Pizza Cheeks on South Minnesota Avenue has a name that makes you pause and a pizza that makes you stay. This is a neighborhood pizzeria that earns its place in the regular rotation — not by being flashy, but by being consistently right.
Made-to-order pizza is the core of it, built for takeout and delivery without cutting corners on what ends up in the box. You're looking at classic pizzeria fare done with some actual care — handcrafted pies, real toppings, the kind of thing that holds up on the drive home. Sandwiches round out the menu for the days when pizza isn't the answer (rare, but they've got you covered). The setup is casual, the pace is quick, and the south side of Sioux Falls has clearly noticed.
What keeps people coming back is that Pizza Cheeks doesn't overcomplicate it — no gimmick crusts you didn't ask for, no menu that requires a flow chart to navigate. It's a pizza restaurant that understands its job is to get a good pizza into your hands without a lot of theater around it. For a neighborhood spot on a busy stretch of Minnesota Avenue, that's not nothing.
