Pizza Biga

This is one of our favorite spots! We tend to sit outside which is a must in Minnesota. The service is efficient and we usually have our pizza quickly! We love to split the Biga - I love toppings but my daughter doesn't so it's a great way for me to get extra toppings. We love to get there by walking or biking and grab ice cream next door at Pumphouse after--or sometimes before!

Absolutely loved this little pizza shop! We were going to see a show at the parkway and grabbed some dinner before! The place is tiny so highly recommend going during the week or on a slower day to ensure you could get a table! The staff was so kind and the food came out so quickly! The pizza dough is incredible (probably due to the fact it's attached to Turtle Bread Company). The pizza is wood fired and had so much flavor! Simple yet delicious. This seems like the perfect place for a date night! Parking is only available on the street but we had no problem finding some close by! Can't wait to go back!

Im ready to give up on finding decent pizza in MN. I had high hopes for this place. Alas, they are as bad as everyone else in this state.

Our youngest wanted pizza and ice cream so Pizza Biga was a perfect location in our neighborhood because right next door is Pumphouse Creamery. We got there about 45 minutes before closing and didn't think we could still dine in but to our surprise the server was still serving. The dining inside was empty and it was super hot yesterday so we stuck with A/C for indoor dining and got to pick wherever we wanted to sit. It was great because we got a table for six by the window. Our food came right out and didn't have to wait very long. When we were almost done, there was a line at Pumphouse Creamery so the server said that we didn't have to be in a rush and can take our time to finish up. The pizza crust is like eating an Indian naan bread, crispy on the edges act soft in the middle. Just how I like to enjoy my pizza. The pizza size is like a personal size pizza but could be shareable. But I think I could have finished the whole pizza if I didn't need to save room for ice cream. The pizza dough is so light and fluffy that I didn't feel bloated at the end where I felt like I ate too much. This is probably my third time here. Great pizzas for a reasonable price and it's local. Definitively will be back again. They two beers on tap otherwise there's a wine list.

In south Minneapolis, in the quaint neighborhood of Chicago Ave is this fabulous pizza shop! Pizza Biga had an amazing selection of pizzas- we settled on the Bianca and Dan's Balsamic pizza with artichoke dip as an appetizer. It started out wonderfully and just continued through every dish. LOVE this place!!!

I ordered a.glass of red wine.....and s sausage pizza. First of all, the "sausage" looked like fly crap. No meaty nuggets of sausage....just some kind of sausage "smears". And SALTY? OMG! I use too much salt....so when I say "too salty".....you know it was inedible! Wine good, but way overpriced. .... it's a Biga FLOP!! Save your money.

Yum! First pizza here, and definitely won't be the last. We picked up 3 wood fired pizzas here plus a tasty mixed greens salad. All 3 of us were perfectly happy with our meal including the veggie (red sauce, mushroom, red onion, pickled peppers, mozzarella), pepperoni (red sauce, pepp, mozz), and Biga pizza (red sauce, mushrooms, capicola, red onion, pickled peppers, mozz). The crust was nicely fired, toppings plentiful, cheese melty, and portion size was definitely bigger than personal size. We would have had plenty with just 2 pies, but the leftovers were happily devoured for another yummy meal.

After a failed attempt to get something from Turtle Bread (they don't really offer much after lunch hours end), I decided to try out the pizza here. While the restaurant itself is pleasant enough, I was rather disappointed by the pizza.The staff on the Pizza Biga side were attentive and quick to prepare my order, so that was wonderful! If I end up eating here again in the future, I'll have to try something else. I got a Margherita pizza and found the texture of the crust to be chewy with an adequate amount of firmness to it. The sauce was more on the bland side and that was a bit unfortunate. Even some crushed red pepper flakes didn't help the flavor much. The ingredients seemed fresh though, so that was a plus. I'm curious as to whether having a different pizza with more ingredients would change my mind. Unfortunately, there are so many fantastic pizza places in the Twin Cities. This one just didn't stand out to me.

I was with a group of friends recently when the topic of best Twin Cities pizza came up. One was adament that the best without question was to be found at Pizza Biga. I hadn't heard of this place and I asked him what kind of za they served. He replied: "Neopolitan." I said that I thought Punch serves an outstanding Neopolitan style pizza. He quickly and emphatically asserted that Biga was "orders of magnitude" better. I said that was placing the bar awfully high. He backed off just slightly to say that maybe it was only one order of magnitude better.In any case, expectations were lofty the other day as three of us swung by to give this place a try. It turned out to be a perfect spring evening (what? no freezing temps and blowing snow?) and we lucked out by finding an open table on the sidewalk in front. Turns out to have been a very pleasant corner to enjoy al fresco dining.I ordered the Bianca - olive oil-picholine green olives-fresh mozzarella-basil-chili oil ($14) together with a small Caesar Salad. The pizza served in a wide, shallow pasta bowl. As a result, the ingredients in the center had pooled at the bottom making for a soft, gooey bite. However, the outer crust, overhanging the bowl was perfectly blistered and had a very appealing, smokey taste and wonderful texture. Anyway, I just pushed the sqaushy, delectable, high quality ingredients from the tip of each slice toward the edge and savored every morsel. This is very. very good pizza. Bonus, I had a few slices to take home for later enjoyment.Now, was this establishment orders of magnitude (or an order of magnitude) better than Punch? In my mind I might give Biga a slight nod but it could just be due to the influence of recency. The next time I'm at Punch I may well rate them a bit ahead. But why quibble? I don't think you can go wrong at either place. Service was warm and gracious. Plenty of on street parking available.

This was a just by chance encounter. My wife had to stop over around here to drop something off for a friend and she asked us if we wanted to have one of the best pizzaz we've ever had. I said ok. I've been told this same thing about other places that wound up not being to case. This time, she was right! This place is great. I was already having a good day. But this meal made it a great day! Highly recommend this place. 110%!I've tried Pizza just about everywhere in the US. Chicago always had the reputation that wherever you go, that'll be the best pizza you've ever had. I've been to Chicago a million times. And No, that's not true at all. I've had pizza in Chicago that was pretty bad. Like, Tortino frozen pizza bad. And I've had pizza that I still dream about today. This place is now one of the places I'll remember and stop in when I'm craving a pizza.
