About Chanticlear Pizza
Chanticlear Pizza has proudly served the Twin Cities since 1964, beginning with a single pizzeria in Fridley, Minnesota. Founded by Richard “Dick” Kempe, the brand has become synonymous with quality, emphasizing that “The Pizza Is King.” Currently operating 13 locations, Chanticlear Pizza has built a loyal following by using the freshest ingredients and maintaining a commitment to exceptional service.
The brand stands out for its dedication to quality in every aspect of pizza-making. They mix dough fresh daily, use vine-ripened tomatoes for their signature sauce, and apply their proprietary Italian sausage uncooked for maximum flavor. Vegetables are chopped fresh each day, and only 100% real Wisconsin mozzarella cheese, shredded daily, is used in their pizzas.
Despite being slightly pricier than competitors, Chanticlear Pizza's commitment to quality ensures that customers enjoy a superior pizza experience. With plans for further expansion, Chanticlear continues to deliver the delicious flavors their community craves, making them a cherished local favorite.
