House special with both shrimp and pepperoni--extra cheese. My go-to pizza here, and it's always delicious.

We absolutely love the pizza at this place. But it's pretty frustrating when you order a pizza, have to wait over an hour for it to arrive & it shows up mutilated. Then when the replacement pizza is finally delivered the driver accuses you of intentionally destroying the first pizza stating, "it was fine when she dropped it off."

Carbonne’s of Forest Lake has been in the town for ages and it’s always as expected. I’ve been eating pizza at this place since the late 1970s and I’ve visited hundreds of times. The interior and pizza recipe has not changed over the ages. They serve reliable Thin crust pizza with plenty of cheese and ample toppings. Their service has never failed to be friendly to me. The truest sense of their ability? Pizza Hut is less than a quarter mile away and has been there since the 1980s. Yet Carbonne’s remains. That’s some staying power - for good reason.

Good service, great pizza! This was our first visit. We came on a Saturday night at about 8:15. Seated promptly and food came quickly. We ordered the pizza fries appetizer (basically garlic butter and cheese on a crust) and a large special. The appetizer was fantastic!! The crust was buttery and garlicky and crispy. Soooooo good! The pizza was great as well. Plenty of toppings and loaded to the edge. Server was great, checked on us often, and she kept our drinks full. Will definitely be back!
