Village Square Café
Corner of Minnesota Ave. & 5th Street
Walker, MN
Established in 1979, the Village Square was a neat building complex comprised of several different sections where your could have a family dinner, pizza, coffee, or ice cream. Hungry for some carbs, I gravitated towards the pizza area.
The restaurant was cute with lots of brick and wood, giving it a definite pizzaria feel. The menu had lots of choices for combinations, as well as options to select you own toppings, in a multitude of sizes. Unable to resist a pizza with a lot going on, I chose the 9-inch "Kitchen Sink Combo."

As the name implied, the pizza contained everything but the kitchen sink! Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, and pepperoni, along with a multitude of vegetables including green peppers, mushrooms, onions, with both green and black olives.
The pizza had a thin, crispy crust, a light layer of zesty tomato sauce, and the toppings were very flavorful. I enjoy pizzas that give me some variety and contrast, and this defintely had it. Distinctive meats, briny olives, fresh peppers, onions, and mushrooms; yum! The cheese at the edge was nicely browned, too. The meal was fantastic, and I absolutely inhaled it.
If you are in the Leech Lake area looking for a good pizza, the Village Square Café is a great place to start.
