Having heard about this place for a long time, I had to get in before they close for good on Friday. The pizza was excellent of course, and the sweet potatoes as well. But the venue is very cool, with lots of community type tables. It seems very odd that such a popular, quality restaurant is closing, but there are lots of rumors around this, mostly about the landlord jacking up the rent to a ridiculous amount, and wanting to sell the building. But there has also been press in the past about the owner closing another restaurant possibly in order to avoid unionization of the employees. Who knows what's really going on. But what are they going to do with the big copper pizza oven and all the other installations? read more

I knew that I had to come because the Korean Chef was crowned a James Beard award. So, I had fairly high expectations coming in. When my friend and I walked in, we came into a fairly spacious dimly lit space with loads of people inside. We were immediately informed that there would be over 1.5hr wait for a walk-in table. We were given the option to wait for bar seating as it would probably be quicker - and surely, it was. We did have to wait quite a bit, but it was a tolerable amount of time and definitely less than what it would have taken for an actual table. My friend and I decided to share 2 pizza pies as we wanted to get a taste of two different flavors, so we eventually settled on Korean BBQ & Perfect Pickle Pie. KOREAN BBQ As it was created by a Korean chef, it definitely had true authentic Korean flavors. As a Korean myself, I was very familiar with this soy vinaigrette and have tried this on many salad before - so, it was hitting home for me. Also, you can't go wrong with the bulgogi/beef short ribs known to all those who had Korean BBQ before. The combination of the sauces that they use for this pizza is definitely very rich, full of umami. I personally enjoyed it. PERFECT PICKLE PIE This pie was a totally different flavor to the Korean BBQ. It's less rich and maybe can be overpowered or considered more bland compared to other pizza flavors. But when tried together with the BBQ, it balances out the richness of the BBQ with the more subtle/less umami flavors. This pie gives more of a tangy/sour taste that pickles provide and more of a crunch due to the chips that are added on top. The dill is present, but not overpowering. It's a nice low-key kind of taste that people who like pickles will enjoy. Overall, the flavors were very rich in every pizza pie that we had that our mouths were bursting with flavor. It was definitely the most unique pizza toppings that I've had and can see why it's so highly regarded. I can tell that they really are meticulous with their every process and that their pizza guy by the wood fire oven is expertise in what he does. My friend and I walked out quite satisfied and I was honestly more full than I expected. read more

We were in MN for 2 nights and someone highly recommended Young Joni. I am so happy we made the 20 min drive and took a chance since we did not have a reservation. As soon as we arrived, they offered the community table which was perfect. I have been raving about the food since we left. The flavor profiles of everything were simply amazing. Every dish felt like an over achiever. Even the gem salad. We had the prawns which are not to miss and the thai sausage. The korean bbq pizza lived up to the hype. Really sad to hear this place is closing. I just hope the chef comes to LA one day! read more

I'm so sad when I heard this place was closing so I HAD to get here one last time to enjoy the amazing pizza! The restaurant wasn't super busy when we arrived but def was packed when we left. I love the moodiness of the place and the staff has always been super pleasant. I ordered the perfect pickle pie for my last YJ meal. This place is going to be missed so much and there is going to be a huge whole in my stomach missing. I really do hope we see a reboot somewhere else! Thanks again for providing wonderful food and service all these years read more

Had to revisit this Minneapolis icon before they close next month Started with the Ischia spritz which was refreshing and light on the alcohol Then we shared the trio of fermented kimchi-yummy but prob best paired with something else We shared 2 pizzas-the perfect pickle pie and the Korean bbq I was blown away by the pickle pizza- totally out of my comfort zone as I'm not a real fan of pickles but this was packed full of flavor The Korean bbq is also great but can taste a little to sweet for me at times Great atmosphere, service was good and decent price point read more

I'm so mad I waited so long to check out Young Joni & now they are closing. *sadface* I've always heard really good things about YJ but also how it's hard to get reservations here. We were able to get a reservation for 4 on a Tuesday night. When we arrived and checked in we were sat right away. I loved the rustic modern decor and how the kitchen area was open to the restaurant. It was a bit warm the whole time we were there, probably my only "complaint". We ordered drinks- I got the litchiquiri- which was good. For apps we got the chicken wings and the Korean sweet potato's. Both were excellent choices, very flavorful. For our meal we ordered 2 pizzas the Cacio e Pepe & Perfect Pickle. Both pizzas were great. The pickle pizza was my favorite of the two. Everything was so good. I'm sad that was the last time I'll dine here but also happy that I got to experience it & with great company! Staff were very nice and attentive. I feel like they were there to refill our water after every sip. We were even given tickets to check out the Photo Booth. Best wishes to the staff! read more

I was so sad to hear the this place is closing soon! I knew I had to come check it out! So my boyfriend and I made reservations for date night! I highly recommend you get reservations or you are not getting into this place! It is very busy, but for good reason! There is free street parking all along this area. It didn't take us long to find parking. The vibe here is modern, fresh and cool! They definitely did a great job with the decor! The host was very friendly. Our server Alex was also great! Very upbeat and a pleasure to have as a server! We decided to get drinks. My boyfriend got a beer, which he noted was very good! I got the "black mojito" It notes in the ingredient list that it has squid ink, but my drink came looking like a regular mojito... it was still tasty but not worth the money. The pizza: The crust here is really what strals the show! These are wood fired pizzas! The crust is crisp but also chewy! Sooo good! We got the Korean BBQ and the umami mushroom pizza with added sausage! I didn't care for the Korean BBQ because of the vinaigrette, but I don't like vinaigrettes, so don't let that sway you! my boyfriend did really like this pizza! I LOVED the mushroom pizza with the added sausage! Unique and so tasty!! I would recommend that for sure! Overall, if you get a chance to go check this place out, I would! read more

Our experience is from ordering via DoorDash to be delivered to Blaine-area. We have heard great things about Young Joni and wanted to give it a try. However, in-person would have been better. We ordered the My Sha-Roni pizza, which was $27.50 before all of the service fees. To our surprise, the pizza was smaller than we expected... it is 12" in diameter. I don't think it was indicated on the DoorDash app on the size of the pizza so when two hungry adults need dinner, one pizza was not enough. If we were there in-person, I'd like to try other things as well. My husband is reluctant to try this place again after seeing the size of the pizza and that it was $27.50. I would rather support a local business--especially wood-fired pizza than order from places like Domino's. I would also have like to go here in-person. read more

Young Joni - My Sha-Roni - Pizza Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Went for the Mother's Day buffet thanks to the promise of oysters, shakshuka, and prime rib. The atmosphere is really nice. Friendly staff, good amount of service touches, and great coffee. The setup is relatively minimal without a ton of options and a only a single bar. It was well kept up and fresh with solid communication between front and back of house. Pizza is made to order plus the full menu is available and included, whitch was very nice. I recommend have a few people to split since they only do a whole pie per table. Going down the line: - Salads: These were probably my favorite part of the buffet. The caesar was solid with savory chicory, salty parmesan, and light house croutons. There was a nice mix of bitter endive, crisp radicchio, and rich egg. The Gem Lettuce Salad was amazing. Bright and refreshing with the radish, cucumber, and very dill-forward. The breadcrumbs were great texture and the various sizes of lettuce kept it really interesting. - Cauliflower was good but a but soggy. I feel it could have benefitted from larger florets to stand up to all the oil. - Eggs sure were eggs. Not too hard but given all the creme fraiche I thought they'd be silkier. Potatoes were really tasty and tender. Also pretty down the middle. - Shakshuka was nice and bright with perfectly poached eggs. There was a bit more oil than I prefer but was great with the fresh pita (aka plain pizza dough). I just with they'd had small bowls for serving/dipping instead of on the plate. - Oysters were fantastically brine-y. Only complaint is they were kind of small, but is AYCE so what do you want? - Prime rib was ok. The outer band was much more done and way saltier than the center cut. They also had someone who had never carved meat before working the station which resulted in some people getting slivers and some getting a 10oz steak. - Desserts were fine. The cookies weren't soft and the bars were decent. I appreciated how dark the chocolate on was on that bar. The parfait looked fantastic but I didn't have the stomach space for it. Overall I don't think I'd do it again given the price, but if you have a table to split some of the more expensive pizzas could be nice. You're mainly paying a premium to eat at an Ann Kim spot. read more

Ordered: Kimchi Trio (~$13) Korean Sweet Potatoes (~$16): pickled fresno, gochugaru, bonito, charred scallion crème fraîche Grilled Chicken Wings (~$19): with salsa macha, cilantro, lime Korean BBQ Pizza (~$27): beef short rib, mozzarella, scallion, arugula, sesame, soy-chili vinaigrette Seasonal Soft Serve Ice Cream (~$10): banana flavor with vanilla swirl Aya's take: If you're reading this and get inspired, go quick because they are closing their doors on September 14! We had a late dinner reservation yet it took over 30 minutes for them to seat us because the party before us hadn't gotten up yet. 1) The staff didn't do a good job at keeping the party before us on time and 2) The staff didn't even acknowledge it when we did finally sit down. They could have offered drinks or an appetizer on the house for the inconvenience. We weren't super hungry but decided to grab a few items. The appetizers we got were solid and great for sharing; I would recommend the Grilled Chicken Wings of the 3. Super juicy and great grill char on the outside. The big winner was The Korean BBQ Pizza. It was both sweet and savory, the pizza dough was fantastic (and this is coming from a New Yorker!), and the arugula on top gave it that nice freshness. Very cool spot; I just wish they handled our reservation better. read more

Not much hasn't been said. We've been here multiple times. With family of 5, with just 2 of us on dates, with other couples, and with groups of friends. Food: Consistently good. Pizzas are fresh, the crust is amazing, and sides are always tasty. I usually get some kind of vegetables, sides, and/or salads along with the pizzas. Not too salty, not too bland. Drinks are good. Prices are of course on the higher side for pizza, but it's good pizza :) Service: Service has been friendly and quick. Sometimes we've felt a bit rushed, especially when the place is packed... as it often is. Reservations highly recommended. Ambience: Very vibey, modern, open space concept. Always wish they had an outdoor seating option or cute patio for the summers. But get that the space is the space ... for indoor space, it's open and buzzy. The only con is it's hard to get reservations, so be sure to check and grab your date when you want to go. And they may/may not still have their 1.5 hour or something like that (can't remember exactly how long) dining limit. A bit rushed for larger groups maybe. read more

So sad to hear this spot is closing! They have amazing food-- especially the pizza. Very delicious ! Hardest part is getting a reservation and with the upcoming closure, it might be nearly impossible to get anything unless you walk in. Korean bbq pizza is amazing ! So it the umami and the chicken wings! Can't go wrong with any selection ! Ambiance is crowded, but nice ! read more

Such a cute restaurant and so sad they are closing. We had the korean bbq pizza and the pickle pie. Both were really good. We also had the vanilla soft serve ice cream with olive oil and fleur de sel. All of the food was incredible! My one critique was the temperature. We went on a 90 degree day and the restaurant was extremely hot. It was not just us, the people sitting on both sides of us were also very hot. This place will definitely be missed. May have to try and sneak in one more visit before they close! read more

Young Joni came to my husband and I as a recommendation from my cousin who lives in the area. This is a great pizza restaurant. It has a really fun atmosphere. I love that there is a photo booth in the back of the restaurant. We started with the PEI mussels. They were served in a chili-tomato broth which added a great flavor. This was a great start to the meal. We were hungry so we ordered the Perfect Pickle Pie, Margherita, La Parisienne, and Korean BBQ pizzas. Each pizza was better than the last. They were made fresh to order with aromatic ingredients. With this success rate, I'm sure that the other pizzas are great too! I highly recommend Young Joni! read more

Can't get enough of this place My sis and I went for Ann Kim's New Year's Eve dinner and it was delicious! 7 courses of off menu Korean food. So good and really fun to try different stuff from her. The courses were really well timed, the ambiance as usual was great. Fun service, we got to speak with Ann and some of the chefs too. Made for a nice chill evening with great food. Somehow I also managed to snag the last parking spot in the lot which was a huge bonus! We've been to a few of her pre set dinner events and they're always delicious ! read more

Always a good time when I come in! Went to both the restaurant and back bar and personally loved the bulgogi pizza. There was a good attention to taste of the pizza which is delicious!! Also thought this soft serve platter was awesome! I remember loving the pina colada drink at the back bar but now the menu has been changed to bartender curated drinks. I thought the menu was really cool and shows an enthusiastic team of people working together-- especially with those baseball photo shoots as part of the menu I thought that was hilarious!! Also, they have a photobooth in the restaurant lice which really added to the ambience! read more

I think this place was over hyped for me. The fact that I could never get a reservation and people raved about it made my expectations go through the roof...which may be why my experience was disappointing. When we arrived, we were happy to find a feee parking lot! Walking inside, the ambiance was really nice!! For appetizers - we Tried the califlower and kimchi. We didn't see our server for a long time after we placed our app order. Someone dropped off our kimchi but no cauliflower. When our server finally came, I asked about the cauliflower and she said abruptly (Rudely) replied 'I put the order in!' She could have said 'it will be here in just a minute' or 'let me check on that' but she must have been having a bad day! We Didn't like the kimchi. Ive ordered kimchi at another restaurant and loved it so I was excited to sample three different types, but didn't like any of them. Our Cauliflower was really good. Kind of a small portion for the price IMO. I wish our server would have recommended stirring it up before we ate it because the first bites were bland but then we discovered a sauce at the bottom of the bowl that was delicious. I ordered the Korean BBQ pizza and it was pretty good. They offer Such interesting pizza choices! Wish I could have ordered by the slice to try a bunch of them! My husband had the wings and thought they were great. We shared the ice cream with olive oil/sea salt. I'd probably ask for a little less salt next time but the olive oil/ice cream was strangely delicious! It was our anniversary but they don't do anything special for that. We purchased a ticket for the Picture machine but it was broken so we didn't get a pic and didn't get our money back either. I would recommend this place to someone who loves interesting pizza flavors and a nice ambiance. read more

Excellent experience! We had the Almafi Coast pizza, the cauliflower appetizer and the grilled wings. The Almafi coast pizza was OK. It could've had a little more flavor. But the cauliflower made up for everything. The yogurt base and the spices on it were so delectable. The drinks were good. I asked the bartender to be creative and put a spin on a Cosmo and she was wonderful. Tip: make your reservation WELL IN ADVANCE! We tried for a week to reserve and it was full for a Wednesday night at 5pm. The speakeasy in the back was cute and wish we would've been able to sit back there but we took the bar. Cool atmosphere. 4.5/5 read more

I would come back here any day, any time.. whenever, whatever, forever! We went here on a Sunday afternoon.. had just had a little tiny brunch with a few bloody marys prior and had wanted something a little more substantial before we embarked on our day.. and Young Joni just so happened to be right there. We parked right out front and the entrance is... a vibe. A nice host was standing at the front and we decided to sit at the bar in the middle of the restaurant. The bartender was super cool, easy to talk to, accommodating, didn't make it awkward, didn't pressure.. just all in all good energy and very helpful. We order a kimchi bloody mary with a sidecar.. which is exactly what it was! It was so good and fresh and just went down easily. We started with the wings.. they were nice and crispy and were mixed with almost a peri peri sauce and had a nice little fresh side of some green sauce (no idea what it was but it was good af). We also got the juk which was not exactly what i was expected but it was comforting, meaty, substantial, and savory! Would definitely order that again. Then, the final item we ordered was tavern pie... my gosh... that was so perfect. The crust was crunchy and had the most beautiful flavor profile, the balance of the heat and the sweet was amazing with the most perfectly balanced red sauce.. not too much cheese, it really allowed the rest of the ingredients to speak for itself. Just all in all a great experience, will be back! read more

I recently visited Minneapolis for a short vacation with family and Young Joni was our favorite meal. My sibling still talks about the grilled cabbage with mustard-miso dressing, garlic, ginger and Thai basil. He also loved the creativity of the kimchi trio, and getting to try different versions beyond the more ubiquitous red one. We've both been inspired by that cabbage and have been trying to (unsuccessfully) replicate its recipe at home. We split the Umami Mama pizza, a very rich and tasty blend of shiitake and other mushrooms, as well as my fave stinky tallegio, fontina, and parm. We also ordered the grilled branzino, which blew us away; it was perfectly cooked, with a crispy skin, and seasoned with lemongrass, lime leaf and coconut oil. With just the two (2) of us ordering all the above, you'd think we skip dessert. But when we heard the cobbler of the day was "rhubarb", we feel obligated to order it, with a side of vanilla soft serve. It was brown and crusty, with the tart rhubarb perfectly balancing out the overall sweetness. Young Joni's space was warm and inviting, with the whole space buzzing with happy diners and attentive, authentic servers. Afterwards, we also happily buzzed the entirety of the long walk back to our downtown hotel, after such a satisfying experience. read more

Highly recommend making a reservation because they are always pretty booked! We had been hearing Young Joni is amazing but never think far ahead in advance to make a reservation and it's usually booked day of. It is a stunning restaurant with beautiful accents. You can tell everything was chosen and placed with care! Soo glad we finally made it! Staff were super attentive, very kind, and super helpful! I am a very plain Jane when it comes to pizza so I just got a pepperoni pizza (old reliable + pepperoni) but my husband ordered the Basque. Both were so well made, tasted so fresh, and absolutely delicious! At first glance we weren't sure we would be able to finish it all but we ended up DEVOURING all of it! read more

Feels like a very cool modern place, but the pizza did not blow us away. Granted we only tried once so we probably owe this place another go, but it did not beat Punch Pizza for me. The flavors were a little bit more complex and the mock tail was well done. The Caesar salad was also interesting. I feel like you're mostly paying for the vibes here which are extremely cool. read more

I was down the street with a friend for dinner and remembered Young Joni having a speakeasy bar in the back. We walked down the alley passed the red light and there's a door. Same color as the building. Open that and you'll enter a waiting room that's separated by a glass wall showing their liquor storage. Once someone comes out to greet you, check your ID, they'll open the door to another room. The green furniture and wooden walls gave me a nostalgic feeling of someone's grandma house when I was little. We were given a deck of baseball cards, which was their cocktail menu. They also have a full bar if nothing on the menu suits your taste. My friend and I both ordered zero proof cocktail. They were pretty tasty. Would definitely have to come back another time again. read more

My family and I came to Young Joni for my grandma's birthday. It's a lovely restaurant, I especially loved the interior and the staff were so nice. It's a great place to get a fancier meal with great vibes. I was excited to try the James Beard award-winning chef Ann Kim's restaurant. A majority of the menu is pizza-based and their pizza was definitely great. It was also served in more of a family-style way so I definitely recommend coming with a group! We ordered the "Korean BBQ," "Umami Mama," and "My Sha-Roni" pizzas. My favorite was the Sha-Roni, then Korean BBQ, then Umami Mama. I appreciated the wide and unique variety of pizzas, there were lots of options to choose from! There isn't anything bad at all about them, but I was expecting more of a "bang" when paying $30 for a pizza. However, they were very delicious and worth it if you like to splurge. Other than the pizzas, we also ordered the "Thai Sausage Skewers" and "Juk." The Thai Sausage Skewers were probably my favorite thing I ate -- it was a refreshing and light plate that is easily sharable. The sausages were well flavored with lots of herbs and spices, they were so good! The Juk was a great dish to eat if you're looking for something more breakfasty. We also ordered an alcoholic Thai Tea which was pretty good! It honestly tasted just like a Thai Tea, perfect for people who don't like the taste of alcohol like me. They also had a fun photobooth where you can print out photo strips! We got some vouchers for free pictures from the workers, which was so nice. I loved the interior design and feel of the restaurant the best. It totally fits the vibe of the Northeast neighborhood. Young Joni is definitely a must try! It's a bit upscale for my taste, but I don't regret going! read more

I came here with some friends for dinner and had the best time! The low lighting atmosphere creates an upscale yet comfortable vibe. All of the staff were helpful and efficient. We did not have a reservation but we only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table, so we really appreciated that! Our group shared the chicken wings, sweet potatoes, tavern pizza, and short rib pizza. We couldn't leave without dessert, so we ordered ice cream and carrot cake. Young Joni has been around for a long time; it's obvious they know what they're doing and they do it well! read more

The near universal reaction to the mention of Young Joni's is some version of praise or infatuation, and I can now proudly contribute appropriately. The spacious and homey interior provided the perfect backdrop for a NE dining experience. As a first-timer to the posh establishment, I had to try the Korean BBQ pizza. The flavor was so powerful snd exquisite I'm not sure it belonged on pizza, but my taste buds were very pleased... though admittedly my wallet was not. My friend made the executive decision to order the table olive oil ice cream for dessert; a bit of a cacophony of flavors - or so I thought. This was indeed the show stopper. The rich olive oil and salt perfectly complemented the creamy dairy delight. In improper Midwest fashion, I shamelessly took the last bite. Food: Korean BBQ pizza, cauliflower, mussels, olive oil ice cream read more

Night out with friends! Started with some shared spicy cauliflower and then dove into a nice, unique variety of pizzas that were shared and enjoyed by all. We shared the church basement desert, it was good for 6 of us. They automatically add a 21% surcharge for tips and benefits for the workers. Service was attentive and helpful. The restaurant is scantly decorated but welcoming, noise level was reasonable and you could to talk to others without shouting, which is unusual in a place this shape and size.

I have heard about this spot for months from my team members and finally made reservations a month in advance. We were seated in the restaurant and I immediately loved the vibe. It is very unassuming from the outside. we ordered some drinks and apps. We stared off with the three different radish kimchi which were surprisingly good! I even liked the one made out of beets and I don't like beets! I also really liked the chili glazed prawns and the LA Kalbi. Those are fabulous! We also tried the cauliflower and the chewy rice cakes and cheese. Next followed the Pizza's! Hands down my favorite was the pickled pie and the my sharoni! Lots of others loved the Korean BBQ and the La Parisienne but I'll let you judge which one is better! After we ordered a bunch of deserts to share. I really liked the presentation of the milk and cookies but enjoyed the ice cream trio. had a great time here and the food is great too! read more

My brother-in-law found this place through friends and brought us when we were visiting. I'm a huge Korean BBQ fan so he wanted me to try the pizza they had. I definitely recommend the shakshuka, as well as the smoked white fish dip. The shakshuka was seasoned very well and probably one of the best one's I've had. I will say that the eggs on top needed a little more time to cook. I'm all about a delicious runny yolk, but when the egg white is still transparent, I can't do that. The fish dip was so good, I don't know how to describe it. It is fishy so if you're not a fan of that fishy taste, this isn't for you. For the pizzas, I have to say the Zucchini pizza was my favorite. I was worried that it would be soggy since zucchini holds a lot of water, but surprisingly it wasn't. It was seasoned well and absolutely delicious. The KBBQ is second (they need to town it down on the heaping pile of arugula - it's too much honestly and over powers the pizza), and the Perfect Pickle Pie was third. While it tasted great, it was too salty. That being said, I loved the crust on the pizzas - thing and crispy. They have a non-alcoholic drink menu and I tried their root vegetable one that had beets, among other things. I loved it but I also loved beets so there's that. Service was ok, not impressive but we weren't ignored either. The restaurant itself is good for large groups to hang out, or to have a date night. We went in the morning before they had a rush so I'm not sure what the noise level is like. The decor is very rustic with some modern touches. read more

I was visiting the city of Minneapolis from NYC and found this place thanks to Chatgpt. I ordered take out b/c this place was booked out for the remainder of my days in the city. I had Kbbq and Marinara pizza (both have no cheese) along with chicken wings. The kbbq pizza was 8 out of 10 and Marinara pizza was 9 out of 10. Chicken wings were 8 out of 10. All were delicious and well worth my drive out there at 9pm from my hotel. I heard that this place will be closing down in about 2 weeks due to the landlord doubling the rent. It's too bad the city will be losing one of their better restaurants... read more
