Seriously. 50 kinds of fresh pizza. Yep, Georgio's offers that many kinds of pizza. Consider Mac 'n' Cheese with Bacon; or Blue Cheese Chicken and Bacon or Black Bean pizzas. Located in a narrow storefront right next door to HopCat and just behind the VanAndel Arena, this fairly new to Grand Rapids pizza joint is popular for lunch. Georgio's, which is a three store West Michigan based franchise, features walk-up pizza by the slice that is pre-baked; they pop in the oven to finish cooking while you wait. Within a few minutes of making your choice, the pizza is pulled from the oven hot. Slices are huge. Cut from an 18 inch pie, one slice is perfect for a lunch and is more like two slices of normal size pizza. During lunch there are about eight kinds of pizza available. The Salad Pizza is a good choice, have them warm it a bit to wilt the spinach. Also recommended are the Fresh Mozzarella and Ham and Mushroom. The pizzas have a good quality cheese, not greasy or stringy which makes a big difference in by-the-slice pizza.
There are lots of options for vegetarians and people seeking meat, as well. Soft drinks are available. They offer pizza slice(s) and pop combos, check the board for prices.
