About Iron Bar & Grill
Iron Bar & Grill is a weekend brunch pizza spot in Minneapolis, MN, with a bright feel and open kitchen seating with a view of the line cooks. The kitchen leans into pizza done well, smoking their meats in a custom offset pit out back.
The signature item to try first is the Pepperoni, which has earned a loyal following. The rest of the menu rounds it out with options like Margherita, BBQ Chicken, White Pie, plus rotating specials that change with the season. Portions are generous for the price point ($$), and the kitchen is consistent — orders come out fast even when the place is full.
On a typical day you'll find couples on date night and groups celebrating birthdays, especially around the lunch and dinner rushes. The bar pours old-school fountain drinks, hand-spun shakes, and bottled root beer. Kids' menu items are available all day for under $7. The dining room is clean, the music is at a reasonable volume, and the wifi works.
For ordering, the takeout window stays open even when the dining room is at capacity. Expect a short wait at peak hours, but the line moves quickly. Whether you're new to Minneapolis or a longtime resident hunting for a reliable pizza fix, Iron Bar & Grill earns a spot in the regular rotation.

Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Veggie Supreme was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Pepperoni and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Margherita was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Veggie Supreme hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Great pizza option for the area. The BBQ Chicken was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
