New East Metro Punch Pizza Opens Friday

Punch Pizza opens in Woodbury at 11 a.m. Friday, Sept. 6.

Punch Pizza is located in the same building as FedEx/Kinkos at the northwest corner of Radio Drive and Valley Creek Road.

Punch serves Neapolitan-style pizzas that come out of an 800-degree wood-fire oven in 90 seconds.

“And it’s just like you get in Naples, Italy,” Jenny Nyquist, Punch director, said.

Punch Pizza has locations in Highland Park and on Grand Avenue in St. Paul, along with five others in the Twin Cities.

It serves a wide variety of pizza, and offers beer and wine. Salads are also on the menu.

The restaurant seats nearly 70 people, and a patio along Valley Creek Road will have room for about 50.
