A Pizza Tour of Downtown Fargo-Moorhead

Out of all the dishes in the world, pizza is definitely one of them that stands above the rest. There’s something about the glorious combination of toppings and carbs that can bring people together, satisfy all of your taste buds and even solve all of your problems (temporarily, at least, because pizza is your best friend). Downtown Fargo and Moorhead are graced with establishments that serve up delicious ‘zas. And while you’re on this pizza tour, you’ll probably uncover a lot more tasty treats than just a good slice.
