    About Carbone's Pizzeria

    "Carbones

    Much has changed and nothing has changed. A small Italian grocery on St. Paul’s east side that served as a bar and as a confection shop during prohibition has grown to an extended family of Carbone’s Pizzerias. The legacy of two hopeful, young Italians is still present in every visit, in every exchange and in every bite.
