Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza

We stopped by for a late-night bite, but the experience was underwhelming from the start. The host didn’t make us feel welcome—when we mentioned possibly sitting at the bar, she just walked away without saying anything. We ordered a build-your-own pizza, half Hawaiian and half with sausage, onions, garlic, mushrooms, green peppers, basil, and black olives (which were missing). The 12” pizza was fine, but the Hawaiian was good probably because of the rounded slide pineapples. The eggplant dip was surprisingly cold, which was unexpected, and the bread slices were too thin, making it difficult to scoop the dip. For $48 before tip, the experience and food didn’t feel worth the price. Likely wouldn’t return.

The pizza is amazing! A 12in has the perfect size for one person and a 16in is perfect for sharing. They allow you to split flavors in half, which allows for great flexibility and an even better taste experience. You can do the same for build your own. The service and ambiance is amazing! In my opinion a great spot for a date or to start a girls night out off well.

Great pizza! Persian beef was slightly spicy and full of flavor, definitely recommend. The wings are full size so that makes it more worthwhile, but still felt a bit overpriced. Draft root beer was also delicious. Would definitely come back here again.

Great pizza, even if you’re Gluten-free or dairy-free! Atmosphere is great (at Christmas it’s decorated really well!) and pizza is amazing. Our server was so great too! You can get half pies so I got half of the #11 (Persian beef, harissa) which was amazing and had a kick to it but wasn’t too spicy. Such a good middle eastern twist on a classic pizza. I also got #13 (ricotta, goat cheese, lemon, basil) which was good but not as flavorful as the other, it’s pretty subdued with the lemon and fluffy cheeses. My husband got GF crust with Vegan Cheese and pepperoni and said it was really good crust and liked the big thin pepperonis! Can’t wait to go back!

Went an hour before closing ordered drinks. Not pictured Montenegro ‘cocktail’ was one of the tastiest drinks. For appetizers we ordered the lemon-thyme chicken skewers, came with a side of giaediniera mix; shared skewers with another person. For pizza we got the #5 Fennel sausage, hot salami, onion, & cracked green olive (added mushroom) 12” pizza to share with 3 people. The server and bartender were super sweet when taking our order and helping us choose cocktails we’d like. They weren’t rushing us out, we also ate and left by the time they officially closed.

My friend wanted me to try Minnesota's version of my state's best dish. I'm usually wary of pizza beyond my own area. Black Sheep didn't disappoint. Now we stop in every time I visit. Good food and great staff

Went here for dinner and the food was so delicious. The drinks are definitely on the pricier side but the Pizzas are to die for. We sat outside which doesn't have the best atmosphere since you're not in front of the restaurant but next to it, in a little side street so it gets a little empty.

It was okay. I’d come back if my friends wanted to but probably wouldn’t pick it myself. I wouldn’t order the same things either. I’d like to think I’m not fussy. I like standard basic foods and it’s disappointing when restaurants don’t deliver. The pepperoni pizza was just “alright.” The crust is super thin and on its own tastes like a cracker, very bland and dry. The sauce had a good tomato flavor but that’s it, a little bit on the sweeter side. There was barely any cheese on the pizza and it was unevenly distributed so some slices had good coverage and others were almost bare. The pepperoni was pretty good, no real complaints other than being maybe excessively greasy. The peach cobbler was not good. The flavor was okay, nothing special except the slivered almonds they sprinkle on top. The cobbler part was slimy- it is a cake based cobbler not a biscuit based cobbler. The crust was a little burnt on the side. The service was ~okay~. I came by myself, around 640pm on a Monday. I think I was the only 1-person table there, so I get why I wouldn’t be a server’s first priority. (I’ve been a server myself so I really do understand). However, only one check up and that was immediately after the food was delivered. Nothing after that until they suggested they would bring the check. Where’s the up-sell? I probably would have ordered another drink and flagged down another server when I decided to get the cobbler. No refills on my water. It took almost 20 minutes for the 12-inch pepperoni pizza to be delivered to my table and about 15 minutes for the cobbler. This place seems popular for groups. You order multiple small pizzas, they’re delivered on tiered stands, and you share. However, it’s *incredibly* loud. With the industrial vibe (bare concrete and exposed beams and pipes), there is absolutely nothing dampening sound. There’s an open kitchen and open door into the dish washing room. All of this combined to a very unpleasant sound environment. It was fairly expensive for what it is. $35. I got one of the cheapest drinks, cider, and the cocktails are at least double the price. If you’re coming here and having more than one drink, sharing multiple pizzas, maybe ordering dessert, expect to shell out. I had no trouble finishing it all on my own. Granted, I missed lunch so was very hungry. For comparison, I usually struggle to finish a burrito bowl, so this food isn’t very substantial.

Every time my son is at Children's for treatment he demands we order from Black Sheep. Even when be has no appetite for other foods he will scarf down a Black Sheep pie.

We ordered takeout from this Black Sheep location. The pizza was horrific, much worse than the last time. The only solace was the woman on the phone, and serving the front broke the world's record for saying more "perfects" in the least amount of time. It was remarkable. "My name is Philip." "Perfect!" "I want a cheese and pepperoni." "Perfect!" "I lost my eye in the war." "Perfect!" "My dog has rabies." "Perfect!" She should be on permanent display at the Smithsonian.

MINI PIZZAS made whatever you like Drinks are available if you want one Alcoholic and non

Went late night on a Saturday right before they closed for the night. I was surprised they served drinks & food right up until closing. We had a decent sized group to where they had to combine tables for us. The staff were nice & super attentive. Almost everyone ordered pizza & a few ppl ordered drinks. Everything came out pretty quick. I like that they weren't pushy or upset that we were there so close to closing time (we did leave before official closing). I personally only ordered a slice of cheese pizza, it was good.

Very good wood fired pizza! Great service! Great selection of beer, wine and cocktails. Nice selection of pizza options but build your own if needed. We also tried the meatball appetizer and it definitely tasted like grandma's! Highly recommend!

Tried take out for a couple pizzas and they were delicious! We tried the oyster mushroom, smoked mozzarella, rosemary and garlic and the Persian beef with tomato, feta, and harissa. Excited to go back to the other items on the menu. Service was quick and easy to pick up.

I love black sheep! We ordered from Uber eats, as one is not close to us. We love the mushroom pizza it's always a must order for us, it does not need a sauce, with all the umami from the mushrooms and fresh garlic you won't even miss the meat. We had the fennel and sausage pizza as well, great pizza, another favorite is the meatball and ricotta pizza. I suggest getting a few 12in pies to try several of their combos. The Stormking wings are a must try, perfectly smoked, moist and nice crisp on the skin. If your not close to a black sheep, Uber eats is a great option or grab some as your going through the air port.

Was torn about where to order dinner from on my last night in Minneapolis, and, since I had a craving for pizza, opted for Black Sheep after seeing it recommended a couple times. I can't really speak to the ambience of the restaurant itself (I ordered for delivery via DoorDash), but the pizza didn't really impress me. Maybe my expectations were too high after seeing it recommended multiple times? No idea. Either way, my "build your own" pizza (fennel sausage, feta, golden pineapple, oyster mushrooms, and kalamata olives) + chop salad with dressing on the side arrive pretty promptly... but I was kind disappointed on the cook on the pizza. The middle seemed undercooked, and the crust was way too crunchy (there was none of that "chew" that's so delightful when biting into a well-made, coal-fired pizza). Also, the fennel sausage didn't really seem to have much of any flavor? So sad. Now, maybe the fact that I ordered pineapple on my pizza will mean a good portion of folks dismiss this review entirely (and you know what? #SorryNotSorry ), but the pizza from Black Sheep just didn't live up to the hype I saw online. I had ordered from a different pizza place while in Minneapolis as well, and I should have just ordered from them again. Hindsight is 20/20 though, amirite?

Always a stellar experience. The pizza crust has the perfect crispness and a bit of smokiness and the toppings, sauce, and cheese, slaaaaay. Did the hot honey, smoked chicken, red onions, and pickled peppers pizza. Chefs, flipping, kiss. I want and need more. Like tomorrow, and the day after, and day after that. Also tried the half spicy lamb sausage on arugula... why. Why was it so good. Made it this far and have never been? Go do yourself a favor and indulge in some flavor - from black sheep. Thank me later.

Food was mediocre for the price and was very slow. Service was mediocre, no check ins. Was seated next to dishes so was quite loud

Gtfo if you're not obsessed with this food. I came in thinking pizza only, but the appetizers are to be desired just as much, if not more. Our service was great, just easy and friendly with nice employees. The entrance is a bit confusing, as it's inside another building. Once you get in, it's chill pizza vibes with a full bar. My favorite part- I know, crazy to say, but the oven roasted veggies. Holy moly, get it. Nice hot veggies (mushrooms, cherry tomato. Red potato, onion) with feta cheese and peppery arugula. The chicken skewer was out of this world too. Perfectly cooked, charred, dark meat chicken. My pizza was so good. They have premade, unique and fun pizza and a build your own options. Mine was basically a spicy cheese. We all got our own pizzas and everyone was obsessed. Toppings are nice and thinly sliced, chewy but thin crust. I think, lastly, I'd recommend eating in. I'd hate for someone to not get the full experience of the fresh and hot food with delivery.

It's been awhile since we've eaten here - so glad we went back. The pizza is amazing! Had a large pep and the house salad. Coal fire tends to get things a little more done than I prefer however this had just the right amount of char. The pepperoni is so tasty and cut paper thin. Oh so good! Service was good and for a Sat night we got right in. Things that didn't go so well...parking, always an issue in this area. Bathroom was out of toilet paper. Cancelled our last round of drinks because they were taking forever. Ordered them while we were still eating and were still waiting after our left overs were boxed up and ready to go. Not sure what the issue was but our server happily removed them from our bill. If you like Mule type drinks- the MN Mule is delightful!

I used to really like Black Sheep, but last time we went it didn't hit for me like it used it. Prices were a lot higher than before, we ordered the 12 inch oyster mushroom pizza and it was $20 w/o tax and tip. This one in particular had a strong thyme taste which I thought was over powering the mushrooms, so I wouldn't recommend it to folks that want a more mushroom taste. We also got the fennel sausage pizza and that was really good, I liked the green olives in it a lot. Ultimately, I think there are other pizza places in MN that I prefer more nowadays and are more affordable.

Alright, I may be the odd man out here - but I've been here a couple times because the North Loop is the hip spot to go out these days. I've sampled many a pizza, and I know that I'm buying into the location and the overall vibe of the neighborhood when I came here. If its date night (like it was for me) then its totally worth it. Definitely will impress the right person you take out. For me - I judge restaurants a lot on where I'd go alone or order takeout. The pizzas were just a little off my radar. Sure I trend towards the traditional pizza, but I also have dipped my toes in some pretty awesome specialty za's in my time. What can I say, "I've had better" and for less... If you are a coal fired connoisseur that likes a fancier foofoo pizza - enjoy and disregard my commentary!

Dive bar that serves pizza. It's nothing fancy, neither is the pizza but it hits the spot. It's pretty dimly lit so you can dress super casual haha It was also unusually warm inside the day we went so that did detract from the experience. Our waitress was very nice and service was punctual. We ordered the marinated veggies on skewers which was quite good and came with 2 skewers for 2 people. We ordered the cheese garlic and chili pizza which doesn't come with sauce and it was definitely lacking some sauce- a white garlic sauce would have been perfect. The chili isn't spicy at all but there is crushed red pepper at the table to sprinkle. The tomato, green pepper and olives were better but I don't know if they needed the cherry tomatoes. The crust in general was not my favorite- felt like frozen pizza dough that was cooked in a coal fired pizza oven. Definitely not a great pizza for takeout, it is best hot. It's a perfectly fine spot if you just want a casual spot for pizza and beer but it's definitely not the best pizza in town. I'll keep hunting!

Pizza is really good. I'd rate this as a date spot not just a pizza joint. Kind of fancier pizzas but they are delicious

You ever have a meal that from the first bite you knew you were going to love everything? That was our experience at Black Sheep recently and the only question I had was why did it take so long for us to return to this spot. We started with bread and marinara dip. The combination of warm, freshly baked bread and the flavorful marinara sauce was simply delicious. You may think you only need the bread but you don't. You NEED the marinara too. For our pizza selections we tried the meatball ricotta pizza and the pepperoni. Both were amazing. Both we're full of toppings, but still light and easy to eat, and bursting with flavor. We almost finished everything, but luckily had a few pieces left to take home and extend the experience. I have to mention that the service was also great. Moses was our waiter and he made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He was friendly and attentive. Black Sheep Pizza is a top pizza spot in Minneapolis!

Ordered takeout from Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza and it was phenomenal! I had a 12" pizza with sausage and basil. I also got the Caesar salad which was really good, the dressing was exceptional. Parking is not the easiest but there is a decent amount of street parking nearby. Definitely will be back!

The pizza was amazzzzing. I am huge on ingredients!!!! I am definitely one of those people who loves to eat QUALITY. We ordered the wings although we don't usually like wings. We are from California and were told we had to try them! Glad we did! Definitely amazing!!

Mm pizza! We got the #14 with hot honey, smoked chicken, and red onions. Their gluten free crust is really good and I did not get sick from any cross contamination. The gluten free crust adds on 6 dollars and I think that's way more than it should which is frustrating. Black Sheep is a cool restaurant but can get noisy with how open it is. Leave time to find parking because it's in a busy area with only street parking. Still a great restaurant with good service as well.

Spectacular pie. Best pizza in Minnesota hands down. Crispy and delicious. Highly recommend.

Black sheep has delicious pizza and a nice ambiance. The lights are dim which I loved and the place is big and set up nicely. We ordered a half and half pizza to try two types of pizzas and we were able to add on pineapple. Although i'm usually against pineapple on pizza, the combination with the garlic and cheese was delicious! We also tried the peach cobbler and it was amazing! The service was quick and it was not too busy for lunch time.

The pizza was sooo good! Coal fired makes a huge difference. The crust was crisp, but not dried out. And the pepperonis were so tasty! I went with a friend for a late lunch so the restaurant wasn't too busy at 3pm, which was nice. No wait and hot food, sign me up! Will definitely be back!

Hey Travoodies Hey. I wrapped up a awesome collaboration with @BlackSheepPizza. Lets talk about it... Ambiance and Location! Nestled in the North Loop area this cozy pizza spot was definitely one for the books. When I entered the restaurant it gave me family game night or good friends hanging vibes. He was super cozy. I particularly like the wood feel of the booths and tables. A little history! Two eager individiuals, one classical trained chef and the other a lawyer embarked to bring a vision to life. In the middle of 2008 recession, where banks "didn't have a appetite for a restuarant" these owners knew they had something special. With the help of family and friends Black Sheep Pizza was birthded. Through many ups and downs, this establishment still thrives for over 15 years with two locations. What a family owned business. The Service! I connected with Rachal and John during my recent visit. Rachal started my order but was ending her shift for the day. Her pleasant demeanor was everything. She definitely knows the menu and offered some great suggestions. John picked up and did not miss a beat. His spirit is pleasant as well. Super helpful staff and very inviting. If you go visit make sure to ask for them and tell them I sent you. The Food! I started with the Beef Steak Skewer. I do not know what I expected. However, when the skewers came to the table I had no doubt they were going to be delicious. The tendorness of the beef was everything. Along side th skewers came this pickled (good heat) veggies that honestly I could not get enough of. This is now a staple for me when I return to Black sheep. Next, I went with a 12 inch half and half pizza. Black Sheep Pizza just lauched a new menu so my pizza consisted of half new pizza and half of what they have been serving. One side held Bacon, Golden Pineapple & Dried Chili Pepper, while the other held Hot Honey, Smoked Chicken, Red Onion & Pickled Peppers. I definitely went in on this pizza. The flavors are amazing and blend together perfectly. The pizza came with the right amoumt of sauce, the pefect amount of cheese and the right crunch to the crust. Then to wrap up the eat I had dessert. Now I know I was told the ice cream is everything but I was not prepared. This chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream was the best ice cream sandwich I had in a long time. Two deliciously baked chocolate chip cooks squeezing together vanilla ice cream top with powder sugar was the explosive ending to amazing meal. Its A Must TRY!! My overall experience was nothing short of amazing and I can not wait to return. #TheTravoodie#BlackFoodie #YelpEats #BlackTraveler #TravelInfluencer #blacktravelblogger #blacktravelfeed #globaleats #FoodBlogger #travelblogger #eatnorthamerica #globaleats #flavorfulfoodiez #theloserfam ** @thetravoodie on IG, FB & TikTok #HeyTravoodies

Writing this review makes me want to order a pizza from Black Sheep right away- mouthwatering goodness that's consistently delicious. We dine here often, and it's easily our favorite pizza joint in the Twin Cities. Our favorite thing is the gluten-free crust, crunchy and cooked to crisp perfection. Our other favorite things is the generous, fresh and flavorful toppings. We always try something new, and have never been disappointed. If I had to pick, the fennel sausage one is my obvious preference. The pizza heats up great the next day, so you're never at risk of over ordering! Service at both locations is impeccable.

As far as pizza goes in Minnesota, Black Sheep pizza is a standout. On a chilly winter night this pizza will warm your soul. Very friendly and attentive service. Good vibes overall. I had a cheese pizza, which was solid. The crust was cooked very well. Some nice color. Slightly floppy bite. The cheese on this was very good. The sauce was a tad bit sweet. If I lived here I'd definitely return. Matter of fact, I'd be a regular.

Black Sheep is great to grab for a lakeside picnic! I got a fennel sausage pizza with a seasonal salad. Service is quick, but the entrance is a bit hard to find and the spot for to-go orders is separate from the main restaurant.

Rocker/Emo vibes. The Pinot noir tasted like vinegar, which means it was likely old. The Caesar salad was not well dressed and had little shards of hard bread instead of croutons. Asked them to sub jalapeños for olives on a pizza and they brought out a pizza with raw jalapeños with seeds on it. There should have been a warning label. I couldn't even enjoy my food because my mouth was on fire after the first bite.

Yummy chocolate chip cookie sandwich. Cookie is a little hard (obviously frozen), could be puntual to sensitive mouths.

Food: This is the worst pizza I have ever had in my life. I ordered a 12-inch number 14 pizza with the hot honey. The pizza crust was 80% burnt and inedible. The hot honey sauce was very overpowering and not hot at all. The sweet flavor of the honey overpowered the flavor of the meat, pickled peppers, and red onions. There was a horrendous amount of tomato sauce on the pizza with so little cheese that some of the slices had no cheese at all. The pizza dough itself was also very soggy and had no structural integrity. I had to use a knife and fork to prevent all the toppings from falling off. The meat was also tough. Cleanliness: I went to the restroom and it was not clean. The toilet was filled with human waste. The restaurant was not busy at this time in the afternoon, as there were more employees present than customers. They should have had time to clean the restroom. It was disgusting. Atmosphere: Dusty and crusty. Very dimly lit as if they were trying to hide the dust and grime that has not been cleaned in ages. There were also bundles of exposed cables around the ceiling. It was painted in black to match the ceiling color, but it still could not hide the thick layer of dust. Service: Nonexistent. The server took awhile to come take our orders, even though there were 3 tables seated, including us. He checked on our table 3 times: to take our order, to deliver our food, and to give us the check. He never dropped by to refill our nearly empty water or ask if we needed anything else. He was so M.I.A. that we were unable to locate him to ask for more napkins or water refills. From the time that we got our food to when we finished it, he disappeared somewhere. What happened to him? I was so confused, because there were so few customers in the restaurant. All in all, this restaurant is actually 0/10. I am sad that Yelp does not let me rate lower than 1 star. I don't understand why people rave about Black Sheep. Even the 2nd worst pizza I've had in my life is 100 times better than this place. I had to eat several mints after the meal to wash the revolting aftertaste out of my mouth. Yuck. Don't go here for pizza please. Your tastebuds will cry.

This Pizza was awsome, If you don't like a more well done pizza than stay away, The coal fired crust for me was great. My wife also agrees she loved the hot honey pizza. I will go back every time I'm in the area. I will say the parking at the Washington ave restaurant was pretty weird but the food was great

After reading rave reviews of this establishment, I thought that it would be a great place to try on a special occasion. I took a pizza-lover here to celebrate her birthday after spending hours online and reading about how much everyone seems to love this place. Instead of a special meal that we could feel good about, I was left incredibly disappointed as a direct result of the subpar food and filthy conditions of this restaurant. Upon opening the door and entering Black Sheep, I was met with a distracted host with her back turned to me as I wondered how exactly I was meant to obtain service here. There was no sign indicating whether to seat myself or to wait for a host, and so I glanced around and spent a bit of time roaming the entrance area until the host, who I initially thought was another customer, decided to finally turn around and notice my party. I was seated at a booth, given water and menus, told that a server will soon be with me. After spending several minutes feeling the vibrations and thumps of the small child behind me kicking at the back of the booth we shared opposite sides of, our server finally decided to show his face. We ordered the 12 inch number 14 (Hot Honey, Smoked Chicken, Red Onion & Pickled Peppers) and waited. While we waited, we noticed the ceiling and made a mental note of the dusty and crusty wires that were loosely wrapped together almost right above our table. Perhaps that is the reason they made the decision to dim the lights so much that I almost fell asleep. To take my mind off of this, I went to the restroom. There were two vacant restrooms, and I went to the one closest to the dining area. This was a mistake. The toilet was nearly full. I won't even describe what was contained in it, as it was so disgusting I almost puked. This was the most disgusting restaurant bathroom I have ever seen in my life. Many minutes after leaving that filthy restroom and returning to my table, we finally received our pizza. It was incredible, not because it was of high quality, but because it's just so impressive how a place that specializes in pizza could produce something so utterly disgusting. Let me break down this pizza for anybody curious. The crust was nearly inedible, as it was mostly, but not entirely, burnt. Despite this, the middle sections were so soggy that as soon as I lifted up a slice, it flopped downwards as I witnessed all of the toppings slide off. Wow. It's normally great when a place is generous with toppings, but unfortunately, the toppings here did nothing but disappoint. The onions were too plentiful. They detracted from the texture and consistency of the rest of the pizza. I can't comment on the taste though, as the taste of the hot honey was so sweet that it overpowered everything else. I don't know why they call it "hot honey", as it's just as hot as regular honey. So not hot at all. The honey overpowered the smoked chicken. It overpowered the picked peppers. It overpowered the cheese and it overpowered the tomato sauce. I was able to taste the tomato sauce at times, but the honey was so overpowering that they should have just called this a honey pizza. Despite the overpowering sweetness, the other elements did indeed add a slight variety of textures and consistencies. Unfortunately, the chicken was too tough for me to feel as though this variety was a positive. Additionally, the cheese was so inconsistently and sparsely spread across the pizza that there were multiple slices which had no cheese at all. And I can't even comment on the pickled peppers, as their flavor was completely overpowered by the "hot" honey and their texture and consistency were overpowered by the overpopulation of onions. Because we were hungry, we did mostly finish this pizza. I really wanted to like it, and tried a multitude of different mental gymnastics techniques to convince myself that I enjoyed some element of it. However, the truth prevailed and I was forced to confront the reality that I had just consumed the worst pizza I have ever eaten in my life. I then had a revelation: I was out of water. I then had a second revelation: I hadn't seen my server since we received our food. I hadn't even seen him wandering around the restaurant or helping the two other tables that I hope were having a better time than me. I wondered if I should file a missing persons report. But all of a sudden, as though he could sense my desire to see him once again, he appeared. He asked if we wanted dessert and after answering "no," he departed once again to bring the check. At this point, I wasn't really thirsty. I was just upset that a restaurant could possibly think that this level of neglect was acceptable. What I thought would be a nice restaurant to take a pizza-enthusiast for a quick meal as a part of a larger plan to celebrate her birthday ended up being a dingy and dirty establishment serving the worst pizza I've ever had the displeasure of consuming. Absolutely disgusting.

Had such high hopes. Did not know I had to tell them not to burn it. I know a lot of people think this is acceptable, but when it's this burnt they should ask you if it's ok. It was so burnt the pepperoni was burnt. The pizza is pretty pricey and they charge 4% employee fund. Charging $20 for a medium pizza and can't afford health care is kinda crappy. The weird thing is I only ate part of a slice and the waitress never asked if something was wrong. She just brought a box.Will not be back.

There is something oddly comforting when you see the Black Sheep signage in the North Loop. Delivering quality pies for more than a decade - when the neighborhood was still called the "warehouse district" and the coal fired concept was still novel for the average patron - you can still count on friendly staff and pizza that hits the spot seven days a week. Check out their M-F happy hour (2pm -5pm) and take advantage of their patio seating during the warmer months.

Excellent coal fired pizza approaching a classic New Haven. Ensure to get yours extra crispy if you want the classic NH crisp, no flop, and charred, bubbled outer edge. I'm an 8.2, similar to El Presidente. A richer thicker red sauce w a bit more garlic would be an 8.4. Best pizza in MSP.

Black Sheep is normally one of my favorite spots in North Loop, but unfortunately this time just fell a little short. We sat outside on their makeshift patio, I love the woody feel with the picnic benches and wooden overhang - plus being able to people watch right in the heart of North Loop. Service was great during our visit, with quick and friendly waitresses even though we were sat outside. Drinks and food were quick! However, both of our pizzas had incredibly soggy bottoms. I love wood-fired pizzas for the charcoal-y taste and solid crust, but unfortunately this was lacking during our visit. The taste of the pizzas were still spot on, and we were definitely able to get through the sogginess since it was still delicious. Also, if you're a pineapple pizza lover, this place is perfect with its big round pineapple slices rather than chunks! Overall, I'll still come back since I've had great experiences in the past, but I hope I don't get another soggy one in the future.

Black Sheep has been slinging coal fired pizza in the North Loop for quite some time now, but it was actually their Lowertown location (RIP) that introduced me to their charred goodness. Now that I find myself in the North Loop more often, the original location has become my go-to for pizza in the neighborhood. The options for pizza haven't changed much over the year, but that's fine, as many of the combinations are great. The chicken & pickled peppers and oyster mushroom pizzas are my go-to choices, but again, I have no complaints about any pizza I've had (and you can go half and half or build your own if you're feeling indecisive). Coupled along with a salad (always inquire about the market salad), a 12" pizza and a few beverages make for a solid meal for two. They have a respectable beer list, a few cocktails on draft and some wine options. Service has always been friendly and it appears that the pizza still is popular with the neighborhood based upon the line on a recent Friday night.

It was decent pie. I enjoy the coal fired flavor. Great staff and clean location. Thanks for letting me write this review.

Great food. They asked me for id today although I have the email confirmation and name all fresh on my phone. That was so embarrassing. I make 40$ hr. Guess they couldn't believe id leave a tip like that too. Maybe next time I'll do less if I come back. I spent 60$. And i was the one person carded. I have been here before too.

Excellent pizza. We ordered our usual pepperoni. thin crispy crust, quality ingredients. The sauce was very interesting, light with a hint of what tasted as fennel to me, I could be way off on this but it was a great pizza. The Caesar salad didn't live up to the server's hype. The drinks on the other hand were great (sangria primavera for my bride and bailar y tomar for me). Our server was very attentive and the restaurant had a casual comfortable feel to it.

Just ordered a pizza for delivery from grubhub. I am sure in person this is great pizza. From the time i ordered to being delivered was 50 minutes. Not bad. I had sausage, onions and mushrooms. The toppings were almost cold. The cheese was barely melted. This was a room temperature pizza and I was very disappointed. All my MSP friends speak so highly of this place and it was a huge disappointment. Please eat in the restaurant is my advice here.

Very yummy! Have tried so many different pizzas and they are all delicious and fresh! My favorite one I have tried so far is the number 12 with pineapple and it was super good as well as the one with the fennel sausage on it! They were both great! Also, the cocktails were very fresh and not overly priced! Will be back!

After trying to find a restaurant in north loop with less than an hour wait my friends and I decided to call up black sheep pizza. They said they could get us in within 10minutes so we made our way over. We stood in the bar area until our seats were ready. The menu had a lot that sounded good but we decided to share two pizzas and went with the oyster mushroom and the Persian beef pizza. The Persian beef pizza was AMAZING!!! So much flavor in the red sauce and the beef was spiced so flavorful and paired with the feta. I had a lift bridge root beer which was so good with the pizza! I would definitely go back.

Pros: - Pizza is very good, crust is sort of thin but doesn't crumble or anything, and the toppings rarely slide off. - Servers are very nice. He made sure to check up on us multiple times and was very kind overall. - The windows provide nice natural light for the store. Cons: - Sort of pricy. $4.50 for lemonade, though it is freshly squeezed. - Bathrooms may need a remodel.

It's been awhile since e I ordered from here, but I realized I hadn't reviewed it. It's great quality pizza without feeling too "fancy" for specialty pizza. The fired is reminiscent of the days of Sydney's. Whether dine in or delivered through food delivery the quality remains top notch.

Black Sheep continues to put out amazing pies time after time. Since the opening in the north loop it has been our go to for great pizza. The pepperoni pizza is a staple along with the Sicilian (sadly told last night it is no more and left us now searching for one like it in the area). Service us always spot on and staff is always willing to help with special requests.

I used to think Black Sheep's pizza was just fine. I don't know if they have changed their approach or something, but I think it is better than I remembered and this is now a go-to pizza place for me. Definitely a really solid pizza.

Took our family of five here on a Tuesday night of our Spring Break. All three kids loved the pizza (and they are picky eaters) and my partner and I found something we loved as well. It was a great date night, family spot, and location in the neighborhood. our waitress was great; she even offered us the neighborhood discount for living locally. We will be back!

I researched pizza places for months planning my trip to the Twin Cities. I'm from South Carolina and we just don't have good pizza there. Anytime I go anywhere up North I immediately Google pizza places to try. The location is really cool. Good vibes and I could see actually hanging out here if I was a local. We got a cheese pizza (that's how you truly judge a pizza place), my wife got an Oyster Mushroom Pizza, and we got a quarter of a Sicilian. My cheese pizza was perfect. It was coal fired and it hit the nail on the head for what I want pizza to be. Perfect crust (chewy and crispy at the same time), sweet sauce (not too sweet), and fresh cheese. Cheese on the bottom and sauce on top. What else do you want in life? The Sicilian was on another level. Cheese on bottom and the sauce all the way on top. It literally melted in your mouth and all the flavors just hit right. When I mean I Googled/YouTube'd pizza places in the Twin Cities I mean I took hours to find one. I switched them so many times it wasn't funny. I was suppose to go to Wrecktangle Pizza and chose Black Sheep on the day before we left for our trip. It was our second place eating at in the Twin Cities and my personal favorite. We had wine and just had a really good time. Good food, wine, and a great atmosphere make for a heck of a date with my wife. Black Sheep, you're making it hard for me to go back to South Carolina.
