Wonderful service for Sunday lunch! This highlight here is totally the dough -- you can tell it's super fresh and has that great sour flavor. The 14" pizza is the perfect amount to split between two people. I love this location, and the gelato spot next door is the cherry on top. Parking on Morris Ave can be difficult some evenings, but well worth it. I love that you can see into the kitchen. The art on the walls is fabulous, I wish they would put the artists' names by them so I could look it up!
Wow! We ordered the Roasted Gulf Shrimp (TO DIE FOR) and the Gnudi (PHENOMENAL). Our pizza was half white, half mushroom. The staff was beyond helpful (told me to keep my shrimp butter to dip the pizza crust in - super grateful for the tip!) The ambiance is cozy with an exposed kitchen and intimate seating. Highly recommend!
Food first, thoughts after... This was my second time at pizza grace. The first time was before Michelin guide. Went with some friends and no surprise had to wait. They do not take reservations and are pretty popular. From the host to the server everyone was so friendly and down to earth. The apps were delicious. Pizza was overall okay. A little burnt but still good. The seasonal peach and prosciutto was so good! Got to try their hot honey and homemade ranch as well.
I love Pizza Grace! This is my second time here and I had to get the garlic bread again. I'll probably get it every time and could just eat this as my meal. Highlyyyy recommend. We split the pepperoni and the Calabrian, which is on their summer menu and has chicken on it and is so flavorful. Their sourdough crust is really good and just a solid pizza overall. They do not do reservations so it's always good to get there early and put your name down. Luckily they have seating outside where you can drink a glass of wine or a really good gelato shop right next door to wait. Will be coming back!!
We are here on a Sunday at 11 am. The restaurant is not too big but they do have outdoor seating. We had the Caesar salad and it was plenty for two to share. The fried capers and sourdough crisps were a nice touch. We ate the pepperoni pizza and got a pizza that was half the mushroom/olive and Nardello. The crust was sourdough perfection. The toppings were delicious and the pizzas were definitely covered in topping. We loved every bite. The service was speedy and the staff was friendly. A great place to grab a specialty pizza!
The staff were excellent!! A very welcoming and comfortable environment was also a nice feature. There is a full view of the kitchen which is an open concept. The pizza was good if you like a lot of dough. The toppings were good but sparse. It's not what I would consider a conventional pizza. It's also made with a sourdough crust which was good! It would be a good choice for a date or a family.
We came to Pizza Grace on a Friday, for an early dinner. Upon arrival, it wasn't busy(AT ALL) but we blinked and this places was full of pizza wanting patrons! This isn't the biggest restaurant. It's comfortable and you don't feel like you are sitting on top of anyone. The ambiance is relaxed and decorated nicely. My fav part is the exposed bricks. Table seating, a few bar seats and some high table top seats are available. We ordered the pepperoni pizza with mushrooms on 1/2. I also requested a side of hot honey. The pizza was quite tasty and I loved the sourdough crust. The ingredients were fresh & of great quality. Our server was really polite and kept our water glasses full. I also had a Good people IPA. They have a respectable wine list but had limited beer options. If you come here, parking on Morris Ave could be a challenge. Thankfully , it wasn't for us. This was my first time at Pizza Grace. The yummy food and good service were worth the visit!
The wait wasn't bad. Service was good. We ordered appetizers and a pie. The food was good. Pepperoni galore on the pizza. We went basic. The meatballs were top shelf. Cute place with a nice vibe.
First time here and we enjoyed it very much. Waiter was a little aggressive but all in all it was good. Will come back
Stopped by on a Tuesday evening. Restaurant was busy but luckily had 2 seats open at the bar. Service was great - our waitress was friendly and checked up on us throughout our meal. We ordered the Garlic Bread with a side of Marinara sauce as well as the White Pie with Sausage added. Everything tasted great and fresh. Didn't feel too heavy. Overall, I would highly recommend. Parking: Nearby street parking and paid parking lots nearby.
Overall, really enjoyed my experience at Pizza Grace with no major complaints and would totally come back but personally doesn't stand out from other pizzerias. You are definitely paying for the atmosphere as it has a great ambiance with candle lighting on Morris Ave but doesn't take away from very solid pizza.
this restaurant is located on morris avenue and it's perfect for a date night! paid or street parking available! the restaurant is on the smaller side but staff is very attentive and the waitlist went by quick. there is both indoor and outdoor seating. our waitress was great! we started off with garlic bread to share and it was perfect. the pizzas were pricey but worth it! the crust is sourdough and cooked to perfection!
Good ambiance and service. We went with a large group and our server provided great service. Since we had a large group, we got to taste much of the menu. Pizza was good but didn't live up to the expectations going in. I wish they had more non pizza entrees on the menu. Overall a solid dining experience in a great atmosphere with excellent service.
Found in mercantile row, Pizza Grace is a fun, casual spot for dinner. If you like a nice soft bready pizza, this is the place for you. The garlic bread appetizer was delicious and there is a good selection of specialty pizzas. The white pizza was our favorite. Extra points for the tiny pepperoni! Whether you wanna get a pie to go, or tuck into a table, the workers here are so helpful. One of our new favorites for sure! read more

One of my favorite pizza places! The crust was crispy, the toppings were generous, and the sauce was flavorful. The portion size was just right, and the service was quick and friendly. The place had a fun, casual vibe. read more
Where to begin, we came when they opened just after 5 as we didn't want to have to wait for a table. We had our choice of several seating options and chose to sit at the bar overlooking the kitchen. We fetched our own water (a little odd but fine by me) and watched the staff carefully prepping and cooking menu items. Our server was friendly and attentive without being bothersome. The kitchen area and overall space is small so I think that is part of the equation in understanding how they run things. There isn't space for reservations or a full bar for mixed drinks and a great wine selection, something I would enjoy, but I understand it may just not be part of the vision. We chose the winter salad and the sweet and Smokey pie (obviously a seasonal or rotational pie) along with the roasted garlic ranch. Everything in my opinion was 15/10. I wouldn't change a THING. The salad was truly the best I've ever had. I could've eaten 3 of them. Each element was so thoughtfully prepared and at peak freshness. The satsumas sing in your mouth. I'm going to be thinking about that salad for a very long time. The beautiful presentation meant we dressed tossed and crunched up the Parmesan sourdough cracker into the salad. Every bite was just... Chef's kiss. Shortly after we finished the salad our pizza came out. The toppings are all very carefully sourced and selected and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Since the menu is seasonal and may change, I'll share the toppings: Marinara, provolone, Benton's bacon lardon, Spotted Trotter Southern Smash salami (contains peanuts), pineapple, toasted sesame seeds, pickled hot peppers, chives, fig habanero glaze I'm actually just speechless. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Such a clever and well assembled pie. I love bread (does anyone not? Serious question) and their crust is the very very best of its kind that I've had in Birmingham, and it's not close. It obviously differs, but the quality is on par with Christian Petroni's Fortina which I was lucky enough to eat regularly in NY and CT when I lived there. It's the lovely kind of crust that leaves you feeling light even after you have stuffed yourself. The dipping sauces!!! The star of the show maybe? I love that they feature several delicious homemade sauces for those that really want to enjoy that luscious fluffy crust. We chose the roasted garlic ranch and W O W! Tangy (cream cheese part of the base I would bet) with roasted garlic and punchy fresh dill. This stuff is magic. Don't expect hidden valley, this will make you look at ranch differently, even if you already were a ranch snob. A friend of mine who told me to come here, told me she still dreams about the ranch, and I can see why. I felt the price was truly appropriate for the quality of the food you are putting into your body. This was not a particularly expensive dinner for 2 for us and they do not skimp at all on the toppings. Every bite of my meal was a flavor explosion. I'll not hesitate in saying this place truly shines, and we will return again and again. I already have proposed to my husband a standing Friday dinner tradition here. read more
I think where this place really shines is it's ambiance and *sauces*- weirdly enough! Pizza Grace is a hip pizzeria that I adored the vibes of, especially so late in the night. The place can feel a bit cramped when packed but that still somehow made it feel super lively and open? The seating arrangement is done in the perfect way to where, although it could be packed inside the small space, you'd never bump into anyone or feel like it's too loud. The pizza was decent- fresh tasting marinara and cheese on a gorgeously charred crust, but it did feel a bit lackluster in flavor. That's where the sauces come in hehe. There's a variety of dipping sauces you can purchase to get on the the side of your pizza and MAN do these pack a punch! Regardless of what pizza you get I highly suggest you get a few sauces to share to really amp up the taste. The coffee I got wasn't great. Super dull and the whole milk left a weird taste in my mouth. Sugar didn't change the flavor at all but I didn't want to add too much. But also not entirely sure why I got a coffee with my pizza at 9pm! read more

Best pizza in Birmingham and very excited they have rolled out new lunch menus. You can also order ahead for to go with the toast app. read more
I'll be honest with you... I'm not sure I really get the "hype" of this place. We were downtown for a concert and a lot of our normal "go-to" places had an hour plus wait. So we pulled up Yelp and found this place. 1) teeny tiny! Also, a couple of community tables, which I'm not a fan of. Thankfully we got a two top table. 2) I have to serve myself water? At the front door? Where everyone is standing around waiting? 3) the food: expensive. Def seemed overpriced for what you were getting. Honestly, the pizza was super bland to me. And so was the dipping sauce we got to go along with the pizza. 4) service wasn't even that great. It took a while to get anyone's attention that we wanted the check to leave. Will I come back? Probably not. read more

First things first the pizza toppings and salads are fresh and from the local farmers market. The pizza crust is like no other it's very unique and good. I could come here just for the salads and be satisfied. The salads combinations will have you trying to make them at home. The owner is very personable and so sweet she is always there to help. read more

The service was great! It was our first time so they gave us a heads up that the pizza is known for being charred and we could order it more lightly cooked. Despite ordering our pizzas lightly cooked, they were still pretty charred. Regardless, it was high quality pizza with fresh/homemade ingredients. The one area I'd recommend for improvement is with the drinks. You get a little 6 oz glass of room temperature water. It would be nice if they left a pitcher of water to refill it because it wasn't realistic for our server to come back every so often to refill these tiny glasses. My mom asked for a larger glass with ice water which you'll see in the photo, next to the smaller glass they bring water in. One of us ordered unsweetened tea which was good, but it was only maybe 6 ounces as well (not counting ice) and REFILLS ARE NOT FREE. I think it would go a long way for that policy to change. I get they need to be profitable but charging 3 ish dollars for 6 oz of tea with no refills feels like they're nickel and diming their customers. Not great for business. Overall we enjoyed it but wouldn't go out of our way to come back. read more

Wonderful pizza. Service was good and quick. Stopped in for dinner and was not disappointed with the spur of the moment choice. Char was really good and each ingredient was treated with respect, bonus for being locally sourced. read more

This place was also so busy so decided to try it. The salad was great as an appetizer and the serve came back to make sure we knew that the pizza had no cheese on it. Loved that she did that. Pizza was good! Would come back to try another kind of pizza read more

OK, this is our new favorite pizza spot in Birmingham! I took my sons there for dinner on a Friday night, and it was so amazing they insisted that we come back on Saturday night and bring my daughters with us. Located in the new Mercantile on Morris, the venue is gorgeous, with plenty of street parking. On Friday night, the restaurant was super busy, so we snagged a table in the covered courtyard just outside. They still brought our food to us! We tried the salad, ordered extra garlic bread, the Margherita pizza, and the pepperoni pizza. Everything was absolutely amazing! The pizzas and salads come out super fast, and everyone waiting on us was so nice! The pizzas aren't super huge, but it's still plenty to split between two people. With a salad, garlic bread, and one pizza, I was able to feed myself and my two teenage sons. So, when we brought two more teenagers with us, we only ordered a little extra garlic bread and one more pizza. Tons of food! Order a couple of extra sides of the garlic ranch dressing, it's a must for dipping your extra crust in! read more
I struggle with only giving it two stars but it is what it is at this point. I've tried it twice now and have sampled nearly everything on the menu. The pizza is fine but it's not revolutionary. The pepperoni is honestly the best one if the bunch. The other pizzas are either too adventurous or simply bad. The muffuletta I tried came on what I'd liken to concrete rather than bread. Sure there were some okay flavors but sheesh, get some softer bread. Where things really go sideways, the tables. What's with these giant tables that cause you to sit with strangers or a mile away from the rest of your party? It's terribly ill-conceived and really detracts from the already just "okay" dining experience. Lastly, the owner has waited on me for both of my dining experiences. She comes off kind of rude and when asking just the simplest of questions. I didn't come to be snapped at. I came to exchange money for food and beverage served with some sort of humility and gratitude that I chose your place. I honestly don't think this place will last long as is. Sadly it already needs an overhaul. read more

Went to this place today for lunch. Nice location on Morris Avenue. There was outside seating that was set up nicely. The inside had dim lighting but was very clean inside. The lunch menu was simple. The only issue I had was I could not add/modify to the lunch menu. I ordered pepperoni pizza. Oven tossed, fresh baked. The pizza dough was nicely thin with the right amount of chewiness. There was the right amount of outer crust to center ratio. The marinara was nice and thick but not dry, the flavor was right on the spot for savoriness and sweetness, the smell had notes of garlic and oregano which were very pleasant. Right amount of melted mozzarella cheese, with a very decent cheese pull. peperoni was mild, and nicely crispy. Among locally owned hand tossed pizza in town, I will say that this one is in my top three. I have definitely been Graced with Pizza Grace! read more
Cool place on the cobblestone street downtown. We ordered the fried grits appetizer. Really interesting and I've never had purple grits but it was good dipped in the marinara. Pizza was very good. High prices but a neat vibe and quality ingredients. read more

Pizza Grace never fails in providing delicious pizza! I especially love their margherita pizza, which is big enough to share with another. The waiters are always helpful and accommodating as well. Make sure you arrive early so that you get a table since the restaurant is a bit small! I do think the garlic bread is a little oily, but everything else I have had has been great. read more

The pizza here is fantastic! Limited flavors, which I suppose it what makes it classier, but I would have loved some more creative flavors. The pizzas are probably just big enough to share with another person, especially if you get a salad or something else. However, at 4:30 on a Saturday they had already sold out of all appetizers and salads. So that was a bit disappointing. Though it was certainly worse for anyone who came after 5pm when they were sold out of everything. I understand that they were just nominated for a James beard award so maybe weren't expecting quite so many people, but it seems like extraordinarily poor planning to run out of everything before the weekend dinner rush. The atmosphere is fine, one of those industrial spaces that looks really cool, but is actually hard to hear anything. It was so loud that we couldn't hear some friends just two seats down. Not any favorite vibe, but I know others love it! Pizza delicious though expensive. read more

Stop 2 on the Bham Now - Birmingham's modern media pizza list tour! Pizza Grace. Also we decided that Saturday lunch was going to work better than Thursday nights after work. You know "cuz we old". Oh my gosh if they only get better from here we won't eat anything else but pizza for days in a row. Pizza Grace no fancy dinners or apps or sandwiches. Just pizza, garlic bread, salads and drinks. Oh and 1 desert. Let me say the pizza is amazing! The post had pepperoni so that was supposed to be the choice but this "White" pizza sounded awesome so we asked if they would do half and half? Which looked a little off menu because it seemed to be a conversation. Between the our host and the Chef, and I do mean Chef. I wanted to video him so bad, the care and concern when he put the pies together before sliding into the oven. Chef Kiss . Back to our pie. Maybe the idea of white sauce on one side and red sauce on the other??? But him pulled it off like a champ. No mixing of flavors at all. The garlic bread was in a class all its own. Maybe soda water in the dough or non bleached flour? I don't know but we loved it. Fresh garlic roasted and rubbed on top with fresh and I mean fresh tomato sauce and maybe sea salt on top. We will definitely be going back. I would give 5 stars but I hold those until we have been someplace 3 times or more!' That want take long to get to! read more

Perfect! Get the grits! I'm a southern girl and I make grits.... But never have I had grits like this. They were great for breakfast the next morning warmed in the microwave as well. White pizza. Yum. Service and friendliness GREAT! read more
Pizza grace is by far one of the best pizzas I've had in Birmingham! The first time we came here, I thought the pizza was a bit too charred for my liking and made it taste slightly burnt but I've discovered you can ask for "light bake" which makes them come out perfect! I feel like they have different specialty pizzas every time I come here because I've definitely tried out so many different toppings and flavors! Service is very quick and the restaurant itself is very casual (I've walked in with scrubs before). It's located right next to a gelato place so you can top off your lunch/dinner with some delicious dessert! Will definitely be back!! read more

This place was so good I forgot to take more pictures! I've had an obsession with classic pepperoni for a while now but can never find a place that does it right and they did! I can't wait to go back and try a variety of toppings but for tonight, this was perfect! The owner is extremely personable and the vibe of the space is very sophisticated and clean! read more

I have heard a lot of great things about this place, so I was excited to try it. We got the pepperoni pizza and the vegetarian. I added the Eastaboga Hot Honey as well. The ingredients are absolutely stunning. The locally sourced produce is incredible! I regret not getting the summer salad, and I will definitely return just to try it! The pepperoni was delicious. The crust was light and crispy and beautifully cooked. There was a more than generous portion of pepperoni as well. There is Aleppo pepper added and it really adds a great depth and subtle warmth. The vegetarian was also beautiful. The mushrooms were incredible. I couldn't stop picking them off. I added a bit of the honey to this one for some added spice. Delicious! I will say the menu is limited as far as choices, but you won't be disappointed with the choice you make. read more

We stayed in a condo alone this restaurant and this place smelled so good each time we walked by we had to try it. Little pricy but definitely freshly made from scratch. Pizza was great. Garlic bread was not for me. Good flavor but bread was soft and couldn't hold up to garlic oil/butter brushed on top. Marinara sauce was good. I'm a bit of a ranch connoisseur, so I had to try theirs- so good!!! Definitely would stop by there again when visiting Birmingham. read more
I had heard great things about this place, and finally came here with friends last weekend. Staff is super friendly. So many of them checked on me while I waited for my friends to come. They have a counter area with seat there as well as two large tables that if you go as a small group will end up sitting next to other people here. I ordered the 14" Papas pizza. It had potatoes, onions, and rosemary on top. It was okay, but I would order a different one next time. Overall the staff was great 5/5 stars! The food was okay, I give it about 3/5 stars. read more
Really great pizza place at Mercantile on Morris Ave. I didn't get the young lady's name that served me but she was great. Warm personality and very welcoming to the establishment. The menu is a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Not very many options. However they are very new so hopefully they add more pizzas and items to the menu later on. But even with the small menu I definitely recommend and I will be returning for more. Both the cheesecake and pepperoni pizza are amazing. read more

We stopped by Pizza Grace on its opening night. I think it's a good addition for the area because there doesn't seem to be anything like this right here. I also really liked the attention to the details (e.g., self-serve water/lemon water, nice minimalistic dishes). The pizza itself is delicious. We tried the classic margherita and the pizza sauce was so delicious. Not overly sweet like most pizza places. However, the amount of food you get for the prices does not seem to equate for me. You almost have to get one pizza per person or a pizza plus salad or dessert. If I'm paying 21-24$ for pizza, I'm expecting I'm going to be splitting with someone and/or super full afterward. I also don't believe any salad is worth 12$ (but I don't really like salad). I'm guessing the prices have something to do with the location. I'm glad that I tried Pizza Grace, but not sure I'll come back for a while given there are other places that are as good/almost as good for better prices. read more
