🍕 The Story of Andrea Pizza (Capella Tower)

For decades, Andrea Pizza has been a beloved institution in the Minneapolis skyway system, legendary for keeping downtown workers fueled with authentic, massive New York-style slices.

Founded by the Gambino family, the business brings the traditional flavors of Brooklyn and Queens straight to the Twin Cities. 

The Capella Tower location is a high-energy weekday favorite. During the peak lunch rush, you will see a fast-moving line of business professionals, city workers, and locals snaking through the skyway counter. The magic of Andrea Pizza lies in their massive, tender, yet crispy crusts, premium whole-milk mozzarella, and a lively atmosphere backed by incredibly friendly, efficient staff who handle the high-volume crowds with ease.

🕒 Hours of Operation

Because it caters heavily to the downtown office and commuter crowd, this location operates strictly on a weekday schedule: 

• Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
• Saturday – Sunday: Closed 

(Pro tip: Get there right around opening at 10:00 AM for the widest selection of freshly baked gourmet slices before the heavy lunch crowd hits). 

Frank & Andrea’s delivers anywhere in downtown Minneapolis after 3 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends — link below
