About 7th Avenue Pizza
7th Avenue Pizza began with a simple but powerful idea: bring warmth to Minnesota winters.
In 2011, founder Patrick Nelson set out to create something that felt personal — a family-run brand rooted in community and quality. Drawing inspiration from their background in family-owned ice cream trucks, the team pivoted from cold treats to comfort food, crafting pizzas that could bring people together around the table.
From the start, 7th Avenue focused on doing things the right way — premium Hormel meats, authentic Wisconsin cheeses, and bold flavor combinations that didn’t hold back. But what truly shaped the brand was its connection to the local community.
A pivotal moment came when local media personality Paul “Meatsauce” Lambert gave the pizza a shoutout, famously declaring, “It wails.” That endorsement sparked wider recognition and led to a partnership with KFAN and The Power Trip Morning Show, helping 7th Avenue grow from a local favorite into a recognized regional brand.
Today, 7th Avenue Pizza continues to craft pizzas with the same family-driven dedication — celebrating Minnesota spirit, local partnerships, and the belief that great pizza isn’t just food. It’s connection.
