What happened after Man v. Food?

Man v. Food Nation (S4E18, aired October 5, 2011) featured Punch Neapolitan Pizza's Grand Avenue location in St. Paul, sampling the restaurant's wood-fired, Naples-style pizzas cooked in a matter of minutes at extremely high heat. Punch is a Minnesota pizzeria chain built around Verace Pizza Napoletana-style pies, thin-crusted and topped simply with ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. The Grand Avenue location sits in the Cathedral Hill/Grand Avenue commercial strip of St. Paul. According to the restaurant's own website, punchpizza.com, checked in September 2026, the site offers online ordering for dine-in or takeout, including a mobile app for checkout, and lists the Grand Avenue address among its active locations. That functioning ordering system indicates Punch Neapolitan Pizza's Grand Avenue restaurant remains open.
