Description

Nicole and Meerwais Azizi's bakery and counter-service restaurant offers what is inarguably the Twin Cities' finest Afghan pizza. Order one and you'll receive a groaning platter spilling over with a vast slab of pillowy roasted Afghan bread glazed with a light tomato sauce and smothered with a salty cheese blend, then topped with your choice of ingredients, ranging from spicy halal beef to distinctly non-Afghan pineapple chunks. Cut into squares and served with an addictively spicy and zingy green herb and pepper sauce, the Afghan pizza manages to evoke both that weird standard rural-Minnesota pizza grid and something completely different--the roasty, fierce flavors of far away. The spinach pies and ground-chicken tikka kabob are also standouts. Although service can be slow, a weekday visit with a newspaper and a cup of chai tea can yield fresh-made slow-food treasures.
