Pizzeria Lola, Wood-fired pizza restaurant in Southwest Minneapolis, United States.
Pizzeria Lola is a wood-fired pizza restaurant in the Southwest neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The menu mixes classic Italian pizza-making with American and Korean influences, and the kitchen offers both dine-in service and Take and Bake options for cooking at home.
Ann Kim opened the restaurant after leaving a career in acting to focus on cooking, driven by a deep interest in dough and wood-fired techniques. It has since become a well-known stop in the Minneapolis food scene.
Ann Kim's Korean background shows up directly on the menu, most notably in a pizza topped with Korean BBQ, kimchi, and sesame. The combination feels natural rather than forced, sitting comfortably alongside more familiar toppings.
The restaurant is open every day, making it easy to stop by without planning too far ahead. Seating can fill up quickly, especially on weekends, so arriving early or booking in advance is a good idea.
The restaurant takes its name from the founder's dog, Lola, whose photo is displayed inside the space. A photo booth near the entrance lets guests take pictures while they wait for their order.
