We love this place. Best Neapolitan pizza. Always a table available. Fast service. Order at the counter and meal is brought to you by friendly staff. There is a nice patio during warm weather months. A free parking lot or on street parking.
Punch is a great, basic local Neapolitan pizza chain in the Twin Cities. Now that their Highland location has closed, I think this is the best location. Pizzas are fresh and pretty quick, prices are reasonable, and they have an okay selection of beer and wine. The crust is perfect, toppings tend toward traditional Italian ingredients (no Hawaiian pizza here). There are better wood fired pizzas in the metro, but not at Punch's price point. The casual atmosphere is great.
The food here is delicious and very reasonably priced we got the toscano and the sausage one it was well balanced and all the ingredients tasted fresh the pizza was perfect size for two people , my dad got the maximus to go as well , for the pizza and a wine for me and my other gues it was about 26$ not a bad deal at all I will def be coming back here I know why this place is so famous in highland park now it's that good you won't be disappointed for whatever you choose the red pepper in the pizza could be a bit less spicy but other than that we loved it
We enjoyed our pizzas, Margherita with mozzarella bi bufala, Bruni and Puttanesca. They were all really good.
Ordered 2 pizzas to go, they were ready a few minutes early. We got one red and one white. Both were good artisan pizzas. I feel like 1 pizza is good for 1+ person, splitting for 2 might not work in someone is really hungry. I appreciate they have a large parking lot.
