Minneapolis might not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of incredible pizza, but Pizzeria Lola is changing that conversation. When Guy Fieri visited this Southwest Minneapolis gem, he found a wood-fired operation that takes pizza to a completely different level.
A Copper-Covered French Pizza Oven
One of the first things that caught Guy’s eye was the oven itself — a copper-covered, wood-fired French pizza oven that gives every pie a perfect char and blistered crust. Chef Ann Kim (who has since won a James Beard Award) built Pizzeria Lola around the idea that pizza doesn’t have to follow the rules.
Korean-Inspired Pizza? Yes, Really.
What really sets Pizzeria Lola apart is the Korean influence. Chef Kim brings her Korean heritage into the menu with toppings like soy-marinated short rib, kimchi, and sesame. The result is pizza that’s creative without being gimmicky — every combination is carefully balanced and delicious.
With a 4.7-star Google rating and over 3,500 reviews, Pizzeria Lola has become one of Minneapolis’s most beloved restaurants. The DDD appearance only confirmed what locals already knew: this place is the real deal.
