Who doesn’t love delicious, cheesy pizza? No matter where it’s from, you really can’t go wrong with pizza. There are hundreds of pizza joints across Minnesota, including many of the state’s most popular chains. But what about the many small shops that do it all from just one location? This little hole-in-the-wall pizza place may not look like much on the outside, but they may just serve the best pizza in Minnesota.

Open since 1969, Pagliai's Pizza is the oldest pizzeria in Mankato! The restaurant is located at 524 South Front Street in Mankato, Minnesota.
