Ronnally's Pizza, Woodbury, MN
Pepperoni Pizza at Ronnally's, Woodbury, MN, originally uploaded by Aaron Landry.
Just off of Interstate 494 and Valley Creek Road in Woodbury rests Ronnally's in a small strip mall. Inside is dimly lit with dark tables, booths along one side and a big gum ball machine.
Around since the 1970s, I've visited periodically over the years as it isn't far from my office. Others have the same idea too: sometimes there's office folk in business casual and golf polos with notepads. In the back I tend to remember seeing either a guy with a beard wearing a flannel shirt or maybe a couple mothers and their kids. You get the idea. Signs hang near the cash register joking that prices may change due to customer attitude and there's paid advertisements for local businesses on the paper placemats. For kicks, Ian, Nick and I asked what beer they had on tap and they have only one: Michelob Golden Draft Light. Heading back to work after lunch we opted to get sodas and water which came in extra-wide and tall red tumblers. We got some cheese bread which came simply as very thick toasted slices with liberal portions of cheese on top. Our pepperoni pizza came soon after. Thin, crispy crust with a generous serving of sauce and an even more generous serving of cheese. This is midwestern style pizza at its finest -- that is if you define "finest" as being the closest embodiment of its stereotypes. Midwestern style is generally known for the abundance of cheese, the square party cuts, the thin cracker-like crust and, well, more cheese on top of that. If that's your thing, this is it.
