Andrea Pizza Minneapolis: Authentic NY Slices Near UMN Campus

Frank & Andrea: Dinkytown’s Late‑Night Legend

Dinkytown has reinvented itself countless times, but one thing stays gloriously the same: Frank & Andrea, holding down the heart of the University of Minnesota campus area at 1235 4th St SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414. For generations of students, night owls, and late‑night wanderers, this hybrid powerhouse—combining the iconic heritage of Andrea Pizza's giant New York-style slices with authentic Philly cheesesteaks—has served as the neighborhood’s unofficial culinary headquarters.

A Slice of Twin Cities Food History

Frank & Andrea has never tried to be fancy, and that is exactly why it is a beloved institution. Originating from the Gambino family’s 1970s New Jersey roots, the signature recipes built a fierce reputation across downtown Minneapolis skyways before expanding to campus in late 2015.

With oversized pies, a high-energy counter, and the unmistakable aroma of fresh dough drifting into the street, it is a no-nonsense staple. Walk in once, and you instantly understand why it is a campus landmark.

Delivery: Campus, Marcy‑Holmes — and Downtown Minneapolis

Frank & Andrea’s delivery is a literal lifeline. While campus area delivery runs from open to close every single day, they also offer dedicated weekend delivery windows stretching straight into the heart of the downtown commercial districts.

Takeout: The Grab‑and‑Go Ritual

Takeout here is a rite of passage. Walk in, point at the massive slice you want in the glass case, and two minutes later you are back on the sidewalk with a steaming, foldable New York-style slice perfect for eating on the move. From classic pepperoni and sausage to heavy-hitting specialty slices, it never misses.

Eat‑In: The Late‑Night Living Room

Inside, the vibe is pure, beautiful Dinkytown chaos. Students, locals, concertgoers, and campus characters pack the tables. Someone is debating a philosophy lecture, someone else is arguing about the Minnesota Twins, and a group in the corner is laughing way too loudly. It is warm, rowdy, messy, and exactly what a college neighborhood joint should feel like.
