One of the things that truly sets Pizza Pub apart is our unique pizza sauce. If you’ve ever tried our pizza, you know there’s simply no comparison when it comes to the flavor of our sauce. It’s this dedication to taste and quality that has earned us the award for the "Best House Special" in Minnesota. Our Pizza Pub Special is a testament to everything we stand for: it starts with pepperoni, sausage, and ground beef, followed by mushrooms, green olives, diced onions, and diced green peppers, all topped off with the same award-winning 100% REAL® Wisconsin mozzarella cheese that’s been part of our recipe since day one.

I had the most responsive and wonderful server ever at Lake Elmo Inn. Jessica was superb. She was very friendly and professional. Upon bringing my friend’s hamburger, she noticed the burger looked a bit rare and my friend had ordered well done. Jessica immediately brought the burger back to the kitchen and returned it to the proper doneness. Our food was all delicious, perfectly prepared. Loved the salmon piccata and salted caramel creme brulee. Fantastic!

We love this place for all kinds of occasions. The food, drink and service is always very good. The variety of food and drink including wine options are better than anywhere else in Stillwater. The only issue we encountered was that the sliding entrance doors opened whenever anyone got close to them, so they were open too often and for long enough periods of time that we had to wear our coats while we ate, because it’s cold outside in January. So make sure to plan ahead with a warm coat and whatnot in case your table is close to the front doors. We’ll be back!

The employees were excited to serve. Welcome and warm atmosphere. My partner love's White Castle 🏰 The grey area was the claim stripes. For $12.99 They were not worthy. Most of it was like pieces that appeared like crumbs The Shrimp was great So was the sliders. Table and chairs not comfortable
