Try the sausage apple pizza, made with Béchamel cream sauce, house-made sausage, Granny Smith apples, fresh sage, parmesan cheese, and micro greens.
Fireflour Pizzeria, Bismarck, ND
Using a 2.5-ton wood-fire oven that was hand built in Italy, Fireflour has quickly made a name for itself in the Bismarck area.

The restaurant prides itself on its authentic flavors and its ability to bring the east coast to North Dakota. You will not find a ton of toppings on a Nardello’s pizza, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t loaded with flavor.
