Carbone's Pizzeria - Long Lake

Mar 9th, 2024

Fast, cooked just the way we like it on top. Unbelievable great service (friendly) Local pizza at it's best. Great experience. Thanks. Parking: Arrived at non peak time and parking wasn't bad. There are two Handicap parking spots right up front and park beside them might be limited. But nothing that is bad.

Great staff, and the owner is a great guy (I don't know his wife). Some constructive suggestions: 1. The prices are high relative to the value of the items I have tried, both pizza and the sandwiches. 1. Wings: the standard order of wings is only 10 relatively small wings, and one time they were overcooked. 2. I ordered the French Dip, and while it was good, it just didn't make me say "wow" inside when it was placed in front of me. Besides, it was essentially a half of a sandwich. 3. Perhaps, the burgers are the best bet, can't really complain. 4. However, as Carbone's is a pizza restaurant, while I haven't tried all of the different pizzas, the ones I have tried I would say are good, but not great. My points of reference for fabulous food in comparison at better prices are the Detour 19 in Loretto (their French Dip will rock your boat as will an order of their wings, as will their homemade pizza, and everything else on their menu). Thus, when a group of us wants great pizza, sandwiches, etc., that is one of our first choices. Another great choice, farther away, but worth the drive, is Schuller's in Golden Valley. Ditto on everything I just mentioned regarding Detour 19. Thus while Carbone's is minutes away, we drive to where the food is top shelf. For take out, Forkless, in Maple Plain makes Rock Star wings and their ribs are out of this world, and Monies pizzia and burgers are great. Thus, to the owner of Carbone's: Please visit Detour 19 and Shullers and see what they are doing and do what they are doing. I would recommend maybe a few changes to your decor, make it like a Northern Wisconsin Bar up in the woods, and You will be off to the races, packed to the gills every night!!!!!! My 2 cents.

Bartenders ignore you unless you are a regular. She and He would rather do dishes than make eye contact with me standing there. Pizza and the waitress were great! Atmosphere not so much. I have been here at least three times and had the same experience with the bartending staff.
