Punch Neapolitan Pizza...

Not a big fan. Ate there a while back with my wife. I understand what they are trying to do, it just doesn't suit my pizza desires. I want a big wheel of cheese coated goodness, and that is decidedly not the aim at Punch. The wood fired oven that they use is quite interesting, though I wonder what it does to the air temp of the restaurant during the summer. It cooks the pizza in something like 90 seconds, and it runs at something like 800+ degrees F. The oven is huge, and is the focal point of the entire restaurant. They built the oven, and then the rest of the store around it. I especially disliked their tomato sauce they use instead of pizza sauce. I understand what they are doing, making a traditional Neapolitan style pizza, but I don't like it nontheless. I appreciate that there are other people who do like this type of pizza, and have included a counter review below. One good thing about Punch's pizza is that it is fairly healthy compared to other pizzas.

Twin Cities Restaurant's Review:
Punch Neapolitan Pizza

This is an old favorite and an appropriate way to start things out. The food is excellent and the price is reasonable. Punch makes pizza in the Neapolitan style with an authentic wood fired oven. The oven is so hot that the pizza only takes a few minutes to cook. Pizzas are about the size of a large plate, and are just right for one person. The light, thin crust and sparse toppings make it the perfect meal. There are only a few authentic Neapolitan pizza places in the United States, and Punch is one of them. If you're eating on the cheap, skip drinks and appetizers and enjoy a great meal for $10/person. If you're feeling more liberal, have a glass of wine and one of their superb appetizers. The mozzarella and tomatoes or the Punch salad are two favorites. Top things off with a nice Espresso. The service is usually good at Punch, but could use a little improvement sometimes.
