A spirit of smoke dwells in the paper-crisp crust and tender, springy heat of every Punch pizza, which arrives from the wood-fired brick oven like a greeting from an artisan age during which every morsel of fresh mozzarella was as delicate as springtime, every imported San Marzano tomato was as big as summer, and zesty toppings like cayenne salami and picholine olives set the sky on fire. But it's not just the pizza. The salads are good, and the wine list is a moderately priced, pizza-friendly dream come true. So join us in a citywide howl to the heavens: "Why doesn't my block have a pizza joint this good?" Dinner.

The first Punch Pizza in St. Paul is the only one I have really enjoyed so far.
I went to the Grand Ave. location on a Friday evening...it was packed but everything moved very quickly. The pizza is good, but it wasn't earth moving. Prices are good.
For the best authentic Neapolitan pizza this side of the Atlantic, one need look no further than Punch. A certified member of the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana, Punch doesn't pack its delectable thin-crust pizzas with greasy fixin's like thick ham or half-cooked bacon. Instead, Punch fills its crispy handmade crusts with only the best and freshest ingredients available, like San Marzano tomatoes imported from Naples, virtually transparent prosciutto, and Mediterranean olives and...

For the record, the issue is the crust. You can have the finest salami, the freshest mushrooms, the most attentively tended sauce, but without a good crust, it all falls apart in a flat flabby mess, like a teddy bear without any stuffing. Punch's pizza, now in three locations, has that crust: It's buoyant as a cloud, given incredible lift by the expansion that happens when pizza dough hits the inside of a wood-fired oven that's been going all day. It's weighty, though, too, given dimension... More »
Different strokes for different folks, they say. But we hate to admit that our favorite stroke-book might just be our tattered takeout menu from Punch, which we extract from the desk drawer whenever times get tough. From it we read about how the Punch proprietors keep their 800-degree oven stocked with wood, in order to cook that unbelievably tasty pizza crust in less than two minutes. Then we look at the cartoonish diagram that shows the fior di latte mozzarella, the red San Marzano... More »
