While trying to avoid the usual summertime road construction, my husband and I drove past this wonderful little neighborhood in the Heritage Hills section of Grand Rapids. There is a whole corner that looked absolutely charming, with beautiful storefronts filled with delicious looking food, and outdoor tables filled with happy diners, kids, and dogs.
We were on our way to visit a Shawn's mom in Spectrum Heart. Once we finished our visit, we couldn't wait to get back and explore this charming little corner of the world. There are quite a few food offerings on this corner, but we were both looking for a good slice of pizza. So we stopped at Nantucket Bakery, and bought some San Francisco sourdough and a few cookies to take home, and headed directly for Martha's Pizza.
There were five different pies ready, so we took one slice of each to try. Wow! The pizza looked great, and smelled even better. But when we discovered how inexpensive the pizza was, we were both worried. How could they possibly make a great pie and charge so little? Once we tried it, we didn't think about it again! This is some seriously great pizza, served with pride and a smile from the young man who has obviously made it. He knew how good it was!
The crust is a really good Neopolitan dough that is thin and light, but still perfectly chewy. You know instantly that it has been baked in a stone hearth oven. All the toppings we're great, with just the right proportion of everything. And the sauce.... The sauce was so good! It was full of flavor, with just a little zing to it. And again, it was just the right amount.
My favorite slices were the cheese, and the pineapple, ham, and sriracha. The slice of cheese was just perfect simplicity. The sriracha and pineapple and ham slice had the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and spicy.
We sat outside in the sunshine eating this wonderful lunch, watching the people and dogs walk by. It was just kind of perfect!
Truly great pizza! I have already decided when I come back which pizza to order next! Margherita!
