    Cold beer on tap.

    Very good pizza friendly staff. Server was very friendly. Prices were very good. House margarita was yummy my gal said. Lots of beer on tap.

    I was on my way to a place when I realized that I was super hungry, so I saw Vitale's on the way and decided to drop by. I got the Classic Vitale's Pizza - Deluxe, 12". On the deluxe pizza, you have sliced pepperoni, ham, Italian sausage (that is homemade), mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. Needless to say, it was a very hearty pizza. The pizza was good! It wasn't oily, which I appreciated. The amount of toppings they added was in generous portions. The veggies tasted good - not wilty like how I have experienced in pizzas elsewhere. The meats on the pizza were delicious. It lasted me three meals. The crust was good - I do prefer slightly more doughy and thicker crust, but that is just a personal preference. For the 12" pizza it was $20.90, 14" was $23.60, and 16" 26.65. But considering how it lasted me 2-3 meals, I suppose the prices are pretty decent! But if I were to spend that much money on a pizza, I'd probably rather go to Martha's. But Vitale's later hours make it much more convenient. The service was good though. I ordered behind the counter, and got to talk to the people who worked there - super nice! It was fun talking to them. It was around 9:00pm on a Sunday, and I waited for around 15-20 mins to get my pizza.

    The pizza here was phenomenal. The breadsticks, not so much. The sauce was possibly the best sauce I've ever had. We ordered a few dozen pizzas for a party and it went mostly okay. For a large order, you have to place it 2 days ahead of time - understandable. When we picked our order up, some of it was not ready. Therefore, we had to make two trips to get all of our food.

    Club wrap
    Katy C.

    I've been to Vitale's a handful of times and enjoy this local sports bar/pub. The menu includes pizza, sandwiches, wraps, salads, pasta specialties, and more. I ordered a club wrap with chips the last time we were there and Nate got the deluxe sub. The sub was definitely the way to go! I loved the soft bread and the toppings were plentiful. The wrap was decent, just your average club wrap. The kettle chips were pretty bad somehow, they tasted like nothing to me. I might get fries next time. I've had Vitale's pizza before and it's average. I think I prefer Peppino's to Vitale's for pizza at least. Our server was swamped and they were definitely short staffed so we had to ask for a couple things a few times but overall it was a good visit. I don't frequent this neighborhood spot too often but I've been satisfied when I do stop in.

    French onion soup VITALI on Leonard
    Mike B.

    This place has the best French onion soup in town! The pasta is delicious too. There was a buffalo chicken pizza ordered for the table which I did not try because I was full, but everybody said it was very good

    Stromboli
    Jason C.

    I opened the stromboli after eating some of it and noticing what I thought was extra cheese was raw dough. Not a little undercooked, but inedible raw. I tried to convince myself it was cheese cause there's no way it could be that raw. But it didn't break down in my mouth and did not taste like cheese. I really wanted it to be cheese cause I was hungry and wanted to eat it. So gross. I recommend going to the Vitale's in Comstock. They are always on point. I've had several bad experiences at the Leonard location. Highly don't recommend

    After spending 2 days in the heat at Upheaval fest my friend and I were looking for a kitchen open late that was close by. Vitale's popped up and after looking at the photos of the interiori was sold. We arrived at 11pm she's the kitchen was open for another half hour. We got a large meat lovers pizza and let me tell you, we were blown away. One of the best pies I've had in a long time. Fresh from the oven the cheese pull was epic. The Italian sausage had a great fennel flavor and the sauce was slightly sweet. The staff was great being very attentive even though we rolled in almost at the cutoff. Really the only thing I would complain about was my phone (t-mobile) could not get a signal inside the restaurant. But that's my network's issue not Vitale's.

    It's ok. It's not the best pizza I ever had it's not the worst either. This is only my preference I don't like my green pepper and onion all diced up super tiny. The crust was very chewy. I ordered the deluxe and it seemed to be mostly green pepper and onions, mushrooms are from a can. I wasn't to impressed. I won't order it again

The space is cozy and pretty large, with what looked to be a private area with a birthday party going on towards the back. Our server was really friendly and patient as we explored the menu, which features Sicilian items like pizza, pasta, and several starters. We wanted to try some appetizers so we ordered the cozze di mare (mussels) with white sauce, rotoli (eggplant rolls filled with Prosciutto di Parma, house-made tomato sauce and provolone cheese, baked then topped with basil), and a Caesar salad. The mussels and eggplant dish came out first and were delicious. I personally loved the eggplant rotoli the most - the eggplant was tender, the sauce was savory, and it was stuffed with cheese and prosciutto... yum! I would get this as a meal with a side of garlic bread for dipping. The mussels were nicely cooked and the sauce was subtle. The salad was crisp and fresh and I liked the different toppings (fresh tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes). The Caesar salad only comes in the large size, but it was good to share with the group. For dinner we shared a couple of pizzas - the bocce and a margherita. The freshly grated cheese over top was perfection - don't skip this! I loved all the toppings on the bocce (basically a version of a supreme pizza) but the pepperoni was my favorite with how crispy it got. The crust was missing a bit of flavor for me, but it was cooked well and not soggy. We were too stuffed for dessert but I'd come back for their cannoli or rotating cheesecake flavors! I want to try their pasta next also.

Yum We ordered garlic bread for the main dish and it too was delicious crusty and perfectly cooked. My husband said it needed a little more garlic flavor but I loved it. He had spaghetti and meatballs and said it was the best he hahad in Grand Rapids! He is a tough critic so this is a real compliment. I had the Ricotta Salsicca for the main dish and it was fantastic! Seasoned perfectly. The sauce and cheese were amazing We had the cannoli's for desert! Delicious crispy with yummy filling! April was our waitress and she was on top of everything! She made recommendations and was pleasant and personable. We had been to the other location many times but the new location is gorgeous! Modern and spacious with a great parking lot! We will be back no doubt but thanks for a great Valentine's Day!

Ceasar salad was tossed lighting with dressing and it was also very tasty. Others raved about the northern sampler which they seemed to love.
