Crescent Moon Pizza

Awhile back Minneapolis St Paul magazine printed a list of the best pizza in the Twin Cities area. Most of the places listed we have been to before, but one in particular was new to us and looked interesting, Crescent Moon Pizza’s football pizza.

We visited for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon and it was not busy. We ordered a medium meat lovers football pizza. It is topped with afgani beef, chicken and gyro meat along with cheese. The pizza was quite large and had a sturdy crust and good amounts of all the toppings.

The sauces available for the pizza were very interesting. The best one was the green sauce. It had a strong garlic flavor and was pretty spicy, but tasted very fresh and flavorful. We even asked for some to take home with our leftovers. The white sauce tasted kind of like ranch and the red sauce was really, really spicy.

We went to the location on Central Avenue in Minneapolis. To order you go up to the counter and they call your name when the food is ready. There is a large seating area if you wish to eat in the restaurant but no one waits on you, everything is self-service. We found the prices to be quite reasonable for the amount of food received. The medium pizza was $14.00 and it was enough for two meals for both of us.
