Broadway Pizza

Ok. I love LOVE love Broadway. Have for years. This location is NOT affiliated with the others. It’s the old independent version and seems to have the original sauce/​crust. We are lacking good thin crust in Crystal and we were so excited, and it was pretty damn tasty BUT… CANNED MUSHROOMS??? REALLY?!? Why?!? It took a 5 star meal to a 3. Total bummer. Not to mention gross. The dry rubbed wings were awesome however. Crispy, hot and the rub was very flavorful. Also, I noticed that the ranch seemed housemade. Bonus. PLEASE, CAN THE CANNED MUSHROOMS!!! It isn’t 1980 anymore…

BEST pizza around, love the crispy thin crust! Regarding Larry’s review-​this is a pizza joint, not fine dining.. & where in the world do you go that a waitress wears hair nets!!!

Best pizza in town. Excellent sauce, toppings are great and the pie is cooked perfectly. Our delivery driver, drives the black Prius is a great guy. Very friendly, always has a good joke. This is how pizza should taste!

I grew up on this pizza and left Robbinsdale in the 80’s for So. Cal. Those little square pieces of deliciousness are exactly as I remember. I knew at least three people next door at the Eagle’s nest. However, since when does every combo contain shrimp. Give me the freakin’ special the way it was. Shrimp??? No thank you!

I love Broadway Pizza and I hate to give a location 3-​Stars, but the Robbinsdale location is a cut short of quality of the North Minneapolis and Plymouth stores.
Parking isn’t bad at all as its in a mini-​mall complex and there’s quite a bit of spaces. The outside isn’t quite as welcoming as the other stores and is located on a corner block without much décor to welcome guests.
Inside is fairly nice, if not slightly cramped. The Robbinsdale store has quite a different atmosphere than the other locations I’ve been to. The restaurant has a slight drab/​casual feel to it and a lot less of the «bar» feel of the other stores. Perhaps a bit like comparing a Dennys to a TGI Friday’s.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think the menu is reduced with less options. I may be thinking this because the menus are smaller, laminated ones versus the standard, large fold-​out menus at the other stores. I would have to compare both menus side by side.
The service is actually quite good at the Robbinsdale store. Both times I have been there I have sat in a booth near the bar and been served by the same bartender. He has been pleasant on both occasions, attentive to customer needs and is quick with a refill.
Pizza both times was cooked quickly, to order and hot and fresh. I will give them a knock because the only hot sauce they had was Tabasco… they definitely could stand to get some Cholula, Sriracha, etc.
Overall, still great Broadway Pizza, good service and easy to find. A bit lacking on the atmosphere and some of the other amenities and niceties of the other Metro Broadways.

The best New York style pizza around (thin crust) the pizza is really greasy but is amazing you don’t eat pizza to be healthy. They have buffets on weekdays 11 – 2 which are good they rotate pizzas and have a small pasta bar. Also I like it more because I have gone there my whole life! The cherry coke is added with cherry syrup (yummy) the staff is really nice. The pizza comes out really hot and they do a good job! Watch out though just stick to the pizza or else the it can get pricy here.

Walked in and it looked like a walking billboard for what not to do for personal hygiene. The pizza makers looked as if they have been drunk or stoned for the last 6 weeks. Gal with longer hair and no hairnet waitressing.
Thin piZza over priced, scantily topped.
If this is the best pizza recipe that has been around for 45 years, I suggest you go save money and go to Domino’s instead.
At least by the looks of the product, domino’s is more appealing!

Went for the first time, and I was impressed by the spicy sauce and the thin crust. My server was great. Hey, this isn’t trying to be Travail. It’s a basic pizza place, and a good one at that. $ 7.99 lunch buffet is nice. I am moving to Robbinsdale this month, and I think that this will be a regular hang out for good, reasonably priced food. Hey, Broadway – do you deliver in town?

When I live in MN in the summers, Broadway is my favorite place for pizza. If you like thin crust, it can’t be matched. I noticed that there are reviews on here that say it isn’t as good as the «orig» Broadway pizza. Well, that’s true because the original was torn down for hwy 94 and was back in the early 60’s when I had my first taste and it melted in your mouth. I think some of the reviews that are posted here are from their competitors, ;) Just sayin’

Its not gourmet or wood oven quality, but for a thin crust pizza, it is special and brings me back whenever I’m in the area. I love the unique flavor and crust.

Hands down the best thin crust pizza in the area! Love their staff and their food! This location uses all fresh ingredients and you can really taste the difference compared to the others. When we order delivery it always arrives promptly. Love, love, love it! If you haven’t been here yet you should go now!

For my money, this place does as good of a thin crust pizza as anywhere else in the cities, if not better. They do have a few other things on their menu as well such as burgers, pasta and sandwiches though I’ve never tried them. Be aware if you’re coming here for pizza, all they do in thin crust, so if that’s not you’re thing then this isn’t the place for you. Most of this place is taken up by the bar. They do have seating in the dining room though in my experience it fills up quickly, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, so come early or expect to wait. I usually just go with carry out. Service has always been quite good. I did once have a problem with a carry out order (they forgot to make the pizza) but they were really nice about the mixup and more than compensated for the trouble.

OK in a pinch, but doesn’t hold a candle to the original on West Broadway.

I was kind of disappointed by the deep dish pizza as it was pretty plain and nothing to write home about. However, the appetizers were great and the root beer on tap was awesome.

Disappointing pizza. Not terrible but not worth a drive. Good beer special at the time and plentiful TV screens.

Went for pizza, ordered two, the server was good, but another guy I think the assistant manager decided to run orders out of the kitchen. Bad idea, he gave us someone else’s pizza, a sausage with onions instead of just sausage and extra cheese. They had to cook another one after we sent that one back, and the guy never came back to apologize or give us any type of discount or anything. The server was very apologetic and was nice but still doesn’t excuse the managers behavior.

I like going here with a co-​worker for their lunch buffet. It’s solid pizza, usually 3 – 4 types (all thin crust) at the same time. Also, there’s a always salad bar and a pasta dish. I didn’t care for the Spaghetti but the the Stuffed Shells were awesome.

Comparing this location to the original one, it’s pretty below average.
We came here because it was closer to us than the original broadway though we like the original location a lot.
They offer varieties of things, but the pizza options are limited. We tried the broadway salad, chicken strips, and eddie’s extra special pizza. The salad was very meh. The chicken strips were standard. The pizza was ok.
If we ever crave broadway pizza again, we would drive just a little further away to the original one.

We used to have fun in both the bar area (meat raffle, pool) and the restaurant area. Since we live close, sometimes you just want no frills pizza. Unfortunately, we were recently harrassed there by a homophobic bar patron whose wife yelled expletives at our 3-​year old son. When I mentioned this harassing patron to the manager, he didn’t seem to think it was a big deal. I told him we felt unsafe in the restaurant and he said he had no control of people there, just staff. I guess the restaurant management is homophobic, too? Lots of pink dollars to be had in this area of town. Really, really, sad.

This place has pretty standard Midwest pizza — not my thing, so I can’t say if it’s a good example or not. The burgers are pretty great. Pasta dishes. eh, the lasagna has cottage cheese in it. I won’t be ordering that again.
Seems like a good place for a few beers and some pub grub.
