Why Nominate Mansetti’s Pizza & Pasta for 2026?

At Mansetti’s Pizza & Pasta, located at 3999 Rice St, Shoreview, MN, we’ve been proudly serving authentic Italian cuisine with a focus on community spirit since 1986. Our family-owned restaurant has been a beloved destination for residents of Shoreview, North Oaks, and Vadnais Heights, offering a classic menu that ranges from hand-tossed pizzas to creamy fettuccine Alfredo and our signature, award-winning Mama’s Lasagna. As we look ahead to 2026, here’s why we are asking for your nomination:

Proven, Award-Winning Food You Know and Love

Mansetti’s is grateful to have a trophy case full of accolades from the Shoreview Press. For several consecutive years, including 2023, 2024, and 2025, we have been honored to be voted:

• Best Place for Pizza

• Best Place for Lasagna

• Best Italian Restaurant

• Best Salad

  
  

We are committed to bringing that same consistent quality to your table in 2026. Our fan-favorite Triple Pepzilla Pizza—loaded with three separate layers of pepperoni for the ultimate texture—and our House Special Pizza, packed with premium Italian sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and black olives, continue to satisfy cravings. Our famous Mama’s Lasagna, featuring four rich layers of meat, house-made sauce, cheese, and noodles, has been recognized as the best in Shoreview for good reason—it is comfort food at its very finest. And don’t forget our fresh, bold-flavored salads, like the award-winning Antipasto Salad, that complement any meal.

A Community Hub for Forty Years

Mansetti’s is not just a place to eat; it is a space where our neighbors make memories. From first dates to large family gatherings, our cozy dining room in the Gramsie Square shopping center has served as the backdrop for generations of Shoreview stories. Owner Dave began his journey here as a 17-year-old slinging pizzas in 1994, eventually taking over the business in 2001. Dave has poured his heart into making Mansetti’s a home away from home. Celebrating over 30 years with the restaurant, Dave and the entire team are more committed than ever to serving the community that has supported us since 1986.

Flexible Options for Every Situation

Whether you are dining in, stopping by for takeout, or ordering delivery to your door, Mansetti’s has you covered in 2026. Our famous lunchtime pizza buffet remains one of the largest in the north suburbs, offering a constantly rotated selection of pizzas, pastas, salads, and more—ideal for a fast and satisfying meal.Are you planning an event? Our customized catering services are perfect for parties of all sizes. We can create menus featuring pizzas, pastas, salads, and we feed a crowd without breaking your budget.

Our Continued Commitment to Quality

Every dish at Mansetti’s is prepared using the freshest possible ingredients. Our pizza dough is made in-house fresh daily, and our sauces—from zesty marinara and rich meat sauce to creamy Alfredo—are crafted from scratch with care. We carefully source high-quality toppings to ensure every single bite bursts with flavor. This dedication to consistent quality has earned us consistent 4.5-star ratings on Google, based on hundreds of glowing, real-life reviews from neighbors like you.
