Why Go Anywhere Else – The pizza is so good. It is one of my favorite places in the Twin Cities. When I lived in Highland Park, I would go there weekly. The salads are really good, and did I mention the pizza is awesome. The restaurant is small, so if you go on the weekends, you may be waiting outside, but its worth the wait. If you haven't been, what are you waiting for?

The most authentic Italian pizza in St. Paul – Punch Neapolitan Pizza will bring back delectable memories to anyone who has spent some time in Italy. Try the classic pizza Marinara with only tomato sauce, garlic and oregano or the Quattro Formaggi with mozzarella, fontina, ricotta and smoked mozzarella cheeses. If you like pizza without a red sauce, try the Cortina, pizza with mushroom, gorgonzola, sun-dried tomato, garlic, and oregano. I haven't gotten around to trying the tiramisu because I'm too busy eating the hot bread ... read more

Simply the best pizza around – There's no pizza place around that even comes close to Punch. The service is friendly - they still let me order a pizza that was removed from the menu years ago. The salads are great. I particularly like the Punch salad. For dessert, skip the tiramisu and go with the gelato or bread pudding.

Punch is the best! – I used to work at this restaurant and before I moved away from Mpls, I still ate there at least twice a week. The pizza is irresistable, the prices are good, service is fast. I honestly have not had a better pizza since trying punch and I have been to Italy several times. Now that I live in Miami, we need one of these!

Lacks the "punch" I was expecting... – I had heard only amazing things about Punch Pizza in Highland, so I have to admit I was disappointed when I found it to be only so-so. The salad we shared as an appetizer was good, although it seemed like something I could probably make at home with a bottle of vinagrette and some mixed greens. My calzone definitely left something to be desired - there was very little filling in it, so I was mostly left with a giant piece of plain folded over pizza crust. For this so-so food, I felt tha... read more

Authentic Italian Pizza – In one word: amazing. I went to Italy four years ago and had pizza in Naples that was just as delicious and authentic as Punch's. What the restaurant lacks in comfort (hard wooden chairs and tiny, cramped tables), it makes up for in taste. Molten hot mozzarella, fresh San Marzano tomatoes, aromatic basil, and a slightly charred crust are the ingredients for the traditional Margherita pizza. After trying the pizza here, I guarentee that you'll be coming back for more!

A "MUST" – I had never been to Punch until last week and I couldn't THINK about anything else until I went back yesterday to get some more! Their salads are amazingly tasty, then you get your pizza that is just explodes on the tongue. Really, you have got to try this place .. call ahead on weekends because it is busy!
