Pizza in Rockford, Michigan

Downtown first. Marinades Pizza Bistro at 109 Courtland Street runs a gourmet wood oven and builds a menu around it: pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and catering, Tuesday through Thursday to 8 p.m. and Friday and Saturday to 9, closed Sunday and Monday. It is also a RORA participant, which means a slice and a drink and a walk are all one plan. People search for it as "Marinades Pizza Bar" about as often as by its real name, so if you have been looking for a bar, this is it.

Uccello's covers the other end of downtown pizza, with eighteen varieties on the menu alongside the rest of the Italian list. It is the room to take a table of eight to.

Out on Belding Road there are two more, and both are far enough from Main Street that visitors never find them. Pizzeria Grande at 6575 Belding Road NE does fresh-made pizzas and grinders. Arena's Pizza sits further out at 8841 Belding Road NE by Bostwick Lake, which is a genuinely pleasant reason to drive fifteen minutes for a pizza in July.

Fatzo's Pizza, at 346 East Main, does scratch-made pizza to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 on Friday and Saturday. For delivery there is a Domino's at 400 East Division Street and a Little Caesars on the same street.

There is no Pizza Hut in Rockford, Michigan, though the search volume suggests a lot of people assume there is. And "rockford pizza" as a search term is mostly Illinois, so if a result does not say Michigan or 49341, check before you drive.
