Dave's Pizza

The Legend of Dave's Pizza began in 1958 when a staunch Italian gentleman named Dave Masucci gave Bemidji it's very first taste of authentic Italian pizza pie. Dave's pride in his own unique, heirloom family recipes set the stage for the long-standing tradition of making the pizzeria's cuisine fresh on the premises each day. After establishing the pizza shop in Bemidji, Dave moved on to open several more "Dave's Pizza's" in Northern Minnesota, sharing with other towns his delicious Italian heritage. It was at this time (1961) the original Bemidji shop was then transferred into the caring hands of the first generation of the Andersens, Rudolph Andersen.
