Pizza Shark

I've ordered from here in the past and absolutely loved it and decided to come back now that it's reopened and under new management! My partner picked up the pizzas and chatted with the new owners and said they're very kind. I was really hoping this would be close to what I use to get here but it didn't live up to my expectations. I've always gotten the margarita pizza and loved how crisp and light it was. This time around it was disappointing. The crust didn't have that crunchy and chewy leopard colored edge that most wood fired pizzas have. The taste just wasn't there, I'm not sure what it was missing but it seemed quite greasy and I couldn't get past that. We also ordered the sharks truffle mac n cheese pizza and the flavor was good but a bit heavy and didn't match the online photo. The crust again just wasn't what we were expecting. It's pretty flat and chewy. With it being newly opened I'm hoping things will change up and I can try again another time!

Pizza shark opened again in Sept 2024! They are probably still trying to get the place up and running, because the pizzas aren't quite as good as they used to be. Both pizzas I ordered were overcooked - hard and crunchy. But I'm sure they'll be better after they have more time!

We were really craving pizza to go with our beers at home on our Sat night in but wasn't sure if ordering via DoorDash would be worth it- because you know sometimes pizza doesn't travel well, at least this style pizza IMO. We were so close to not ordering but I'm so glad we did! The pizzas were so good and definitely hit the spot! I'm a huge fan of wood fire or thin crust pizza. I like how I could have the whole pizza with a beer and still don't feel so bloated or liked I over stuffed my face. Definitely ordering again soon!

Pizza Shark is a casual spot that has one vegan pizza and even offers mockmeats!I got the vegan sausage and pepperoni pizza ($16) and enjoyed it. The sausage and pepperoni both tasted great (I think the pepperoni was local from Herbivorous Butcher, but I'm not 100% certain); the vegan cheese was a food service (non-retail) brand called Plantings (maybe made by Violife?) which had a dry starchiness but still tasted and melted pretty well. I would have preferred Herbivorous Butcher, Violife or Follow Your Heart for the cheese, but theirs was fine.The crust was light and nicely done.I wish they put more sauce on the pie, though. That was the one issue.Other than that, the service was really friendly and the price reasonable for the quality of the food. If Pizza Shark added a vegan dessert (how about tiramisu or cheesecake?) and a vegan fried chicken sandwich, I'd be by more often. If you're looking for other good vegan pizza options in the area, Pizza Luce and Fire & Nice Alehouse (both on Lyndale) are your other choices.

The wait seemed longer than the 15-20 minutes we were told. Maybe we were hungry. Maybe it was really long. I think it was really long. There were quite a few to-go (door-dash type) pick-ups during our wait. But the pizza was great!!!After visiting Como Zoo in St Paul the next day, our daughter was hungry for pizza, and suggested Pizza Shark. Since the pizza was good, and that's what she wanted PLUS with Sebastian Joe's being down the street, we returned to Pizza Shark. We received the pizza in a reasonable time for pizza. The pizza was consistent... just as delicious!!!!

We were staying in a hotel in downtown and were looking for a pizzeria where it had good reviews and didn't cost an arm and a leg to park. We're so happy to find Pizza Shark. Free parking lot and on-street parking. Freshly renovated a couple of years ago. Wood fired pizza. Wine and beer. Friendly service. All the boxes were checked. It was so good that we went back for the second night in a row. They do a lot of DoorDash pickups, but don't miss out and go there on your own.

The staff are so nice and the food was so good i. Highly recommend the wood fire pizza that they have

Food was excellent! I love real full-size wings and wood fired pizza crust is oh so good! Food was 6 out of 5 stars. Delivery service was less than stellar at best. I ordered using Yelp at 7:30 PM, got an email confirming order would be in 40-60 minutes, that is the last I heard from them. I called at 8:30 PM to check on the status of my order and was told it was delivered at 8:12 PM. It's 20 degrees outside, food was cold. Delivery driver never rang doorbell, or notified me the order was delivered. GrubHub customer service only offered to remove the tip, not the service charges for the delivery. GrubHub failed to deliver your delicious hot food to me, this is a service you chose to contract instead of hiring your own dedicated driver. I thought you should know what you are paying GrubHub for, not much in my opinion.

New ownership at Pizza Shark. Very nice young married couple who hopefully enjoy a lot of success. Caeser salad was excellent. Wood fire oven baked pizza Margherita was really good. Not sure if they stick to the Neapolitan style. The Beignets for dessert are incredible!!! Terrific friendly service and attention. Very clean and disciplined restaurant. Check it out and enjoy!

Stopped by on a Saturday night- was quiet (which was our goal, didn't feel like loud crowded) and food/service were both great. New owners as of fall 2024. Best vegan sausage I've had.
