We are Vitale's Pizza of Zeeland.

For more than 50 years, the Vitale family has been serving West Michigan with the finest pizza and Italian food. Vitale’s began when Salvatore Vitale immigrated from Sicily to Grand Rapids. In 1966 Sam opened Vitale’s located on Leonard Street NE. Sam used the same time-tested recipes brought over from the old country. Even today, Vitale’s continues to insist on the freshest ingredients.

Everything is done in house from chopping the vegetables to making their own sausage, dough and sauces.

Since then, two of Sam’s children, Agostino and Maria, have opened their own Vitale’s restaurants. Agostino and Kerri Vitale own the Comstock Park location, and Ryan and Maria Snyder own the Zeeland location. Ryan and Maria started their pizza business as a take out in 1991, and have recently expanded their business to their current location. What once was a small takeout pizza business has now become a full service restaurant.

With an extensive menu that includes salads, burgers, subs, pasta, and of course our award winning pizza, it won't take you long to realize there is something for everyone at Vitale's! Our diverse list of comforting entrees is just one of the reasons our customers keep coming back. With a full service bar, many flat screen TVs, carry out dining, online ordering, and a long list of specials and exclusive offers, it won't take you long to realize that our customers are our top priority.

Ryan and Maria are proud to carry on the family traditions with family recipes and award winning pizza. They are very thankful to the Zeeland community for all of the business they have provided through the years. Thanks to all of you who call Vitale’s home.
