Heggie's Pizza (MSP)

[gavagai]

I'm wondering whether anyone knows where in St. Paul or Minneapolis I can find Heggie's pizza (the frozen pizza you find in bars in MN) to buy for the freezer at home. It's good stuff! Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I saw alot of heggies in Fresh Seasons supermarket in Minnetonka

[Uncle Ira]

They have a website at

http://www.heggiespizza.com/index.htm

It looks as if they sell only to restaurants, but it couldn't hurt to contact them to see what you can find out. Their phone number and e-mail address are on the page.

Let us know if you have any luck.

Sage Market in Mendota Heights carries a good selection. As does Mike's Butcher Shop in West St. Paul. I love them!

[churchka]

I'm guessing your favorite local bar may be willing to sell you some frozen ones at a slight mark up.

[rp1760]

Gavagai, where do you see this pizza in bars? I've only seen it in bars at or north of Milaca.

[churchka]

Tracy's Saloon has it, so does Casey's Bar and Grill.

[fetik3]

Station 4 in Lowertown (Downtown St. Paul) has them as well.

Heggies can be found all over the place now in smaller grocery stores. Thriftway and Super Valu in Crystal both have it.

[indyr]

Hegiie's Pizzas are also available at Von Hanson's.

[SmartCookie]

Everett's on 38th St and Cedar in South Minneapolis carries it now.

[raforce]

SuperValu on Cedar Lake Rd and Louisiana's got em!

How would you describe these pizzas? (Have never had them.)

[snoboardbabe77]

Karykat - Heggies pizzas come in 10 in or 12in rounds. They're made in Milaca, MN - and obviously come frozen. It's hard to describe the pizzas because it sounds like they're the most amazing things ever. They're just a good quality, frozen pizza. I've had their sausage and pepperoni....their deluxe and the one that has jalapenos on them.

I'd describe them as much - thinner crust-not super thin, but thinner. Their sauce is not overly spicy but has a decent enough kick that you're not thinking just a bland tomato sauce. They give a good coating over the entire pizza of real mozzarella cheese - not overly so, say like you'd get at Papa Murphy's pizza and their toppings are average...when I say average, I mean, not 50 slices of pepperoni or so many sausage pieces you will get sausage in every bite--but if you cut them in triangles, you'll get a few of each on each slice. Additionally, on the deluxe, they don't dice their green peppers, they're cut in rings.

In truth, my chowhubby really likes these things-and I think they're fine. For $6.59 (which is what I paid at Moto Mart) and far cheaper than Von Hanson's (7.99 for a pepperoni and sausage), they're good pizzas. You won't be raving to friends and family about them, but if you want something different than what the super markets offer-you'll like them.

I've never had these. How do they compare to Home Run Inn frozen pizzas?

[patnjod]

I personally think Home Run Inn is the perfect frozen pizza, but the Husband prefers Hegge's, so we keep both on hand. I am not a fan of their orangey-tomato sauce, but they're ok eating.

[mncharm]

HRI is fantastic. In fact, I'm going to have to buy one on the way home from work today...

[chazmo]

Picked one up at a convienence store in St Paul because it looked really good. It was what I would call expensive for a frozen pizza at over nine dollars. I know it would be cheaper at a larger store. My problem was it was so salty that after one piece I had to drink alot of water and could not eat another bite. I hope this was a fluke but don't think I would risk it again.

[chazmo]

I was reffering to the Heggies. No confusion I hope.

[SmartCookie]

I second Charzmo's experience at they are incredibly salty...so much so I will not try them again.

[Bobannon]

I agree too...very salty. I think it's the cheese they use. I like salt to not a big deal for me, but I understand it wouldn't appeal to everyone. I would describe them as better frozen pizzas.

[karykat]

Thanks much!

[GutGrease]

The SuperValu by Lake Nokomis on Cedar Ave & Minnehaha Pkwy sells them.

[tfay]

Al's in SLP serves Heggie's

[eker1170]

I'm one of their drivers. I have 4 routes in St Paul Stillwater areas. If you are in the area the best place to go for selection and price is the Oakdale Cornerstore off of Geneva and 694.

[paperbackwinter]

Good pizza, but $8.99 for a frozen pizza? I'll buy Little Caesar's.

[Fudist]

Heggie's even though it is frozen is still 1000 times better than Little Caesar's. This is the best thing ever after a night of many beers.

[daniellempls]

They sell them in S Minneapolis at Oxendale's market on 34th Ave and 51st St. They have both larger and smaller pizzas and a good variety of each. Also if you happen to be in NW Wisconsin, the gas station in Webb Lake also sells them. They tasted the best at the cabin. mmm mmm...

[snoboardbabe77]

Heggie's is sold at Motomart off Hiawatha. It is also sold at most Von Hansen locations and it can also be purchased at Half Time Rec in St Paul on Front Avenue.

[savvyguy]

I think Heggies are one of the best frozen pies and wouldn't think twice about purchasing it over Home Run Inn, or whatever they are called. Yes, they're somewhat salty but great, none-the-less. Awhile back, I was communicating with the Lunds/Byerly's people who didn't seem to want to add them as a distributor. After emailing the company, they sent back this list of stores near downtown Mpls:
Bergans SuperValu (Cedar Ave S), Oxendale Market, Everett's Foods, Winner Gas, Noble Pkwy, Now and Later and Kowalski's. I did not find any at the Kowalski's in Uptown however!

Another really good frozen pizza is in Lilydale at Buon Guorno Grocery Store. Super good and I believe less expensive than Heggies.

[ksioux]

They have Heggies at the Kowalski's on 56th and Chicago.

[gsimbeck]

You can find them at Kowalski's on Grand Ave in St.Paul.

[Aliecat]

You can get it at Yougstetdt's Gas Station on Excelsior Blvd and Alabama, too.

[beej]

I know you can also buy them at Holiday station stores. About $6.99

[LarryBrunko]

Try Holiday gas stations.

[SarahInMinneapolis]

It's good frozen pizza but I can't get past the unnaturally faux red sauce.

[John E.]

The I look at it, if you're going to cook the pizza in your own oven, I prefer either Papa Murphy's or Aldi's fresh, not frozen, bake at home pizzas.
