The pizza, which is what they are known for, was excellent. We had the umami mama which had lots of mushrooms and was really rich. We also had the wings, the prawns, and the savoy cabbage. The cabbage was also really tasty. The wings and the prawns were each fine not as good as I would expect for this caliber of restaurant. Go for the pizza but skip anything else.

A great place for a special occasion always -- but esp. at the Holidays. Great decor, lovely free music, cool drinks, great service and the photo booth all make for a fun time. And being employee owned is a cherry on the top of the sundae. I wish they had more vegan dishes. There is very little there for me to eat.

We were hosting a small family gathering pre-Christmas show. Zelo was the perfect ‘appetizer’! It’s our favorite Minneapolis restaurant and never fails to impress. Food is delicious, ambience perfect and a special thank you to our server Erica who was the perfect mix of attentive without being intrusive.

What a great place! Expansive menu, great value, casual, welcoming ambience, and great service. The food is very good—we had a delicious pan-fried walleye and the fish and chis—the latter just beautifully deep-fried. We had a wonderful time!
