What People Are Saying About Green Mill Restaurant

In Short – From sports fans whooping it up at the bar to kids playing at tables and high booths, Green Mill is a rambunctious scene. The decor is surprisingly nice, given the family-friendly vibe: mahogany wood paneling, decorative glass dividers, brick walls and artsy glass light sconces. Most everyone comes for the pizza, whether it's deep-dish, stuffed or on a cracker-thin seasoned crust. Other dishes include seafood pastas and hot Italian subs.

pretty good

Great pizza. Cheese tasted fresh as opposed to the rubbery stuff served by pizza chains. Large variety of toppings. Ambiance was a little too "Applebee's-like" for me, but the food was great. I would definitely return if I am ever in the twin cities again.

Chicago is only 7 hours away...

I have one beef with Green Mill: they make a big deal about having authentic Chicago-style pizza when they can't even get the order of ingredients right. There are people who like to claim you can't make NY-style pizza without dough made with water from Long Island Sound, or Chicago-style pizza without the seasoned pans from decades of pizzas. Those things are a matter of taste (more aptly, pretense). But it is NOT a matter of taste that Green Mill does not make Chicago-style pizza. By definition, Chicago-style pizza is one with a deep, hand formed crust, followed by mozzarella, and topped off with crushed tomatoes. Green Mill thinks Chicago-style pizza = deep dish. That is simply untrue. If the top of your pizza is anything other than red, you do NOT have Chicago-style pizza. Please go to Chicago, order pizza from Gino's East/Lou Malnati's, and bring a note pad.
- Pros: laid back, good parking
- Cons: not chicago pizza

overpriced for what you get!
by kiteless
it always interests me that people gush about how great the green mill is. the pizza is at best average, and not remotely authentic. i am originally from NY and if a place like green mill were to open there, it would not last long. the prices for pizza are much too high for what you get!
their wings are probably the only thing i have ever ordered from them that i enjoyed. overall, there are other, better minnesota based pizza joints that you should spend you money on!
- Pros: great beer selection
- Cons: over priced

Chicago-style pizza is the specialty and deserves recognition, especially the Il Primo version piled with spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, roasted mushrooms and four cheeses.
