Grand Street Pizza & Restaurant

Grand Street Pizza is a family-owned restaurant on North Smithfield Road in Knightdale, and pies and pasta are what it is built on. The kitchen makes its sauce in house and tosses the dough by hand, and the owners say they use fresh ingredients and serve nothing but the best.

Their thinking about pizza is that it brings people together, whether the table holds a family dinner or a little league team celebrating a win. The food, they say, should be as good as the company sharing it.
