Boludo specializes in pizza, but with an Argentinian twist. In January 2025, Dave Portnoy visited Boludo's Miami location (now closed), and rated the pizza a 7.8/10. The rating seemed low, so I had to try it for myself. My wife and I went to the original location in the Kingfield neighborhood of Minneapolis. We got 3 empanadas, a pizza, flan, and churro donuts. The menu features 7 empanadas. Of those, we tried the carne, jamón y queso, and the Messi. The carne was my favorite, but all 3 were worth getting. So much so, I'd come here for the empanadas alone. As for the pizza, we kept it simple and got the pepperoni. Boludo's pizza is like none other I've ever seen before. It's somewhat oval shaped, but with 4 corners, and has cheese heavily sprinkled over the crust. Aside from being a bit greasy, the pizza was solid, and better than the 7.8 Dave Portnoy gave it. Similar to the pizza, the flan had a unique presentation, as well. Rather than a slice or its typical round appearance, Boludo's flan is served in a jar and topped with candied pecans. It was rich, but that didn't stop me from gobbling it all down. Lastly, we had the churro donuts. These were reminiscent of cider mill donuts, but better. The donuts didn't need a dip, but the dulce de leche it came with was enjoyable. Boludo didn't miss on any of the items we ordered. Not only did I find the overall experience to be unique, I was genuinely impressed, as well. As strange as it sounds, make sure to check out the bathroom if/when you visit!

Amazing cheese pizza

I ordered from Boludo because they had a two for one cheese pizza special. This is fantastic pizza! I haven't even ordered from any of the other pizza places in the Minneapolis area. I would like to try others but this is so good. I ordered Uber Eats. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

Been seeing the pizza here on social media a lot and wanted to check it out. We went on a Sunday shortly after it opened. It's a smaller restaurant but they do have a few tables to dine in. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, margarita pizza, pizza empanada and the churro donuts. Everything was really good! I really like the sweetness of the sauce and how it balances with the cheesy crust. The vibes here were really cool. They had good music playing and at first they had a soccer game on but seen my mom had her Vikings gear on and without asking or mentioning anything, they change the tv to the Vikings game, which was nice. For sure want to come back and try more.

Tried Boludo Pizza in Southwest Minneapolis and really enjoyed the unique Argentine-inspired concept. The margherita pizza itself was very tasty, and the cheese-covered crust definitely makes for a striking presentation. That said, the shredded cheese on the crust was a bit overwhelming and took away from actually enjoying the crust itself. Our biggest issue was honestly the customer service and overall flow of the restaurant. As first-time visitors, it was very unclear whether we were supposed to seat ourselves or order at the counter, and we didn't receive much direction when we asked. Everything is very self-serve, including grabbing your own plates and water, which is totally fine once you know the process, but better communication would really improve the experience. Overall, we enjoyed the pizza and appreciated the creative style, though vegetarian options were somewhat limited. We'd likely return and just know what to expect next time.

Pepperoni pizza

Upon arriving we circled the block to find parking. You enter, order at the counter and find a seat. A bit cramped inside as they tried to maximize meeting in this small space. Water, side plates and utensils are self serve, at the station just inside the door. 2 stars for service because there really isn't any and the employees don't talk or engage with you. Pepperoni pizza came out and was A+ for presentation. Flavor was just ok, dough was so thin that toppings were falling off and it just became a gooey mess. 6/10 Chicken and beef empanadas were good, the dough was perfect and the side of chimichurri was tasty. The beef was a bit greasy with grease dripping out after the first bite. 8/10 Caesar salad looked amazing. Unfortunately it was so heavily dressed with lemon I couldn't taste anything else. Literally. My mouth was all puckered as if I had just eaten sour candy. At $16 a salad (and I was starving) I ate it anyway. 2/10 Assortment of beer and seltzers available. Sodas (bottled) run $3.50. Overall just an average experience. Not worth the drive or hassle for parking, and the salad was definitely a huge disappointment.

Donuts!!

Stopped by for lunch and could not have been more excited!! We tried a carne empanada and pizza!! The empanada was incredible. So much flavor! The pizza was perfection. Light and airy crust. Service was easy and Fast!! We will be back!!

Campo
Angela W.

Stopped in after a MN Vikings game and was able to sit upstairs right away. First time here. Lots of tables and fun circular booths. Upstairs has a lot of long table seating. You order food at the entrance and they bring the food to you. You have a number at your table. You will need that number when you order. I had the Campo. Argentinian Chorizo and onion. Yo!!! This was bomb. We also had the Carne and the Pollo empanada. The chimichurri sauce on the side was good but not needed. The flaky empanadas had a lot of flavor and filled with carne or chicken. I left here full to the brim! I will be back to try other pizzas.

Fresh cinnamon donuts! Mmmm
Ronda S.

Stopped in after afternoon dancing. Parking was a little hard to find. The pork empanada was fresh and delicious with a yumny sauce. The donuts were fresh and tasted amazing. I was set on getting the donuts, but they only had a large serving, so better if you're with a group. They reheated later and still tasted pretty great. The prices weren't listed, so I had to ask about pricing and the empanada seemed a little pricey for its size. In my experience, any restaurant that does not make it easy to find prices is often on the more expensive end. Check. Employees were nice and there was a little seating inside and out. Overall, yummy, freshly made food.

Delicious Pizza and Empanadas! This was my first experience with Argentine food and it was fabulous. The cute decor and unique flavors added some fun to our lunch date. Ambiance was (4/5). This tiny restaurant was decorated so beautifully with personal and cultural elements sprinkled in. I loved it! However, I hated that the bathrooms only had black lighting available. Next time, I'll use the facilities at home before coming to this restaurant. I felt so creeped out by the darkness of their bathroom. Service was cafeteria style. The person who took our order was friendly, but I'm not sure if there was a language barrier resulting in a small error in our order (we received Espinaca instead of Puerro empanadas). Campo Pizza (5/5) the chorizo and caramelized onion flavors danced on my tongue. SO much mozzarella that we got full and had to take half of it home. Argentinian chorizo, mushroom, onion, mozzarella, and san marzano. Espinaca Empanada (5/5) We actually ordered Puerro Empanadas but we weren't mad bc these were SO delicious. The melt cheese was amazing and the crust was buttery and crisp. Spinach, fresno peppers, and reggianito cheese. Carne Empanadas (4/5) Only order these if you like the taste of green olives, bc they overpower the other flavors. Same buttery pastry crust. Beef picadillo, ají molido, and olives. The accompanying Chimichurri sauce had a nice spice to it, but I actually preferred the empanadas without it.

We had a great experience at boludo. We've heard good things about boludo and wanted to see for ourselves and it absolutely lived up to the height. We got the campo pizza, ham and cheese, and beef empanadas and the churro donuts. It was absolutely WAY too much food for 2 people so we took a lot to go, but we really enjoyed everything. The pizza is incredible in my opinion, rich and savory with a literal mountain of shredded cheese on top. Just the way I like it. Definitely felt like a new style of pizza, but absolutely stands up to a classic definition of pizza. the empanadas were tasty too, we liked the ham and cheese one the best but enjoyed the beef empanadas as well. the churro donuts were incredible, highly recommend them. they're soft, chewy and so dang tasty!! will be back soon!! it's a very small interior, but they have outside tables as well. it definitely was giving Argentinian sports bar inside with a full on shrine to soccer. would be a great place to watch a game and drink beer with a friend.

Pepperoni Pizza
Sean G.

Ever since Boludo popped up in the Twin Cities I've been very curious to try it out. The long oval shaped pizza with an Argentinian spin on it, I was quite intrigued. One cloudy afternoon two friends and I set sail for Boludo's South Minneapolis location. We got there and were welcomed by the aroma of empanadas and pizza, my mouth already salivating; I quickly dissect the menu. As an avid pepperoni lover, I hastily settled on their pepperoni pizza. We all ordered pepperoni and it was out in roughly 20 minutes. The first bite was a blast full of flavor, the san marzano tomatoes made the marinara sweeter than what I'm used to. I liked the sweetness at first, but after eating a whole pie of it I become slightly overwhelmed by the sweetness. The crust is crispy and done just right, everything about this pizza was great except the marinara. Overall I would recommend trying this spot and will have to go back for their empanadas, which I have heard nothing but good things about.

Cesar salad 4.5/5
Gavin M.

Ordered the pepperoni pizza & Cesar salad. Both were delish. Around 35 bucks for the two items. I gave both a 4.5/5 rating. I really enjoyed the grated cheese on both dishes. Cesar salad had a little bit of a fishy taste so this may be more of an authentic Cesar than you get elsewhere. Pizza had a sweeter sauce than I'm used to but it was excellent. Pretty small dining area & order at cash register btw. Service was alright. One thing to be aware of is the bathroom is like being in a laser tag game. You cannot see much in there since the bulb is a black light. Kinda cool tbh I'd recommend this spot

The inside is small and quaint- there is limited seating
Nicole N.

Was craving pizza and decided to take my young sons to this pizza place! It did not disappoint! There is free street parking. The inside has a very sporty and "hole in the wall" vibe. It was very clean and as soon as someone got up, there was an employee cleaning the table! Very impressed! You order at the counter and then they bring it out to you. The service here was lovely! They even included a beef empanada that I didn't order to try! The chicken and beef empanada's were delicious! The pepperoni pizza was definitely something I would come back for! It is thin and greasy, which sounds bad but the cheeses were rich and sooooo tasty! This is not a pizza you eat when you are counting calories/ dieting haha. The churro doughnuts were fantastic! The dulce de leche sauce compliments these so well! I'll definitely be thinking about those till I get them again haha. Definitely give this place a try!!

How to reheat empanadas?

Oven

Those of you that have ordered for two, how much food did you get? We're thinking a pizza for sure but going back and forth on how many empanadas we should add.

One pizza is good for two, but I wouldn't split empanadas

Is there anything keto friendly on the menu?

My answer would be no. It's not an extensive menu and they don't really do modifications. We eat here when we know we're going to carb load.

I ordered thru Uber eats and the delivery driver decided to take his sweet time to deliver the pizza. As I waiting in the lobby of my hotel for him, I saw him pull up to my hotel and he sat in his car for nearly 10 minutes doing God knows what as he left his vehicle. He slowly walked towards the entrance of the hotel holding my pizza while on his phone laughing. I'm pretty sure he was on Instagram. Seen a very funny post while my pizza is getting colder and colder. I contacted Uber eats and they told me it wasn't their problem. I would have to contact the restaurant. So I did and I got in contact with Emily. She was so helpful. Very respectful and showed so much urgency for my concern. I told her I'm pretty sure this pizza is delicious. However, Uber eats told me it wasn't their problem. It was a restaurant's problem. Emily helped me by calling Uber eats herself and they told her I should call Uber eats myself so they can refund me well, Uber eats policy is if the food is cold it's not their problem. Even though I didn't get a hot pizza, with the amazing customer service Emily delivered, I will absolutely be coming back to try a hot pie from Black sheep. Thank you so much Emily for being awesome!

When my friend and I walked in, we came into a fairly spacious dimly lit space with loads of people inside. We were immediately informed that there would be over 1.5hr wait for a walk-in table. We were given the option to wait for bar seating as it would probably be quicker - and surely, it was. We did have to wait quite a bit, but it was a tolerable amount of time and definitely less than what it would have taken for an actual table. My friend and I decided to share 2 pizza pies as we wanted to get a taste of two different flavors, so we eventually settled on Korean BBQ & Perfect Pickle Pie. KOREAN BBQ As it was created by a Korean chef, it definitely had true authentic Korean flavors. As a Korean myself, I was very familiar with this soy vinaigrette and have tried this on many salad before - so, it was hitting home for me. Also, you can't go wrong with the bulgogi/beef short ribs known to all those who had Korean BBQ before. The combination of the sauces that they use for this pizza is definitely very rich, full of umami. I personally enjoyed it. PERFECT PICKLE PIE This pie was a totally different flavor to the Korean BBQ. It's less rich and maybe can be overpowered or considered more bland compared to other pizza flavors. But when tried together with the BBQ, it balances out the richness of the BBQ with the more subtle/less umami flavors. This pie gives more of a tangy/sour taste that pickles provide and more of a crunch due to the chips that are added on top. The dill is present, but not overpowering. It's a nice low-key kind of taste that people who like pickles will enjoy. Overall, the flavors were very rich in every pizza pie that we had that our mouths were bursting with flavor. It was definitely the most unique pizza toppings that I've had and can see why it's so highly regarded. I can tell that they really are meticulous with their every process and that their pizza guy by the wood fire oven is expertise in what he does. My friend and I walked out quite satisfied and I was honestly more full than I expected.

We got the special morel pizza to share, and the price was STEEP (I think around $50) due to the rarity of morels, but it was the best thing we had! The gluten-free pizza crust felt small and wasn't overly substantial, so we didn't find much of the meal filling. This meal was quite pricey, and this second experience was more lackluster than our first.
