Punch Neapolitan Pizza – Woodbury

Husband and I wanted to try something different. We were not disappointed! You order ur 11inch pizza at the counter, then they bring it to ur table. $ 6.99, then $ 1 for each topping. The crust is pretty thin btw. Good flavor, service and a clean environment.

This is the second visit to this restaurant, since the first was a big success. However this time, we very disappointed. Three of us bought the Siciliano, with one paying extra for D.O.C. and asking for extra crispy crust. All three pizzas arrived with the crusts very soggy and very watery. Also the extra $ 3.50 for D.O.C. was NOT worth it. I could barely see any extra cheese or sauce. But all of the pizzas were very watery and soggy. Would not order these again. In fairness, we did not complain, which is why we will give them another chance. One bright note is the Punch salad is very good.

You won’t need a beverage, the pizza is watery enough. Don’t let this location be the first time you try Punch if you can help it. Every time I go the pizza is so watery that the every bit of cheese drips off the pizza before it hits my mouth, it’s always room temperature, and the manager did nothing to assure me they would take my comments into consideration when I politely explained how poor my experiences have been compared to the U of M location, which happens to be cheaper. He told me that I should’ve gotten the dry version, blaming the customer. Why would I get the dry version at one location so that it tastes similar to how other locations do it by default? This, on top of how unhappy their employees seem are the reasons why I’ll stick to other locations.

The pizza is made from fresh ingredients. They cook it in an oven at 900 degrees Fahrenheit for 90 seconds. The food is reasonably priced and they have different sizes of pizza. Like I said, they cook it REALLY fast, 90 seconds fast! The crust in thin and it is a little burnt, I normally don’t like burnt pizza but if you do this place is good for you. The atmosphere is really nice and there is a lot of room to sit in. The staff is very nice, we said olives and they put on black instead of green and they remade the pizza with no extra cost! It’s more of a date pizza. I give Punch Pizza 4 stars.

We ate here last week right before my orchestra rehearsal. I thought there wasn’t much time but the salad came out in minutes. Then, the pizza came out after a few more minutes. We had the same pizza as last time when we were in Minneapolis. Punch pizza was just as we remembered with pine nuts. It could have had more pine nuts in our opinion but it was still good. The pizza thin crust was simply heavenly and enjoyed the olives on top. My wife could actually eat the olives without making a stink face. The olives were not overly sour with vinegar and the all the other toppings were good too. We were told that this particular Borgata pizza is a favorite of Meryl Streep and so are we.

Fresh ingredients, great cheese, melt in your mouth crust, welcoming and modern ambiance, friendly service, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating and a good selection of drinks! If you like Neapolitan pizza — you will love this place.

Totally « Unilocaled» this pizza dinner experience. All pizza’ are personal size and pretty generous. The toppings were fresh and they make your pizza in full view. We had a «Margherita» and an «Napoli» which were slightly under-​cooked for our taste (the center was a little doughy). Pizzas are cooked quickly in an authentic wood fire oven. There is a selection of craft beers and wine available. Service was fast and the seating outside of available booths is «euro style», which can make for an interesting meal experience.

5 stars from me! The pizzas are made fresh and hot from the best ingredients, the atmosphere is cool and unique — the long tables are really homey — and the staff have always been exceptionally friendly!
We have eaten here probably a dozen times and we’ve never had a bad experience.
Easily our fav pizza in the ‘bury, and I believe the best salad around!
No negative comments here! Keep up the good work!

Nice place to have dinner, I really enjoyed the outdoor seating. Our waitress Jenny was simply amazing and I am grateful for the service.
It can be hard to find a nice new place to eat in Woodbury, I really like the vast options on the menu.
I would definitely recommend and will have another meal here when the time comes.

Great service!!! Excellent food!!!
I have been her several times and I have not been disappointed yet. The Punch salad is great and the pizza delicious and fast.

Pretty average, but good enough. Like Paul Rudd, not that great looking, average, but I’d hit that.
Punch had been on my to do list for a while. I was out going HAM at a wedding the previous night. At the end of the reception they had late night pizza, I had me a square. When I went for seconds they were out. So waking up the next day, it was decided, Punch Pizza here I come.
2pm, I leave my bed. I tried to call in my order for takeout since I live about 15 – 20 minutes away. They don’t take call ahead orders. Hmm… slightly annoyed now, I’m thinking maybe Red Savoys instead. Nope, I get my ass in the car and I start my drive.
It’s fairly empty when I get there. It’s a cute little place, modern décor, with indoor and outdoor seating.
The kid taking my order was friendly. After looking quickly at the menu I go for a margarita pizza. I add prosciutto and capers. I read a bunch of reviews that complained about the pizza being soggy, and I saw responses that said to ask for dry. I decided to just go with the standard wet and see how I like it, dry next time.
My order’s in and the cashier tells me it’ll be up in 5 minutes. Of course in my brain I’m like aaaaahuh, 5 minutes my ass, watch this shit will take like 20 minutes. 5 minutes later my pizza was done. Dang.
I get home and I prepare to dig in. I get my plate, fork, knife, napkins, Parmesan and crushed red pepper just in case, and I settle in front of the TV.
First bite, cold and salty. Boooo. I should have left the capers off. The prosciutto gave enough salt. I shoved it in the oven and waited 10 minutes. I’m starving now and crabby.
Okay, the pizza is now hot. First slice finished, and the verdict is average. It’s a fork and knife pizza. I added my Parmesan and crushed red pepper, I needed some other seasoning aside from salt. I wish there was more basil too. The crust was okay. They put it up close to the heat and get a lot of charcoal on the crust. I’m a fan of charcoal flavor, but some parts were a little too charred.
I’d return at some point to try a pizza «dry style.» There’s a lot of other places that have blow your mind delicious pizza, but there were some other pizzas on Punch’s menu I’d like to eventually try.

We had never been to a Punch. We tend to visit our local Hudson establishment, Brick’s Pizza. Which is fantastic by the way.
Anyway, we’re in Woodbury on Sunday June 7^th and say hey, let’s try Punch.
The best thing about this experience is the Izzy’s ice cream they serve.
We’re greeted by a kid with a shock of white bleach in his otherwise black hair with the personality equivalent to a rock. Instead of helping us as we looked at the menu, he stood staring at us and taking dainty sips from his cup straw. The other help behind the counter and this one girl working the floor were vibrant and seemed genuinely happy to be there. This guy daydreamed about the latest Def Punk album or something. He even just stared at his fellow employees. After what seemed like forever, my wife says we’ve never been to a Punch before so he explains the menu. Basic pizza then add toppings, etc.
Anyway the food. Soggy. Neither my wife or I could actually pick the slices of pizza up because it was so soggy. Our topping? Pepperoni and sausage. So nothing funky. It just wasn’t cooked correctly. The Izzy’s ice cream as mentioned was fantastic.
There is also a station where you can put your dirty dishes and silverware. That spot was almost overflowing with dishes. When we got to Punch, there were four other tables filled so there was plenty of time to clean up.
Anyway, we’ll try Punch again but we would like to try the Highland location next time. Definitely not the Woodbury one though.

Amazing service, delicious pizza. Service was super fast. We had Napoli vegetarian pizza and was one of the best pizzas we had so far. Artichoke dip was very good. Garlic on pizza taste really good.. Must try place.

I had lunch here. The place was packed when I stepped through the doors, so I just ordered to go. The menu was easily accessible and the to go boxes were very sturdy (probably the best quality pizza box I’ve seen). Staff was very friendly and welcoming.
When I opened my to go box, I was kind of concerned because of very few topping and little cheese. But the first bite drowned all my doubts. I have never eaten such a creamy pizza that wasn’t cheesy. The pizza was gone in under 5min. Complete Satisfied here.

Really friendly staff. My first time here with my girlfriend was early fall of 2014. The cashier recommended the Margherita Pizza and we rolled with it. We sat outside and when we received our pizza, the first couple bites was crispy and light. I appreciate that my fingers weren’t chalked up in dough and seasonings like most pizza places. A few minutes later an employee had told us they brought us the wrong pizza (it was our first time, we had no clue anyways). They apologized and a few minutes later they brought us a second pizza free of charge. I should’ve asked what pizza we currently were eating because it looked like the cook actually put the time and care into the pizza. The Margheritza had a pool (literally) of olive oil in the middle. By the time we finished our first pizza, only the crust was edible in the Margherita.
Because the second pizza was free, we didn’t feel like we were entitled to complain (is it supposed to have that much olive oil on it anyways?). The first pizza was light, crispy, not too heavy on the sauce so you could actually appreciate the crust, and theyre not going to overdue it with the cheese but it was just enough for a light taste. So if you’re looking for a heart attack, this place is not for you.

Best lunch place ever! First of all, the pizzas are awesome! I recommend doing the Craft Your Own Pizza option, where you start with either a Margherita or Napoli pizza (the only difference is that one has basil and the other has oregano) for $ 6.50 and add on as many toppings as you want (about $ 1 each). The make your own pizzas are about 12 inches in size, and they come out super fast despite being made to order. When you get your pizza, you’ll look at it and think to yourself, «Great! I’ll eat half for now for lunch and take half with me to go for dinner.» Then half an hour later, you’ll look at your completely empty plate and regret nothing. The crust on the pizza’s is very thin (a big plus in my book), and they have a pretty thin layer of cheese, so it’s not hard at all to just down the whole thing without even realizing it. Definitely coming back here!

I brought my daughter here this past summer and rate it as such:
1– Ambience /​vibe. Outdoor seating is decent at this location, albeit small. There was only one open table as it was summer. ⁷⁄₁₀
2– Service. We sat at a table that had just served 4 people and all of the dirty dishes were piled up with dirty napkins… etc. and was not cleaned off until I had one bite left to eat of my pizza. Yes, you heard me right. Our food HAD BEEN SERVED on a dirty table without any dishes and garbage having been cleaned off! I had even asked one of the very «unaware» servers and nothing happened. UNACCEPTABLE. ⁰⁄₁₀
3– Food. Our pizza was so soggy that I had to literally roll it up and eat it like a burrito. The flavor was OK, but the soggy texture ruined the whole idea of eating a «pizza» for me. ¹⁄₁₀
To sum it up, I had a rolled up, soggy pizza on a table full of garbage with no wait staff help whatsoever until I had one bite left. Get your act together, please.

Pleasantly surprised! Excellent customer service off the bat, and a very clean and appealing environment. W
The star was definitely the pizza. Served extremely fast due to an 800 degree wood fire oven. The ingredients were absolutely of the freshest!!! The best sausage I’ve ever had and the veggies and cheeses OUT of this world fresh!
Another plus is local beers like Fulton, Indeed, and liftbridge on tap! I will definitely return!

I’ve been here twice during weekday lunch hours. I’ll start by saying that the cashier, same one both times, is a total sweetheart. She’s always smiling! And not in a creepy way! Even if she inadvertently F’s something up, she F’s it up in the nicest way possible. Which honestly voids the error in my eyes. Basically don’t be a dick to me and you’re golden.
The first time I went, I was thrilled with the elements and flavors of my pizza, but it was just swimming in oil. But live and learn, people — next time I asked them to take it easy on the olive oil. And it was awesome. I tend to veer towards salty toppings — like capers and prosciutto — which really complement their light sauce and thin crust. I’ve found that my pies have had an ample amount of toppings, and you can specify which ones you want added post-​cooking (ex: arugula and prosciutto).
Also on my first visit, I ate-​in, and I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to dispose of my own plate or not. So I stood up with my trash and had a «Durr whaddayado?» look on my face, and one of the pizza cooks kindly grabbed my attention and took care of it for me. The second time I went, I got a free scoop of Izzy’s ice cream for my birthday (a gift that is received straight from my heart).
Side Note: I believe it is Newton’s Law of Life Hating You that is exhibited when you are in a hurry to get your takeout home/​work to eat and you hit every single red light on the way.

Update #2 (1÷3÷2016): omg! So I’ve since become vegetarian after my first two reviews. Now transitioning to vegan. I emailed Punch Pizza corporate 1÷3÷2016 Sunday 7:42pm to ask if their crust was vegan friendly. Shortly after (7:45pm to be exact) I got a confirmation.
**PUNCH PIZZA CRUST IS VEGAN FRIENDLY!!! **
Now I’ll order cheese less and see how that goes.
Update #1: my new favorite salad is the Greco! I’ve never liked yellow peppers or whatever they’re called, or olives. This salad has both. It’s super delicious, n fresh, and a little salty, but so good! The chop Italian is my second now.
Pizza wise the salame with mushroom and fontina is the best. I think it’s #13? I’m not sure, but Ik when I see the menu. So far the only pizza I like there. We found out we don’t like gorgonzola cheese. He thinks it’s sweet, I think it’s smokey.
The dessert is simple and good, but not worth the price for me. I can make delicious nutella treat at home easy.
Old review:
OMG! I love their Italian Chopped Salad! Soooo goood! My boyfriend loves pizza. He always orders the margarita with sausage and mushrooms. I think their pizzas are ok. I had one with anchovies once. waaay too salty. I ordered the salad the last two times we were there. Amazing. Tastes so fresh and it’s got little chunks of meat in there. The bread that comes with it is so delish too! Just a little olive oil and i believe rosemary? I’m not sure. So good tho. I like that bread better than the pizza itself. LOL
The smaller/​cheaper salad is $ 5, and you get half a pizza crust as side (drizzlUpdateed in oil and topped with rosemary). For me, it’s a big enough salad! I didn’t finish it last time I was there. We will definitely be going back.
