Some pizza die-hards have a rule: Pizza comes in squares, not slices. Send it out otherwise, and you should go to jail. Available in squares since it was sold at one end of the tiny Broadway Bar in the early 1950s, this is pizza that made its mark and gained a following with pizza lovers and critics. The first actual parlor was put up a few blocks away at Broadway and West River Road, complete with a train car to emphasize the impact of railroads on that section of town. Now all the locations have a railroad theme, and all specialize in the original recipes created by Eddie Peck. For those who wouldn't have it any other way, thin crust is the big draw here. Folks who require a Broadway pizza on a regular basis may order the Extra Special and ask for it a bit "well done" to get that golden-brown look. The menus are a little different at some spots -- most Broadways list pastas, burgers and salads, while others stick to the basics: pizza and appetizers. The restaurants are very family-friendly, offering a kid's menu and an ideal setting for hungry youth sports teams or groups, although couples and groups of pals are also typical guests.

  • Some Great; Some Not

    Review rating : 4out of 5   TS Mack - 06/02/2008

    Been eating Broadway Pizza in North Mpls since a kid, it's the best. Robbinsdale, Maple Grove also great, but be careful some locations are terrible...Rogers is awful, gone back several times hoping for a good pizza but disappointed to date.

    Broadway Pizza was the standard by which all pizza used to be measured. Before its current digs on Broadway near the river on the Near Northside it was located in a small bar on Broadway where I94 is now. I've been going there since then. It just seems to have lost its punch over the years. They're kind of just going through the motions and still cashing in on the name.

  • Bad experience

    Admittedly I haven't been to this place for awhile, but the one time I did, I got the most bland and skimpy pizza I have ever had in my life. I have never been back. Hopefully, it's better now.
