Stone oven cooked goodness from a little mom and pop restaurant.
Italian Stallion Sub: Dense with meats and cheese. Toasted on the darker side, but still plenty soft. The pizza sauce was a nice addition. It was a tad spicy, but plenty mellow for me (I can take habanero hot). The ends (less than an inch) of the sub were a bit empty of meat and over toasted, but the rest was fine.
14” Pizza: Ordered pepperoni, sausage, and bacon and it was a great balance of everything. The cheese was spot on and the toppings were a great amount for the pizza. The pepperoni was a bit on the lighter side, but it honestly seemed calculated for the best flavor in this case.
The pizza texture was a bit on the tougher side and darker cooked, but that comes with the stone oven cooking. It is a different way of cooking that has a strong following out there. I am not a big fan of the method, but I really enjoyed this pizza nonetheless.
Conclusion: I’ve been recommended this place and I can see why. They have been around for almost 40 years and it is a cozy little place in Hudsonville. Give them a try!

Read moreI called at 5pm on Friday for their carry out special, they said they no longer offered this and I could get the same pizza for $5 more, or a smaller pizza and it would only be $3 more. I ordered the smaller pizza and they told me 45minutes. I pulled up at 545 and called the number and they said it would be a COUPLE minutes. Finally at 6, because I had somewhere to be at 630, I called and asked how much longer, after 15 minutes ago telling me a couple minutes, they now told me about 10 minutes. I let them know I couldn't wait that long and they hung up on me. No apologies for the long wait, no apologies for the lie told to me when I first arrived, just a hang up. Terrible customer service, I realize things come up, tell me that when I call the first time instead of saying a cpl minutes so I can decide if I really have enough time to wait instead of wasting my time. I just started going to Saras a cpl months ago and have been back a few times for the "carryout" special but that being gone and the lack of customer service, I will...

Here to agree with the rest of the reviews since Sara's was sold. They're still using the basic formula which is good, but penny pinching is driving out the business. The last time I went, out pizza was doughy and they mixed up my order. This time, the dough was burnt on the ends and soggy in the middle, so they cranked up the heat on the oven to get the pizzas out quicker. And one of my pizzas barely had any sauce on it.
