fried pizza mn | 612 food

Mucci’s was created by the evil geniuses behind Strip Club Meat and Fish and Saint Dinette. It is a tiny place tucked away on Randolph across the street from an old school liquor store. If you are on a diet I would not recommend this restaurant. Someone recently asked me how I would compare Mucci’s to other restaurants in town. I would say this is the Italian step brother of Revival. Pure gluttony. A large portion of the menu is fried. Whether it is the Montanera style pizza, doughnuts (on the weekends), seafood, ribs, cauliflower, you get the idea. Other than the fried items they make fresh pasta with seasonal ingredients that is some of the best in town. I also tried the The Gabagool which is a hoagie bun with all of the trimmings. Think Italian hoagie. Multiple types of meat (some if not all made in-house), cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, that vinegary dressing to cut through the fat. Unless I’m out of the know I will say it was definitely the best I’ve had in town. The other extremely popular items would be the lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread. (If you go you have to get a full order with the meat sauce on the side). They also offer a $30 price fix menu that is 3 courses and changes daily. I was extremely impressed with the dishes I got and cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Like Revival, my only complaint is that getting into this place can be difficult (especially if you are more than 2 people). They do not take reservations and the place is very small. My recommendation is to go right at 5 or close to closing time. There are bars relatively close so you can get your name in and enjoy a beverage at a nearby watering hole ( there are some old school gems nearby ).
