Solos Pizza Cafe

Short on time? Don’t eat here, period.
Their pizza is SO amazing.
However, the service sucks and will no longer be enjoying said amazing pizza. I’ve had my pizza given away to someone else only to find myself waiting 15 min for a pizza long gone out the door. Today we placed an online order for 9 pizzas. Should have known they wouldn’t have even noticed that we placed the order until we came in to pick up. Please Solo’s of Eagan, hire some quality employees so I can enjoy your amazing pizzas again.

Thanks for the great customer service. At the end of a really long day, this was such a relief to be treated like their favorite customer! I don’t come in here often, but every time I do, I’m pleased with who serves me and the food is so good!

7″ Taco Pizza is a complete joke!!!
I asked the staff before ordering, knowing Taco pizza’s can be really good or really bad. Her reply? «It’s the BOMB».
The small 7″ was half of the problem. It was too small to hold or add any toppings. My pizza had 4 small sections, shredded cheese wasn’t completely melted, 1 of the 4 slices had a huge air bubble on the crust and just 1 piece of lettuce. LUCKY to even taste any of the beef «lightly» sprinkled on my pizza and considering the cheese was «Lightly» sprinkled on and not even melted. The base of the pizza was «Suppose» to be taco beef and cheese. You couldn’t taste or hardly see either.
Lots’ of the 10′ pizza’s I saw looked great… but the 7″ Taco is basically a small crust topped with tomatoes and pieces of lettuce. A waste of money.

I am a regular here at the Eagan location and I give it five stars. The staff greets you as soon as you walk in the store with a kind «welcome to solo’s». The staff is very kind and helpful during the ordering process. You can choose from any of the favs or make your own. There is a lot of variety to choose from. They also have salads, soups, and sandwiches as well as pizza of course. The pricing us appropriate for their delicious food. There is a new coca cola freestyle drink machine in the store so you can choose any flavor combination you wish. They serve your order right to your table. The pizza cooks from the inside out in a 470 degree oven, making it a fast and easy process. The entire store is clean, and the crew is constantly cleaning and prepping to make the store look the best. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is a pizza lover!!!

I love the pizza here! The quality of the pizza is definitely better than that of your typical pizza chain. There are many toppings to choose from to customize your pizza, but what I like the most here are the speciality pizzas. The Mona Lisa and White Hen are two of my favorite pizzas to order. I have also tried the Ham Caprese sandwich from their Oven Baked sandwich melts offerings, which was very delicious.
The Solos PEP Club email subscription service also sends great deals for the pizzas and sandwiches too!
The employees are friendly and the restaurant is decent in appearance. I am definitely a repeat customer!

Awesome build your own personal pizza place! Customer service was great. Michelle helped me decide on the «big tony». It’s nice to have a place where pizza can be made on an individual bases instead of getting a huge pie.

I have lunch on average at this place twice per week. Their pizza easily beats out any chain for flavor and freshness. They have everything from basic to gourmet. The staff is great and know what I’m having when I walk in the door. If you are a member of their club they also periodically email coupons. Highly recommend !

Loved this place! My husband and I always like different toppings on our pizza so it’s nice to be able to have solo pizzas. So good!

I love this place, and it’s totally worth drive for me from Woodbury. The concept is so clever. My favorite is the White Hen with the basil and sauce, so good.

Great varieties to choose from including wheat crust. And u can go on to customize everything you want! Very fast service and good location. My usual place for a pizza just for myself!

Individual sized pizzas and great options for a variety of tastes. Very consistent too.
They also recently changed their loyalty program back to emailed coupons instead of points– a smart and appreciated change.
For your thirst there is a Freestyle coke machine, Gold Peak iced tea, and a handful of bottled soft drink options.
Salads and cookies to round out mealtime.

There are plenty of things to like about the concept of this place, so I’ll just jump right in with the highlights:
_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​_​
— Tons of toppings to choose from such as (but not limited to): fresh garlic, fresh basil, spinach, various olives, grilled chicken and gorgonzola. They also have an impressive sauce list that boasts everything from a basic marinara to a chipotle pesto.
— They don’t charge you out the ass for adding toppings like some places. For a 10″ cheese pie at a base price of $ 5.95, each additional topping will only set you back a mere .75 cents. I appreciate that.
— They’ve added a much needed selection of dinner salads to their menu. I’m not a gigantic salad person, but there are plenty that are and I think they realized they needed to tap into that demographic.
— The ability to completely customize your pizza/​salad endlessly appeals to me. I’m the type that looks at preset items and always finds at least one of the ingredients off-​putting, so I love being –encouraged– to screw around with my meal.
Besides, I’ve yet to see a bacon, jalapeño, garlic and fresh basil pizza on any menu… but I can order one here. Kachow, bitches.

Onto the lesser appealing:
The kitchen is an open air type setup that allows you to see everything that’s normally ‘behind the scenes’. I’m a huge believer that if an area like this is going to be made into a focal point, it damn well better be scrubbed and tidy. It isn’t.
Now, I’m not saying it’s filthy – the employees do clean – but it’s just unkempt and therefore unpleasant to look at. There are toppings strewn about all over the floor, lots of cross-​contamination is going on in the bins (LAWDY, OLIVES AINT S’POSED TO BE CO-​MINGLIN’ WITH NO APPLES OF THE PINE) and there’s just a general air of ‘we just had a huge rush and haven’t cleaned yet’ going on… all the time. Even when there wasn’t a huge rush and it’s not crowded.
The pizza itself is tasty and priced correctly for what it is. It doesn’t break any new ground but it’s also markedly better than frozen and shit shacks like Pizza Hut.
It’s a solid 3.5 stars average for my handful of visits.
A couple years ago, I gave Solo’s a 2. The back area was a –lot– more disorganized and off-​putting, the employees were wholly disinterested to the point of rudeness and the product was less than average (terrible sauce, lack of abundant options, nothing other than pizza… etc).
But, you know what? I can happily applaud their efforts to not remain stagnant, as it’s clear they’ve been making positive changes over the years. I’ll continue to go back for that very reason; a business that listens to its customers is a place that deserves attention.

Decent spot for lunch. I went with the cheese breadsticks and a salad. The breadsticks were good — a little greasy, but they hit the spot. It comes with a side of ranch or marinara. I opted for the marinara and was a little bummed that the sauce was pretty cold — would have been nice if it was heated. The salad wasn’t great. It was pretty close to wilted lettuce with a few tomato slices and cucumbers, plus an exorbitant amount of croutons. Balsamic vinegerette was OK.
Pizza toppings are impressive, and I’d for sure go back to try one of those. Service was pretty friendly and they have one of those fancy pop machines so I had a little diet coke lime mixed in with my diet coke.

Really cool concept!
My fiancé and I usually don’t agree on pizza toppings, especially since I have dietary restrictions. We discovered Solos Pizza Café while staying at a nearby hotel… I wish there were more locations across the country! (Or at least everywhere I go, haha)
I LOVE that they offer turkey pepperoni– this is very rare for pizza places! Their selection of pizza toppings is fantastic.
Their patio is dog-​friendly (or at least the employees didn’t complain when we ate outside with our pups).
As a Chicagoan that is pretty picky about her pizza, I was very pleased with the flavor of this pizza. The sauce is great, and the cheese-​to-​sauce-​to-​crust ratio is good.
I definitely whole-​heartedly recommend Solos Pizza Café!

Since I live with a bunch of cheese only pizza fans it is nice to have a place that encourages individual pizzas. «You can have your cheese honey.» I’m getting the 10″ fatty fatterton style with extra mushrooms! The pizzas are made fresh and there’s even a whole wheat crust option. The salads look pretty good too. I have eaten here a few times now and liking it a lot.

I thank this establishment for being generous with the complimentary birthday pizza. I assumed that only a 7 inch was authorized, but to my pleasant surprise, I was allowed to get a 10 inch pizza. I made an original crust with marinara sauce, topped with sausage, bacon and pepperoni. I bought a fountain drink to take advantage of the modern and hip fountain dispenser. It was the first time I had heard of and tried a Seagram’s Ale. Thank you, Solo’s Eagan!

Go for the Big Tony if you’re looking for a standard pizza. Feeling more adventurous? Try the Bleu Moon.
If you want a pizza, but are tired of the chains, Solo’s is a good choice. They have variety, with combinations you won’t find elsewhere. This isn’t a neo style pizza place — you’ll wind up with a thick, semi-​greasy crust covered with toppings. My impression is that the toppings are higher quality than what you would find at a chain.
I will say that they do a good job taking care of their customers. They have taken care of me whenever an order was messed up, and their reward club provides solid coupons via e-​mail.

The pizza here is great and has a wide variety of choices. Definitely my favorite pizza place in the area! I come here fairly regularly for lunch and always get the Master Pizza, but my friends usually get the Ring of Fire or the Brick House. The crust is baked to perfection and is probably my favorite part. Their Mac & Cheese is really good too!
If you join their email list they will send you coupons regularly. Also, they have one of the newer Coke machines with 100+ combinations and flavors (Vanilla Cherry Coke Zero anyone?) I love this place and highly recommend people to check it out!

Tasty, interesting options without being weird. Fairly fast. Kitchen (open air) is a bit dirty and messy. Probably because they’re throwing the pizzas together so fast. The bacon spinach salad is especially good.
Best for lunch – good combo prices!

Everytime I’m with with my brother, the only thing he wants to eat is pizza. So my sister and I are always on the lookout for new pizza eateries to try with him. We heard Solos opened near our house so we decided to give it a try.
My brother tried the Big Tony and said he didn’t like it. He’s a tough one to please though. He thought the pizza dough tasted funny and was «cheap».
My sister tried the White Hen and we both thought it was okay. And I tried the Antonio and thought it was okay. The marinara sauce on all of the pizzas could’ve been better. I didn’t have a problem w/​the pizza dough as I did w/​the marinara sauce, which I found to be cheap tasting (something Little Caesar’s would use on their pizza’s). We also got the garlic bread puffs to share and it’s not worth the extra few bucks. It was just fried hallow dough w/​a bit of butter and a splash of salt on it.
Overall, I think Red’s Savoy down the street is better for the bang. Solos is clean though. And I thought the service was nice. I just wouldn’t come back here solely on the cleanliness and friendly service alone.
