Galactic Pizza050

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's . . . the pizza delivery!

Galactic Pizza's caped crusaders, in pleasantly goofy makeshift costumes - sometimes even goggles! - deliver "pizza with a conscience" via ultra-cool, environmentally-friendly electric-powered pod vehicles (weather permitting). It's a big treat for kids to anticipate their arrival, though some might get a little shy.

Galactic uses local ingredients whenever possible in its fresh and delicious pizzas, pastas, and salads, and every dish is topped with those good vibes. Desserts are from local bakeries. For dining in, there's a high chair and booster in the 26-seat restaurant, which is furnished in bright colors with mismatched thrift store decor. There's patio seating in warmer months.

The values-led business also strives to reduce waste with biodegradable and recycled packaging, utilizes renewable wind energy, incorporates hemp into the menu, and donates 5% of its after-tax profits to charity. Owner Peter Bonahoom just wants people to imagine what the world might be like if every business were run this way.

Delivery area: From the Chain of Lakes to Highway 35W, between 46th Street and Loring Park.
