The Toasted Frog

124 North 3rd Street, Grand Forks

The Toasted Frog is much more than a pizza joint, but you’ll be hard-pressed to order anything else after reading reviews like, “The best pizza I’ve had after living 7 years in Italy.” Anytime you can find pizza on a menu alongside gourmet dishes such as filet mignon, wood-fired prime rib melt, an elk burger, you can bet it will be good.

If you’re in the mood for something different, the Gorgonzola and Beef Tips pizza features beef tips marinated in balsamic and brown sugar, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, fresh basil, and garlic-infused olive oil. The Roma-Sonoma comes piled with artichokes, grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella.
