The pizza is delicious! Amazing flavor and the perfect crunchy crust. We will be back for the pizza! However, the service was disappointing. The restaurant is adorable and well decorated but the employee taking our order never smiled or said hi. We said it was our first time and they didn’t say anything to us. Would have been a perfect experience if the staff was friendlier.
After an afternoon of walking at the Mall of America, we decided to try Pizza Novara which is conveniently located across the Mall. We sat at the bar after placing an order for the Novara Deluxe pizza which has pepperoni, sausage, onions, mushrooms, basil, and their house red sauce. Our pie was cooked to perfection with fresh ingredients and a well done crust. We also ordered the meatballs as an appetizer which were fantastic! They have a great assortment of food other than pizza such as sandwiches, salad, and pasta dishes. This place is worth checking out when you’re in the Twin Cities.
This has become my new favorite pizza place!🙂

Was seriously surprised by the size of the slices. I always go for the pepperoni. The pizza is delicious, the perfect amount of everything. Not to greasy. Nor is it over bearing with certain flavors. At least for my palate. The prices are good. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
If you are ever visiting the mall of America, I highly recommend skipping any restaurants in the mall and taking the short drive over here. We got the pepperoni pizza and buffalo wings and both were incredible. They have a classic thin crust New York style pizza that checked all the boxes. Wasn’t the best that I’ve had, but definitely satisfies you if you’re craving this type of za.
What I thought was truly incredible were the wings. They say they marinate the wings for 24 hours in buttermilk and you can definitely tell. The exterior is perfectly crispy, but once you bite into the chicken, it explodes in juices. Definitely will be back for the wings if nothing else. Would love to try the pasta dishes on the menu too as it all looked good.
Price wise was very reasonable. Total was around $45 for pizza and wings, which could easily feed 3-4 people.
Nice dine-in area with plenty of seats. Menu has a variety of options and everything tasted fresh. Our group ordered a large and a medium and each pie has plenty of ingredients. Crust was good and had a good crunch. If there was any negatives the Large could’ve been a bit crispier at the bottom but because of the conveyor style oven the Large and Medium are probably cooked for the same duration. They also serve drinks and desserts if you’re craving for something. I also liked how their drink machine offers a mixed variety of different flavors that is local to MN.
We ordered online for delivery to our hotel. Got a large peperoni and a large Novara Deluxe for two kids and four adults. The pizzas were huge! Great taste. Delivery was on time and they came right to our hotel room. Had plenty of leftovers for two more days! A great value for good pizza.
I got the gluten free cauliflower crust pizza and the crust was very chewy. I did not enjoy the pizza. We also asked for a cookie to not be included on my son’s plate because none of us could eat the cookie and they included one anyway which was annoying. My husband and son enjoyed their pizza.
