In his grandmother’s kitchen in Buenos Aires, Argentina, chef Facundo DeFraia, spent countless hours working side-by-side his grandmother learning the art of Argentinian cooking. Facundo brought his love of cooking to the west coast in the early 2000’s and relocated to Minneapolis to assist his childhood friend, James Beard award nominee, Daniel Del Prado, in opening Martina. After being named the dough wisperer by Rick Nelson, Minneapolis Star Tribune food writer, Facundo began dreaming up his own pizzeria concept. Inspired by his childhood Boludo was born in 2018 in the quaint Kingfield neighborhood in South Minneapolis. Boludo unites community and people through food and music, bringing a taste of Buenos Aires to Minneapolis.

Boludo is a great laid back pizza and empanada spot. They have friendly employees and a quaint atmosphere. I had the Pepperoni Pizza and Jamón Y Queso Empanada. The pizza has a unique shape and is pretty good sized. The pizza had a thin crust and was a great compliment to the sauce and the outstanding flavor of the pepperoni. The empanada was flaky and savory with the ham and mozzarella cheese. Parking might be my only complaint. Since it’s close to the U of M, the streets are lined with cars. Even with that, this is definitely a spot worth eating at!

Boludo Pizza is hands down one of the best pizza spots around. The crust is perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and the flavors are incredible — you can really taste the quality ingredients. The empanadas are a must-try too! The staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere has a great local vibe. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down with friends, Boludo never disappoints. Definitely recommend!

Amazing customer service, the space is small but the atmosphere is welcoming. We parked on the street and dined in. Enjoyed a Pizza Margherita, carne empanada and mango margarita. The churro donuts were really delicious, they were made to order which was the best part because they were soft and hot and sweet.
Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for filling and delicious bites.

The pizza is always good, but I expected more from the salad. It was a large bowl packed with lettuce, a teaspoon of toppings, and a tablespoon of dressing.

I was surprised to see they had “beef empanadas” so we went there to have a look at the menu, we ordered some beef , puerro and spinach empanadas as well as 2 orders of Churros donuts ( please note that the sauce is extremely sweet you may want to use a little bit or you may not) .
We also asked to add some chimichurri sauce in our empanadas and let me tell you that all we ordered was really good, super fresh and delicious. This place is our favorite spot to eat from now on. And the best part of the restaurant is the staff…. Super nice people and friendly, they explained every single detail about the menu… (we have allergies) and they were very helpful to separate pecans from our Flan …. Thank you so much guys!!!!
we absolutely recommend this place.
oh by the way their packaging is super fancy and stylish which is a good idea if you have a potluck/ gathering.

Wow. One of the best gluten free crusts I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. I got takeout, and I think that was a good choice. The atmosphere is a bit small inside and could get loud if there are lots of people. Back to the GF crust!! I swear they have some sort of magic ingredient to make this so good. Usually, GF crust is small, thin, dry, grainy, and burnt. I was so happy when the crust I bit into was light, airy, and soft. So refreshing!!! There were even air bubbles in the crust (see pictures)?? Didn’t know gf crust could do that. Tastes almost like a croissant. The pepperoni was phenomenal, salty and fatty as it should be. The tomato sauce was so tasty and light and fresh, you could tell they make it from scratch. The amount of cheese can be overwhelming, but I loved it. See video for a cheese pull! I will definitely grab takeout from here again. Excited to try other pizzas, but the pepperoni is so darn good.

The absolutely BEST pizza and Cesar salad you will ever have! Do not miss out on this Boludo or their other location – you will not regret it! Such a lovely addition to this community and the friendliest staff.

All the rating goes to the food and not the environment, which means that when I get food from Boludo next time I will most likely do takeout instead of dine in, which is totally okay, because based on the food alone, Boludo absolutely deserves a 5.
The empanadas are just delicious and each kind offers such a different type of flavor dimension. The only ones that tasted similar were carne and pollo because they used similar kinds of seasoning. I could taste the cumin visibly for both. The other kinds were pretty representative of their respective menu descriptions. There was also a small container of sauce we could use for the empanadas, and I don’t know what the sauce was made from, but it was really good! Totally offered an even new kind of flavor. I have to comment on the Messi empanada because I actually liked it the least even if it was the special item. Its ingredients determined that it tasted almost like a hot pocket, and when I had it I just kept thinking “why am I ordering this here at Boludo” simultaneously.
In terms of the pizza, I had one bite of the Peras and I thought it was great. The only problem for me was personal, that I didn’t like gorgonzola cheese, so the “nasty” cheese taste made me realize how good the pizza would be for someone who loves that kind of cheese, and that’s why I thought it was great (even if not for me). The Margarita, on the hand, was out of this world for me! I have had this kind of pizza in many places, but this one in Boludo was so good because I could taste the basil so well even when there was clearly not a basil leaf on a slice, let alone on slices that actually had basil leaves. The cheese was visibly fresh, which was amazing as well. The pizza was really thin, so I actually had to use a fork to transfer it to my plate, but that’s okay because more content less crust anyway.
Okay, now that I have talked about the food, I must say that when I stepped in, there were dirty plates everywhere and no one was cleaning them up. Luckily no customers were there so I was able to find a clean table. In addition, a lot of the plates were not really well-washed because I could visibly see dirty spots and sometimes even leftover food marks still on most of the plates available for customers to grab. All of these observations tell me that next time I should pursue takeout here.
Regardless, the empanadas and pizzas were some of the best I have had anywhere in the Twin Cities and I would strongly recommend Boludo to anyone!

BEST IN SHOW WINNERS: the leek empanada and the churros doughnuts are the next in the state!
This place is known for great dough, and they are showing it in multiple forms. Stuffed as an empanada and as a pizza dough with a wide variety of flavors.
They are beautiful and innovative, A really a great place to have a date. A weekday you can find this place quiet, cozy, and ready for chatter.
It is the first time in all of my reviews that I’ve been in the bathroom, but didn’t have a mirror, and that was in glow-in-the-dark Black light.
