The Santorini and Roma pizzas.

First...I have lived in Minnesota for just over two years. In all that time EVERY SINGLE PIZZA PLACE was awful. No fennel, no Italian seasonings, cheddar to mozzarella ratio way off, and the list goes on. This was my first order from Sarpino's and it will definitely not be my last. Not only was the quality and flavor of my pizza on point, the delivery was exactly on time, and the delivery person was super nice. THANK YOU for renewing my hope in good pizza being from a local place in MN.

Average pizza - 3 stars. This was my first time trying food from Sarpino's. It's pretty average pizza. I actually prefer Dominos over Sarpino's...and that's saying a lot...because I'm not thrilled with Dominos. It isn't bad and it isn't great. Pretty much all of the pizza in the Elk River area beats this place. I really wanted to try a couple of the 8 appetizers listed on the website, especially the fried ravioli and the jalapeno poppers. I was informed that none of these are available at the Otsego location because they don't have a deep fryer. Bummer. My hot Sarpino's Italian Sandwich was pretty boring. I could have done better at Jimmy Johns or Subway. I was pretty disappointed in the wimpy 1 ounce bag of chips that came with my sandwich. It should have been 3 ounces. I have a friend who owns a vending business. They call the 1 oz size "gift" or "Halloween" size bags. He doesn't sell them. And neither should Sarpino's. I got the tiramisu for dessert. It was frozen rock solid, even after a 30 minute drive home on a 90 degree day. What a letdown. Can these guys at least thaw out a couple each day so this doesn't happen again? Lazy. The woman at the counter was great. The older guy with the accent (in back) was super grumpy and bitchy when I asked him questions about the Sarpino's company (because the other employee didn't know). Bad PR, dude. There are lots of awesome pizza options in the Elk River/Otsego area. I won't be back. All-in-all I'm being generous and going with 3 stars. -Daddy Maxx Retro

Worst pizza i ever ate in my 52 years of life! Slop mess nasty ! Raw dough..the meat was missing and the taste.. old tasting ingredients. Presentation was a 1/5 Taste was 2/5 Ripoff of $36 was very injust! I only give the flavor a 2 because we ordered 2 sprites and they were cold and refreshing. Do not ever order taco pizza from this diner. Ick. We are very upset. The dough was literally raw

Best pizza eveeerr!

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.

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.

!First timers! We had a nice dinner at Aurelio's Family Italian Restaurant in Ramsey! I didn't know…read morewhat to expect on a Friday night, but at 6:30ish, there were plenty of open tables, high top, booths and standard tables available. The atmosphere was warm and inviting (totally reminded me of restaurants I would visit in the early 90s), and the service was excellent--friendly and attentive from start to finish. We started with the breadsticks, which were good but nothing out of the ordinary. My husband ordered the Aurelio's Classic Italian Sub, and wow--it was fantastic! Perfectly toasted bread, flavorful meats, a homemade italian dressing for dipping and just the right balance of toppings. Definitely a must-try! I had the fettuccine alfredo, which, unfortunately, didn't impress me. The sauce was a bit bland, and I was hoping for a little more richness...it was surprisingly very watery and the noodles undercooked. That being said, the experience overall was still great, and I'd absolutely come back--especially for that sub and the wonderful service! FOUR stars for the great vibes, great staff, and that amazing sandwich!

I grew up eating this type of pizza in the Chicagoland area and this is really the only place you…read morecan get it in Minnesota. Prepare yourself for a sweeter sauce as that is what makes it unique. I've been here many many times starting when it was a hole in wall in Roseville. I travel about a half an hour to get it now and it is worth it every time. Got a caesar salad for the first time on this visit and it was a good salad even though the dressing really didn't taste like a caesar. More vinegar and oil than creamy caesar but still good. Glad to see the place was busy as I though Covid policies would surely have done it in as a friend told me there has been a lot of restaurants at this location. Will keep coming back!
