The Spot
Pizzeria Lola began when chef Ann Kim, a Korean immigrant, left her day job to open a neighborhood wood-fired pizzeria in Armatage, drawing on her mother's cooking and naming the place after her dog, Lola.

The wood-fired pizzas carry Korean-Italian touches alongside more classic combinations, with meatballs, salads, and soft serve ice cream rounding out the menu. Reviewers also point to the potatoes and the Korean BBQ-inspired offerings as regulars order them again and again.

Parbaked take-and-bake versions of the pizzas are available for cooking at home.

Pizzeria Lola made Mpls St Paul Magazine's Best of 2026 list and has drawn coverage from The Infatuation, building a reputation as a neighborhood institution in the Twin Cities pizza scene.
