THE HOUSE STORY

Small Start, Big Reputation

House of Pizza was founded by Chicago native Bob Testa in 1964 as a quaint pizza and soda shop in St. Cloud. It didn’t take long for his famous thin-crust, SOTA-ZA, to earn a loyal following. Since our start, we’ve won countless awards and are consistently ranked the best pizza in Minnesota.

RUNNING THE HOUSE

House of Pizza is a family affair rooted deep in tradition and excellence. Today, the House is owned by Bob’s son Brandon, who continues to bring his father’s dream of delivering the best slice of pizza in Minnesota to life. With an all-star staff, you’re sure to have the best experience when you come to the House!

WHAT'S BEHIND THE SLICE

We use only the highest quality ingredients to make our famous pizza. With our original secret recipes, signature ovens, and commitments to providing an inviting and friendly setting, we’re proud to keep our delicious tradition alive for over 55 years, serving pizza that tastes just as amazing today as it did when we first began.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

We believe in giving back to the community that supports us. That’s why you’ll see us at local sporting events, community fundraisers, and even the next 5K. If you have a request or are looking for new fundraising opportunities, reach out today, and let’s connect over a fresh slice.

“Take care of your staff. Take care of your community. You do that and it’s going to pay off.”
