Broadway Bar & Pizza

We went in for some deep dish pizza and were not disappointed! The ambience is definitely homey and a little tacky — there is a train up by the ceiling that runs around the restaurant. HUGE hit with kids in the restaurant. Service was good, but not great.
As for the pizza, we got the Classic Deluxe. It was delicious — great pie and nice crunchy crust. If I was to be picky about anything I would say it was a little greasy — but hey, it’s deep dish pizza is supposed to be that way! One pie is certainly more than enough for two people and they provide you with great take-​out boxes for the leftovers. The beer selection is pretty good.
Overall good experience, and I will certainly return, but I wish the server came by a little more.

Went to the buffet with my family went to get a plate to eat from the buffet and the first 20 plates had food on them they were dirty it was disgusting played actor played wasn’t washed properly food crusted on it and this is what we’re supposed to eat off of I told the waitress she didn’t seem very concerned just want to get new plates I like that from thinking as if they can’t figure out how to wash a dish properly how do they prepare the food needless to say I left

Met friends here while we were in Rochester for a Mayo Clinic appointment. The pizza was very good and there were many options for toppings as well as different crust options. Our friends a vegans and we are carnivores but there were options that kept all parties happy!
This place is kind of cool too, there a model train that goes around the restaurant. Our server was friendly, efficient and quick.
If there was a Broadway Bar & Pizza in Omaha, Nebraska then we would be eating there.

9 April 2016– My family and I decided to give this place one more chance. Our first experience was not very enjoyable but we put that aside and decided to give it another chance. The second time around did not go very well, it actually was even worse.
Our food literally took 55mins to come out, we would understand if the restaurant was full but it was a typical dinner hour. Customers who were seated after us received there food before we did. My two kids were growing impatient like any other toddler, after waiting for such a long time. In total we spent 2 hours in the restaurant which most of that time was not enjoyable.
The food is mediocre at best. Nothing sets this place aside from any other pizza place. We will never visit this place. And I do not recommend this place to anyone. If you go make sure you eat a snack before.

Just finished a wonderful meal at Broadway Bar & Pizza. Food was great! Cheese bread was delicious! Service was excellent! Love the train! This it’s definitely a go to place!

This restaurant is located next door to the Microtel by Wyndham in Rochester, Minnesota. The atmosphere is very friendly. They have an huge bar area, so I could see watching the games here with friends. I do however, appreciate that they have a large family-​friendly dining area.
The food: I’m eating the Classic pizza with a gluten free crust. The crust is nice, and not too crispy like I’ve seen other gluten free crusts. There special sauce has a little kick to it, but it’s not over bearing. According to the history, the special sauce recipe was brought to America by its founder, who was from Italy.
The customer service is great, and I recommend it!

Ok this place is a great spot the staff super knowledgable about the menu and their honesty was great the bartenders are sweet and cute just not the best mixologists — that’s ok I can guide them to the way I prefer my cocktails and frankly I a pain in the butt on how particular I am. The hoagies are yummy and the restaurant was clean and the atmosphere is perfect

Always solid. Great people here. Very well run operation. They hire the right staff who prides themselves on service.
Now they are doing a live music run on Saturday nights. Not sure how many are left, but out sounds like fun. Wish I were on a mailing list to know the latest happenings?
It’s not anywhere near crowded enough and I want then to succeed. They have a great location. 2 things would make it better.
Pricing. It’s a little on the high side for a pizza place. Don’t forget to keep promoting hot deals to get people in the door.
Improve the bar scene. Bars are weak in this part of town. Listen to your regulars and you’ll get more of them. The music idea is brilliant. It needs to be promoted.

Followup to my original post. My bank upheld my complaint and reviewed my complaint. The charge was investigated by FIRSTBANK out of Boulder Colorado and the entire charge was reversed and the charge retired to my account. This complaint could easily have been resolved with a little reasonable compromise. I can’t recommend Broadway pizza and had the manager worked out a solution rather than continued to argue I never would have filed the complaint. Customer satisfaction is important in a restaurant review. The attempt to compromise was one sided. Be sure to clearly document your complaint and show that you made every effort to reach a reasonable settlement but don’t be afraid to refuse service and demand a refund when satisfaction is not upheld.

Meh.
Ordered the chicken Philly with a salad instead of fries (paid an extra 1.50 for the salad).
Salad had brownish, wilted lettuce, mushy tomatoes. The full Midwestern salad catastrophe.
Sandwich came on naked bun, had to beg for mayo and mustard.
Server vanished, so I turned to the flies for company.
If you are thinking about opening a place, open near them and steal their customers.

I was unable to become a customer because they only deliver to the NW side of rochester, though I live 5 blocks away. As an out of towner who just moved in looking for a great go-​to pizza joint, they’ve just fallen off the list for a stupid policy, and lost 2 to 3 years of business from a potentially loyal customer. Broadway pizza fail.

Two stars for having a GF menu and for booth space but otherwise, meh. I ordered a custom GF pizza and felt ripped off paying $ 1.80 per topping. Could scarcely find more than five or six bits of anything under the cheese. And that’s for the whole pie.
The light above my table was out. Two different servers laughed about it but didn’t fix it so I ate my million dollar pizza in the dark.
I ended up scraping ingredients off the dough and eating the crust only. Not a great dining experience though everyone was friendly enough.

This place is Great for Gluten Free! Lots of Gluten Free Choices. From Cheesy Garlic Bread to Pizza and Pasta! I chose the Pizza and it did not Disappoint. Cheese Pizza with Black Olives. Our Shuttle Driver, at the Hampton Inn Rochester North, recommended this restaurant. There are plenty of other non gluten free items on their menu for people who eat Normal Food. My husband had Regular Pizza and said it was fabulous! I was in town visiting Mayo Clinic & will be returning at the end of July will make it a point to visit this great place!!!

I chose this place because it was so close to my hotel. I’m really happy I did. The baked penne with meatballs was delicious. The garlic toast was also really good. I kept eating past being full and there was still food left on the plate when I was done. I also appreciate that they were generous with their wine pours.
The service was fine. There was a good bit of children screaming, so clearly they cater to the family crowd. It didn’t diminish my enjoyment of the meal.

a two-​time customer
Dine In: polite waiter, great thin crust sausage. There is a toy train set that runs along the track above head. My daughter loved watching that.
fair price for check. Had more than enough left over to go. A Medium za’ looks like a large ! (Chicago Large)
Delivery: Kind phone service. the person on phone took time to make sure my order was right and made good suggestions. I ordered the pound of wings ½ plum sauce (nice spice kick) and ½ sweet and sour.
The delivery driver was so kind and without my having to ask brought paper plates, napkins and flatware with our order. They were mindful they were delivering to my hotel and we didn’t have any.
I ordered a healthy thin crust small (was big enough for 3 to eat as a light appetizer)
with feta, red roast pep, black olive and onion. Lightly sauced. They make a great thin crust. Its not hard, its soft for a perfect chew.
After a hard day at Mayo Clinic, this meal more than made up for it.

Place is Alwayz the Bomb for Thin Crust Pizza!!!
Place is Huge and Clean environment
Nice HDTVS around entire restaurant
2 thumbs way Up

Good pizza! We got ½ black and green olive and ½ deluxe on NY style crust. Started with garlic cheese toast and marinara sauce. The toast was alright, nothing super special.
Atmosphere was relaxed but nice. There was a train running around a track at the top of the room. Our waitress was nice and attentive.
Would we go back? Yep!

While staying in Rochester, there are a few places that deliver, but they are pretty limited. My mom is weary of Chinese places that she doesn’t really know (she’s a Chinese food snob, and she knows what’s good!!) so we decided to go with pizza. Ironically, we didn’t end up GETTING pizza, but I digress!
We called and found out the soup of the day (Chicken Dumpling), found out if they delivered to our hotel (they did), how much the delivery fee was ($ 2). After all of my probing questions, I said I would call back. She was very patient with all of my questions when I wasn’t even placing an order right away, bless her heart.
So we ended up getting a taco wrap w/​a side of soup instead of fries. I got the baked chicken spaghetti that comes with garlic bread and the salad.
When they say «side salad» they mean «amazing-​salad-​that-​could-​double-​as-​a-​meal-​andplusalso-​includes-​bacon». Because everything is better with Bacon on it. True story.
The chicken dumpling soup was WONDERFUL. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but it definitely hit the spot. One disappointment I had was the baked spaghetti, however, When I opened the container, ALL of the «baked» part of the cheese was stuck to the top so badly that there was no way for me to scrape it off, so I missed out on all of that cheesy goodness. The sauce was good, but there definitely wasn’t enough of it, and the chicken on it was a bit over-​peppered. So that was pretty sad.
But my mom’s taco wrap was AMAZING. I would highly, highly recommend getting that to anyone. It was chocked full of ingredients and had tons of flavor. The spinach wrap was a nice touch rather than just a plain flour tortilla!
The delivery was quick and courteous, and they even had foresight enough to provide us with napkins, silverware, and bunch of paper plates. I was really impressed with this thoughtful touch!
We would definitely order from them again if ever in the area!

Great wait staff. This place was busy!
We each ordered the supper buffet. The salad and pizza on the buffet were just right. Drinks arrived quickly, and empty plates were removed just as quickly.
A good price for the food. Will repeat visit.

Chicago crust as well as the thin crust are outstanding! Have not tried NY Style but all three are available. The pizza was served hot and was very good. Now the wait staff was another thing, at least last night. This is my third visit since it opened and last night was extremely slow!
The setting is fun for kids of all ages. Model trains circling the bar and dining area are a nice touch. The railroad theme is wonderful to the railroader at heart.
The other menu items look very good as I watch several dishes pass my table. The chicken wings look very golden and crispy!
Don’t forget to press the train whistle located near the bar. Now that is truely fun for all ages…
Overall worth the time to stop at the newest Broadway Pizza!
