    Chicken Tenders - Underrated
    A G.

    Phenomenal Pizza last night - thin crust, Olive Oil base, with bacon and capicola. We also asked for it to be crispy.

    Updated menu, page 1

    We're normally big fans of this place. But our recent visit has made us dock a star (we'd dock two, but we're feeling generous). Prices have skyrocketed. Portions have been demolished. Our "pick three" appetizer was literally twice the price that a single appetizer used to be, and we got *less food*. Read that last sentence again. Whatever COVID did, it doesn't justify doubling the price and reducing the portions. I also ordered jalepeno bottlecaps, but they gave me poppers instead. Because they don't have bottlecaps anymore. So maybe the guy taking my order should have said as much? The menu linked on a Google search is the old menu, so as far as I knew, options and prices were still the old options and prices. The fried food seems to have changed in general. Normally, even leftover appetizers are good. Tonight, it was tough and not good within a couple of hours of getting our food. I think the cheesy broccoli bites are also different from what they used to be? So basically, prices up, portions WAY down, quality down. I, sadly, cannot confidently recommend this place anymore. It's not like it's terrible, but I was just at Pera Pizzeria nearby, and they're now the best pizza place in East Grand Rapids, and for less money. I'm sad. And angry that the food costs way more than it used to. Seriously, just take a quick peek at the photo I uploaded of the "pick three" appetizer option. That's 16 bucks, and we got less and worse food than we used to get ordering a single 8 dollar item. This place has fallen from grace.

    Dog friendly patio with water!

    We made an unplanned stop at Big Bob's with our pup after being turned away from another patio because of our doggo. Our server Sophia was incredibly sweet and so were the other staff members we interacted with! Well definitely be back once we are on this side of town. The turkey sandwiches were also phenomenal! Thanks!

    A hidden gem in Grand Rapids! Big bob's is a wonderful quaint locally owned restaurant in East Grand Rapids. The owners are wonderful people that just want to make good food. Pizza is excellent, but my absolute favorite dish is the baked chicken parmesan. Even with covid the dish was perfectly prepared, restaurant was clean, and service was excellent.

    Fried green beans. We got a side of regular ranch, instead of wasabi ranch.

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.
