Name: Punch Pizza

Meal: Italian Salad, Neapolitan Pizza, and a Coke
Type: Pizza
If you would have asked me where I would find great pizza, pizza worthy of note by the Italian government, Minneapolis/St.Paul would have been just about at the bottom of any list I could come up with. As it turns out the Twin Cities is home to a great group of pizzerias called Punch Pizza. Punch is quick to draw attention to themselves as having been designated by the Italian government as Denominazione di Origine Controllata (D.O.C.). The designation means that only certain ingredients are used and it is made to very specific standards. Having eaten Margherita pizza in Naples, Italy I can say that this is quite authentic pizza and delicious to boot. There are few differences between the Twin Cities and beautiful seaside Naples but the pizza is fairly dead-on, and delicious.
