POTLUCK — Restaurant in Roseville

My family and I visited your OG ZAZA pizza restaurant on Sunday September 29th 2024. At the Roseville (potluck) location. It was our first time there. Upon trying to order at 540pm-ish we were told, "we are closed!" By the male solo employee. However, my husband begged him to let us order a pizza since we were out of town. (Google says hours are till 6pm. They should change it to 540pm if that's when all these restraunts take their last orders at.) But that's another issue.) So I'm sitting in the seating area watching things around me. 2 gals from the taco shop next door, clock out and then go over to your pizza restraunt and are just laughing and messing around with your male employee, Behind the counter too! The girl even took the long pole pizza spatula and pulled out a pizza and put it in the box! Laughing and giggling the whole time. I sure didn't think this was sanitary or appropriate behavior. However, I didn't say anything.  So few minutes later, I go to counter to get our pizza and opened it up and it was completely black and charred around the whole outside edge of the crust. So we each took a few bites of a piece (of the middle) and that was it. It was also extremely greasy!!!! You can see my photos below. The whole experience was disappointingto say the least. First, to being told rudely that you were closed then, to see the pizza (male) employee messing around with 2 other different restraunt workers behind the counter and then the very burnt and greasy pizza to top it off. And we paid $25 with tax and tip...!!!!!  Not sure if this is how your crust always is or if it was because of the distraction of the two girls that our pizza was neglected and burnt with carcinogens?  But we will not be returning. Also I emailed the company with this story and hot no response. So decided to do an honest review. Hope to save others from wasting their money on this so...

I love the renovations Rosedale is doing to the mall and we go to Potluck to support the investment. I've lived in Roseville for 20 years now and it's so exciting to see people taking a chance and investing in our area!

All that to say, I got a burger at Burger Dive. It cost almost $20 for a burger and fries. The burger was good but there wasn't anything special about the frozen/reheated fried. I think the food is overpriced. My wife got a lobster sandwich from Smack Shack. We wouldn't get it again, the flavor/quality want very high for the $20 price tag.

One thing I'd like to see differently with Potluck is that it would have local MN foods. They have this huge poster about Potluck and how it's supposed to be comfort foods but then don't match that with the experience. They have MN ice cream and Nordic Waffles so I know they're trying, it just want enough continuity for me.

I really hope they figure this areas out. It's had such a high turn over through the years. I'd really like to see something...

Great place with a lot of variety. We had a few of my favorite places from Minneapolis (Burger Dive and Smack Shack) and a new spot (Betty & Earl's Biscuits). Burger Dive is one of the best burgers in the cities and this location definitely represents that. And Smack Shack brings East Coast Lobster Rolls to the Midwest. Lastly, Betty & Earl's Biscuits was a phenomenal taste of the south with homemade biscuits of all variety. We had the Sausage Gravy Biscuit and it was buttery with a little crisp on the edge and filled with sausage gravy.

Service was very fast at each place and the process for picking up your food by getting a text when ready was super easy. Will definitely...
