🍕 Shoreview's Going Wild for the Triple Pepzilla Pizza – Triple Pepperoni, Zero Regrets!

Triple Pepzilla Pizza: Triple the Pepperoni, Triple the Flavor

Why It's Taking Shoreview by Storm in 2026

Hi everyone, it's Owner Dave here from Mansetti's Pizza & Pasta in Shoreview, Minnesota. As we gear up for our big 40th anniversary this year – can you believe we've been serving up award-winning pizza since 1986? – I'm beyond excited to dive deep into one of our newest and boldest creations: the Triple Pepzilla Pizza. If you're searching for the best pepperoni pizza in Shoreview MN, or just craving a thin-crust masterpiece loaded with spicy, crispy pepperoni, this is the pie that's got everyone talking.

I've been part of Mansetti's since I was a 17-year-old kid bussing tables back in 1994, and I took the reins as owner in 2001. Over the years, I've learned one thing: Shoreview folks love their pepperoni. Classic, simple, satisfying. But last year, I thought – why stop at classic when we can go legendary? That's how the Triple Pepzilla was born. It's not just a pizza; it's a pepperoni lover's dream come true, with triple layers of our special slow-cured pepperoni piled high for maximum flavor in every single bite. Let me take you behind the scenes and tell you why the Triple Pepzilla Pizza at Mansetti's Shoreview is quickly becoming a fan favorite – and why you need to try it tonight.

The Foundation: Our Signature Thin-Crust Perfection

Everything at Mansetti's starts with the crust. We've been voted best thin-crust pizza in Shoreview year after year by the Shoreview Press, and there's a reason for that. Our dough is hand-tossed fresh daily using a family recipe that's stayed true for decades. It's rolled thin for that perfect golden-brown crunch on the edges, with just enough chew in the middle to hold up under all those toppings – especially the heavy load on the Triple Pepzilla. We bake every pizza in our classic brick ovens, which give it that authentic Italian flair: slightly charred bubbles, even heat distribution, and flavors that meld together like magic. No conveyor belts here – just old-school craftsmanship that makes our thin-crust pepperoni pizza in Shoreview stand out from the chain spots.

The Sauce and Cheese: Simple, Fresh, Unbeatable

Next comes our homemade sauce. It's a closely guarded family recipe – tangy, slightly sweet, made from premium tomatoes and herbs that complement the pepperoni without overpowering it. We spread it generously but not too thick, because on the Triple Pepzilla, the star is that meat. Then, a blanket of 100% real mozzarella cheese. Fresh, gooey, and melted to perfection in those brick ovens. It's the ideal base that lets the pepperoni shine while adding that classic stretchy cheese pull everyone loves.

The Star: Triple Layers of Pepperoni Perfection

Here's where the Triple Pepzilla earns its name – and its "beast" reputation. We don't skimp on pepperoni at Mansetti's, but for this pizza, we went all in: with 3 layers of our special slow-cured, masterfully seasoned pepperoni. Why three layers? Because one is great, two is better, but three? That's the explosion of flavor that hits you with smoky, spicy, savory notes in every bite. Our pepperoni is premium quality – slow-cured for deeper taste, perfectly spiced with just the right kick. And here's the pro tip that sets us apart: we layer that pepperoni on top of the cheese. Why? Science and flavor, my friends. In the brick oven's high heat, those edges curl up and crisp perfectly, creating little cups of greasy goodness (the best kind!). You get crispy edges, juicy centers, and that irresistible char. It's texture heaven – crunchy, chewy, melty all at once. If you're a pepperoni fanatic searching for triple pepperoni pizza near me in Shoreview, this is it. No hidden layers buried under cheese – everything's front and center for bold, unapologetic flavor.
