Great Pizza. Got to meet the owner and talk about the authentic products they are growing and processing on their families land in Italy and importing to the US.

So Glad I was introduced to Pasquale’s!! Delicious pizza! Will be coming back many times! Best Pizza in Rochester!

Excellent Service and Yum

The lunch special with a NY cheese slice, cannoli, and pop is a delicious bargain. Love their pizza, friendly staff, and generosity.

Amazing location and feel inside the restaurant, lots of variety in their selection as well for dine in options to grab a quick slice. Pizza was very flavorful, great ingredients going into it. They had lots of items in their location as well to bring home if your hankering to make your own food as well, like their sauces, noodles, and family olive oil, imported straight from Italy. Staff was attentive and friendly. Good place to grab a quick lunch or sit and stay a while with friends and a few drinks.

Hands down, if you want good…no….amazing pizza come here for a slice or a whole pie! Love the atmosphere, history on the walls, authentic gourmet products for take home recipes and the owners are absolutely hands on and kind. You will leave with an experience either from the food, people or any other products you can take home. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the food or history, they are more then willing to share and leave feeling like you just left a dear friends house.

I can't believe I had to go all the way to Rochester, MN to get the best vegan pizza on the planet! The restaurant makes their own vegan sausage (warning: soy based) and they use Daiya cheese. Something about the seasoning and the sauce makes you want more. The service was impeccable and the staff was super friendly. Pasquale himself asked us to come back and tell our friends. We were on a one day work trip from Dallas, TX. Traveling with my film crew is easy, but finding food for vegans and carnivores can be tough. Pasqual's atmosphere feels very east coast, and they even have Junior's Cheesecake from NY, which my husband loved! The authentic pizza parlor smell will reel you in as soon as you hit the door. They have just about everything they offer for sale in the refrigerators and plenty of dessert options (non-vegan). While I'm plant based, I have a weakness for sweets so I tasted a macaroon and it was DIVINE. I highly recommend this place. The conversation the rest of the day was about how amazing the pizza was at this place. Guy Fieri...where are you??? Get to Pasquales!

I thought the pizza was very delicious and I would for sure go back for more pizza. It’s a nice stop for a quick lunch. If they only had a bar then it would be a perfect place for me.

I was in town for a visit and decided to try this place. From New Jersey originally and now living in Wisconsin, I’ve come to the harsh realization that really good pizza is almost non existent where I live. My wife and I figured we’d try Pasquale’s. The place was uniquely decorated. From the many options for pre-prepared take home options, including deserts, pasta and sauces, to the freshly prepared menu options, we of course decided on a pizza. This was AWESOME! The dough makes the pie. If you love New York / New Jersey style pizza, you have to make this a place to try if you’re ever in town. Staff was super friendly, especially since we had finished our meal shortly after closing time and truly felt as though they really wanted us to take our time as opposed to feeling like they wished we would quickly finish. Also, they have beer and wine :-)
