Cool spot on the 50th and France district. Awesome record and atmosphere and even cooler menu. Every pizza was named after an employees mother. I recommend the Care Bear for Pizza and the Chopped Italian as a small plate. Overall a great place to go with a small group.

The vibes make this place special. Food is a nice bonus. Went around 7:45, were told it would be a 30 min wait, ended up being about 15. Waitress manning the waiting area was short with us though after we said we ordered at the bar as we didn’t know she came around for drinks orders. Our table waitress was super friendly. We got the calamari and arancini to start. Both were great. Lumache for the pasta w/ chicken and none of us liked it. I’m still looking for the chicken, and the sauce was very bland & almost tasted reheated. Elizabeth pizza was terrific, table favorite. Highly recommend. Patsy was also really good. Service was a little slow, and they never switch out your plates (which are tiny in the first place), so i didn’t love eating the second & third dishes off of my leftovers from the first. Overall a fun causal place.

The Mothership crew is always on point. The support you have shown & given to the community as of late, is so important!
Kudos.
On top of that….the pizza is on my top 5 list!
We ordered the 3 pies, great crust. Also had the meatballs, calamari, and naughty garlic knots. Washed it all down with some fancy drinks, beer & wine! We sat in the big corner booth-had views of all TV’s and music was bumpin!

I will start by saying it’s New Year’s Eve but since they don’t lower their prices I won’t lower my expectations. I ordered takeout over an hour ahead of time. Gave a decent tip bc it was a holiday. I got there and had to stand and wait for an extra twenty minutes.( I ordered over an hour ahead of time.) Then they bring me my order and I ask where the second salad was. They look at my order and say, “Good catch”. Then I get home and the pizza was burnt. And tasted exactly how the black part looks. If you tell me it’ll take 90 minutes ahead of time I’ll wait no problem. But I built in extra time for you to be relatively on time. And you SAW the pizza was burnt and sent me home with it anyway. And yes…also forgot my $15 salad. I summarized, yes.

I would rate everything a six if I could.
I have never done crack, but I imagine the garlic knots are a good analogue. The meatballs, and the chicken parm are close behind. Both are under “small plates” but they are not. The chicken parm is there because it doesn’t fit anywhere else. It deserves its own category: comes on a loaf of bread, pretty much.
Skip the garlic parm wings. They’re not anything special. We may have just gotten unlucky.
Henry, bartender who hated his name when he was six (he’s now at least seven, I think) is wonderful.
Get the strawberry basil gimlet. You don’t need to even like gin.

The Care Bear pizza was absolutely outstanding. Perfectly crisp crust, vibrant flavors, and a great balance of toppings. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience fell short.
The chop salad lacked complexity. I appreciated the fennel, but the overall flavor was flat. The orange, which sounded exciting on the menu, amounted to two tiny pieces, hardly enough to matter. The meat was too chunky, and the cheese cubes felt heavy. Thin slices and shredded cheese would have been a better choice.
The pasta was flavorful but laughably small for the $24 price tag, six noodles at best. It could have used a little more lemon zest to brighten it up, but even perfect seasoning would not make up for the portion size.
Service was somewhat disorganized, and fruit flies in the dining area did not help the experience. Our total was about $80 for one salad, one very small pasta, a pizza, and one drink (my partner had water). Overall, expensive, decent food, but small portions. With so many options in the Twin Cities, we could do better elsewhere.
Bottom line: Come for the pizza, but do not expect value or a well-rounded dining experience.

Waited about 15 min for a table at 5:30 on a Thursday. Great service and very nice employees that offered drinks while we were waiting. Our group tried a view different pizzas and apps. The wings, heirloom tomato, burrata, and garlic knots were great apps. We also enjoyed the Ama, Patty, and Elizabeth. The Elizabeth was a table favorite. Also we determined that they have a top espresso martini in the twin cities. Can’t wait to come back for pasta and take away pizza someday!

I’ll start with the positives. The service was good, overall. The staff were kind and friendly, and our waitress checked on us frequently. The food was just okay. I’ve tried a lot of woodfire pizzas, and this was, unfortunately, the worst quality in terms of taste, freshness, and level of greasiness out of all of the other woodfire pizzas I’ve tried. Besides this restaurant, I’ve tried Punch, Boludo, and Toro. If you’re going to charge 20-30 dollars per pizza, then my expectations will be high. I tried a couple of pizzas here. I liked the one that was similar to a Margherita (listed as the kay), but it doesn’t compare to other restaurants I’ve had a similar pizza at, and some of them were half the price of this one. I also tried the pepperoni, which was too salty. The chicken wings were pretty good, but again, not worth $15 or however much they were. In my opinion, either the quality of the food should be improved or the prices should be lower because I would not come back to pay that price for food that was subpar.

We’ve always walked by Mothership on our way to other restaurants and are glad we stopped in. The pizza was pretty good and with unique flavors. The price is about what you would expect for freshly made pizza. The calamari appetizer was slight overly inflated for the amount you get, but it was delicious. The place gets quite busy and because of the architecture, it gets very loud. Other then that I’d recommend coming and giving Mothers hip a try.

Really laid-back and friendly atmosphere with great pizza and nice cocktails. Expect a short wait for a table during peak hours. Service was warm and genuine, house staff definitely were a slice above.
