We love The Pizza Shop! It never disappoints. We love the cheese pizza! We typically get a large pizza and split it between 2 people. So good, there are never leftovers! The pizza fries are good but we like them better when they are cooled down or the next day. Free parking lot, cash only, typically ready in 15 minutes! John is super friendly and is always nice to chat with! Love this small business and happy to support them! read more

This is a wonderful one - man operation with fabulous house created pizzas. I hope they're here forever.

Stopped in for the 1st time, the people their are very friendly and helpful. The pizza was perfect with nice size chunks of vegtables and meat. Was done when they told me it would and cook just the way I like it. Will be going back to get a pie again! Can't go wrong purchasing from THE PIZZA SHOP! Dwayne read more

I made pizzas that won the Best Pizza in the Twin Cities Reader poll 4 times. I get my pizza at The Pizza Shop in West Saint Paul. Nofrolls, just the Best flat pizza around. Tell Chopper, the owner, that Santa says hi. read more

The Pizza Shop in West Saint Paul is consistently excellent. Unlike some of those chain locations which will remain nameless, this shop delivers high quality pizza at reasonable prices. The sauce and cheese are always great and the toppings generous. The only possible downside is that they don't take credit cards. But the owner, John, just might be the hardest working guy in West Saint Paul. He is always there, working with a smile on his face. read more

He could tell I was a tad stressed and his kindness made me smile. An adorable shop and good prices. Good pizza! I can't imagine a reason not to support them! Thank you for making me smile :) read more

The Pizza Shop - THE HOUSE PIZZA!!! - Pizza Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I've been looking for a pizza shop after my favorite pizza restaurant closed unexpectedly. I ordered a "super" pizza, which equates to a supreme at other places (pepperoni, sausage, onion, bell pepper, mushroom, green/black olives). The toppings were plentiful and the sauce was good, but the crust was mediocre. I ordered this pizza 3 minutes after they opened on a Friday evening, but had to wait 90 minutes for it to be ready. So either this place is incredibly popular, or it takes a while to preheat the pizza ovens! There is no on site dining (takeout only), and they are a cash only establishment. I'd probably order from them again, but the long wait could be a deterrent & the cash only is a nuisance. read more

The people were friendly, if you like your crust tasting like cardboard and like a ton of cheese on your pizza then this place is the right spot for you I will not be going back there because I don't like cardboard crust and I don't like like add cheese on my pizza and their sausage wasn't really that good and their pepperoni was not to my liking and the only reason I'm giving him three stars is because of the friendly people that work there. That's only reason that they get three stars for me, but everything else was one star. read more

Great pizza. Uses all real ingredients, unlike most of the places around here. Doesn't have a ton of grease on it.! I love it and going there for more than 20 years. Very nice owner and operator, he'll work with you. Only thing else that I can say go in and try it. read more

Lord, where to start? If you are one of those "I ain't reading no stupid long review" types, I will just simply put it: this place is amazing. Now, for those of you who want the details, let me start at the beginning. Yesterday evening was my niece's first birthday party, and my sister ordered three pizzas from here. She raved about it, and we were pumped. My brother in law went to pick them up, and forgot that this place is cash only. He was about to head to the gas station across the street to grab cash, but the gas station was closed due to riots in our city. The cashier told him not to worry, and to just pay him next time. Like, what? Who even does that? I mean, that is trust, that is great service, that is the kind of person I will give my business to. Now, the pizza itself. It has a delicious thin crust, with just the right amount of sauce, and piled HIGH with mozzarella cheese. This pizza is not for the faint of heart! It is the real deal. It is so good, I will be driving 20 or so minutes from my house to this establishment this evening to pick up a pizza for dinner because I just can't stop thinking about it. In the age of chain pizza restaurants and cardboard crusts, give this delicious little hole in the wall your business instead- you will not be sorry! read more

My son and I hit a Lebanon Hills Regional Park camping trip and needed a unique spot for pizza as we are from the south suburbs. Found The Pizza Shop on Yelp and tried it. We put in an order - cash only, heads up - and waited outside the shop for 45 minutes which was exactly the time she told us. Crisp crust and delicious sauce and heaping toppings! We ordered large House special and was amazing. Will return and have told many south suburb friends. Thanks West St. Paul for sharing this place with us. read more

The Pizza Shop - Pepperoni and sausage - Pizza Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Love this spot!! When I went the first time I didn't realize it was cash only, when I got up to the window they told me to just take the pizza and come back with cash another time!! I ended up having some cash in my car and was able to cover it but they were so nice about it. Best place in WSP! read more

What is it about square sliced pizza?! I can't decide if my favorite is an outside triangle or a small cheesy square. Guess I will have to keep trying them to figure it out. This place is awesome. The whole family will be happy. Come hungry and with cash! read more

The pizza here is quite good. You get a lot of cheese and toppings, and the pricing is fair for what you get. They do have premade pizzas for take and bake in a few varieties, and those have been good as well, in my experience. They are super friendly here. I would highly recommend. I was astounded to see a chain pizza place down the street from here, and I always wonder who goes there instead of here? read more

We love the Pizza Shop - it is a staple in our house! Excellent pizza & friendly staff.

I hate to rip on a small, local business, but I just did not like their pizza. The sausage tasted more like hamburger, no spice, and they use canned mushrooms. It was cash only. And the door was locked, so you had to wait for the guy (friendly) to see you. They don't deliver. However, plenty of cheese (although not on edges), decent crust, and reasonable prices. read more

The pizza and pizza fries are simply outstanding . I have been ordering pizzas for many years here and it's always consistently good . The owner is a stand up guy who truly knows what a neighborhood pizza place should be . His customer service is second to none and he always supports his community . Keep up the great work ! read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for 14 years. Why haven't I tried this pizza place yet? I should have! This is a small owner operated take out pizzeria that is producing authentic Italian pizzas. This Italian knows a good pie when he gets one. Being a small one man shop he only offers take out a cash basis. But don't let that keep you away. Order ahead, hit up a cash machine, and get yourself some excellent pizza! read more

Great pizza and great service. The owner is also a big supporter of community events and charities! Large sausage and mushroom, half banana peppers please... ;) read more

The most incredible pizza. Fresh ingredients, they don't skimp on the cheese. Owner is a wonderfully friendly guy. I live in California now, but getting this pizza is a must-have on my list each time I visit Minnesota. read more

This place has the best pizza fries we have eaten ever! The garlic flavor, the cheesiest and great crust. The side of sauce which is so tasty. The following day we had a few strips left and they were just as yummy reheated. You have got to try this place. The pizza here is delicious as well. Worth going too! read more

This pizza place is great. Always friendly! The pizza is good, and the frozen to go pizzas are great! I'll give this man my business for as long as I live in this area. read more

If you want pizza with a sweet tangy sauce and cheesy deliciousness then this is the place to get it! After living in wsp for several years I finally stopped by. I ordered the large pizza and small pizza fries which was far more food than we needed but it proved to be just as tasty the next day heated in the oven. Next time I'll order the pizza fries with extra sauce because my dipping etiquette doesn't frown on double or triple dipping. Bring cash and be nice! This is a family owned business and your pizza is made with pizza-making-pride by the owner. read more

Cash only but well worth it. Small family owned shop who greats every customer with a smile. They seem truly glad to have your business. Delicious pizza and for fun try the pizza fries. read more

I've ordered a pie for pick up here 1 time. I will never order from here again. Yes it's this quaint little neighborhood pizzeria. Yes they have a car show on Thursday evening. All fine and dandy BUT..... The 1 time I ordered from here I was told 30 minutes to pick up a pie. A little slow; but whatever right? Showed up 30 minutes later and my food wasn't even in the oven . I sat there for another 20 minutes waiting while the owner chatted with all of his buddies from the neighborhood , and the person answering the phones just sat there like a bump on a log waiting for the phone to ring, didn't even pretend to try helping with production. Long story short I was basically ignored by the owner of this place while I waited for 50 minutes for a medium pizza. read more

Best pizza place in town. Love it's a local owner and not a chain. Stop in a few minutes before your pie is ready and talk to the owner. Its great to see local businesses thrive. Always friendly and delicious! Branch out & get a cheeseburger pizza. Pickles on pizza didn't sound good till I tried it. They even have a freshly frozen section they make in house for when the weather is frightful. So glad I found this place! read more

CASH ONLY. That said, worth it. Super cheesy, great sauce, quality toppings. Might be the best pizza around in a 60 mile radius

Seems I eat here about once a week. The pizza is the best I've had in this area. Good sauce, crisp crust and lots of fresh cheese.

Awesome owner and great simple Midwest crispy thin crust pizza . They only take cash and wait times can take awhile longer than what was said over the phone. . Be patient it's definitely worth it ! read more

WONDERFUL!!!!! I ordered this pizza on reccomendation from a friend. If you live in the area or are driving through, it is a must! Just like other reviews state, the sauce is fresh and tasty. All the toppings are fresh and lots of cheese. YUMMY read more

The very best pizza ever!!!! I have lived in Chicago, Denver, Phoenix/Scottsdale, St. paul/Mpls. Just moved from Phoenix back to St. Paul. I could not wait to order the Pizza Shop again. It's fabulous!! Their pizza comprises the very best of homemade sauce, fresh cheese, fresh ingredients and baked to perfection. Beats "chi town" pizza any day. Once you try Pizza Shop; you will be addicted !! read more

Today when I came in , I was sad and feeling down . By the time I ate my first square , I had a smile the size of sunshine . The pizza is delicious , the service is amazing and the genuine love of the customer is what keeps me coming back . Thank you for turning my frown upside down !! read more

Amazing service, the owner is super nice and very friendly. The pizza is amazing and the pizza fries are delicious. I would absolutely recommend this place. read more

I have come here 4+ times and stopped once for the Thursday car and motorcycle show (when they even have a special just for the evening). My favorite pizza is the "Super" in any size. Chopper's pizzas at the Pizza Shop are actually better than Savoy's in my opinion. I love that he is local to West St Paul having grown up here. I love the food and I just feel so welcome everytime I come. read more
