I thought I had done a post on Black Sheep pizza long ago. The original location on Washing ton Avenue is very small and there is usually a long wait, so we only went there once or twice. They recently opened a second location in St Paul and a third on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis. The new location on Nicollet Avenue is quite large with a bar toward the back on one side and lots of tables in the front and on the other side. We arrived around 6pm on a Friday night and were seated right away.
The menu at this location is quite a bit larger than the other location as they also have a grill. We decided to stick to the pizza options though.
John had the fennel sausage and oyster mushroom pizza with red sauce and cheese. John really liked the sausage on this pizza as it was smoky and spicy with lots of fennel flavor.
I had the hot salami and green olive pizza with red sauce and cheese. The red sauce is pretty mild, but the hot salami was generously applied and quite spicy. I ended up taking some of it off as it was too much for me. The crust was very good with just a bit of char on the edges and I love how the salami get a little crisp too. It was a large pizza (ordered the 12”) and I had some left over for the next day.
The service was great and there was a wide variety of bottle and tap beers with some interesting local choices. Ample parking is available with lots of on street spaces and a dedicated parking lot located about a block south.
