13 Best Pizza Restaurants near Merrifield

“My family (husband, 3 boys, and I) came here on a Wednesday morning at about 8 am. The parking lot was mostly full, but there were many tables open inside. The restaurant was decorated with vintage/antique/recycled items, and sunshine streams in through the front window making it warm and inviting. We ordered at the counter, then found a table to sit at while we waited for our food. The beverages are self-serve, but the food was brought to the table. We didn't wait too long, and we were rewarded with wonderful food and smiling service! My husband and I ordered The Whole 9 Yards (eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, and potatoes all covered in sausage gravy), my 11-year-old and 6-year-old ordered the French Toast Special, and my 9 y.o. ordered a blueberry pancake - which the waitress/hostess said was very large - and it was, about the size of 3 pancakes! The pancake tasted like a blueberry muffin and needed no syrup. The Whole 9 Yards was rich and tasty! The French toast was served with bacon and cheesy scrambled eggs and was quickly devoured. Everyone thought that everything was very good! If we are in the area again, we would definitely go back!“

“BREAKFAST SPOT (sorry didn't mean to yell lol but you gotta come here)! Came here with my family for breakfast, as we were staying up @ Breezy Point for the week and read all the other wonderful reviews. You order at the counter then pick a spot to sit. Waitstaff were all super friendly and welcoming. The whole country/antique vibe of the restaurant was absolutely adorable. They also have a loft library with lots of books for kids, was a huge hit! We ordered the weekly specials off the board & they did not disappoint. My mom got a Wild Rice Omelette that was absolutely AMAZING, my mouth waters just thinking about it. The kids got huge pancakes. They ate them all & asked for more. We will definitely return again when in the area & highly recommended everyone to go here asap!“

“Another fantastic meal at Mission! Great staff! Waited all day for that Bloody Mary. Best french fries ever! Doesn’t matter what you pick it’s all excellent. Burger was soooo good!! Eat here! Drink here! You’ll love it!Kid-friendliness: Always great to our family.“

“Tasty Pizza North!! When you know...you know! Been eating pizza here since they opened in the 90's. Best yum ever!! Fresh and hot! Feels like we are family. Great menu of other items too...staff always pleasant. Hoping to get the Xtra large pizza back sometime. Check out the menu online, and when you are in the Brainerd Lakes area, stop in. You will be smiling and coming back again too!?????Kid-friendliness: Game area! Lots of families visit here.Wheelchair accessibility: Low incline ramp to enter.“

“We went in to order a pizza to go. The pizza we wanted wasn’t on the menu, they were very friendly and said they would make the pizza we wanted…cheeseburger pizza! Probably by far the best we’ve had!! They were very polite and accommodating!! I would definitely recommend this place to locals and those traveling or vacationing in the area!! We were from out of town and stayed at a local hotel! Glad we stopped in! Thank you!!!“

“First off, they've got this pickle dip that's just unreal. If you're a pickle fiend, you need to try it! The Street Taco and the Local are our absolute favorites. Imagine sinking your teeth into a slice loaded with cotija cheese, Barbacoa short rib, cilantro lime aioli, and all those taco flavors. It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth. And The Local with prosciutto, goat cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic? So. Good. I'll usually call ahead, and they're always super efficient and get it right every time for me. If you dine in, the place is a 90s kids dream. Some real retro and vintage treats for your eyes to dance around the room looking at! Oh, and here's the kicker: whenever I swing by for lunch, I can't resist ordering the chicken pesto melt. It's like comfort food on bread - always hits the spot. Trust me, once you try it, you'll be hooked.“

“Really really good pizza! Nice crispy crust, and good flavor.I tried a cider, it went perfectly with the pizza too.Game cards make it easy to play games, all the games worked well, no issues.The owner was really friendly and ensured the atmosphere was amazing. I highly recommend checking this place out, I know I'll be back the next time I'm in town!!“

“First time in Nisswa and we always ask the locals where to eat (everyone loves to talk food) :) When pizza was mentioned Rafferty's was the place to go. My other half is gluten free so it's always a struggle to find good GF crust. The young lady working the counter was great, took the time to show us which crust they use for GF pizza. Ordered a taco pizza and was nice to see chips on the pizza (a lost art).We really enjoyed the pizza. It's thinner than most so don't feel as guilty eating pizza and so stuffed once done. I'd certainly eat there again, the gluten free was spot on, wouldn't know it was GF if didn't order it ourselves. A+ coming from a couple of true foodies!!Now here's the funny part...had leftovers and once back to Grand View Lodge pizza box would not fit in little fridge, so with it being cool outside set it on the patio chair. Looked out a bit later and even squirrels can't resist Rafferty's Pizza! Let him have his fill of two full slices of taco pizza :)“

“We stopped here for a quick dinner and had gotten a couple pizzas to take 'n bake. We all got subs for dinner and they were amazing. Bigger than expected and fresh ingredients made these so delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more sub options. The pizzas we got were also amazing! Easy to follow baking instructions. I think the supreme needed 5-7 minutes longer due to the fresh veggies. Overall, I'd recommend checking out Mickey's and don't hesitate to get both subs and pizzas!“

“We're very grateful to have such a great pizza restaurant near by- Joe's goes above and beyond providing us with the best customer service and always delicious food. Their staff is top-notch, and we couldn't recommend them enough!!“

“I buy the gourmet vegetarian pizza almost every week for 3 years. It is such a downer to drive 45 miles round trip and find out no garlic sauce was put on the pizza. It's happened a few times.Vegetarian options: Don't forget the garlic sauce on the gourmet vegtarian!“

“The greatest dining experience of my life, the customer service was simply exquisite, the management was out of this world. If only every experience in my life could be as magnificent as the dining experience I had tonight, I could truly die a happy man!“

“Amazing!!! Pizza was so good and never had wings like these before. An added plus was the service - happy and on top of everything.“
