Pino's Pizzeria has anchored Downtown St. Paul for more than 30 years, a family-run counter turning out hand-crafted, made-from-scratch pies in small batches daily. The style is classic New York — a 16-inch cheese pie as the base, with toppings like pepperoni, buffalo chicken, alfredo chicken, and spinach layered on whole pies. Calzones are folded and stuffed, and slices rotate through a display case in-store, alongside a limited, in-house-only item called Team Zoney.
The shop runs on a daily, event-based rhythm: a set number of pizzas gets baked each day, and once they're gone, that's it until the next. Pino, the pizzeria's owner, has decades of pizza-making experience and remains the person behind the name on the sign. Star Tribune has included Pino's in its local pizza coverage.
