    Burnt pizza crust from being reheated!

    The pizza had good flavor but was burnt from being reheated and not thoroughly. Would be good if fresh. The Caesar salad had some weird vinaigrette/mayonnaise mixture, (tasted flowery). This was their so called Caesar dressing . And on top of salad was like the leftover crumbs from crouton bag dumped on it. The service was ok but they only had one server working the lunch hour on a Friday. So they were understaffed. The ambiance was ok but too dark. You're not a steak house, turn up the lights a little. I can still tell if pizza is burnt even I can't see it. Service was extremely slow. Not worth the wait or the money!!!!

    The entrance on the back of the building. Or you can enter from the other restaurant it's connected to called hello hi.

    I see all of these reviews and no one mentions that it is on the other side of Philips Street. I posted a picture of the door and hopefully that helps. On the other hand, I suppose that you could enter from the bar, Hi Hello (or is it Hello Hi). Basically, if you're on Philips Street, there really isn't a sign pointing you to Pizza Cheeks. Hi Hello (or Hello Hi) has a pizza neon sign in their window, but that doesn't really mean anything other than they maybe serve pizza because it sure doesn't say Pizza Cheeks inside. The NY style pizza is really good. It's a little on the saltier side, but I still found myself wanting another slice. And I probably should've gotten two slices, but I opted for the focaccia that is on their menu. It was bread. Nothing more. I ordered dipping sauces for it, but the bread itself was bland.

    Meatball pizza

    I've tried the Minnesota location twice and have been let down both times. The Hello Hi location is delicious, so for this to not meet the mark is sad. First time I ordered a pizza for pick up. I knew the wait time was long, but they got it out to us surprisingly quickly, like in only 10-ish minutes. When we got home we saw why it was so quick, the pizza was a mess! Nothing like the other reviews or pictures I've seen of the same pizza (Burger Time). I still think about how that pizza tasted because it wasn't good. More recently I ordered a pizza to be delivered. Order went through around 4:16 with projected delivery time to be 5:31. No problem. I kept checking the tracker to see where the pizza was. But I didn't get a message or see the tracker move until 5:28. From there the pizza took about as much time as I expected to get here, so it arrived at 5:44. Which considering I put the initial order in at 4:06 was kind of crazy. When it did get to my home I didn't hear a knock. The delivery driver simply put it on the cold snowy ground and left. I understand delays because of weather, but in hindsight the delivery driver took exactly the amount of time I was expecting. So was it something in the restaurant that held it up? Especially since the pizza wasn't even that good. It was bland and I immediately had to put it in the oven because it was cold. Which I also expected. However, do they not have the delivery bags that other pizza places have? I've gotten pizza delivered from other places on Minnesota avenue and it's always been hot. Basically, I'm confused. Maybe the Kaladis building is cursed. Either way, spending almost $35 on a pizza that was cold and mid and took nearly 2 hours to get made me grumpy. Especially when I was looking forward to the good pizza I've had from the brand in the past. First photo is the pizza from my first visit. (Burger time, in total around $20). Second is pizza from recent experience, which is much better but disappointing considering it cost $34, was cold, and took almost 2 hours. (It's the meatball one). Hope they can figure out how to stop having these "off days" because I've had them each time despite each visit being a couple months apart.

    Amazing cheese pizza
    Mitchell M.

    This is my new favorite pizza place that I have been to. This and Evel Pie in Las Vegas. The inside of the place is real cool. You wouldn't know how to get in from the street though but I found our way there. The guy that served us from the counter was friendly and fast. We tried all of their window slices and each one was incredible.

    The Hello Nasty on a GLUTEN FREE crust!
    Pirh Z.

    If you ask anyone in Sioux Falls, they'll tell you Pizza Cheeks is the best pizza in town. And it absolutely is. Did you know it's also the best GLUTEN FREE pizza in town? I was so excited to learn they offer gluten free crusts, and not only are they GF, but it actually may be the BEST GF pizza crust I've ever had, for real. The toppings are high-quality and the flavor is fantastic. The only downside is they are located in the Hello Hi, which is a bar (and a great bar, with ridiculous drinks and the friendliest bartenders), and so they have bar hours and bar restrictions. I was drinking and eating there on the front patio at 4pm one day when a family that got slices was told they couldn't sit there and eat because not everyone in their party was 21+, so they awkwardly stood around two feet away eating before walking away. I understand these rules and regulations aren't their fault, but people should be advised that you can't eat there with minors, inside or outside. And, because it's a bar, those bar hours are sometimes inconvenient, or just not what I want to deal with (I don't always want to be around alcohol).

    a slice taken out of a pizza box
    Kyle F.

    This pizza really wanted to be good but unfortunately I can only judge it based on what showed up in my box and this time around it just wasn't. I ordered a Marge and when it arrived, there were two things that ruined the experience. The first issue was that it was just overcooked. There's crunchy Pizza and then there's overcooked Pizza that comes out tasting like cardboard. This was the latter. Second the saltiness near the center of the pie was not as overdone and some of the flavors were able to come through. Taking a bite of the center of the pizza, my mouth immediately puckered up from the extreme amount of salt on the pizza. Don't get me wrong -- it is a tough task to balance the salt between the sauce the crust and all the different layers of cheeses and on my pizza, it simply missed the mark.

I love how the servers are knowledgeable about their wine so they give really good recommendation. The pasta was amazing as usual which always hits the spot.

I love the atmosphere as it is very elegant and charming. Highly recommend! 4.3 stars!

    My husband and I actually stumbled onto Tomacelli's completely by accident while cutting across the…read morewest side of Sioux Falls on our way toward downtown. And honestly, those accidental discoveries sometimes wind up becoming your favorite places. We were absolutely famished that afternoon and wanted something different from our usual stops when we noticed this little pizza place sitting quietly inside a fairly non-descript strip mall. At first glance, you might not expect much. Then you walk inside. The atmosphere immediately drew us in. Warm, casual, inviting, and filled with the kind of local neighborhood energy that makes you feel comfortable almost instantly. It had personality. Not manufactured "corporate chain pretending to be cozy" personality either. Real personality. Thankfully, the food completely lived up to the vibe. We ordered a large specialty pizza loaded with all the trimmings along with a smaller pepperoni pizza because my husband and I have fully embraced the philosophy that ordering "too much pizza" is not actually a real problem. It is simply future happiness. And because we apparently cannot order pizza without wings, we added a small wing order as well. The pizzas were absolutely fantastic. The crust had wonderful texture and flavor, the toppings were generous, the cheese was gloriously hot and melty, and everything arrived piping hot exactly the way pizza should. Even the smaller pepperoni pizza impressed us. Sometimes simple pizzas reveal the quality of a place better than overloaded specialty combinations do, and Tomacelli's absolutely delivered on both. Now the only small critique we had involved the wings. My husband and I personally tend to prefer traditional deep-fried buffalo wings over baked-style wings. That is simply our preference. However, even with that bias, the wings here were still flavorful and enjoyable enough that we really did not mind very much once we started eating them. And honestly, the biggest compliment we can give this place is simple: We kept coming back. Even though we live on the east side of Sioux Falls now, we still happily make the drive across town because local gems like this are worth supporting. More importantly, the consistency has remained excellent every time we have visited. That matters. Any restaurant can accidentally have one great night. The places that keep earning loyalty are the ones that continue getting it right over and over again.
