Planning a family outing, one of my cousins suggested the pizza farm. I was intrigued, but a little skeptical, since pizzas don't exactly grow on farms. The farm itself is cute. Plenty of space to park and lots of room to sit out and enjoy your day. There are hiking trails, goats, outdoor games, and, the day we happened to visit, there was also live music. There were 6 of us in our group, so we ordered 3 pizzas and I saw pizza fries and wanted those, so we got those as well. Since they do wood-fired here, I was thinking they would be similar to Punch in terms of size, and I was sorely mistaken. 3 pizzas and pizza fries was all together too much for the 6 of us. In hindsight, I'd probably skip the pizza fries, since they were also the same size as the pizzas and the crust wasn't terribly crispy (definitely neopolitan style), the fries couldn't dunk in the sauce very easily. We also had the Ole, Buster, and Lola pizzas. The dessert pizza sounded so good too, but we were way too full for that. You are encouraged to BYOB here, but they also have a small selection of taps and wine available as well. The Pizza Farm is definitely worth a stop by! read more

Such a fun place to go in the summer with family and friends! The pizza is really good. We had the Field of Dreams which was a weekly feature with sweet corn from Iowa that was delicious. We also had the pizza fries which was basically garlic bread but really good. The pizza was large and we had lots of leftovers. So much fun interacting with the animals too! read more

Drove about an hour south of the cities just to try this out and it was very much worth it! My family usually around June will go camping over at Kamp Dels in Waterville. I think from now on we're going to be suggesting that we go here at least once during the weekend to get pizza. It's a wonderful little hangout. Where clearly a lot of people like to come and chill out while it's open. From the time we took the order with the gal up front, inside the barn all the way to the owner, Emily, chatting with us at the end and seeing us off properly. Both my girlfriend and I had a great time. The pizza was amazing. The ole pizza is what we ordered. We also got the dessert pizza which was even better. Both my girlfriend and I really love blueberries and the cream cheese spread was perfect! There was live music while you eat and relaxed, and a few games and critters to enjoy while you're there. Special side note... bring some of your own chairs. There are a couple of picnic tables, but most people end up forming a sitting circle around the grove. read more

It had been a few years since we visited but had the perfect opportunity (and weather) on a recent weekend. We visited a Saturday when they open at 4 and got there just a few minutes before they opened. There were a few other parties and the parking slowly started to fill over the first hour or so. Apparently the wait for pizza can get up to two hours so arrive early and make a day/evening of it. It's a farm so expect rustic. After driving down a dirt road and parking in a field you make your way to the barn to order. Other items to note are porta potties, farm animals and trails. They are a clean farm so you bring in everything (drinks, sides, plates, napkins) and take everything out...including the pizza boxes that they serve your pizza in. All the info says to bring your own chairs/tables as well. They do have plastic tables and lots of folding chairs that must be for events because they don't set them up. We forgot our chairs so opted for one of the two picnic tables that says they are available for parties of 8 or less but felt like we got some side eye and then we we're actually called out on it by the owner to other customers which was sort of odd. So definitely bring your chairs/tables/blankets. Onto pizza...it's delicious. We've now tried the Lola, mn mess and pig and pork and all are amazing. This pizza is delicious and the experience is just unique enough to make it worth the drive. Pizza: 5/5 Setting: 5/5 Service/hospitality: 3/5 read more

We ordered the Buster pizza, which included wild mushroom & sage olive oil, sausage, caramelized onions, mushrooms, basil, & fresh mozzarella! You order at the counter, are assigned a #, & then wait for your # to be called at the pizza window. There was a bit of a wait, as lots of "to go" orders were being done. However, the wait was worth it. The pizza arrived hot & fresh. I loved the crispness of the crust. There are no trash cans on site. So remember to bring all your trash home with you. Also- be sure to pack plates, napkins, & drinks if you plan on eating on site. There are some picnic tables. However, seating is limited, so you might want to BYO chair. read more

Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Waseca, Minnesota

We love pizza farms. We have been to three different pizza farms and after our visit to Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm, we may just have found not only our favorite pizza farm, but some of the best pizza we have ever had! Pleasant Grove is about an hour from the metro area. Through a small town, then out into the fields and down some gravel roads. A very scenic and quiet area. They have several pizza options on their menu including the occasional special. They also have something that no other pizza farm we have visited s had. Pizza fries. We really enjoy pizza fries and theirs are excellent! Made with fresh and shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic olive oil then baked to perfection. Their pizza fries come with a nice side of sauce. The shredded mozzarella with the fresh mozzarella a wonderful combination! After contemplating between the Lola and the Buster, we ordered the Buster. The Buster was excellent! With sausage, mushroom and caramelized onions and more fresh mozzarella, it's one of the better pizza's that I have ever had. But oh wait, there's more. We had planned on stopped for dessert on the way home however at the last minute we decided to try their Blueberry Dessert pizza. Wow! Score! This dessert may be one of the best desserts that we have ever had. We literally could not stop eating it! Full of plump juicy blueberries on top of lemon cheesecake, with honey and fresh squeezed lemon. This dessert was warm and sweet. Lighter than a bar but not over cooked. It just melted in our mouth. I'm already missing that dessert. We both agree that while the pizza is really good, we would definitely return just for that Blueberry Dessert. Really nice area to eat with a live band playing. They had drinks available and an apple cider bar. We will definitely be back here again! read more

Outstanding pizza in a very unique and enjoyable setting. Emily and the entire crew were welcoming, engaging, and genuinely interested in their guests experience. And the food is delicious. We were visiting from out of state, and will recommend this pizza farm to friends and family. read more

What a great little weekend get-away from the cities!! I have been hearing about these "pizza farms" since I moved to MN a year ago, and I am SO glad that I could check this one out despite Covid-19 raining on our summer parade. We haven't been quite ready to dine-in at a restaurant, so this place is pretty ideal: completely outdoors, bring your own seating, utensils/dishes/drinks/etc. They just hand you a piping hot box (or boxes) of fresh pizza. This was genuinely the best pizza I have had in my life. We went with "The Buster" but asked them to leave off the sausage to make it vegetarian. The flavors were amazing!! Cheesy, umami, salty perfection. The crust was crunchy and doughy. We also couldn't resist the desert pizza which featured lemon, blueberry and cream cheese. The pizzas are huge, and two of us had plenty left over. We hung out for a couple of hours, slowly noshing on pizza, sipping our BYO wine, playing card games, and listening to the live musician (who was hilarious btw). What a great wait to end summer. I am sure I sound like a horrible person writing this--but the only downside for me was that there were a lot of kids playing ball. We were trying to social distance, but unmasked kids kept running by pretty close to us, and their balls kept landing right by our blanket. Not a fault of the business, but just a heads-up if you are planning a trip there during Covid times. read more

Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm is a perfect treat for escaping the city. How it works is you bring your own blanket, chairs, table settings, drinks, dessert. You order amazingly delicious and fresh pizza. Listen to live music, take a walk around the farm, see the animals while you wait and then relax and eat your pizza on a spacious green lawn. There are many different kinda of pizza to order from and the ingredients are fresh from the farm. My favorite has prosciutto, goat cheese, and honey. The pizza is really really good and for $25 you get a large enough pizza for 2 people or more. They offer different kinds of entertainment throughout the year so check their Facebook to see if they will have live music and what bands are playing. You can always just order pizza for pick up, but if your driving all the way you might as well make a night of it. read more

Still a 5 star review for me. Even if you are doing Keto, you can still dine with your carby cohorts. PGPF has stellar charcuterie boards. I mean really, so fricken good! Definitely ask if it will be on the menu before you come. Even though I crave their pizza, these boards have my heart. read more

Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm - a sign for pleasant grove pizza farm - Pizza Near Me - Waseca, Minnesota

Its a lovely property. Isolated enough that I was beginning to wonder if I had taken a wrong turn somewhere (Siri has taken me to more than one place I wasn't looking for). Finally located it down a dirt road and pulled in. There were only two lots in the vehicle at that time as we were about 20 minutes early so we had time to wander the property. Big open barn space with what appears to be a small bandstand in the corner for music nights. They took our order at a small table. There is a big chalkboard on the way showcasing the different and options. They take cards which is great (some places don't) and we snagged a picnic table right by the door and under the overhang since it was a bit of a rainy day. We were the first order of the day. There is a large pen to the side that has a couple of goats and some other livestock in it. One goat got out and walked right up to the barn and settled in behind me so I'm constantly checking out the corner of my eye to make sure he's not going to ram me. Pizza AND a floor show. Of course, you've come this far for the pizza and overall its pretty good. We got the Buster which is mushrooms, sausage, basil, garlic, onions and a few other ingredients. It doesn't have a red sauce so its a bit of a different flavor profile than a standard pizza. The toppings were good and I would have liked it better but the crust was charred on the bottom. Not your standard wood fired oven char, but burnt. So much so that is what I mainly tasted in certain spots. I'm chalking that up to the fact that we were the very first order of the day and maybe the oven hadn't yet reached the perfect temperature yet. I guess I'll have to get there to try it again once I complete the circuit of pizza farms. It started getting pretty busy once we got ours and started eating. People bringing in tables, chairs, wine and making an event of it. The masses don't lie. Its worth a trip if you are in the area. read more

I think a pizza farm is my favorite part about living in the Midwest. This is the third farm I've been to, and the pizza may have been my favorite pizza ever, inclusive of non-farms. We ordered one that had prosciutto, honey and goat cheese and it was incredible, and we also ordered the pizza fries (regular pizza cut into strips with marinara dipping sauce) and they were SO GOOD. A to Z Pizza Farm wins out for farm ambiance, but this place is still very cute and COVID-19-friendly as well, not to mention it's only an hour from the Twin Cities. Highly recommend! read more

Cute little pizza farm about an hour drive from the twin cities. The pizza was great, my favorite was the Georgia pie which had goat cheese, arugula, prosciutto, mozzarella cheese and honey. The honey was different but made the pizza even better. There was some lawn games and nature paths, definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

We ventured off road on our way back to the Twin Cities to check this place out. Cars were starting to roll in and we had arrived 15 minutes prior to open. With just the two of us, no need for paper plates (use the box) or pulling the bag chairs out- early arrival meant we got a seat at one of the two picnic tables available. The staff was super nice. I figured they wouldn't take orders early, and they didn't, but the gal chatted with me about the menu and process and also nodded to me when she was open, lucked out with being number one! I ordered the Buster, it was a toss up because I almost went with the pig+pork. They also had a feature and another special of the day, both sounded delish. Note they don't do half and half of pizzas but any order you can add to it if you want more ingredients. We had our own water but they had bottled water and soda available. You can also bring your own alcohol. Lots of lawn space for picnicking and barn space to protect from the elements. They even had a mini stage where they obviously have performers and there are a handful of farm animals to keep you entertained while you wait for your pizza. Bathroom is an outhouse though. Glad we went out of the way for lunch here! read more

We took a 1 1/2 hour drive from the Twin Cities to eat wood fired pizza on the farm. Don't forget your chairs, beverages, dessert, plates and silverware. Bring a bag for trash. Plan to spend some time and don't be in a hurry for your food. They had a band and it was nice to listen to them! You can play some lawn games, take a walk or see the donkeys and goats. Your kids will love it here! The pizza was $25 for a 16 inch. It was tasty! read more

Located just off the beaten path in Waseca, this place is so interesting in so many ways! It's a family owned business and if you're lucky enough, when you walk into the barn the first person you'll see will be Bill (he's awesome!) I was scared that they might not accept my card but they take most major credit cards (phew!) The wait for your pizza can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours depending on business level. Key thing to note: PGPF only supplies you with a hand washing station, toilet and pizza, the rest you bring for yourself which is super fun if you love picnics but don't have the stamina to do the whole thing. They've got you covered on the pizza. We went with some infused lemonades and salad, our own forks, knives, plates, cups, chairs - the works. Again, will ONLY supply pizza, toilet and hand washing station. On that note, bring your own trash bag! It's such a clean farm with beautiful views and we all need you to take your trash back where it came from. Now, the pizza: HOLY BAJEEBEES, the pizza is SO good. We got the Buster which is sausage pizza on fancy-mode. I love thin crust pizza and the dough was fresh! We went on a Sunday so the music started at 4:30. It was a cover-duo that day and they provided great entertainment while munching away at some bomb a** pizza! There are also trails to take a nice walk in the woods if you're waiting for or done with your pizza and some cool farm animals to hang out with Whether you have kids with you or not, everyone is guaranteed to have a good time read more
