Last January, we told you that Cottage Inn Pizza was plotting a new location downtown Grand Rapids... well, it's officially open! The new restaurant at 15 Ionia Ave. SW #140 is now serving its signature pies, calzones, and wings in the heart of Grand Rapids.

Cottage Inn Pizza: A Michigan Staple Since 1948

The Michigan-based chain first got its start in Ann Arbor back in 1948, becoming the city’s first restaurant to serve pizza. What began as a small, college-town favorite has grown into a regional staple, with more than 50 Cottage Inn Pizza locations across Michigan and Ohio.
