The Leaning Tower in uptown is the original pizza spot that made the name popular and resulted in expansion to other parts of the city. Located right on Lyndale Ave. at the start of Minneapolis’ Uptown area, “the Wedge�?, the Leaning tower is home to some of the best pizzas and daytime happy hours in the city, depending on what you drink. 2-for-1 Everything means EVERYTHING, not just rails, but 20 year old scotch as well. People who want deals on high class choose happy hour here, although a pizza special would be nice too; regardless, its one of our choices for after work. The interior is lined with classic vinyl booths and retro tables. The best is the outdoor patio right on Lyndale, but roped off to accommodate a little privacy. The crowd is varied in age, but dress is casual; the normal patron feels comfortable no matter what they are wearing. Generally, the Leaning Tower crowd is from the area and come to the place where they feel most at home. Its inviting and the music is chosen by you from the extensive-listed-jukebox. Parking is easily found along Lyndale or 22nd St.
