You can generally find a great selection of pretty much anything in Northeast MPLS.  So when we found a groupon for Pizza Nea we were excited to go.  The place itself reminded us of Punch Pizza in Highland with a small eating area, the woodfire stove, classy clientele, and a well stocked wine menu.

What we didn’t find was a pizza that really stood out.  Don’t get us wrong, this pizza won’t ruin your night or cause your date to run out the door or anything like that, but it didn’t really have us making plans to come back.  We grabbed the quatro formaggi and the salsicce pizzas and set about our meal.  The sausage in the salsicce had a bit of a kick which was rather nice but overall both pizzas lacked distinction.  The sauce and cheese were fresh but bland and left us wanting to add red pepper and parmesan cheese just to have something to hone in on.

In the end, it’s not a bad place but we were glad we didn’t pay the full price and to be honest will probably head on over to Nye’s next time we’re in that neighborhood.
