Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza

I never order takeout from places. It almost never comes out correctly the way you ordered and paid for it. Tonight was no exception. Ordered pickup and when I got home I discovered they did not include half of the toppings I’d already paid for. Of course, I’d also already tipped them on the online ordering system. Let this serve as a reminder to myself and folks reading never to trust these online services, check your food before you leave, and tip once you’re satisfied, not before. UPDATE: I was contacted by Black Sheep Pizza and they more than made up for the error on my order. Clearly they care about maintaining a good standing with the community and indeed they have with me. Cheers to them.

Pretty empty at 8 pm on a Monday evening, so the service ought to have been good. Pizza was great, had bacon, mushroom and artichoke. The article is pre roasted, which brings out flavor. Bacon added a nice touch of saltiness but not overwhelming. Not overly cheesy which was good for us. Great thin crust, a bit crisp like a flatbread.

I do love the taste of pizza fresh out of a super hot oven. Wonderful, creative flavors. We had great service, and the beer and cocktails are top-notch. Good non-alcoholic options also. My only knock is that Black Sheep has built their business on... Burning coal. That's just not ok in the 2020s. Wood-fired pizza tastes just as good and is at least somewhat renewable.

We ordered takeout around 6 PM on a Friday. The order was done early and the whole process was simple. We ordered a pepperoni and a chicken, onion, honey peppers option and both were fantastic. The only other time I had Black Sheep was when they were at MSP. Completely different experience this time and we’ll definitely be back soon. If you’re anywhere close and love great pizza, add this to your list.
