Came up to see Duluth and ended up here for dinner and craft beer. We loved it! The place has a fun vibe; it's an old train statio. The pizza is fabulous and the beer was great. We ordered ranch for dipping which is made in-house and is worth the trip alone! We had great service. We will definitely make this as one of our 'Duluth' spots! read more

Awesome selection of microbrews, pizza was absolutely delicious and the wait staff/cook went above and beyond for service. Highly recommend.

Great pizza and decent beer. Having the band not playing super loud made it an enjoyable experience.

I always come here when I go to Duluth or the north shore!!! The piiiizzzzaaaaaa!!! I'm craving it now!! The place is inside an old train depot so the atmosphere is neat, and love the live music! Love the beers! read more

It's so nice to be back at the pagan. I'm a New Yorker so I don't take to mediocre pizza. The pagan pizza caters to my high standards while still keeping v midwestern with the flavors. And they have beer too! It's good. The last time I was here it was back in 15 and they were at the smaller old location. read more

Very good pizza. It's a thicker crust, but it works and is very tasty. Wait staff was fast and friendly. It's in an old train depot and you can still see how it was used as such. read more

Man I wanted to lover this place. I really did. I've probably over hyped myself as I've had their beers around the twin cities and have heard all sorts of good things but.... So I did a flight of sours and they were pretty tasty and were good for that moment. I'm kind of a sour beer fiend and while they were good, I didn't leave with any. I did grab a growler of the Saison but overall, nothing was really freaking me out. If I didn't want to fill an empty growler to share, I would've been ok with leaving with no beer, which is kind of a weird thing for me to write. People have always said, you gotta try the pizza. Like the saying goes, when in Superior, WI..... So a straight up sausage and onion is my benchmark whenever I try a new pizza. It's simple and I've had a lot of pizza to compare it against so it is kind of my old faithful, And you know what? I don't need to have their sausage onion again. Sauce was ok. Crust was ok. It was all just ok. I think I need to try one of their specialty za's as that pesto one sounds really good. Will I be back? Definitely. Their beer menu is always changing so you'll never know what's on tap and the place has a great feel to it. It is accommodating to large groups or a single dude like myself which is nice. read more

Stopped in the Duluth area and found this place in Superior. Great beer and awesome appetizer. Loved this place so much that we stopped here again before heading back to the Cities. Ordered the same flight of beers and ordered a TPB pizza. Seriously one of the best pizzas I have had in a long time. Awesome service and great atmosphere plus they play great choices in music. read more

Great pizza, great service, great beer. Plus a cool vibe. Try the special, cucumber sriracha pizza. Sounds weird but it's amazing. read more

Thirsty Pagan Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Superior, Wisconsin

Thirsty Pagan has been my family's favorite local pizza restaurant for at least 15 years. Everything on the menu that we've ever tried has been absolutely phenomenal. I see a lot of people on here have been complaining about the price and wait time. If you're looking for cheap and fast pizza, go to Little Caesar's and pick up a crappy hot and ready. People have forgotten about what going to an actual restaurant looks like. I promise the 45 minutes are worth the wait for a quality pie. The big pizzas cost $42, but I think considering the craft, quality, and sheer amount of food you get, it's really not that bad. The 18 inch can easily feed AT LEAST 3 people, so that's about $15 a person, the same cost for a meal as anywhere else. This pizza is so unique because they're big, thick, messy slices, like Detroit/Chicago style. If you're into thin crust, this probably isn't your scene. I recommend this place to any of our friends who visit the area. You can't stop in the Twin Ports without checking this place out!! read more

Thirsty Thursday, perfect place to stop for a beer and live relaxing entertainment. Staff is very nice and friendly. The food review will have to wait for another day. read more

I gave them 2 stars for the food, it was good but the place is so noisy it was difficult to have a conversation at our table. We found this at the original location and tried the new location in Superior and found the same issue. They really need some soft surfaces to muffle the sounds of chairs dragging across the floor and conversations at other tables. They also charge a $1.00 "convenience" fee to pay by debit or credit card. We won't be back. read more

The calzones, pizza and cheese bread were amazing. The crust was just right and so tasty! read more

+ excellent beer flights: 9 beers in each with 2 options (specials and classics) + excellent pizza: we got the sweet potato special, it was very tasty. We also got a hot pretzel that was yummy (read covered in butter and beer mustard) - extremely questionable handling of a customer service situation by the staff manager read more

Thirsty Pagan Brewing - Apparently this place is the 'gem', these are the flights @ $12 & $15 each flight - Breweries Near Me - Superior, Wisconsin

Ordered a cauliflower crust pizza and a large TPB. When I ordered, I requested that the Cauliflower crust not be burned as the last time we ordered it, but it was burnt and when they gave us the sauce it was cold. (The Cauliflower crust comes with sauce on the side.) The TPB did not have toppings up to the crust and also had very little sauce on it and the dough was way thicker than usual. We were also told it would be 30 minutes but ended up being 45 minutes. Not impressed with this last visit. read more

Fantastic beer and pizza!!! Always go when I'm the area. Love the location , great service too.

Fantastic all around. Top notch service and food! The ale is exceptional. We had an absolutely wonderful dinner, and on our way out we lingered in the parking lot to listen to the live music. We selected this place originally because they have a dog friendly patio, we went back with friends a second time because everything was amazing and we knew our friends would love it. Our server Justin was fabulous, as was Sam who was helping out during the busy dinner rush. Our new favorite place to go when we are up north. read more

the addition of 'hollow grounds" coffee out front is a great accompaniment to this place. besides their own delicious food, jen & her coffee make it a perfect one stop shop. read more

Great beer and nice servers, who recommended another brewpub on the next block, which was also great and had a nice beer garden, which I prefer no matter how cold it is these days. I was at the Pagan during midday on a Friday so it was pretty empty at least. It is in an old Soo Line station, but it's a working line so I got to see several trains pass by just a few feet away. I didn't eat but the pizza is recommended. read more

The great atmosphere and entertainment. Always a different local group performing while you enjoy some great food.

The Reuben Rolls are a must, we order them every time we go!! Pizza Diane is awesome as well, great people, great food

After walking around all day I happened upon this place and had myself a brew or two. I met two of the brewers and we traded brewery stickers then got down to business discussing what there favorite ales were in this establishment. I had a really good IPA followed by a Burnt Black which very good. I had a pizza to go and and it was pretty decent, but not the best I ever had. I would definitely return to Thirsty Pagan next time I'm out this way! read more

I tried the place on June 8 right after they opened at their new location. The pizza crust was dense and seemed undercooked. Perhaps it didn't rise enough. The toppings on the veggie pizza were not evenly distributed with some slices with a deep bed of onions and others with hardly any. I've eaten here before and loved the pizza - one of my favorites in the Twin Ports. I'll give them another shot once they've settled into their new location. Perhaps they're still adjusting to the new ovens and perhaps new cooks. But some quality control is needed at the new place. read more

This place is GREAT! Stopped here for dinner with a group of friends while we were in Duluth and were blown away with what we found! We were hoping for a place where we could get some good pizza, a good beer, and listen to some live music.....all of them were fulfilled beyond expectations! The pizza was superb! They had the traditional selections, of course, but also some original combinations that were really good! The beer selection was stacked too! Lots of home-brewed selections to chose --- from light to dark, everyone can find something to like. Next time traveling to/through Duluth, make a point to cross into WI and find the Pagan! You won't be disappointed. read more

Soft opening Fail! Bar was not busy Sat at the bar for 5 minutes Bartenders were right in front of us 6-7 times Not a word Ended up leaving without being spoken to Host seemed overwhelmed Wasn't even that busy, hmmm... read more

Great place, easy to find (even at night) and most importantly really good pizza!! The sauce is definitely unique which here in the northland is HARD to find since I swear the native population here thinks ketchup is spicy. I will be back to Thirsty Pagan in the future for sure! read more

Welcome to Superior, and Superior brewery this place is. If you find the line to the nearby Anchor Bar is too long, or you want a nice pre or post game beer, stop by and drink with the Thirsty Pagan. And their pizzas are quite good. I was pleasantly surprised at my visit here. It's a friendly environment with cool retro signs from this old creamery building. I liked the "pin-up" old timey pics in the men's room too. The BLT Pizza was great. Served in a steel pan, and great for sharing, and tasted great as leftovers the next day. They offer a great beer flight with a cool curved/arc serving tray board. They also have sours. My tasting notes are below: North Coast Amber - solid and tasty amber Derailed ale - their most famous brew is pretty solid. Burnt wood Black Ale - smokey, and pretty good, has some interesting complexity India Pagan Ale - pretty solid IPA Ledgers Pale Ale - tasty pale White Winter Winery Hard Cyder - for those cider lovers, enjoy Black Spruce - has a forest/woody taste Hand Pump Burntwood Black - nice and smooth read more

This is my go-to place for great pizza and beer. My favorite pizza in the Duluth/Superior area

Stopped by here for a quick bite to eat when we were in Duluth - great pizza, great beer and somewhat slow service. We had a wonderful time enjoying the delicious food and all the unique beers. A friend and I split the Chicken Alfredo Pizza and a flight of seasonal beers. The pizza was topped with red peppers, broccoli, spinach, chicken breast & homemade Alfredo sauce. All the fresh vegetables and the deliciously light Alfredo sauce made this a wonderful variation of deep dish pizza. It was perfectly filling but not too overwhelming and coma-inducing. The seasonal tasting flight was really fun with a huge variety of beers, from bourbon barrel blends to sours to pale ales. We used the pizza as a palate cleanser and had a great time tasting all the different brews. Totally worth driving all the way to Wisconsin for ;) read more

Dude, the 4.5 Yelp rating is no lie. Thirsty Pagan Brewing would rank just as high in any city, anywhere in the world and at an extraordinarily low cost. Man oh man" this place is special. Duluth/Superior is emerging as a micro-brewing enclave along Lake Superior, that's for sure. Thirsty Pagan Brewing is a super cool option, well worth the drive across the Bridge from Duluth. Two large pizzas (4 of us ate half of them) and three beers cost $75.00 + tip. Wow. The Stuffed mushrooms in cheese appetizer is the stuff of gourmet supper club wet dreams, beers original and exotic and the pizzas brain burning. All I can say is wow and congrats to this middle of nowhere slice of garlic and red pepper heaven. I had the TPB pizza and it was radically delicious. The service was slow and worth the relatively long wait. Come ready to drink a beer and a half before the food arrives. This place is a don't-miss original. read more

Felt very comfortable with their COVID safety. Nice outdoor area and very spaced out inside. Had the stuffed mushrooms, which were delicious and garlicky. For pizza we had the sun dried tomato and spinach, which we loved. Their pizzas are kind of a homemade, deep dish style with tons of flavor and fresh ingredients. Craft beers made in house are great too. We'll visit every time we travel here read more

We went to Thirsty Pagan looking forward to deep-dish pizza and great beer. The pizza was not what I would call deep-dish. It was served in a deep-dish pan. The pizza was slightly over baked and wasn't anything other than an average deluxe pizza. I needs to order a side of sauce since there wasn't very much on our pie. The beer was great! Live entertainment was good. This was a lively local spot with good service and cool vintage beer signs. We would come back fit the beer and entertainment. read more

Hipsters make good beer and are good business people. The ruben roll sandwich is delicious. They garbanzo bean appetizer is weird .... not recommended. Nice beer. Funky atmos. I think with music at night it will rock. My pizza was okay - good toppings but dough was flat and life less. Strange area of town - like old industry. read more

Some of the best pizza in Duluth, and fine, fine beer as well. They always have a sour beer going on, which is delicious and rare in these parts! They have live music almost every night, usually a dude or a few with guitars. It's grand but can be a bit loud for conversation. I've always had consistently good food and service dining or drinking here. read more

Yelp says they are closed today, but we got a text this morning with a coupon for $3 off pizza and we came on down. They are indeed open! Tried the veggie deep dish for the first time, which is pretty tasty. It could be cooked a little crispier. Still wishing for organic ingredients! That would make any eating out experience better. It's easy! Try it Thirsty Pagan! See you next time. :-) read more
