Pizza is classic, but you want to enjoy it fresh. Luckily, there are several local places in Grand Forks where you can do just that. Every business is unique with a different vibe, different menu, and a different origin story to tell, making each a valuable part of our Grand Forks restaurant community. We loved every bite while checking out these places to make sure they were good enough for our list. Check out our favorite pizza places in Grand Forks below, and be sure to check out some of our favorite international cuisine as well!

You’ll find a fantastic lineup of pizzas and wings here, all crafted to pair perfectly with the well-crafted brews on tap. Whether you are dining in or taking your meal to go, grab a family meal deal to feed the whole house or purchase your favorite signature pizza as a “take n’ bake” and enjoy a fresh Half Brothers pizza right out of your own oven.

Some local brewers serve excellent beer and have a great menu. What sets Half Brothers Brewing Company apart is its deep connection to the community, helping showcase local creators from musicians to painters to mixed media artists. This creates a unique and always exciting experience whenever you stop in.

Mike’s Pizza & Pub

This family-owned pizza and pub restaurant features a weekday lunch buffet that is perfect for those short on time during a work break or just out running errands and in need of a quick bite. For dinner and late-night dining, you’ll find a casual vibe that’s family-friendly but with a full bar for those wanting to enjoy a drink.

First opened in 1964, Mike’s Pizza & Pub has a full menu of pub favorites like burgers, pasta, and chicken in addition to their locally famous pizza. Gourmet pizzas include those with chicken or shrimp Alfredo, artichoke hearts, or even a new take on the classic barbecue chicken favorite. Don’t forget one of the 12 ice cream flavors for dessert!

Boss’ Pizza & Chicken

Boss’ Pizza & Chicken has nine locations around the area, and we are lucky enough to have one here in Grand Forks. It’s located nearby Prime Steel Park if you’d like to grab a meal to go and enjoy the beautiful weather when we have some, or go for a walk after your fabulous feast. With an extensive menu as well as daily specials, you’re sure to find something you will love.  

They are well-known for their unique broasted chicken recipe. However, it’s their pizza and endless options that take this restaurant to a whole new level. Specialty pizzas include the famous Taco Pizza as well as nearly 40 others. You can substitute any pizza’s crust for cauliflower and the sauce for olive oil to cut down on the carbs at Boss’ Pizza & Chicken. It’s an excellent choice for those watching their diet or with dietary restrictions or preferences.

Deek’s Pizza

With one location in Grand Forks and two in Fargo, Deek’s Pizza is one pizza joint you’ll want to return to again and again. Their menu sticks to the classics and a few fan favorites, but it’ll be easy to make your choice. They’ve added more wing options and sauces to choose from so you can grab your pizza and wings combo.

Up North Pizza Pub

If you like having just as many pizza options as you do on-tap beer selections, Up North Pizza Pub is the place you want to go. Over 20 signature pizzas include everything from the savory Saucy Hen with bechamel sauce and chicken to the Margherita with red sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil. Many of the beers on tap include those from local breweries.  

The story of Up North Pizza Pub is fitting as the idea came together amongst friends who were sharing a pizza and beer much like the ones they offer at their pub. It may have taken a few years, but those friends eventually established the Up North Pizza Pub that exists today, creating an atmosphere that’s perfect for friends, family, happy hour, or just grabbing a beer.

Popolino’s Pizza

Serving specialty pizzas and appetizers since 1990, Popolino’s is a family-owned restaurant that creates a fun and casual environment for friends and family. Their loyalty program allows you to earn free drinks, breadsticks, and even pizza just for stopping in for your favorite freshly made pizza in Grand Forks. Hold your fundraiser here, and Popolino’s will support your cause as well.  

Are you eating late? Popolino’s Pizza is open, and they even have daily specials. If you love a good hot wing, give the Hot Wing pizza a try. It’s different, it’s daring, and we think you’ll like it. Order a classic Supreme or Hawaiian pizza and hang out for a bit to slow down from the fast pace of life outside.

Rhombus Guys

Why the name “Rhombus Guys?” It’s quite a story, actually, and one that owners Matt and Arron love to share. Their original venture was a smoothie stand, and because it was handmade, it ended up being more of a rhombus shape than a cube. They still worked that smoothie stand and gained the skills and experience needed to expand into the world of pizza in Grand Forks.

Detroit-style pizza is a unique take on the classic pie and one that Rhombus Guys serve daily. If you’ve never tried it, you have to stop in for the T-rex. This signature pizza has won several pizza competitions, and you’ll know why at first bite. Purchase your favorite pizzas frozen to go or ship up to 10 at a time.
