Truth, Justice, and Pizza!

Nestled in the heart of Minneapolis's Uptown district is an unassuming restaurant where mild mannered employees report every day to deliver truth, justice, and delicious pizza to the citizens of the city.


Step inside the brightly colored business and you immediately know this is not your ordinary pizzeria. Perhaps it was the red and blue glasses the waitress handed you to read your 3D menu, or maybe, just maybe it was the caped crusader who bolted out the back door to deliver a fresh hot pie.

Like the Hall of Justice, or the Fortress of Solitude, Galactic Pizza is home to spandex clad heroes, only these super humans are capable of delivering pizzas faster than a speeding bullet. Well maybe not that fast considering their delivery vehicles are little 3 wheeled electric powered Gizmos.

Saving the world one pizza at a time...

...is not just a motto, but a way of life for the Galactic Pizza founders. Their business model takes sustainability seriously, buying local ingredients for their offerings and running the restaurant on 100% renewable wind energy.

But wait! These aren't REAL heroes - they just deliver pizza... or do they? In a story pulled from the stranger than fiction file things at Galactic Pizza took a turn for the weirder in 2006 when delivery hero "Luke Pie Rocker" chased down and apprehended a purse snatcher after hearing the victim crying for help.


While it's not a requirement that all employees fight crime, every delivery driver develops a heroic persona, complete with uniforms custom made by a local seamstress. Past members of the Pizza League include:

• The Italian Scallion
• General Statement
• Captain Organic
• The Flying Squirrel
  
• and last but not least Captain Awesome

This interview of Captain Awesome provides more secret details about the hero squad behind Galactic Pizza, and his enigmatic, indestructible air guitar.


Aside from the pure pizazz of the packaging, you're probably wondering how the pizza tastes...

Favorite specialty pies include the Paul Bunyan (using ingredients local to Minnesota like Wild Rice, Morel Mushrooms and Buffalo) The Hipster (a Vegan offering whose name is a nod to the many customers that frequent the restaurant) and the Maui Wowie (a spicy spin on a Hawaiian pizza with jalapenos heating up an the otherwise average Canadian bacon and pineapple pie).

"Lights Out" and "The Beast" enjoy fighting crime by the slice.

Let's just say the menu is out of this world, and leave the PUN-ishment at that.
