Neighborhood Pizza

What happens when a California restaurant guy trades corporate chains for a north Springfield strip mall? You get Neighborhood Pizza... and one heck of a story. 🍕

Joy Robertson chats with Larry Grace, who literally wrote a letter that convinced founder and former owner, Lisa, to sell him the place back in 2017. Since then, Larry’s been carrying on her legacy (and her grandma’s legendary sweet French dressing) while putting his own spin on the menu with calzones, loaded specialty pies, and enough toppings to make folding a slice practically illegal.

From loyal customers who kept them booming through COVID to dreams of franchising, Larry proves a neighborhood spot can have big-time flavor and heart.
