so we've never ate in at this place, but it's right by our house and a decent pizza. it's a thinner, new york type style (though obviously not a new york pizza). we went in to order the first time and noticed the mushrooms come from a can, which is their most interesting topping, so we only order the cheese. it's not a bad cheese pizza, and i'd probably agree with the other reviewer that it is probably the best pizza on the north side. the only complaint is that it is greasy! be prepared to dab!
the bread sticks are nothing special, we stick to the pizza here. the staff is always really nice and the pizza usually comes out quicker than they assume it will. when they say 20-25, it will probably be done in 15, so if you like super hot pizza and are ordering pick up be there a few minutes early.
We were the out of town hockey team yesterday and the locals strongly recommended this place, and as it was less than a mile from the rink, most of our team went. Â We were not looking for anything fancy, someplace you can get a good burger or pizza. Â It had all the trappings of a great sports bar, walls covered with flat screens, any game being played could be watched. Â
Admittedly, we were a large group, 10 teens, and probably 8 more adults. Â The menu looked promising. Â Perhaps half the waitstaff had called in sick. Â Our section, which contained many more diners than our group was staffed by one (very soon frazzled) waitress. Â There was no way she could do her job properly for that many customers; this is managements fault, not the waitress'. Â After a very long wait, part of the food arrived. Â Certainly not worth the wait. The Lasagna was more like a soup in a bowl -- noodles and sauce covered with a melted white cheese like substance. Though the cheese was melted, it wasn't browned as if it had been put in a oven. Â It seemed microwaved. Â The ravioli was simply indistinguishable from the lasagna - the plates seemed and tasted exactly the same. Â The white cheese was? Well, we're not sure. It had no flavor. Â One of our party ordered a salad with chicken strips. It was inedible. The lettuce was mushy, as if it had been negligently frozen, then thawed. Â I had the Hawaiin Chicken sandwich. Â Supposed to be a grilled chicken breast on a bun with pineapple and cheese. Â Oh, it had cheese - more of that white glop that had no taste. Â In fact the whole sandwich had no flavor. Â I actually dug around in the cheese for a piece of the pineapple, eventually found one, and tasted it alone. Â While it did sort of have the texture of pineapple, it had no flavor whatsoever. The entire sandwich tasted of nothing. Â The potato chips that came with the sandwich were fine, but not much to make a dinner out of.
The pizza was fine, nothing special, but fine.
Our drinks were never re-filled, and when our family left, some of our group had not received their dinners yet. Â Fortunately, there was a bar sink near our table and we helped ourselves to pitchers of icewater.
I've been going to this sports bar for years. Love the pizza, but recently have been snacking on the breadsticks with cheese and bacon. Awesome value and really filling. Plus the leftovers are killer too. And the bartenders are cool, the crowd is diverse and they are right down the street.
Review Source:Yes they have the best pizza in grand rapids! But the cook thing is their staff is made of steel, I went her for a drink with a friend and the girl next to us was wasted, she went to stand up and dropped her drink glass smack dab on the floor, breaking it with a loud crash. The bartender didn't flinch, he just motioned to the bus boy to clean it up.
I pointed out that it startled the heck out of me, and he shrugged and simple said "it's not the first time tonight, and probley won't be the last, I'm used to it."
I was like whoa, apparently vitales can get a bit rough. Lol
Nice staff. Somewhat smoky, but that comes from a reviewer from Illinois where smoking is banned completely and therefore not used to it. Food was good, had a wrap and sausage sub. Prices reasonable. Plenty of big screens. Standard sports bar atmosphere with above standard sports bar menu.
