Karley M.

Definitely lived up to everyone's high reviews! Loved the ambience and baseball theme. There was more seating than I'd thought, both indoor and outdoor! The beer was amazing, I loved the hazy IPA. Soft pretzel and chicken cesar salad were amazing. Next time we'll definitely try the pizza flight, it looked so good! Will definitely be back for the good service, chill atmosphere and amazing food/drink.

Vegan Curse of the Goat Pizza
Nick S.

A great brewery to get a refreshing beer and a phenomenal pizza! Friendly and casual atmosphere and all the staff are happy to help. All the pizzas taste great (including their vegan variations) and they have some unique and fun pizza combinations - give them a try next time you're in GR!

Bad pizzas
David H.

This was the worst pizza in 50 years!! I'm sorry but not sorry. You ruined my night in Grand Rapids. This was not good on any metrics. Tough, dry, cold, salty, expensive, small portioned, failed failed failed failed. If you are manager, look at your product. This is bad

Pesto Chicken Pizza and  Hog Heaven Pizza
Jaila H.

We had 2 pizza flights so we tried almost all of them! The special of the day was a strawberry fields pizza with fresh strawberries & balsamic! The goat cheese pizza was also a hit! The one with the pork and Cajun aioli was so surprising! If you eat pork don't avoid it. They get their pork from across the road at too short and the aioli is soooo good. The outside seating is a fun environment it's cute and shaded. They have a long list of what's on tap! The service was super quick everything came out expeditiously and was hot and fresh. The pickle bread as an appetizer was something new- didn't love the siracha but the ranch was amazing and made up for it

Amazing beer and pizza selection. I was amazed by the deliciousness of both. They were very accommodating for my group of 50 and I'd recommend them over & over again. The assigned bartender was efficient and the space for our group fit like a glove or rather mitten.

The Pizza Flight

Had the Pizza Flight choosing the 6 different types of pizza was fun! The menu says it feed 4 & that is accurate . Was here with 2 of my big eaters and we took some home!Also tried the Sangria for the first time - delicious! Love The Mitten

Mix n match Pizza Flight

Very cool brewery right off the highway in Grand Rapids. It has indoor and outdoor seating, when the weather is nice, the outdoor patio is ideal, really cool area. They allow you to do pizza flights, which is really cool, I've never heard of any other place doing that. It allows you to try so many different flavors. I forget all the ones we ordered, but they were all good, had a variety of different meats and toppings. In terms of beer, I got the fogout and the hop hustle, both really good. I ended up getting a 4pack of the fogout to go, and my friends enjoyed it as well. Inside there's a lot of cool sports memorabilia on the wall, including a 1907 World Series program, featuring the Cubs and Tigers. So cool to see! Highly recommend if you live in the area, or just are passing through and need a good place to stop at.

Great as always! Took my mom here for an early Mother's Day dinner, because where else can you get a pizza flight? There were 3 of us eating and we took a lot home (we did also order their pickle breadsticks!) The Mac Daddy pizza was my favorite, but they were all great. There was no wait for a table, but the patio is opened up now, so there's lots more space! (I believe the patio is bar service only- or it was that day at least. I'd say just check first!)

Flight
Thembi S.

4.5 Stopped by The Mitten Brewing on my way out of Grand Rapids, it's definitely a brewery I would recommend. I'd already been to another brewery before this one so I don't remember much of The Mitten's interior, though it seemed rustic. Staff there was super cool, took good care of me. I got a flight. THE FLIGHT BOARD WAS SHAPED LIKE A MITTEN! How adorable! I drank the flight. I paid and left. Would return.

The Mitten is one of my fav spots for pizza in GR and I always forget to take pics when I'm here because I am too hungry when I go to think about it! I don't think I've ever gotten food here that I don't like but recently, I have started ordering salads and I am honestly surprised at how simple but GOOD they are! Like, their ingredients are so good and fresh that I absolutely love it! Not overly dressed and overdone, but well presented! I know that sounds silly but I feel like that should be something that people should really appreciate about a salad. Also, for the cost, you would think that it would be small... no, it's huge and you can easily share! I really need to come back with more people so I can get the pizza flight and try more of their flavors as I usually only come with my boyfriend and we get one pizza to share as we are trying not to have a billion pieces of pizza for leftover as we're trying to be "healthier" or something (hence ordering salads more often), but I always love the vibes here and the people are wonderful! There's probably going to be a wait but if they actually turn on Yelp waitlist, it's clutch and you can join it from the comfort of your own home!

Quarantino's is one of those places that is totally worth the hype. They originally opened as a pop…read moreup in 2020 (hence the name), but they are so popular that they've stayed open and even expanded to include a bar and dining area. We've gotten plenty of takeout from Quarantino's over the years, but only recently stopped by to dine in. We were greeted right away and got to choose a nice booth by the window. The menu is concise and features their delicious Detroit style pizza. I was starving so we ended up ordering quite a bit to have leftovers - the kale Caesar salad, one of the weekly feature pizzas, and the Quarantino's deluxe. The salad is one of my favorites - it's made with curly kale and topped with crunchy kettle potato chips. It's always good and makes for great leftovers because it's so hearty. Our pizzas came out shortly after our salad was finished and they were delicious. Their crust is perfection - fluffy but chewy and crispy in the right places. I personally love their red sauce the most because it's savory, and not overly sweet. The toppings on the deluxe were plentiful and high quality. The special pizza rotates weekly(ish) and this one had 'nduja, ramp aioli, and shredded potato. Plus lots of cheese. Their specials are always inventive and sound so tasty. Our server was super fun and awesome to chat with. I really liked him, he brought such a big smile to my face. I am so glad we finally got to have the dine in experience at Quarantino's and we'll be back for their mid-week pizza, pasta, salad deal!

The place was packed full of people (a sign of a great restaurant) and while I sat and waited over fifteen minutes past my pickup time, I watched people come in, be told it will be a few minutes and then their receipt/order gets pulled and then taken to the back, like mine was. Almost as if they don't bother making the pizza until you show up? Anyway, we picked up our pizza and bread and headed out. I was surprised at the small box that contained both the pizza AND the bread; I got into the car and opened it and laughed. The pizza was small, the bread was small. I was surprised at how little food there was. Oh well! Lesson learned. We took it back to our hotel and fed the kids. The pizza looked delicious, but was just ok. The cheese bread looked amazing - and then I bit into it. Dill. Why is there dill on the cheese bread? Overall, it was an experience. Nothing terrible, nothing great. Note: finding parking for carry out is a challenge.

Franca's Pizzeria recently opened in Eastown next to Tamales Mary. It's a takeout only shop with an…read moreextensive menu including several interesting specialty pizzas. Nate and I have had their food twice now - once was a complimentary pizza order during their soft opening period, and we just ordered delivery over a lazy holiday weekend. We got the supreme pizza and cheesy bread on our most recent order, and have also tried the caprese salad and rustica pizza. The menu includes lots of options beyond pizza - appetizers, subs, wraps, salads, pasta, stromboli, and dessert! They have vegan cheese and cauliflower crust options too. Online ordering is quick and easy through the Franca's Pizzeria website, and I like that they use their own delivery drivers. The charge for delivery was only $4 which isn't bad, especially considering all the upcharges for third-party delivery services these days. I ordered ahead for a later time and it arrived a few minutes early. All the food was hot and fresh. The supreme pizza has ham, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green pepper, and onion. The hand tossed crust is a medium thickness, but they also have thick crust as an option. The toppings were plentiful and fresh, and I loved the sausage. The sauce is not overly sweet, so it gets a thumbs up from me. The cheesy bread is really good! It's not super tough or crunchy, I like that it's pillowy in the middle. You can get extra cheese, but I thought the regular amount was plenty. We also loved the caprese salad - it was super fresh, with a nice amount of fresh mozzarella and dressed nicely. It was nice to have a bit of a healthy side to go with our tasty pizza. Franca's rates slightly above Peppino's for me (my other favorite local pizza spot), mostly due to their unique toppings and specialty pizza combinations. I'm super intrigued by the campagnola: margherita sauce, caramelized mushrooms and onions, sausage, bleu cheese, tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. If you're in the area and need a takeout pizza, check out Franca's.

First time trying Franca's Pizzeria and I definitely don't regret it. We ordered three 9" pizzas so…read morethat we could taste a variety. My personal favorite was the Buffalo. It is soooo good. They are all delicious but that was my favorite. The crust is delicious. We didn't get flavored crust so I can only assume that would be even better. Can't wait to try some of the others!!

The Foolery came up on Yelp and figured we could not go wrong with pizza to feed our starving children. They have a great selection of Detroit style pizzas here. We didn't feel like being adventurous so went with the pepperoni. I've always loved Detroit style pizzas due to the thicker crust that's crispy on the sides and The Foolery passed the assignment. Pizza was really good! And as a Chicagoan, that means a lot! The size of the pizza is a little small - but you get 6 slices so if you're hungry or got a big group to feed, I would plan accordingly. Remember Detroit style is a rectangle pie, not circular like a standard whole pizza. We got the Elote dip as an appetizer and it was a clever take on one of my favorite Mexican snacks. It came with elote corn and chips on the side. Like I said, clever and not bad! Our server that day was awesome. We had a group of about 13 people and they just had small pub tables that fit 4 people each. But no problem because he was willing to organize the whole front room and put 4 of those tables side by side to accommodate all of us. He did it happily and without complaints. Our food did take some time to come out, but that's ok. I was amongst great company and had a good drink in hand, we were out of town and all was good. I would come here again.

The food was great. Probably the best Detroit style food I have had. Lots of options. Enough to…read moreshare between 2-3 people. The salad was huge and fresh. The bathrooms were super clean. Individual gender neutrals restrooms. Our waiter was very attentive. The only down side is they have a DJ on Friday & Saturday from 9-12PM, and it was SO loud. Someone next to us put on headphones. We could not hear each other at all, even almost yelling, so we really couldn't talk. If you're going to eat and vibe, might be the place for you but to go eat, it was a bit extreme. Also they have "$3 beers" after 9 and it was just PBR. All others were regular price. Marketing was a bit misleading there.
