This review is for the FOOD TRUCK version of Pizza Barn only…read more Excellent pizza from a truck - 4 stars! This is the mobile food truck version of the Pizza Barn restaurant in Princeton. I found them at the Elm Creek Brewing Company in Champlin. The truck has a very limited menu compared to the bricks n' mortar restaurant. Basically, they offer several varieties of giant pizza slices and several hand-held desserts...nothing else from the full restaurant menu. The pizza was excellent. I ordered the "Cowpie" pizza. This one seems to be the Pizza Barn version of a deluxe or a supreme, loaded pizza. You can definitely taste the high grade cheese and the quality ingredients. And the slices are huge. They barely fit on a full sized paper dinner plate. The dessert was good too. Not great...but good. They call it a "Special K" bar but it seems to be a super dense rice crispy bar with chocolate frosting. The truck itself it pretty cool too. I like the color and the graphics. It really catches your eye. I only noticed 2 minor things that might need improvement. First, the dessert bar was cold and extra chewy. In fact, it was so chewy, it was hard to eat. Even my 130 pound dog chewed like crazy when I shared a chunk with her! It might help if the bars were brought to room temperature before passing them on to a customer. That's just a guess though, I'm not an expert. Second, the employee was continuously distracted and she didn't seem interested in being there - pretty unprofessional. I watched her while I ordered and for half an hour while I was eating my food....non-stop messing around on her phone. She didn't know any answers to basic questions I had about the food either. She seemed stumped when I asked her what the Special K bar was. Not knowing anything about them, I was guessing it might be a rice crispy type bar with Special K corn flakes...not true though. Some basic product knowledge would be nice. Overall, this food truck is excellent. And my criticisms are minor, not a big deal. I'd eat the food again any time. I definitely need to check out the restaurant in Princeton. I looked at the full menu and it looks incredible. Thumbs up! -Maxx

I've been getting pizza barn my entire life. In the last few years prices have gone way up and…read morequality has gone down. It's still good pizza for a special occasion, and the buffet can be a great option, but it's lost what made it special. Service staff are kind and amenable, cooks don't seem to take their job seriously. On more than one occasion this year I've had to call back for replacement or refund on my order due to crusts literally being too thin to cook properly , or having holes. I miss 10 years ago pizza barn.

Finally arrived. Cold and toppings all over the place like it took a slide. So disappointed and will never order or eat here again.

New York style pepperoni. It was the special of the month.

Alpha and Omega Pizza Farm

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!

This is on the edge of "the middle of nowhere" (unless of course you're one of the fine folks that lives nearby). But disregard all of that - the service and the FOOD were both top notch! Different daily specials every day (see the picture) and the regular menu is HUGE! Hubby had a Peanut Butter and Jalapeño Jam burger - big 1/2 pounder - with fresh fries. I thought the fries were a little soggy (literally the only negative) but they were deliciously seasoned. I had a shaved beef with Au Jus. Now I know that sounds dull but it wasn't! The roll was super-soft but lightly toasted with a buttery taste and the beef (I'm told by the VERY fabulous waitress) is sliced from their weekly prime-rib special. I had it with a slide of slaw and GOOD LORD they actually know how to make excellent slaw! Again - same fabulous waitress says that the dressing is house-made. It really, REALLY was good. Add three tap beers and our lunch was a sweet $33. I wish we had an easier more frequent reason to stop because the menu has me intrigued! I definitely recommend it!

visited this establishment frequently, but after the bud light commercial came out, they pulled every anheuser-busch product claiming they are christians even though a true christian should love and except all. The pizza pub in Princeton MN and all affiliated pubs are anti LGBTQIA+. I am for one belong to that community and will never give them another penny. I am hoping that the community I live in will support the LGBTQAI+ community and boycott this anti gay establishment. How dare they cast judgement on others when they claim to be christians and own a bar. read more

We have eaten here several times. The first time we really liked the pizza. The next two times we were disappointed. Tonight we ordered online and picked up pizza dupe a fourth time. All six of our family members said it was bad. It was doughy, lacking in sauce and really tasteless. Almost like uncooked cheese sticks. Won't go back for a while. read more

We wanted to give them another try since there are limited good takeout options during the pandemic. This time (July 2020) we were pleasantly surprised. We got the large "meats" pizza special with cheese bread, using the online coupon from their website. The pizza was *loaded* with toppings. It had some serious heft to it when I picked up the box. The pizza and bread tasted great when we got home. My kids scarfed it down, and the adults enjoyed it too. Maybe the first time was a fluke, or they changed their cheese supplier, sauce spices, or pizza recipes in the past few years. But right now, this is the best pizza in the St. Cloud area, in my humble pizza-loving opinion (and having lived in Chicago for 2 decades, I know pizza!) We will definitely order again! I removed one star from the score for the fact that when I arrived to pick up the pizza, several staff, including the cashier, were not wearing face masks as recommended for all food service personnel by the Minnesota Department of Health during the COVID pandemic.
