We ate here before a show at St. Kate's. I didn't know they had a dining room. It's really cute. Quick and friendly service. The salad with Italian dressing was good. Like the addition of the chopped up pepperoni in it. We tried the spaghetti and had a thin crust sausage and mushroom pizza. Both were really good and we will return here! What a cute neighborhood joint. It was easy to park on the street, but watch out for big puddles! read more

I ordered a Margarita pizza & a thin crust Italian sausage pizza & they were awful! The Margarita pizza was more like cheese bread, which would have been ok if that was what II had ordered. The Italian sausage was a mess... a super thin crust that stuck to the box with way too much sauce, a little bit of cheese & a few pieces of sausage thrown on, mostly in one spot! Won't be going there again. read more

Love the staff. Wonderful ambiance and excellent food. We come often to get the pepperoni pizza and a glass of sparkling rose. Yummy salads.

Never met a pizza shop so terrified about putting sausage on a Pizza. 14" gets you 12 nuggets of sausage. Sad read more

Back again for the coveted lunch special. It comes with a soup or salad and a pizza or a sandwich plus a drink. There are different daily deals, but you can always pair your lunch special with a pizza. It's just the right amount. I didn't take a picture of the salad, but it was a vinaigrette salad. Very good! Cheap lunch about $12. read more

Carbones Pizzia 4 - Sausage mushroom special - Pizza Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

We had a great lunch. Many specials and all at a very reasonable cost under $10! Service was stellar and the young girls really hustled to get the food and drinks to the tables! At-a-girl!!! A warm and friendly atmosphere along with a broad meby means well be back soon. read more

Great pizza and service. Love their salads and garlic bread. I highly recommend Carbones.

I live near this carbone's so naturally I've visited a few times. This location always seems busy, parking on the street is easy but can be annoying when customers park too close to the curb making it difficult/dangerous to turn on Randolph. The pizza here it's ok. They put A LOT of cheese on their pizza so I ask for "half cheese" for a regular portion. Service is either okay or bad. I've seen people come in and wait for 10-15 mins and not get served. I've also eaten an entire pizza and not get a water refill until asking for it. The vibe here is weird. Definitely not my favorite place for dine in pizza. If the servers and customers were more diverse, I would feel more comfortable dining in. Their lunch special is pretty good. You can get a 1 topping personal pizza, salad and drink for 9 dollars. read more

Pizza was so undercooked that the cheese wasnt even fully melted. It was pretty much ice cold. Salad was just a few chunks of iceburg lettuce and a pirce of tomato. Soda was nothing but a cup full of ice and two sips of soda. Would not retun. read more

Pretty good pizza! Cheapest dinner I've had a while. Carbones special WITH fish is the way to go! They were pretty busy with regulars on an early Sunday evening. It's a seat-your-self model, so we grabbed some spots at the bar. The server was attentive and quick. Overall, a nice affordable casual pizza place to grab a tasty bite! read more

Carbones Pizzia 4 - The Carbone's Special thin crust without the seafood - a good pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I have had the pizza here both in the restaurant and take home but my favorite is the Italian sub with 3 meats, hot peppers and both cheeses. I get it served hot and it is one of the best sub sandwiches I have ever had. They do serve wine and beer. Joslyn is my usual server and she is excellent at her job. read more

Carbones Pizzia 4 - Pizza menu - Pizza Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I would never recommend Carbone's on west St. Paul....they told us on the phone being 3 blocks away that they can't promise our food would be hot and still would have to pay the full price.....0 stars read more

This is my happy place. It's where I go for my birthday. It's where I'd want my last meal. The pizza is fantastic. It's what I'd call "Minnesota style" pizza, thin crust cut into squares. Their cheese is bursting with flavor. They'll sell you just the cheese at cost if you ask nicely. I used to buy it and cook with it at home, not just pizza but like everything. The service is good. Plenty of street parking. Carbones on Randolph is it. read more

Carbones Pizzia 4 - Pizza ất thế bar - Pizza Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

The pizza here is delicious and dangerous (because it's hard to stop eating it once you've started)! LOVE Carbone's pizza!!

We pop into this little pizza joint. Got a stop up at the bar, so we could look outside. Ordered a nice little house salad that was ok. Ordered a large special, minus the fish.(no shrimp or anchovies) for us, plus we like ours well done. Came out pretty quickly and was delicious. Nice service too. read more

Carbones Pizzia 4 - Large special pizza - Pizza Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I love a local pizza place, and this is definitely that. However, the pizza was very average. The main issue I saw with it is that it seems the vegetables are put on the pizza raw, and under thick layer of cheese. The effect of that was undercooked veggies lacking flavor on the pizza. I also felt that the pizza was undercooked in general, only adding to the issue with the veg. I want to love this place, because it's a local spot that's been around forever, but I also want to provide honest feedback to try and help make things better. read more

The lunch specials are great and the service is always good! The pizza and soup are very tasty and reasonable!

If you're expecting a hearth-baked margherita pizza or swiss chard salad here, you're going to be sorely disappointed. No, Carbone's is eye-talian, not Italian. This long-time establishment serves up an antipasto salad with ice berg lettuce topped with sliced black and green olives, and pepperoncini straight out of a jar. Also topped with strips of pepperoni, a slice of salami, and a slice of mozz with your choice of dressing, likely all from a Sysco truck. A slice of buttered Texas toast cut diagonally with garlic salt. You know what, though? With a pint of the freshest, coldest Bent Paddle Bent Hop in the Twin Cities, it's freaking delicious for a low-cost, great weekday dinner seated at the bar. Their pizza is the very traditional midwestern, cracker-crust herby sauce affair with a good slab of melted mozz. I always ask it to be baked golden brown. Their default baking is a little under-done in my opinion. It's served to you uber-casually on a butcher paper lined cafeteria tray. They really aim to please, as their motto is "pizza as you like it". The staff are often young college students. They are lively, fun, and courteous. Their recent expansion happened some time in 2018-19, when they acquired the neighboring space east of the original restaurant and they expanded to include a bar counter and more seating. It has really made it a cozy neighborhood place in my mind to stop by regularly every 8-10 weeks or so. I pass it often on the way home from coffee and I'm never disappointed. read more

Service, very nice staff...attentive. Restaurant, clean and comfortable Food, pizza, Absolutely delicious and always consistent. read more

Decent pizza, but definitely caters to a certain type of pizza lover. The pizzas are square and cut into small squares. They are very "America" for pizza type with loads of cheese. I prefer Neapolitan style better, so this isn't my fav type, but my kid loves this type. The restaurant is always full, and has good service too. Nice local business and kind staff. read more

In the mood for a classic pizza I suggested we give Carbone's a try. Super convenient on Randolph Ave. we ordered take out and I picked up. Pizza was ready to go. Delicious pizza cut the Minnesota way! Great quantities of topping and cheese. The sauce had a nice flavor and the toppings were fresh and tasty. Now I why this place has been around so long. My new local, traditional pizza joint. I look forward to trying more of the menu. read more

I was craving carbone's recently and decided to go to this one. The staff was nice and were working very hard as a it was a busy nice. I did have to wait 40 minutes for my pizza but it was done on time. They do put the pizza in bags at this location which I assume is to make the crust stay crispy but it is kind of hard to carry more than one not in boxes. That being said you can ask for a box when ordering. Overall it was good but the sauce from this location is different then the one I'm used to, this was much more tomato based. I probably won't go to this location again as I do have a location I prefer but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. read more

Good, not amazing, but still good. We got two pizzas for takeout. First, we built our own with a 14" large thin crust including sauce, cheese, tomatoes, green pepper, mushrooms, and hot pepper rings. Second, my boyfriend wanted to try The Lafay, which is their "own special creation, blending a pizza and a sub sandwich." Melted mozzarella, salami, lettuce, tomato, onion and hot pepper rings stuffed between two pizza crusts. It was not what we expected and resembled more of a giant pita sandwich. Overall, we were satisfied with our pizzas, but will continue to scout out the best pizza in the city before this becomes a go-to spot. read more

See all

Excellent service, salad and pizza! Consistently amazed. Highly recommend!' Best za in town!

Ordered 2 large pizzas, it was OK. But didn't like that they sliced it in tiny squares. Too much onion (extender) on their house pizza, the tomato base was flavorless. Was like eating an onion pizza. Chicken wings was underdone. Spaghetti meatballs was flavorless. Garlic bread was good. read more

Your pizza is why I come to your restaurant and it is the reason I had been coming to your restaurant for 30 years. However, your current wait staff needs training and supervision. A few things would go a long way... make sure the order is read back to the customer so there is no confusion later, make sure you understand how the bill will be divided later, make sure you check on your party if they need more drinks, napkins or anything else periodically thru out the meal. Clear excess glassware through out the meal, bring fresh glasses for new wine orders, make your best to align the oven so the orders do come to the table at the same time. Please do better. I love your restaurant and really want to continue to come. read more

I absolutely love picking up a pizza for takeout from here! I would frequently get pizza for takeout from a different location as a kid, so getting Carbone's is always comforting in a way. No complaints for this location. I have never had a problem with the staff and customer service is great. Calling and ordering is easy, and the pizza is always ready when they say it will be. I love their pan style pizza and they are more generous than most places with the toppings. Lifelong customer here! read more

Only been here once but ordered a little bit of everything. The pizza, mozzarella sticks, and garlic knots stand out. The knots aren't brushed with garlic butter but submerged in it. The mozzarella sticks were coated in a sweet batter that complimented the cheese and was even better without the dipping sauce. The pepperoni pizza was incredible. Tasty with thing square slices not drenched in grease. I also ordered the honey bbq wings and they were not good. They had almost no flavor and was like eating plain wings. The ones themselves tasted like they were boiled or were lightly baked. read more

I have lived in the neighborhood for years but had never been in before. Got a meatball sandwich and it was fantastic. The cheese. The sauce. The meatballs. The bread. It was all perfect. I have been missing out but I am now definitely going back. read more

The food was awesome and the food server was very good at her job. The female manager was very rude and arrogant. My wife who was blind was talked like a child and treated in a demeaning manner. Their policies about parties above 12 will be required to be put on one ticket on a credit card which would have been very hard on the credit card holder. I guarantee that we will as a group take our business somewhere else and I myself will never eat there also. We usually as a group get together for four times a year. This is the first time we had a chance to looked at this restaurant to see if we were going to pick this restaurant for one of our gathering places. People from the American Council for the Blind, two different churches, wrestling club and a transgender organization were present during this time in your restaurant. We are going to make another selection. My name Carl N. 65-207-3366 if this establishment has a problem with my evaluation. I am for myself will never go to carbone's in the future read more

We've lived here for three years now, so we finally decided to try the pizza place that is arguably the closest to our house. Go figure. Sometimes we don't win any awards for smarts. As others have said, Carbone's serves thin crust pizza cut into squares. The crust is really crackery and crisp, which I personally like very much. Despite the pile of toppings and generous amount of cheese, the crust remained crispy, which is a feat unto itself. I also really did like the cheese -- nice and rich, melty and delicious. It was a bit on the greasy side, but it's pizza. So whatever. One in our party thought the sauce was pretty sweet but to me it just tasted like good pizza sauce. We also got the "pizza fries" or whatever they're called, which really was like a small cheese pizza cut into strips and served with a side of marinara sauce. The crust on this was different, thicker and more like a pan pizza. We enjoyed it but I really think the name of the dish is kind of confusing. As others have mentioned, it's carry-out or dine in only. No delivery. The dine-in portion of the restaurant was small... some tables and booths and a seat yourself sign. Nothing fancy. They certainly seem to do a robust takeout business though. The pizza in a bag thing was something I'd never experienced before moving to Minnesota, but I have been pleased that the staff here does tend to offer you a box if you are carrying out more than a few pies. Though they do always still bag one pie that presumably will be on the top of the stack. Despite what you may think, the bags actually do a good job of keeping the pizza warm until you can get it home. Or, maybe we just feel that way because we live so close. Either way, Carbone's is a perfectly decent old-school down-home pizza shop. If you like that sort of thing :-) read more

They would get 5 stars if the little white cardboard/paper thing didn't fuse to the crust when you got an everything pizza as delivery causing you to literally have to eat paper... That being said, it is AWESOME pizza! read more

Love it. The staff is really kind. The wait time isn't too bad. Overall, the service is great. The ambiance is good. The restaurant is well lit and is decorated well. Inside the restaurant is a bar.

Well, if you like raw dough inside your pizza, and be charged $11.00 delivery fee on top of your $8.00 tip, and insulted, Carbone's is the place to order from. Disgusting. The Seamless agent told me Carbone's claimed there was no way this happened. But when I called Carbone's directly, the jerk who picked up said, "That's the way we make our pizza." So obviously they are not interested in telling you the truth, or providing good service. Double disgusting. Now instead of a refund of $19.00, plus tax, on a $54.48 order, I am forced to dispute the entire order with my bank. Very stupid of Carbone's. Seamless/GrubHub and Carbone's just blame each other for this stuff and hide behind each other. Seamless said they must arrange the refund and call the restaurant themselves. Carbone's told me to take it up with Grubhub/Seamless. It was a disgusting pizza and it's waiting to go into the garbage. It was almost midnight and I was starving -- I would have eaten just about anything. But not this. read more
