Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Huge New York style slices for just under $4 but with crazy ingredients I'd never want to put on a pizza - on my visit, there was a spaghetti and meatballs pizza along with a macaroni and cheese pizza and an eggs-bacon-potato breakfast pizza. I grabbed a slice of cheese and a slice of the breakfast pizza (while whispering, "Yolo." quietly to myself) with a can of soda for just under $10. The breakfast pizza was actually okay and was super filling. I couldn't finish my cheese slice which was also okay. Not the best pizza I've had in Minneapolis but the novelty of the strange combinations along with the decent price-to-size ratio makes this place pretty good in my book. I also enjoyed the bar style seating facing the windows to the sunny yet freezing outside which made my solo lunch that much more enjoyable.

Delicious and creative pizzas. Even if you're not a huge pizza fan you should be able to find something here that you'll like.
(5)Joe B.
ya know, I like the location alot. you can grab a slice and sit in front of the window and people watch ala State Street Pub in Madison. The pizza is OK theyhave some unique combinations. there is not a alot of space to hand out per se. certainly worth stopping in for a quick slice if you are in the area, but I would not make it a destination place.
(3)Rebecca P.
If you can't find a slice that you love....then you must have no taste buds. Such good pizza!!!
(5)Mary Jo C.
Mesa is the keeper of my fave pizza in TC - cue the mac and cheese!!!!! It is the best thing ever when you need that bomb after bar food. I make a point of leaving the bars at 1:30 just to get my slice. They close promptly at 2, and I have had the misfortune of having the door slammed in my face on more than one occasion. Boo. Mesa just gets it. They have all the jazzy flavors on super thin, chewy crust with decant sauces to match. My fave thing to do is get the mac and cheese, drizzle with the chipotle sauce, and douse in parm, salt, and pepper. NOM! Nothing beats it! I heart you Mesa. Pretty please change your hours to close at 2:30? Thanksbye.

Mesa pizza is college kids 1am late night dream! They have tons of unique options that most pizza places don't have. They also have a ton a vegetarian options which I really appreciate because I am a vegetarian myself. I love the macaroni and cheese pizza, and the cheese tortellini, and with being a poor starving college student, with slices starting at 3.25 per slice it's very affordable! Not the best pizza in the world but really good and a reliable late night spot.
(3)Action D.
Mesa is a prime example that college kids will eat anything. And college kids are usually highly inebriated. And their palettes are not fully developed. But I digress, Mesa is the epitome of bland, collegiate focused after bar pizza. Toddler toppings like Mac N cheese don't project confidence. Granted, there are few quick options in Uptown any more, but Mesa is not the answer. Fail. For much better pie by the slice, Davannis down the street or slice of Ny on nicollet. Or pizza luce.
(2)Scott R.
Seriously People... Your a pizza place that offers delivery.. AND, your a pizza place.. It's time that you act like it.. I have been ordering from you for a long time now and I want what I want. WHY don't you have a way to price pizzas off the menu? WHY can't people order a pizza with the toppings that they want.. In all fairness, people can order these things BUTTTT.. The people on the phone have no idea of how to do it. I am often given a different price for my standard order and almost every time the person has to go and ask a manager what to do ... ALL I AM ASKING YOU TO DO IS ADD PEPPERONI!!! I only ask for extra pepperoni because I have settled for something on your menu that I like, I just want something extra. If I had my way then I would make a pizza I truly wished for and I am sure that I would LOVE it because your sauce and crust and cheese and everything else is pretty good. It is your failure to act like a real and true pizzeria that I Give you one star. You people SUCK!
(1)Sarah S.
I have reviewed the Mesa Pizza in Dinkytown before and the food is wonderfully consistent at both locations. I did order from the Uptown location this weekend and although I am a block or so outside the delivery zone, they awesomely agreed to deliver my Southern Gentleman. Props to Mesa!
(4)Ryan W.
The wife and I were out for a walk and decided we were hungry. We were in the area so we snagged a pie. The price for an 18 inch half cheese half pepperoni was 14 bucks! Sweet. We waited a few mins for the pie to cook, it was boxed up and we were on our way. Took about ten mins to walk back home. Upon arrival the pie was still piping hot, and tasted as it should. I am a sucker for NY style pizza, I have to say, I've had better and I've had worse. But for the price and distance this is a good choice. Will definitely go again. Might even try some of the more exotic slices.

MESA PIZZA...if a pizza place had a full name, I would use the full name in my best mom voice right now. I'm supremely disappointed in the uptown location. Other than the long lines at the Dinkytown location (which only speaks to the sheer number of students in the area), I've had no problems there. The ugly step cousin of the Dinkytown Mesa, the Uptown Mesa, I have yet to have a good experience. They can't seem to get themselves together. We arrived at 1:30am on a Saturday night. Prime time for a late night pizza place right? You'd think they would have ramped up their service, right? Wrong. We got there and there was literally two pieces of pizza left. That's it and they had NO intention of making anymore. We took our pizza and got out of there as a drunk, angry hoarde of hipsters made their way to break down the doors, and I don't blame them.
(2)Megan V.
I'm guessing the majority of business comes at bar close, because the pizza really isn't that good. Looks awesome, with lots of toppings, but very little taste. I had heard good things but was QUITE disappointed. Tried two pieces and both tasted like they had been out for awhile. Wouldn't go back. Even for late night food. Also, the staff is quite rude. Disappointed sums it up! :/
(2)Bronson M.
There have been multiple times during my post collegiate adventures through Uptown that I've had the dreaded bar-close munchies. My friends and I used to lament about how there was never anywhere good to grab a quick bite to eat to quench our hunger pangs. McDonalds just wouldn't cut it and I've never had the iron stomach required to eat the hot dogs from the cart at William's. Alas! Mesa Pizza has finally opened a location in Uptown to the delight of my friends and I. No longer do we have to feel awkward about mingling with the undergrads in Dinkytown in order to grab a slice of macaroni and cheese pizza. This location is smaller than the Dinkytown one but everything from the pizza choices to the prices are pretty much the same. Parking can be a pain but depending on what time of day it is you might be able to find a spot on Lake Street a few blocks away. Although they'd probably have the most business after bar close, it appears that they only are open until 2AM during the weekend.

Pizza is good but the employee guy last time was a dick trying to act like a hot shot for some girls inline in front of me.
(1)David P.
Not exactly pizza cuisine. The pies are usually sitting around for a while unless you come during the post bar-time close. The crust is pretty hard, not much flavor to it. The toppings are the only redeeming feature. They do have my favorites like mac'n'cheese and steak and fries. This is a much better idea if you just got done doing tequila shots all night down the street at a local pub. Beyond that idea - I'd skip this and try one of the much better pizza places available in Minneapolis.
(3)BK J.
Minneapolis is severely lacking in places you can stop in and just grab a slice of 'za. I was in heaven in Manhattan where it seems there is a slice joint within a block or two of wherever you are. Top the lack of slice joints with a number of places that just don't get what makes a pizza good and you have a slice desert. Populating outward from Madison is Mesa, first in Dinkytown, now in Uptown. The number of choices is fantastic, almost two dozen types of topping combos to choose from, and this was at 4pm! I ordered after checking out the options, the young woman popped it in the oven to crisp the crust and warm it up. About four minutes later I have my slice of pepperoni & mushroom, top it off with some red pepper flakes and grab a stool to shove it in my face. First thoughts - good initial flavor. After chowing down almost half of it I thought the crust is thicker than what I prefer, but hey, I just shoved half of it in my pie hole without thinking about the crust. The sauce is good but could use a bit more pepper, there was an adequate but not overkilled amount of cheese (one of my pet peeves is too much cheese), the crust had also crisped up nicely. Not a bad deal for $3.50. Definitely merits another visit to check out the other topping choices. I think the mac & cheese needs to be next up. Only realdrawback is parking, but it is Uptown after all. I also wished they delivered to St Louis Park!
(4)Bob D.
Stopped here today for a slice of plain cheese and I loved it. It reminded me of Stromboli in the East Village (the only thing they're really missing is the grease slick outside the front door). The crust was tasty with a nice, chewy bite (maybe just a millimeter or so too thick, but otherwise excellent) the sauce was good, and it was topped with just the right amount of cheese (maybe a tad too salty, but not bad). All-in-all, a nice, workmanlike slice of New York style pizza. I docked them one star for the tip cup on the counter. I don't care if they shoot Justin Bieber out of a cannon, hipster kids, a tip cup at a pizza joint is stupid. Who would I be tipping, exactly? The cashier? The pizza cook? The dishwasher? Nothing personal--I don't tip the teller at the bank or the cashier at the grocery store either.

When it comes to customer service in places like this I do not expect a lot. BUT after my encounter earlier today I was blown away. When my friend went up to pay, the worker tossed her credit card back to her. She made a joke about how it wasn't polite and he took her card again and THREW IT ACROSS THE RESTAURANT! Yes, he threw her card like frisbee and it landed in the corner of the dinning area. He played it off like a joke but I found this completely unacceptable and rude. The pizza was okay, but the horrible customer service ruined my chances of ever coming again.
(1)Scott P.
This place is a bit of a mixed bag. Decent pizza for the price, but delivery can be slow & the customer service on the phone can be spotty. So far, though, every delivery guy has been very friendly, with an interesting story to tell.
(3)Gaseous C.
Mesa Pizza is a nice little surprise for those of you looking for something different. Their prices may seem expensive -- $3.25 for a slice of sausage/pepperoni and $3.75 for a specialty pizza, but they're worth every penny. The slices are fairly substantial and if you bought two you'd be pretty full. Their specialty pizzas are simply to die for and dare I say, better than Pizza Luce. I'm now a fan. *update* Just a sidenote, they don't always have specific pizzas from their menu ready to serve. I've gone in on a couple of occassions looking to buy one of their specialty pizzas and they told me they had to make it (which would take an additional 10-15 min). It's a minor inconvenience in case you were in a hurry and looking for something in particular.
(4)Nick G.
Great place to grab a slice for a reasonable price. Mesa pizza has some of the most eclectic combinations of toppings like my personal favorite portobello, spinach and blue cheese. Staff is friendly though a little over the top hipster college student in nature. My only complaint is the lack of seating.
(5)Miguel S.
I would love this place so much more if you could get friendlier service when you're not a hipster. Otherwise tasty, original pizza.
(3)Brittany M.
The pizza is good, and the proximity to the bars is also a plus but the customer service at this place is terrible. I went with a couple of friends to get pizza the other night and after asking for a receipt the lady told my friend that they don't give out receipts. Come to find out, the next day I had been charged twice for the pizza. When I called the first time the lady told me that the manager was on break and "it shouldn't be much longer than an hour until he is back". Wow, I wish I could have over an hour break. Sounds like a rough job. She then took down my info and said the manager would call me back. 2 days later, no call yet. So I called again. Again, I asked if the manager was available. In a condescending, mocking tone I was told "he definately is not". She would not offer up any explanation, and again took my number. Still no call from the manager. I can easily resolve this issue with my credit card company as fraud but that doesn't change the poor customer service this place has. You have no place in the service industry if this is how you treat customers. Pizza Luce has better pizza anyways, I'll go the extra few blocks. Mesa pizza has lost my business.
(2)Magpie B.
I love Mesa, one of the best pizza places probably ever in the history of pizza places. The Uptown location is great, but parking is a real pain and they NEVER have my favorite slice, the vegetarian guacamole burrito! It drives me CRAZY! You guys need to step it up for us vegetarians, I'm tired of only having a few choices when I come in.
(4)Annie D.
I have been WAITING for this. It seemed like it might never happen, but it did. The cult of Ian's & Mesa has a new place to congregate in Uptown. I get why they started in Dinkytown first (college kids need their pizza), but it was always strange making a special trip after bar-time to go to campus for pizza. Not that I ever did that... Now, all my favorite slices are in a place that doesn't make me feel like an old granny. The Southern Gentleman (my fave), buffalo chicken, steak and fries, that one with roasted red pepper and kalamata olives, pesto chicken, southwest guac slices... they are all so good. The only part that still makes me feel like a granny is that I remember when Ian's slices were only $2.50 each in Madison. Those were the days! A gallon of gas was a nickel back then. I came here for lunch, and it wasn't busy inside. I'm sure the atmosphere is quite different late night. I was helped right away by two friendly guys and set myself up with some water and chowed down. This side of the street is notoriously sunny in the afternoon (like, it will burn your eyes), so bring some sunglasses if you're there during the day. Or at night, 'cause that's still cool, right? Other tips: They are open until 2 a.m. (I heard a rumor they are trying to work with the city to stay open later) and they deliver.

The alternative name of this place is "CLUTCH". It is the ultimate panacea for hunger pains whilst: a) Trying to get out of town- car packed, dog packed, have 10 minutes to eat SOMETHING and get on the road; b) Triumphing over Christmas shopping. It may have gone better than expected, but still took enormous energy, so much so that the very thought of cooking dinner could send you right off that stressy, pre-Christmas emotional cliff; and c) Looking for tasty things on bready crust. Things like avocados and black beans and cheese and potatoes and macaroni and hot sauce and fake meat and just. about. everything else you can think of. This place is cheap. Their food is high-quality. Their staff is cooler than you are. Go here.
(5)Keith F.
It's been awhile since I've found new food in Minneapolis that excited me this much, but this place hit the sweet spot. I've never had fresh Ian's in Madison but have heard much from my Badger Fiance. I always used to just think "yeah, yeah, I get it Ian's is good" but if it's anything like Mesa's I totally get it now. I had a slice of Burrito Chicken and a slice of Penne Chicken Alfredo. I don't think I've stopped talking about how good this place is since I finished the last bite. The only issues I had with this place is the awkward and not very inviting table space. A soda machine would also be nice as opposed to bottles/cans, but the food is enough for me to look passed that. The staff were nice. They reminded me of that show on Minneapolis Public Access with the people who dress up and dance around to weird music. I guess that adds to the ambiance though, and reminds you that you're in Uptown.
(5)Valued C.
pizza's good. service sucks!
(1)Lesley G.
I found this pizza place on yelp yesterday. Ate there and went back the very next day. The pizza options are so creative and delicious. I think the cheese makes it. My favorite is the penne pasta pizza. I would love to come here for the late night hours. The price is reasonable as well.
(5)Samantha T.
My husband and I split 3 slices. We got a philly cheese steak, bbq chicken and pineapple, and broccoli& cheese. They were really good and they have so many more that I want to try I will definitely go back!
(4)Bill L.
They touch everything with their bare hands. I asked what the pizza flavors were and the guy behind the counter proceeded to touch every single pizza while he told me what was on it. Then he grabbed my choice to put it in the oven. Also, I ordered a salad so he cut up an egg and yes, scooped it up with his bare hands, then grabbed a handful of croutons. Then, the guy is running the register and handling all the money too! I'm not a huge germophobe or anything but that's just not cool Mesa, not cool.
(1)Adam L.
As a paramedic who works evenings and nights, it's nice to know that there's a great place to grab a piece of pizza! The mac and cheese is great, the salami and pepperoni is out of this world, and the buffalo chicken is pretty darn tasty. Although it's kind of a dive and there's often a line, the food is worth the short wait. Don't expect to sit and dine in - the Uptown location is a little cramped. I can guarantee that my ambulance crew will make another stop here for our midnight snack.
(5)Sara O.
What started as Ian's Pizza in Madison (where I spent 6 fabulous college years) is taking over the Midwest. Their newest location now called Pizza Mesa in uptown is just as good as the rest. The seating is a bit limited but this pizza can be eaten in or taken out. The most difficult thing will be deciding on which slice you want. Some personal faves of mine: Philly cheesesteak, chicken quesadilla, and steak and fries. Mac and Cheese is also one of their more famous slices. Its a good thing I don't live right next door like I did the one in Madison or pizza would be my daily dinner!
(5)Ryan O.
Delicious slices of pizza. I love the "slice joint" atmosphere - just a few tables and some standing room: get in, get out, move on. They have some very interesting topping combinations and the crust and sauce - the foundation upon which all pizza is built and the first criteria when judging a pizza - were great. The crust is foldable and has a crispy bite without being too "crack-ery" and the sauce had a nice spice to it. Grab a slice for about $3 and enjoy life. I'm a fan and will definitely be back again and again.
(4)Joe W.
How does this not get a 5 star from everyone. Unless you hate great unique pizza or are bothered by waiting in line every once and awhile. So many great choices and just delicious pizza!!
(5)Andrea M.
Whenever I found myself in Dinkytown I would notice that the streets were occasionally littered with pizza slices in varying degrees of completion. One of these times I was walking to wherever I needed to go and thought I saw....macaroni and cheese...on a pizza. Surely my eyes had deceived me. It couldn't be possible that I'd spent time in Dinkytown and not been aware of an establishment that dared to put mac and cheese on a pizza? A couple years passed and I finally learned about Mesa Pizza and their famously unique toppings. The problem with Mesa was that, depending on the day, their pizza either sounded incredible or "meh". Sometimes the thought of too many rich toppings is unappetizing to me and, as luck would have it, the days where mac and cheese + pizza sounded awful were usually the days I happened to be around one of their locations. Yesterday the stars finally aligned and I was in uptown while having a craving for some serious calories. Seeing as I've never been to the Dinkytown location I can't make a comparison...but this one was nice. The gal working behind the counter was willing to rattle off all the available options but a labeling system would probably save everyone some time. There are lots of different choices including ample vegetarian options and the old stand-bys of plain cheese and pepperoni. I went with the "Southern Gentleman" (mashed potatoes, cheddar, bacon, cajun chicken)...but only because my bf was getting the mac and cheese and very kindly said that I could try some of his :) It was everything I'd hoped for. Pasta on pizza? Oh. It works. I wasn't as crazy about my choice...just seemed a bit bland...but hey, that's the beauty of Mesa. Don't like what you get? Come back and try something completely different next time. The slices are generous...I can't imagine eating more than one. Loved being able to grab a seat at the counter and people watch on Lake.
(4)Al J.
Only good for late night walks back to my haus. Preeza is always good after drinking. 2 stars for two reasons though. Order delivery twice, was super bland and grEEzy both times. Reason two, tall lady with short hair that works there. Always screams at me. "WHAT?!" "Are you actually saying something or just moving your mouth?" Thiz iz the thingz she yellz at me..... 4 real............GAAAWWWDD that pissed me off! She's always super unfriendly and short when I go in there. I love everyone else there. !!!HEY SHORT HAIRED LADY!!!! everyone thinks you're a totally meany and not very #swag, like you think you are. Just be nice, you are a pizza servant. Thanks everyone. One more thing, it is way way way too bright in there.
(2)Riely J.
I'm always looking for something fun and interesting to eat. When I heard that Mesa had mac and cheese, french fries, pickles, and honey mustard as options for pizza toppings, I decided that I had to stop in for a slice as they're located only steps from where I live. Once turned to twice, twice has turned into three times, and so-on. I can't stop returning at this point- I'm hooked! In the times that I've been there so far I've tried the Morlaya's Chicken (honey mustard, chicken breast, cheese, tomatoes), tortellini pesto (cheese tortellini, pesto, cheese), penne pesto (just like it sounds, plus cheese), mac and cheese (cheese sauce, elbow macaroni, melted cheeses), and pulled pork with pickles (pulled pork, BBQ sauce, red onion, pickles, cheese). I can't pinpoint what, exactly, it is that I love so much about this pizza! Their crust isn't phenomenal- quite literally nothing about it stands out. It's thin and and chewy and pretty flavorless, but the whole thing is perfectly suited to the junk-food toppings that they offer. Perhaps that's what makes it so awesome? The quality of their toppings aren't great but they're so much fun that that somehow totally makes up for it. Everything just tastes so great together! Perhaps that's the key to it all. This place combines flavors seamlessly and effortlessly and everything tastes so perfectly balanced. Every flavor combination is just incredible. If you're looking for shameful, disgustingly awesome pizza then please try Mesa. If you're not feeling particularly crazy, you can grab individual slices and if you are, you can order an entire pizza (they'll do half and half specialty pizzas so that you can try a couple of different kinds). I can't imagine that anything tastes bad on their menu. These people definitely know what they're doing.
(4)Candace V.
So so pizza. Awkward, uncomfortable ambiance - tables & chairs situated so strangely, I felt I was in the way. Wanted to get out fast. No basic amenities - ice (for my warm can of coke), straw, milk (for my shorty).
(2)Dannie F.
I don't think I've ever had a bad slice of pizza here. Prices are all solid as well. The only problem with this location is the fact that it closes at bar time on the weekends (2 AM). I don't understand this. I should be able to leave at bar time and pick up a delicious, piping hot slice of pizza. This needs to be fixed.
(4)Gaurav G.
Mac and Cheese. Chicken burrito. Spinach, feta and tomato. Black bean and cheese. Innovative and full of taste. Lots of fun. Don't miss the southwest sauce behind the counter - ask for it! In short, my favorite pizzeria in the Twin Cities.
(5)Valerie H.
Oh hey it's a Mesa Pizza. Looks just like...the Mesa Pizza in Dinkytown, minus some college students. Lots of tasty options, weird counter seating, and yes, it's staffed by stoners. Satisfies both a pizza and people-watching craving. Now that's one stop shopping.
(4)Cora M.
I ordered a pizza for delivery. It took a little over an hour for my pizza to be delivered, which I don't mind. I opened the box when it arrived to find out it wasn't even close to what I had ordered. I then called back to let them know. The man on the phone was very sincere about apologizing, but it took me another hour to receive the pizza I originally ordered in the first place. Total wait time: about 2 hours. A tip to the kitchen workers...don't rush your crap and pay attention to your orders! Not a pleasant experience!
(2)Dave R.
I visited the Lake Street (Uptown) location on a Sunday quite by accident while out for a walk and hungry for lunch at the time, and glad I did. I was impressed with the variety of pizzas they had available by the slice. Had a slice of their taco pizza (packed with taco and veggie toppings) and a slice of standard-issue pepperoni, and both were delicious - well seasoned and not bland like so many other Minnesota pizzas, and a nice NY style crust that stands up to the scrutiny of this native New Yorker reviewer. I also returned a couple of weeks later and had one of the best slice of pizza I've ever tried: Potato, cheddar, and blackened cajun chicken.
(5)Jon G.
So excited they got one closer to me now in UPTOWN!! Staff is always there to help and explain all the toppings. Mac and cheese pizza-PHENOMENAL!! Love this place..great pizza and chillax atmosphere!
(5)Zak H.
First couple times here were a good experience. I had the Spicy Chicken Burrito then I think Southwest Taco. They cook their pizzas a little less time than I would prefer but that makes the leftovers from the largest size even better when they are reheated in the toaster oven. The third time, I had the Chicken Penne Alfredo, which unfortunately had a distinct taste of mold. I could not eat it. Disappointing because there were a lot more options on their menu I wanted to try but will not be going back. Maybe by the slice is better, but I would recommend elsewhere for a full pie with the plethora of great pizza places (Dulono's, Luce, Galactic) in Uptown.
(2)Jeffery G.
Pretty great stuff! This so called pizza really hits the spot with some real creative treats! Gyro on a pizza slice! Very tasty and crispy crust. I have tried several different slices and they have all been tasty!
(4)Jenny J.
Unless you want to eat a plate of grease i sugest not eating MESA! THE WORST PIZZA I HAVE EVER HAD. They gave a refund so i'll give it two stars! My dog wouldn't even eat that stuff! ICk
(1)Joey K.
Thank you, Mesa, for being alive. I was hammered drunk in Minneapolis and being from Green Bay, no idea where anything was. All i knew is that i wanted a burrito. Next thing i know, i have to settle for pizza. HELL NO, they have burrito pizza. Settling no more! Good god this stuff was delicious. I literally had 3 pieces and almost fell asleep (passed out) on the security guard. Please keep your awesomeness and continue being awesome. One love. #nomz #minneapolis #nomzz
(5)Elizabeth R.
While I was eating this yesterday, it occurred to me this was the first time in ten years I'd ever had Mesa Pizza sober. From my college days partying at The Library and then stumbling down to Mesa in Dinkytown to the present, I have never had a slice of this pizza while sober. I think that's probably true for a lot of the clientele. Mesa is just where you go when you're drunk, man. So anyway, I had this pizza yesterday, and it was still good. But it wasn't amazing, like my drunk memories would imply. It was a little watery, and the crust was exceptionally thin to the point where I was a little concerned my BBQ chicken would just fall through the middle of the slice. All told, it's certainly still good enough and not that expensive for what you get, but it's definitely way, way better when hammered. This will still be my go-to drunk food.
(3)Jessica S.
Well, abruptly opting to put a kibosh on this love affair. I'd had innumerable late night rendezvous with Mesa. Never once a dry encounter in the broad daylight. Until today. And I finally experienced the Mesa that so many others have known all along. Mediocre pizza that is leagues behind NY-style pizza - abominable to think I'd ever drawn a parallel here. Under-cooked doughy crust, watery, flavor-deprived sauce, gloppy cheese. The ranch dressing on the side is downright repulsive when your gag reflexes are not subdued by intoxicants. And the service is far from peachy. All in all, this place is really unpalatable. I'll be back at 2am.

This place is awesome! So many delicious pizzas to choose from. Prices are great and the service is friendly. I heart Mesa :) P.s. If you get a pizza delivered you can order half and half specialty pizzas!!

This place is decent. It's open late and you buy by the slice which is nice for a quick bite. Pizza isn't great but if your hungry at 1am what do you expect

This place is great when you're hammered by and need food but when you're sober it's mediocre at best. Definitely do not get the taco pizza its nasty

So glad to find this place in Uptown! I was obsessed with Ian's in Chicago and this is the same thing. Nothing better then a good mac and cheese, bbq steak and fries and so many other good slices.

Why has no one told me about this place?! Wonderful. I've only gone for their pizza by the slice, but it was perfect. The pizza varieties are awesome, lots of unique stuff, as well as some really fresh classics. The slices are large and they put them in the toaster so that they get crispy. Mmm. Priced between $3.00-$3.50, its a killer, fast, delicious deal.

Good pizza when you're on the way home from a night of heavy drinking... Terrible pizza any other time of day.

Extremely overpriced for how much you get. This is really a place where you find yourself at 2am bar close.

Reminded me of a late night pizza joint in indianapolis. Good pizza. Terrible bouncer dude that was hot headed and didn't want us to eat in house.

We go here... a lot. One of the more affordable places to get a quick, delicious bite to eat in this area. We have also gotten pizzas delivered from Mesa, which is a delicious treat! Good selection of veggie pizzas. I do wish they had the avocado and vegan pizzas available as often as the location in Dinkytown.
