I am PSYCHED about these guys landing in the Western Metro. I know they’ve been shopping spots in the Twin Cities for a while, but it looks like Minnetonka (Hwy 7/Shady Oak by Lunds) is the first lucky recipient of a HomeMade Pizza Co.
You could just poo-poo it as another take-and-bake concept, but you would be a sad and hungry poo-pooer when you realized how cool these guys are. Never mind the props from Oprah and Brooke Shields, never mind that chef-on-the-scene Grant Achatz calls it a personal favorite, it’s really all about the ingredients, my friends.
The guys behind HomeMade Pizza Co. have an idea that the ingredients should be the best available and all-natural and that the pizzas should be made from scratch. That means chopping fresh basil for your personal pie. Huh.
Plus, they seem to have a knack for putting the freshness to work. The Georgia has Santa Fe chicken sausage, poblano peppers and ricotta cheese … the wild mushroom pizza is complemented with creamy Fontinella cheese and fresh thyme … and their signature sausage and onion utilizes all-natural Itaian sausage, carmelized onions, Asiago cheese and a hit of sage.
Also check out their Cutie Pie Kit, in which you take home a box of fun for pizza making with the kids.
They aren’t open yet, but they are hiring, which means it will be soon, very soon …..
