Grand Rapids Georgio’s VS East Lansing Georgio’s
Don’t let the title lead you to believe that there are any fundamental differences between the Georgio’s in East Lansing verses the Georgio’s in downtown Grand Rapids. The menu, service and preparation are all the same, but the key difference comes down to something so specific that gives me an entirely different point of view of the GR Georgio’s…the time of the visit… (Perhaps it wasn’t the time, but the state of mind?)
The moment I read on GRNow.com that Georgio’s was going to be opening a location in downtown GR, I started spreading the word on Twitter, on Facebook, and to all of my close friends in the office. For anyone who hasn’t gone to Michigan State, or even visited East Lansing, they were in for a serious, pizza loving treat. I visited them for the first time in close to 7-8 years just two weeks ago. I brought three close friends to share in the experience at around 8pm. I decided to go for two of my favorite slices, the potato bacon, and the regular potato. Both slices come with a thin layer of freshly sliced potatoes, cheese, chive and drizzled with sour cream. I ordered a side of ranch to dip as well. This was the specific order I would place at 2-3am in college that would almost be enticing enough to get me to leave the bar early.
The pizza was good, but not like I remembered from college. Perhaps I had built it up so much in my head when I heard they were coming to town that they couldn’t reach this unrealistic expectation? Either way, they have nearly 50 pizza by the slice options that will leave me coming back for more. Some examples: Stuffed Meat, Mac n Cheese, Taco, Buffalo Chicken, Barbecue Chicken, and the list goes on and on and on…
I recommend that you give it a shot…especially if you are leaving one of the bars on Ionia at 2am. –Jon Dodge
