Our Story
Marnanteli's Pizza has been a beloved staple of the Cold Spring community since 1985, when Brian Guggenberger first opened its doors. Today, under the ownership of Peter and Erika Hansen, Marnanteli's continues to be the go-to destination for the best pizza and chicken in the area — and so much more.
Peter Hansen's connection to Marnanteli's runs deep. He was one of Brian's very first employees and grew up right here in Cold Spring. After managing restaurants in the Twin Cities, owning two Waldo's Pizza locations in the St. Cloud area, and running Bagelman's Deli, Peter returned home to raise his family — and eventually fulfill a dream by purchasing Marnanteli's with his wife Erika. Peter and his son Tim are both hands-on in the business, often arriving by 4 AM to make sure everything is ready for the day ahead.
Peter believes in treating his employees like family and taking care of them — and it shows. His team works with pride and genuine care for every customer who walks through the door.
