A Passion for Great Food, Born in Minnesota
Davanni's was founded on a simple belief: that great food, made fresh with quality ingredients, has the power to bring people together.
What started as a single pizzeria in the heart of Roseville, MN, grew into a beloved local institution. Our founders wanted to create a place where families could gather, friends could celebrate, and neighbors could simply enjoy a great meal without breaking the bank.
Over the years, we perfected our dough recipes, sourced the finest toppings, and expanded our menu to include award-winning hoagies, fresh salads, and crowd-pleasing pasta. Every item on our menu carries the same care and craftsmanship that defined us from day one.
- Hand-tossed pizzas daily
- Fresh-baked hoagie bread
- Family-owned & operated
- Community-focused values
- No artificial preservatives
- Local ingredient sourcing
What Drives Everything We Do
Our values aren't just words on a wall — they're the foundation of every pizza we bake and every guest we serve.
Quality First
We never cut corners on ingredients. From our hand-stretched dough to our premium toppings, quality is non-negotiable at Davanni's.
Community Love
We believe restaurants are the heartbeat of communities. We give back through local partnerships, school fundraisers, and neighborhood events.
Guest Happiness
Every smile at our counter matters. We go above and beyond to ensure every visit — dine-in, carry-out, or delivery — exceeds expectations.
Sustainability
We're committed to responsible sourcing and reducing waste. We partner with local farmers and use eco-friendly packaging wherever possible.
"Our mission is to serve exceptional food that nourishes both body and community — one slice at a time."
