Pera is my favorite pizza spot in town!! It is authentic, thin crust, wood oven fired pizza. Their caesar salad and nutella pizza also deserve honorable mentions. I typically order ahead because if you order there, you will be waiting for about 10-20 mins but it's so worth it. And this is more of a little takeout spot with minimal seating (like 4 spots) to wait and sit inside. It is in the heart of EGR though so you can walk around for a bit while you wait for your pizza to be done. read more

Pera Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I ordered delivery and the bottom was burnt. The pizza had a slightly weird aftertaste. The cheese was good but it felt a bit like a takeaway pizza from the grocery store. It might be better in person or not on a busy night. The sides - puffy bites and salads - were very tasty. But I won't be back for the pizza. read more

Ordered online-Kurdish and pepperoni pineapple pizza for a specific pickup time. By the time we bought it home, pizza was straight up cold, which was disappointing. The cheese was rubbery, crust doughy/cakey, and pineapple was definitely from a can. I found the menu an awkward non-cohesive blend of pizza/Mediterranean?/and deep fryer foods... It's a cute spot in Gaslight village. Staff super friendly. read more

Ordered online. It was super easy and I loved that they had pictures of all the pizzas and other items. Pizza was the first we ha e had in grand rapids and was delicious. The crust was excellent. We will definitely be back. The Kurdish pizza was excellent. We also got the pera puffs which were good and there were so many, I however wouldn't recommend these for just 2 people because they are a ton of food for 2 people especially with how greasy they are. They were very good though. The pizzas were the perfect size for 2 people with half of it leftover for the next day. Can't wait to go back and try their other pizzas as well, they have a very unique offerings. read more

I love a good wood/coal fired pizza. Visited this place for a weekday lunch. Was surprised there is no indoor seating only outdoor. The day was rainy, but there were 2 open barstools by the window. I ordered the pepperoni pizza from the small order counter. You see the prep table and awesome pizza oven right in front of you. Since I was thrown off by the seating, I didnt even think to ask about slices, but they do serve cheese and pepperoni slices. The crust is delicious with a bit of chew on the inside and nice slight crunch on the outside from the oven. The pepperoni was thick. They have several other pizzas that include toppings like mushrooms, chicken, red onion, sausage (lamb I believe), plus on the menu are salads and Mediterranean entrees and a few kid menu items. Definitely will go back to order pizza to go. read more

Pera Pizzeria - Pizza Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Wow! My husband and I are HUGE pizza fans. If it's wood fire, we are there. Pera was super easy to place an order with- called, immediately answered phone, placed order, they confirmed items, 10-20 minute time given. The pizza is wood fired, thinner crust (see angled pic of Istanbul pizza). There is a smaller amount of sauce (which I prefer), cheese is perfectly salty but not greasy. Pepperonis were thick cut and formed cups- my favorite! The Istanbul pizza is perfect for vegetarians- the veggies were very fresh and flavorful. The hummus came with 2 slices of pita, which in my opinion is not enough for the size of the container. Nonetheless, as an Armenian, this is one of the better restaurant hummuses that I have had. Our bill was $49 with tip. The employees were very friendly and prompt to help me when I walked in. read more

We were looking for a quick pizza in GR and this place was near the top of the list, so I had to try it myself. Small storefront, one of the older chefs was sitting out front and greeted us as we came in. These guys were super friendly and seemed straight out of Europe by the tone of the accent and the great service attitude. We ordered two pizzas, and while this place is primarily take out and they bring the pizzas out to you already boxed, there are a few tables on the sidewalk out front, and I think maybe two barstools inside the front door. We sat outside on the sidewalk on this warm early summer day and it was a fantastic dining experience all around. We had a greek pizza and an Aegean. Both were delicious. Thin crusty, nicely charred, almost all crispy except in the center where the toppings lay thick. Tangy, deep flavored sauce and generous prosciutto, feta, mushrooms and all the other toppings. I will keep this place on my list to go back for their other Mediterranean dishes. Definitely worth a repeat! read more

Ordered pizza, pasta and a wrap and all were fantastic! Loved this take out place! Super friendly staff as well and FAST service!

Great food each time we have come here and super nice staff! They kindly accommodated our dairy allergy (on pizza of all things!). We really enjoyed the Istanbul pizza, kofte wrap, and salmon entree. The red sauce, salmon and spinach are such a delicious combo I would never have thought of. Amazing rice pudding I'll be thinking about for days! read more

Seems like a family business. Service is friendly, pizzas are made quickly. Prices and food are...pretty good. There was seating for I think two people at a window table, and that's it. So don't plan on bringing friends here to have a meal. As soon as I bit into the pepperoni pizza, I could taste the fresh tomato in the sauce. The old world pepperoni is a nice touch you don't find at many places. Overall, if you're looking for this style of pizza, you'll probably enjoy a pie from this place. It won't blow your socks off, but it's good food. read more

Great pizza! I would recommend getting a full pizza over the slice; however, the slice is roughly a quarter of the pizza. The service was great and they were very welcoming! Definitely recommend for anyone in the area! read more

First time trying Pera and had pizza delivered last night. One was cooked well, but I needed to put a lot of seasoning on it. Ingredients seemed fresh but overall was lacking in taste. Decent crust. Other pizza is the same story, but 75% of the pizza was burnt on the bottom. Overall, this left the majority of the pizza bitter and inedible. I love a good, crispy, wood fired pizza, but this was bad. read more

First time at Pera... wasn't sure what to expect! Food looked pretty good so we gave the pepperoni pizza and salad a try. Both pretty great - always love when the little Pepperoni cups curl up. Only thing that's tough is keeping the bottom crispy once it gets into the to-go box. All in all I thought it was pretty good. read more

Great people. Great pizza with some unique options. They use the Slice app which is convenient for ordering.

A friend and I remember we stopped by this place a while ago (but didn't eat) and decided today was the day to eat here. The food was amazing and we were greeted by the sweetest people ever! The food was amazing and our wait was only 15 mins for an incredible beef wrap! The fries are absolutely amazing too! The restaurant is in a very cool shotgun style property so no inside seating but so many outdoor seating options and had beautiful navy blue colors and cool wines to choose from! read more

Handmade 12" Kurdish pizza featuring beef Armenian sausage and mushrooms. Really a treat. I could not believe how quickly they made this pizza and then cooked it in two minutes in their brick oven. They have a nice assortment of organic pizzas and other treats. There really is no indoor dining as this is the old Rose's Express location. I enjoyed this pizza tremendously. read more

Small place but packed with charm. I had a delicious greek salad with lamb patties. Fresh and flavorful. Looks like pizza is their main thing and smelled delicious. I'll try that next time! read more

Food is great! We've gotten both their pizza and gyros and would recommend either! Not really anywhere to sit inside but it's a good take out and go to the park situation. Or they have outdoor seating. read more

Went to order Pizza, but ended up getting Chicken Sish dinner... it was fantastic. Nice family run operation. Will be back!!

Tried Pera for the first time Saturday night and we were very pleased. Tried the Pera salad, which will remind you of a Greek salad with ample veggie toppings and a tasty, what seemed like home-made lemon vinaigrette. Then had the Kurdish pizza which featured Armenian sausage, which will remind you of an authentic merguez but slightly firmer. Delish. One note: the crust got a bit soggy from the sauce as the pizza cooled, so best to eat it promptly if you like it crisp. Pera is a good addition to the neighborhood after Rose's Express closed and we will be returning! read more

I love this place! The people are so friendly and the pizza is easily top three in the Greater Grand Rapids area.

Very yummy pizza. Cheesy with plenty of toppings. Friendly service. We will be back. Grand Rapids needed a better pizza place.

Amazing fresh pizza . Family owned and operated. Wonderful people and great food! We enjoyed the hummus, Istanbul pizza, Nutella Pizza and Peta pizza!! read more

A great addition to EGR. The pizza is very good and the Lebanese/Middle Eastern food is great.

We ordered a pizza and a chicken salad. I'll start with the salad as it was the better of the two. Growing up In the metro Detroit area (tons of cuisine to choose from), I'll give the nod to the chicken found in the salad. It was flavorful and prepared well. The pizza I would just say was so-so. It was not bad but not great either. For many, pizza is the reason they might visit. Maybe we just caught it in an off night. read more

My new favorite pizza in Grand Rapids. Made with fresh ingredients and always very quick. Highly recommend to any pizza lovers!

This place is so delicious!!! I also love how incredibly thoughtful the owners/workers are. They always make sure our food is warm and great. I love how it's so cozy in there as well. I always appreciate when the owners appreciate the customers and they always say thank you for supporting them. My favorite is the Istanbul pizza and rice pudding - I don't like rice pudding from anywhere else!! The Burek sticks are amazing and so is the chicken shish. read more

Lovely little place for take out right in Gaslight Village, I finally got around to ordering some takeout; chicken kebab dinner, greek salad, a side of hummus. The flavors are right on the edge of addicting - now my favorite choice for dinner in EGR! read more
