Great Pizza. We had Lucky Chicken pizza and Blue Cheese Bacon burger pizza which was the pizza of the month. Both delicious. Mini 6 inch pizza is perfect size for one person. read more

Rafferty's Pizza - Blue cheese bacon burger pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Brainerd, Minnesota

See all

This used to be the gold standard for pizza. This was our go to spot growing up for 30 ish years. Before there was even an upstairs. Something has changed with the recipe and the crust is horrible now. I'm not sure what changed or why you changed it , but you really need to put back to the original recipes of stuff. The staff doesn't seem to even care. It's also not as clean as it used to be. Attention to detail is totally gone. So disappointing to see what it's become. read more

Have eaten here many times while passing through for work. This the first time I ordered online for delivery to the hotel. When I got my email confirmation it didn't show the all the information I entered so I called to confirm the info. The person who was very friendly and she confirmed that they had all the correct information. The person who delivered was very friendly and we exchanged some small talk and laughs. Yes, the food was good but sometimes it's more than that. Thank you for the people you are working with to make your brand and the experience better! read more

Wow, Such amazing pizza.. We are not from the area but stopped for pizza.. Excellent.. Absolutely great pizza.. We will be back.. read more

Our friends got stuck in the blizzard on the way up, but we made it through and were all alone on Christmas Eve eve. So we looked on Yelp and found this really tempting place. The hours said open till 9p, so we headed on that way. Hopefully we didn't cause them too much trouble because they were cleaning and shutting off lights at 8p (maybe thanks to weather?), but they were never anything but inviting and kind to us! The 6-inch personal size was perfect for a couple wanting to try more than one flavor without getting too heavy. The crusts were great -not too soft, but not the hard, gum-cutting monsters you get with some thin crusts. Loved the Lucky Chicken pizza. Sometimes it's nice to be reminded about how complex pizza can be and this was one of those times. The combination of sweet and savory was just what we were hoping for when we read the description. I'm glad the Cup and Char pizza was on special this month because that ranks among the favorite pepperoni pizzas I've ever had. Also the sauce was peppery, which I am a BIG fan of. Okay, we need to talk about the onion straws. Zesty and crispy were melt-in-your-mouth qualities. Salty as hell, so drink plenty of fluids ;) We might have to come back for lunch before we skip town after the Holidays! Thanks for a great experience after our plans changed! read more

Got our pizza delivered during a hotel stay. Arrived as promised and on time. Pizza was exceptional and priced well for what we received.

Raffertys always hit the spot when craving pizza! My favorite is the baked potato pizza!

We ate here tonight after a long day. It was so good! And the price for our meal was crazy good! The staff could not have been friendlier and really seemed to enjoy their workplace. It's in a strange location in a mall but do not let that sway your opinion. Delicious! Will definitely be back when I'm Brainerd. Thank you!!! read more

Good pizza and I like the thinner crust, tasty and good sauce. Wings were OK, I like them a little crunchier and the buffalo sauce a little hotter. Would order here again read more

If you like specialty pizza great place also love the half n half feature so can try two different styles

We stayed at the Three bear water park and wanted food. A local recommended Rafferty's. It was some of the best pizza I've ever had. And the wait time was less than expect. Highly recommend them! read more

Everyone who knows me knows I am a pizza fanatic. Raffertys will not disappoint. More expensive than yummy Domino's, but hey, you've stepped up your pizza game when you enter. Going out for pizza? This is a quality family pizza restaurant. Pizza with your special person. Set Google maps and drive! read more

Still the best pizza in the area hands down. Been coming here for 35 year we have never had a day pizza read more

Rafferty's Pizza - a pizza with pepperoni, olives, and peppers - Pizza Near Me - Brainerd, Minnesota

The website still lists the Brainerd location as take-and-bake however they are no longer doing take-and-bake. FALSE ADVERTISING!!!

Just moved to town a month ago and have already eaten here or gotten takeout many times. (The Fiesty Pig is my favorite!) We have lived all over the country, including L.A., and I can honestly say this is some of the best pizza I've ever had. The crust to topping ratio is perfect in my mind, and they have many unique and delicious choices. The atmosphere is great, too! read more

We return whenever in the neighborhood! The kids love it as much as we do! Actually, this review is for Crosslake, but I bet they are all great. read more

We go here every time we get close to this place. They have really good pizza for a really good price. Normally we have 5 adults and 3 kiddos with us. They have everything to meet everyone's needs and likes. Please go here and try it out. read more

I came all the way to Minnesota from Ohio to get Raffety's pizza... (Not really, but I have known about this place for a while now). And I was very excited to go! My friend, who is a local to Brainerd, said that Rafferty's was her favorite, and I can see why so! It's such a cozy family place. With two levels, there is plenty of seating inside. One cool thing that I was stoked to have here was their vegan Daiya cheese on their pizza! We got a medium pizza (about 20 dollars) with Daiya cheese, spinach, banana peppers, and zucchini, and it was great! I was very satisfied with the flavors and it was enough for dinner (and a snack later). Something that was so unique to me was the walls. All around the restaurant there are newspaper clippings of things that have happened in the past in the Brainerd-Baxter area, as well as murals of some of the history. It's so cool to be able to sit down and just look around and learn! It felt kind of like I was set back in time a little bit. Great pizza, great service, great place. read more

A taco pizza?! Had to give it a try after the cashier at Fleet Farm raved about it when the bf asked if she heard of Rafferty's. Oooh it was so good! Loved the taco chips on the top! Also got a "normal" pizza with sausage and mushrooms that was just as tasty! Will be our go to pizza place from now on when visiting his dad Brainerd. read more

Awesome pizza here!! When we think pizza we think raffertys!! They also have other items on the menu which is nice! They have a HUGE party pizza, and when I say huge, I mean it! Great for parties!! They have lots of seating and a nice atmosphere! Free wifi! You can watch as they throw your pizza in their big fire oven! Pretty cool! read more

3 of the employees we talked to were rude and careless. They forgot a whole pizza and questioned us heavily even after showing recipes 3 times. When we asked what sauces were available, we got the response, "whatever," and then received 0/4 sauces. The pizza was fine, but nothing worth the service. There is way better in the area. read more

This pizza was terrible, the only flavor was the burnt crust. We spent over $100, and could have had way better pizza from the gas station. never again. read more

Excellent service. Sausage mushroom pizza is the best I've ever had. Can't stop myself from eating the whole medium 'za--- way too darn good. Love this location-- nicer than Nisswa, more room yet cozy and classy. Good early bird specials (end at 4). Tyrone is an excellent rep for the restaurant and its owners, attentive kind hard working and (again) great service. Fantastic work as always, raffertys. Expand to the cities? Please? read more

This is probably my favorite pizza place though a little pricey but worth the cost we order two 10 inch pizzas it's best for the money the pizza I usually go for is a cheeseburger but replace the pickles with pineapple. Sitting up top is great you're surrounded by pictures of the local town from different years. read more

The pizza is excellent that is if you do not mind that your take n bake pizza was made by a kid with dirt caked under and around his fingernails. They do not wear gloves either. read more

Best pizza I've had in Brainerd and one of the best overall. Friendly service, nice atmosphere. I give it a solid 4.5 stars

Wow what can I say about Raffertys? I live out if state and eat twice in one week when I visit. I love the sauce on the pizzas. No matter who is working, the staff is always friendly! read more

I have been coming to Rafferty's ever since they first opened. I was in college and I use to go there to study and eat lunch. Some days I ate 2 meals there. This is my favorite place to eat. I still get the same pizza every time. "Rafferty's Finest"......If you only try one place to eat in the Brainerd Lakes Area, try Rafferty's Pizza. read more

Service was good. The BBQ chicken pizza was very, very spicy. It was okay, but couldn't taste it much due to the heat. Cheese pizza was good. Lots of drink choices, but not caffeine free diet. Give it a try. read more

Solid traditional family place. Lots of room. Good variety of pizza place food. My boys gobbled down tasty wings, Mac n cheese bites! and chicken tenders. Bottomless soda fountain a big plus. Hard working helpful manager keeps it moving along well too. read more

Good pizza but took almost 45 minutes for a 10" pepperoni on a Sunday at 6 pm. Is self service place.

Eating at Rafferty's in the Westgate Mall during my youth and being a local in the area this was my favorite place to eat. Nothing came close to eating a piece of Rafferty's pizza. Savory and delicious it was always on point every time you took a bite. After moving away and traveling the world about 4 or 5 times it was always on my mind. I took my wife to this restaurant 3 years ago with my parents and she absolutely loved it. Moving from Texas, we frequented the Austin, Texas area which is known to be the food and music capital of the world. My wife remember that pizza from Rafferty's and that says something. So today the 11th of June, 2016 we chose to eat at Rafferty's in the Westgate Mall. With high expectations we hoped it was going to be good, like we remembered it. So we ordered two small side salads, a small of the pizza of the month which was the cheeseburger pizza, two drinks, and a side order of sweet potato fries. The same potatoes fries came fast and they were delicious like we always remember them to be. As my wife reached for a napkin she noticed that there something moving in the parmesan cheese the sprinkler. I picked it up and nonetheless it was a fruit fly. So I quickly exchanged it with a new one from the staff. Then we got our side salads. Taking my first bite from the salad it was okay. The next bite however, I took I noticed that a fruit fly had flown out of salad I was about to eat that was on my fork. I stopped my wife from eating her salad too because I saw a fruit fly, fly out of her salad too. I took my wife's and my salads back to the manager and was given our money back. THE STAFF DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE, THEY LOOKED AND TREATED THE SITUATION AS IF IT WAS A REGULAR EVENT THERE. I am extremely disappointed. The cleanliness of the restaurant and quality of the staff, food, and overall look of the restraunt has gone down hill fast in three years. I will not recommend Rafferty's anyone anymore. Sad, sad, sad, Rafferty's used to be the best. read more
