1. Rhombus Guys

A local favorite, Rhombus Guys, has been a Grand Forks staple for well over a decade. Nestled in the heart of downtown, Rhombus features appetizers, salads, sandwiches and of course a plethora of delicious and original pizzas. Ope! Let me sneak right by ya and grab the ranch for a Midwesterner pizza,  a delicious combination of gooey mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, beef, bacon, green peppers and onions. O try the Big Dogz pizza,  with spicy jalapenos, olives, pepperoni and sausage named after local radio DJs. In addition to their amazing menu, Rhombus has karaoke and open mic nights, and if you need a little liquid courage to get up on the stage and belt your heart out, don’t worry, they have that covered, too. Rhombus features a variety of tap beers including local brews, specialty cocktails, and wine with daily happy hour specials. Recently, Rhombus Guys expanded to the frozen pizza aisle of Hugo’s Supermarkets and select other stores in the region, allowing you to take and bake your favorite in the comfort of your own home.
