Popular Minnesota Pizzeria Profiled By Guy Fieri Now Opening New Location

Guy Fieri is well-known for his  "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" show on Food Network, where he travels across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and even some European cities like London and Florence, searching for unique diners, drive-in restaurants, and dive bars.

He gets to taste a variety of dishes while highlighting the chef's creative approach and the restaurant's unique atmosphere. Episodes often feature local favorites, comfort food classics, and innovative creations.

Fieri is no stranger to Minnesota as he's visited dozens of times to feature and promote some of the amazing places found throughout the state.

While being on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" does not guarantee business success, a popular pizzeria in Minnesota that was featured on the show continues to thrive, and now they're opening a new location at a very high-profile location.

New OG Zaza Location Announced

OG Zaza, owned and operated by Chef Joshua Hedquist, a three-time winner of "Guy's Grocery Games", also known as "Triple G", which is a cooking competition show on the Food Network hosted by Guy Fieri.

It specializes in making personal-sized New Haven-style pizzas from all-natural, locally-sourced ingredients, that are 'charred, crispy, and chewy.' The pizzas are cooked to perfection in just 5 minutes.
