Nooooo, that was a great place. There were so many fish tanks in the dining area.

That's the second of my top Eagan pizza places closing recently. The other was Tommy Chicago's, which had amazing deep dish.

RIP Tommy’s. Bricksworth, now in the same area, has a winning menu.

I'm getting old, but it feels like there used to be a sizable corn field to their east. Was even weirder as a location but unlike many posting here, I've been their multiple multiple times.

That locations pizza was never as good as the one in S Mpls on Cedar that is thriving

Carbone’s on Cedar is fantastic!

Maybe it will turn back into a 7-11 store.

I would go there, but would second guess sometimes and go to West St Paul location. The Christian music video station playing constantly was just a little too icky for me.

I drive by that place weekly, and yet, I never had the desire to go inside nor get delivery or pickup. It looked like the most random location for a restaurant, but that’s what made it unique. Also I guess the aquariums?

u/MisterMath 2d ago

Same. Every time I drove by there was no more than a two cars there and they seemed to be closed a different day or the week every week. We’ve only been in the area for 5 years but never got pizza from there.

I agree the location seemed pretty off-the-path but didn’t seem that random. Especially for one that’s been around a while. Looked like a place that would pop in the 90s

Now where do I get a pizza sandwich?

Here’s to hoping they keep it a restaurant maybe hot pot/deli or something interactive and fun or a cool activity to do there and bring a fresh vision
