Alger Heights is like many other downtown Grand Rapids satellite communities. Rows of cute bungalows flank the streets beneath leafy oaks and maples. Parks and a community garden neighbor the school, the library, the bank and the church. The area is well-known for its diversity and without question one of the city’s melting pots. From this blend of cultures has emerged an array of community businesses, local cuisine, neighborhood celebrations, and camaraderie among those who live and work in the area. My favorite place to hang out is with the Pizza Boys.
JB’s Pizza Parlor was founded by Jeff and Sherita and their five daughters in 1998 with the hope of bringing quality gourmet pizza to Alger Heights. Not only does it have a welcoming Mom and Pop ambiance, but an incredible menu as well. Pizza, pasta and sandwiches to die for. And because it’s right out the back door from Mike’s office, not a week goes by that we don’t drop in to indulge. Even in my attempt to be more health conscious, they can accommodate with a variety of delicious salads. But you know what the best part is?
Whenever I ask for fat-free dressing, I get an eye-roll and a “Whatever. Like you really need it.”

I heart the Pizza Boys!
