Straightforward Dinner: Herb & Fire Pizzeria in Grand Rapids
On the hunt for a no-nonsense dinner, we landed at Herb & Fire Pizzeria, adjacent to the Celebrations Cinema. The premise is simple: build your own pizza. Both of us settled on the Uccello, a meat-centric choice. We added some extras — special cheeses, proteins, and veggies. Service was attentive and direct, much appreciated. The dough held its own; the only thing that could enhance the experience would be real wood in the fire. All things considered, it's a solid pick for an affordable pizza in Grand Rapids.
Delicious pizza! First place I went to when I arrived at Grand Rapids! They have build your own pizza! We chose the cauliflower crust and it was delicious! The crust was thin and crispy. The roasted mushrooms, artichoke, pesto, and tomatoes went well together! I probably won’t get the vegan cheese again though. I would definitely come back again!
Good quality, wood-fired pizza with many topping choices. Thin or thick crust available. Set menu, or create your own. Pop, both fountain and bottled as well as other flavored water and sports drink choices. Cheesy garlic breadsticks and meatballs are choices too. Salads for those going low carb. Nice pizza addition to the Northeast Grand Rapids area!
Went on a Tuesday night to avoid crowds and had no trouble finding a seat. The best thing about Herb & Fire is the variety and quality of their ingredients and the price. Two of us shared a pizza and ate for about $13 including a tip. The dining room offers a variety of high and regular-height tables. Even sitting next to the window on a mild winter night was comfortable.
Only downsides, couldn't find an IPA beer, and it was kind of loud--even with a mostly empty dining room--for talking.
We love this place hubby always gets thin crust and I get thick crust. They have so many toppings, different cheeses and sauces you can get other then traditional pizza sauce. They do allow dine in, patio seating and inside you can sit by the doors that open to a screen for some fresh air. Staff are very friendly and fast yes it does get busy and since the pizzas are made to order you could have a wait but it is so worth it.... BTW the jalapeños they have are fresh not pickled and they have no heat or flavor they only down side to hubby's pizza. We will definitely be returning.
Overall great experience. Very similar to a MOD, Blaze , or MiPi. They have templates or build your own options. The staff here was very friendly and helpful being my first time here. If I am ever in the area craving pizza I'll stop by again and would recommend.
Update: As always, the best customer service and great food. By far the best of the Uccello's brand :)
I had never even heard of this business until my uccellos reward card said I get a free pizza from there for my birthday. I called and asked what the specifications were on the pizza and they said they only make 11" pizzas but it could be unlimited toppings. Staff was friendly, and informative. Pizza was really good and they didn't skimp on the toppings even though the pizza was a freebie. Restaurant was well-lit and decent sized. Very clean. Lots of different drink choices. I'm a fan.
Delicious wood-fired pizza (both **gluten-free** and regular), and friendly, helpful staff.
TIP—> order online if you can...sometimes it will be buy-one-get-one-half-off!
TIP—> The create-your-own is the way to go, because you get unlimited toppings for a flat rate of $10.95. Up charge for various crust alternatives.
TIP—> We got one of their craft lemonades as well (one “spicy,” one berry, though they weren’t my favorite...tasted a bit...perfumed?).
TIP—> Nice, relaxed atmosphere with high top tables & low tables. Alcohol is offered as well, if you prefer that with your pizza.
TIP—> Check into “Happiest Hours,” with discounts on breadsticks, one topping pizzas, and craft beers.
They also offer fundraising opportunities.
All around, a great place to grab a pizza! Looking forward to trying their salads & flatbreads, too!

The cauliflower crust was delish!!! I am not a pizza eater because I never feel good after eating pizza but their pizza was awesome! My husband hated his BBQ pizza tho 😂
Friendly staff who help you choosing pizza toppings. You can order a pizza by name and let them make it or you can custome build your own. Chef Ace made our three pizzas and they were cooked perfectly. Ask for Ace!
