Pizzeria Pezzo

In our from-scratch kitchen, we carefully combine fresh, locally sourced, and organic ingredients into delicious dishes crafted with care and detail. From our house-made mozzarella to our fresh-daily dough and tomato sauces, we prepare each of our meals with thesame love and care you would, in your very own home. This means, its more than just about great food! When you join us for a meal at Pezzo, it feels as if you were getting together with your friends, neighbors, and family. Giving our community a place to eat, drink, and relax is what motivates us to continue creating the best food and environment we possibly can. Pezzo was the brainchild of Twin Cities native Chef Gary Bougie. Ever since his first job as a teenager in an Illinois pizzeria, he had a passion for creating the perfect pizza experience. He spent years doing just that at his first Chicago restaurant, SLYCE. In 2013, Chef Gary took the opportunity to bring his pizza-making prowess back home to Minnesota and it was then that Pizzeria Pezzo was born, in the suburb of White Bear Lake. The journey was nearly cut short when Chef Gary tragically passed away, just six months after its opening. Current owner and operator, Keri Bougie lead the company following her husbands passing, and with the expertise of Mac Morrison (director of culinary operations and development), they have moved the company forward in developing the vision of pizza perfection. Keri, a former New Yorker, who lived in Chicago for many years, as well as Rome, knows what it means to enjoy pizza that adheres to the classic pizza-making traditions. Keri and the Pezzo Team continue to build the brand, creating a family-oriented company specializing in fresh, delicious offerings. Here at Pizzeria Pezzo, we continue to carry forth our founding principles – simple, creative, handcrafted pizza that lives up to the great styles of Italy, New York, and Chicago.
