Food was good. Portions were good. Small little place and it was pretty busy. That’s when you know that’s the place to be. :)Parking is a little small and of course no one knows how to park but we were lucky enough to get a spot.Customer service was amazing. Everyone was so nice. Keep in mind this place takes cash only.

Great little neighborhood place with pizza and pasta. Not a lot of variety in pizza but the ones they have are great. They don't skimp on the meat or cheese, so a 14" pie is easily good for 3 people. Dine-in looks like nice and family-friendly but one star off because they don't serve much alcohol; just Miller lite and a house red.

This place was awesome. I had a large sausage pizza and it was prepared with excellence. I noticed alot of people eating breakfast items that looked mouth watering. So if I was to return I will be having the breakfast menu and I know I won't be disappointed. When I saw some of the breakfast items coming to the floor my mouth was watering but I chose to have a pizza instead. Overall if you are looking for a small town diner experience and are craving breakfast I would highly recommend The Little Oven and also for lunch items to. Also the staff was very nice and helpful at making sure u had service the whole time unlike some restaurants where they tend to forget about you and make you wait to have your beverage refilled.

I have been going to The Little Oven fir 20+ years and had the worst experience ever. I went to order buy one get one large pizza free and was told that deal was no longer going on, so I ordered a large pizza instead. When I got there to get my pizza I was shocked to find the larger pizza was now a small. The lady at the register said thats the way they are now. So I told her thats wrong and she said well you told me wrong when you ordered. I said no I told you large and thats what I expect. She offered for me to wait and she could order another but you would have to wait as there were others in front of you. I said no and paid and left. Right before I left there were two other people complaining one person ordered two pizzas and the person was mad because they thought it was buy one large get one large free. The lady said no. The other person ordered spaghetti and wanted sauce on the side. They screwed that order up to and didn't listen to the person and put it over the noodles. I ended up going home and ordering another pizza from Pizza Hut to feed my family. Sad… While I was waiting for my pizza from Pizza Hut I went online and looked at The Little Ovens website. Sure the had two large pizzas for $20.00. Crazy!!! I don't know if was a bad day or a new hire but if they don't get their act together they will continue to piss off customers and eventually go out of business. If you decide to go there ask what size there large pizza size is. For me it was small. Dissatisfied Long Time Customer…..5/2/22 at 7:00pm.

I love tiny, cozy restaurants. I've had their pizzas many times for the grandkids birthdays. It was a really good deal. They're supposed to have the best Lasagna. And it was good! It was really comparable to the Olive Gardens Lasagna. But the Little Oven's portion size was huge!! I had to take the rest home and got 3 more meals out of it!Definitely recommend this place! And they're prices are good! ???

Dago sandwich was good, wife had the lasagna and both of us agree it was amazing. Guest had cod lent special and finished their plate, so must have liked it. Bring cash!

As usual the food is delicious prices are low portions are huge. I have been dining here since I was 10 years old that's 31 years now I've been an oven fan. The meals are delicious and the staff is amazing. Always smiles eager to make your dining experience five star. If you have not been you have no idea what you're missing. Truly Minnesota's number one Hidden Gem.

Had the pavarati burger! Always delicious, comes with burger patty, Italian sausage patty cheese pepperoni and sauce. Super good. Very big and filling.

Had placed order and salad arrives almost immediately. 4bites into salad and entree is brought out. Seriously just that fast. French fries not done and cold. Fish hardly warm. Popovers ice cold. Server was very nice and very busy with other diners. But its obvious that the idea is get them in and get them out. Total time at table 35 min from order to completion of eating. Wasn't much eaten either as food was worst ever from there. Used to be a dining fan but now a dinner to avoid. Price for cold food and hurried ambiance too much.

It was just ok. I got 1/2 spaghetti and 1/2 ravioli. The sauce reminded me of chef boyarde. My husband had the variety plate. The lasagna was pretty good. The oven bread seemed stale and we had to wait really long for a table. It seemed like they were short staffed, but there were employees who were standing around rather than clean tables. Our server was great though.
