From what I had heard, Pizza Novara in Bloomington (near Mall of America) was owned or established…read moreby the same person as Joey Nova's in Excelsior. I therefore wanted to give it a try, since I think that Joey Nova (and Elmar Pizza) are the best New York-style pizzas in the Twin Cities. However, there is no ownership or any other ties between Pizza Novara and Joey Nova. Although they both serve New York style pizza and you can get a whole pie or a slice, that's where the similarity ends. My wife and I tried two different kinds of slices. I opted for the plain cheese, while my wife got the pepperoni. As an ex-New Yorker, i would say the pizza here is OK, but doesn't hit as well as the other two restaurants that I mention above. The pizza is ordered at the counter and brought to your table when ready. Both my wife and I thought the counter person was a bit snippy when asked a few questions about the pizza. Nothing terrible, but not particularly welcoming. There are lots of hotels surrounding this restaurant and I'm sure they get a lot of business (take-out and delivery) from the hotels and it's certainly better than most of the chains. The restaurant is bright and cheerful and there are tables to sit at if you want to eat in the restaurant.

First time customer at Pizza Supreme. I "really" wanted to like this place, due to proximity to my…read morehome, and the fact they offer "take-and-bake" pizzas. Love picking up pizza this way and simply cooking it on my schedule hours later. Ordered hand tossed 14 inch with traditional pizza sauce. Toppings were cheese and Italian sausage. Presentation was excellent. Couldn't wait to enjoy it later. First criticism would be the sausage, however. What cold be better than fresh Italian sausage on a pizza? This sausage (on the other hand) was pre-cooked, obviously provided by a food service company... very similar to what any consumer can purchase from grocery stores. Disappointing. Now the crust. I opted for "hand tossed" style crust. The crust "looked" freshly made, but after cooking it, suspect it too was not homemade dough at the restaurant, but rather, received, likely frozen from a vendor. Baked at 425ºF (per instructions) for around 15 mins. Crust edges were lightly browned, as was bottom crust. Top cheese had acquired some color as well, so it was done. The crust lofted when baked like "hand-tossed" crusts are supposed to, however, I did not smell the characteristic scent of "yeast" when baking. When sampling the pizza, could not detect any flavors of yeast in the crust, even when it had cooled a bit, further increasing suspicions this is not homemade dough on site. Crust tasted quite like some of the frozen varieties of "rising crust" pizzas do that you can find in your grocery freezer section. If it is homemade dough on site... I must apologize for being incorrect, but it certainly did not taste as such to this reviewer. Now the sauce. The traditional red sauce provided was only "okay" as well. Would describe it as very thick. Like it's 80% tomato paste, 20% sauce with very little spice. "Lacking" in flavor is what I would say. So: a crust not unlike frozen rising-crust, lackluster manufactured Italian sausage, and lackluster sauce. Nothing tasted "bad" but nothing stood-out as exceptional either. Goal here is not to upset the apple cart of this restaurant. There are plenty of 5 star reviews so they seem to have a solid fan base. Coming from a pizza lover who makes their own often from scratch, however... Pizza Supreme did not inspire. UPDATE: June 2, 2026. Just noticed the last two review after mine that glorify the place are interesting as they are the only review either reviewer has done on Yelp. Makes one wonder if they are even real. Just sayin'
