Saint Paul Brewing
We're back!
In St Paul's old Hamm's Brewery building, you'll find more than unrelated-to-Hamm's beers at St Paul Brewing. 12" wood-fired pizzas are on the menu, and that means we'll be there too. Last Sunday, six of us made our way into their spacious dinning area filled with eclectic chairs. We ordered five, yes five specialty pizzas off their menu. Keep scrolling to see our ratings, watch our opinions, and find out which two pizzas of the bunch are the most special.
Pro tip: the pizzas aren't rested long enough before they're served to you. So let them sit for a little bit to have better luck in the curst, sauce, and toppings adhering to each other.
Corleone Pizza- 3.9 / 5
Toppings: Sausage, Fontina Cheese, Garlic, Arugula, and Chili Crunch
Highlights: flavorful sausage and crispy, baked arugula
Lowlights: not enough chili crunch
more chili crisp please
seriously, more chili crisp
Hot Pepp In Your Step- 3.4 / 5
Toppings: red sauce, mozzarella, spicy pepperoni pucks, and Cry Baby Craig's hot honey drizzled over the top
Lowlights: light and sparse ingredients. not spicy enough
hot and wet
Underwhelming
The BIG Dill- 3.8 / 5
Toppings: House Made Dough/Dill Cream Sauce/Fresh Mozzarella/Bacon/House Made Pickles finished with Dill Cream drizzle and Dill dry Rub

subscriptions and puns
