delivery pie. It’s got the right texture, the right flavor, the right cheese ratios, and it’s just absolutely good.
It very much reminds me of extremely good NYC delivery pies, while the slice experience doesn’t quite hit my nostalgia triggers. Go figure. I have no idea why, only that I have my new delivery go to. Re-​heat the next day or go for cold.
Price for quantity and quality is awesome. 18 inches is very very big. Delivery was fast and brought thoughtful extras for soda add ons.
The only downside is that I think if things get very VERY out of control, someone switches the phone over to fax. So watch those weekend nights. This should die down eventually.
If I see the word «Sbarro» in another review of this place I will prank deliver Sbarro to that person, I swear…

A little bit pricey. Over 40 bucks for 2 large pizzas. We got the veggie and sicilian. More of a fan of the Sicilian. Both were pretty decent quality though. I really liked the Hello Kitty décor and the photo booth was pretty neat. Really wish it would let you retake photos though and it cost $ 3 for one quick session of 3 snapshots. If you want you can leave a copy for the restaurant to post so your friends can see when they stop by. It was walking distance to the Realtor we were meeting with so we didn’t have to worry about parking.

After experiencing the joys of Ethopian on Friday night, my wife and I decided to stay closer to home and try a new pizza place. We both were in agreement that pizza is our favorite cuisine and struggled between ordering in and going out to grab a pie. Our first thought was to go to Pizzeria Lola, which we ADORE, but when we arrived they told us there was a 2-​hour wait. Holy cow, that’s long even for a Saturday night, but we know why.
So we had selected a second choice, a place neither of us had been to before, and this time we picked Hello Pizza (3904 Sunnyside, Edina). This place wasn’t too far from where we live and if they were extremely busy, we could always head back home and order in. Drove out to Edina and were pleasantly surprised to find that there was just a short wait, it was 4 – 5 minutes tops before we got in.
Our friendly waitress sat us and we mulled over the menu. Great menu. They recommended their subs, but since we both wanted pizza we went ahead and placed an order for a large «New Yorker» pizza. This pizza comes with sausage, pepper and onions and like their other pies, is razor-​thin, as you would expect from a NY pizza. It was a little pricy at $ 24 for a large, but we can’t complain because it was really, really good pizza. The best way to describe it would be a higher-​quality version of Sbarro. Very good quality. Nice selection of non-​alcoholic drinks, including San Pellegrinos and other small-​batch sodas as well as the classic fountain drinks.
On a side note… is it just me or is Minneapolis the only place in the world that has pizzerias with operational photo booths? I’ve been all over the world and have never seen anything like this before…
Anyway, back to the experience. The pizza is top-​notch and I definitely recommend it, but I think I would recommend having it delivered (they just added delivery and unless you live in a really close proximity they probably won’t bring it to your) or carry-​out. We saw a lot of people carrying out and I think we know why.
There were plenty of families at the restaurant and the noisy children really wrecked it for me. The occasional loud kid is one thing, but a restaurant full of unruly kids running around kind of wrecks the experience. I believe another reviewer recently complained about the same issue.
So, if you can handle the annoying kids then this place will be great. For us, that knocked our review down by one star. Sorry, Hello Pizza, but if this place felt less like a Pizza Hut and more trendy like Pizzeria Lola I’d for sure give you a fourth star. Still a fantastic product.

I’ve been meaning to try this place for a while and was finally able to stop in on a Friday for lunch.
I ordered a slice of pepperoni, small cesear salad and coke and it was just over $ 9 in total. Pizza was fine with small pepperoni and a thicker, chewy crust and not much flavor; quite like Sbarro with a thicker crust. The side small was pretty small but just enough for one person but it too was a little generic tasting.
If you want bland pizza, this is the spot for you.

I work nearby — so this is a lunch spot for me. Dinner experiences may vary.
Atmosphere is diner meets antique store meets trendy minimalism. I dig it.
Lunch rush is hardly a rush. Plenty of seating and service is quick.
They have beer/​wine.
It’s a pizza joint that has good specialty pies… buuuuuut…
THE
MEATBALL
SUBS.
$ 7.95 for magic in your mouth.
You know something is good when halfway through you can’t wait to eat it again. Both varieties are exceptional. The «old skool balls» for traditional cheesy marinara goodness. The «Korean cowboy» for an extremely well done Korean twist. And the dough they use is just that perfect mix of crunch and soft.

It’s Meh. But please understand that there are people that will love it here. The pizza is good, they have slices and pies, they offer wine and beer for sale, and the servers are friendly.
But for me, I walked out with a headache. There are a lot of kids out with their parents for dinner, a lot of chewing with mouth open, and lot of people hanging over you for your seat because it is popular for the size of space. For me — I prefer the Lola location — it’s a bit trendier, the pizza is better and more variety, and while still busy and noisy, is more for me.

4 degrees is what it read on the Century 21 office near Hello Pizza, it was a frigid day. I have always wanted to try this place because I heard the sister restaurant Pizza Lola was amazing.
My wife wasn’t hungry, but she was game to let me try a slice. The large neon lettering announcing that it was Hello pizza bellowed from above as we entered. It kind of looked like a 50’s diner and they had the offerings of the day displayed in front of us at the counter.
I ordered the special of the day, which was the Hello Rita, a slice with just sauce and I think homemade mozzarella chunks on it. I also got a side Caesar salad and a Surly Furious to wash it down with.
After about 5 minutes we had our food brought out to us, they have these cool plastic plates that look like paper plates, a nice touch. The salad was super tasty with fresh greens and split cherry tomatoes. They did not drench it in dressing, just the right amount. Yummy! The Furious was of course amazing!
The pizza was a little charred on the crust but it wasn’t anything to write home about. My expectations were set so high, I think that is why I was a little disappointed. The cheese was solid, but again, the blandness of mozzarella made it tough to make it an outstanding slice.
I liked the place enough, it was like $ 15 bucks for a slice, a beer, and a salad, so a little steep for a lunch, but I am glad I tried the place out.
Good guys behind the counter, but I have checked it off the «To try» list.
My wife said Lola is awesome though, so I we will have to try that out!

I’m just not in love with Hello Pizza’s food. What I do love is the friendly staff, the cute décor and the pizza-​by-​the-​slice concept. I’m not a huge fan of the pizza, though. And for this being the main draw, I don’t think I’m hooked.
There isn’t a lot of seating inside or out, so when I came here I knew that easiest thing would be to get the pizza to-​go and eat elsewhere. I would have thought that a pizza-​by-​the-​slice restaurant would have a better to-​go option than shoving the slices in between two paper plates. This, shockingly, didn’t work at all and I managed to get marinara sauce on the seat of my car. Oops.
For some reason, the pepperoni on the meat slice we got was really memorable. Spicy and peppery. Yum.
