Are “pizza” and “convenience” words that resonate for you? Do you frequent downtown Minneapolis? If so, you need to discover the Downtown Diner (a.k.a. Downtown Pizza) on 5th Street! You can’t get much more convenient than the terminus of the light rail line and, the variety of pizza available will easily allow for non-repetitive visits.

They serve up New York style slices, stromboli, calzones, gyros and hoagies 6 days a week starting at 10 a.m. (They are closed Sundays.) Open until 2 a.m., you can count on them for lunch, dinner, or a late-nite, post-bar snack. The atmosphere is a bit austere, but the people watching is excellent and they offer (free?)1 WiFi access to those who are tied to technology.
