About Punch pizza
We're passionate pizza makers on a mission to craft the most authentic, fresh punch pizza in St Louis Park, MN — one perfect pie at a time.
The Story Behind
Punch pizza
Punch pizza was born from a simple love of great food and bold flavors. Founded in St Louis Park, MN, we set out to create a punch pizza experience unlike anything else — where every ingredient is chosen with care and every pie is made fresh to order.
"Great pizza isn't just about the dough or the sauce — it's about the people who make it and the community it brings together."
From our first location at 5799 W 16th St, we've grown by staying true to our roots: fresh ingredients, handcrafted technique, and genuine hospitality. Our team is a family of pizza lovers, and we bring that passion to every single order we prepare.
