With both of us getting Labor Day off, and with no prior plans, we figured a relaxed lunch-time stroll on Grand would be nice. Plus, this always allows us to peruse the shops and restaurants to find the best fit for our current cravings. Today our cravings led us to
Punch Pizza, which serves traditional Neapolitan pizza.
It is unique to many of the pizza spots we have been to, in that you order at the counter, wait five minutes max, and have a super fresh pizza brought to your table. They cook the pizzas in a wood fired oven at 800 degrees, and they only take 90 seconds.
We ordered a margherita extra, which has fresh mozzarella di bufala, crushed San Marzano tomatoes and Mount Vesuvio tomatoes, as well as the bruni, which is made with sausage, spiced salami, onions and oregano.

Both pizzas tasted super fresh and very light, with a very thin, charred-bubbly crust. Since we were close, and could use the excuse that we were technically "exercising" by walking all up and down Grand, we decided to swing by Grand Ole Creamery. We ordered two waffle cones, one with smores ice cream, and another with mocha chip. Both were great, as usual.
Grand Ave was shockingly empty, and we had a relaxing time walking around, enjoying the beautiful weather. Can't wait to check out more new spots this fall!
