The 501 Club, the year-old sister bar to the 331 Club, quickly became one of the better music venues for local music in the city. It's a "club" in two parts: music venue in the front and a bar/restaurant in the back. There's never a cover charge; there's a decent selection of booze and usually something going on in the late evenings. After numerous recommendations, I've explored the pizza here a few times. The pies are 14 inches and cut in triangles or squares depending on your preference. They're good for two very hungry people or more comfortably, three people. I've fallen in love with their cheese pizza. This "cheese" pizza may more accurately be described as a Margherita pizza derivative as it plays up fresh tomato chunks and basil. From the bottom up: the crust is a bit sweet and very chewy. There's hardly any sauce to speak of and the crust goes straight to the cheese, which is a very flavorful and non-greasy mozzarella that tastes fresh. It has a bite that offsets the sweetness of the rest of the pizza. In lieu of much sauce, there are large chunks of juicy tomatoes, all topped with basil. Overall it's a very tasty and addicting pizza. Arguably, the 501 Club's pizza is the best you can get at a music venue in Minneapolis. With a half-off special on this pizza every 11pm-1am, it will continue to be difficult for me to not order in the future. Strongly recommended. 501 Club 501 S Washington Ave Minneapolis, MN 55415 612-338-3848
