Italian (Southern), Pizza
Dulono's offers pizza, pasta, and an assortment of sandwiches and appetizers. On Friday and Saturday nights, Dulono's hosts live bluegrass and folk music.
Dulono's Pizza is known for its thin crust pizza, but also offers pasta, subs and a veggie burger. Located near the heart of Uptown's Lyn-Lake area, playing host as a popular venue for live bluegrass music, and being a favorite hangout of the area's Minneapolis Police officers, Dulono's serves a varied and diverse clientele. The reasonable prices on the menu are as stubbornly rooted in simpler, bygone days as are the restaurant's staff and decor. There are only a few vegan options, but the pizzas accommodate a significant selection of vegetarian choices, such as broccoli, spinach, and tomatoes. Dulono's also offers delivery service to a wide area.

Dulono's is a good place to go with a group of friends on a Friday or Saturday nite to listen to bluegrass. If you like beer, it's even better. The only time I have ever eaten their food was a take out pizza late at night - veggie with no cheese. The pizza hit the spot, but I wouldn't pick it first in a line-up. I know a lot of pizza places skimp on toppings for the to-go or delivery pizzas, and this place could be one of those. I don't know, since I've never eaten in-house, but they definitely could have piled more on, especially since we passed on the cheese. I do have to say the thin crust pizza cut into squares was fun - reminded me of being little.
One of the only places I know that will serve beers way past last call. Even with the police sitting a few tables over. They just ask you to hide your beer behind the little stand up menus on the table. Oh, and they have yummy vegi-pizza too.
their vegetarian pizza -- tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, fresh garlic -- is one of the best anywhere in the metro area. in general, Dulono's serves some of the finest thin crust pizza around. for those of us who have an occasional weakness for fried appetizers, the breaded cauliflower is great, as are the breaded mushrooms -- both priced at $2.81 for a basket, at this writing. i haven't had the pasta or sandwiches, so i don't know if they're good or not. but it's worth a trip at least once, to see some local bluegrass music and enjoy a decent pizza or some cheap, tasty appetizers.
This place has my favorite vegetarian pizza in town. I have had it with a vegan friend and we skipped the cheese- that was good too. I like their thin crust and I love adding pineapple. Plus the beer and music are always fun. Beer prices- 9 bucks for any pitcher- can't beat that!
