This Small Town Minnesota Pizza Joint Is One Of The Best In The U S

Minnesotans are lucky in many ways. We live in the Land of 10,000 beautiful lakes, we have endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, and there are cultural events to enjoy just about every night of the week. Not only that, but our state is home to more than a few delicious restaurants. Almost everyone loves pizza, so it should come as no surprise that there are quite a few tasty options in Minnesota. One of the best? A little pizza joint in the middle of nowhere that happens to be one of the best in the U.S.

Sven & Ole’s is a well-known spot in the tiny town of Grand Marais. You’ll find it at 9 Wisconsin St., Grand Marais, MN 55604.

Though Grand Marais is a popular vacation spot for Minnesotans, the town is definitely considered “middle of nowhere” by most standards. The nearest major city is more than 100 miles away.
