Alpha & Omega Farm was such a fun experience and absolutely worth the 45-minute to hour drive from…read morethe Twin Cities! I chose it for my birthday celebration, and it ended up being the perfect setting. There's plenty of grass parking and lots of space to spread out with lawn chairs or picnic blankets. We grabbed a table in the open gazebo, which worked perfectly for our group. I'd recommend arriving early if you want a spot near the stage, where they have live music throughout the evening. The farm opens at 5 p.m., but you can arrive as early as 4:30 to order pizza. I HIGHLY recommend reserving your crust online. It's $10, but that goes toward your pizza purchase. They also have a limited number of walk-ups available each night. We tried the Guyro and Millie the Meatlover pizzas. The Guyro had seasoned lamb, cheese, cucumber, tomato, and tzatziki and was such a unique combination, but the Meatlover was my favorite! It had plenty of Canadian bacon, pepperoni, and sausage with a great meat-to-cheese ratio. We also got the cheese curds with marinara, and definitely get some dill ranch for dipping! My one miss was the $7.50 Blueberry Basil Lemonade. I didn't get much blueberry or basil flavor and thought it tasted more like a watered-down pink lemonade. My brother's rum and Coke, on the other hand, was pretty strong for the price. You can also bring your own beverages. There's plenty to do while you wait for your pizza. The farm has pigs, alpacas, donkeys, cows, goats, plus games like cornhole and basketball. Between the animals, games, live music, and open space, it's also VERY kid-friendly. One of my favorite parts was meeting the owner, Kim, who took some time to show us around. I loved hearing about her vision of creating a welcoming space centered around community. They even have accommodations on the property and can host private events. A few things to know before you go: Bring plates, napkins, utensils, containers for leftover pizza, and a trash bag because those aren't provided. The bathrooms are also porta-potties, so come prepared! Overall, this felt like a little summer getaway without traveling far from Minneapolis. Come early, reserve your pizza, bring your picnic supplies, and make an evening out of it. I'd absolutely come back!

Good experience at the pizza farm! Cool atmosphere, neat…read moreexperience, lots of charm. Prices are absolutely outrageous though. You pay for everything here. Reserved seating for a busy day? 200-400 bucks! Pizzas are great, wood fire crust was burnt though, which lucky for me I do enjoy. However they feel quite small, 1 person could easily finish one, think frozen pizza size. Seems like a lot for 30 dollar pizzas. They could easily be profiting with the pizzas costing half as much. Definitely feels like a place for rich city folks to roleplay a farm. I understand this is a mom and pop place, but the prices are just unreasonable. I am not paying 400 dollars for several pizzas and some kitchen front seating. Band and singer were great though!

First off parking is super easy in the alley. When you walk inside it's so cute with the bicycles hanging up (true to Crosby style) and a large bar with some high tops and my favorite are the larger booths. The service is so friendly and there are some arcades games in the back to keep the kids entertained. My favorite is the jalapeño pizza with extra jalapeños. I can't speak to a lot of the other menu items as I always order the same thing as it's that good. The only negative is the bathroom is out in the buildings hallway that only fits one person but everything else exceeds my expectations!

I walked in and the atmosphere was up and everybody was happy and it looked like a good start. I asked my waitress what she would suggest I order if I wanted to come back every day for the rest of my life and that will seem to be a tough question for her. She made a few crazy suggestions and I decided to go with a purist pizza of meat and cheese. Extra cheese. I also ordered a garden vegetarian delight pizza in order to get my rabbit food in for the day. Both pizzas came out pretty quick and were nice and hot. I was expecting some serious meat and at least enough cheese to cover the pizza so I was very disappointed. I wish I would've asked for them to be cooked a while longer as well because they were thin crust and I like my thin crust crunchy. The vegetarian pizza was OK, again if the crust was crispy it would've been better. They were approximately $20 apiece for the large which wasn't really that large so again I was slightly disappointed there. If I'm ever in that area again, which is entirely possible, I probably would try somewhere different. I will say the place got really really busy in the time that I took to order and eat with the locals. Just cause it's busy does it make it great.

A lot of the food from these places have the same menu, and the food tastes the same... tasteless. I suspect that this is because a lot of these places get their food from the same suppliers. Now I don't know where Tower Pizza is getting their food, but they mainly focus on Pizza and appears that they are selling a lot of it. Which means no freezer burn shit. The pizza is tasty!!! My only criticism is the over emphasis on pizza sauce. Now it should be noted the restaurant is literally a hole in the wall with only a hand full of tables, but is very family friendly.
