Gracie’s Apizza - Jennings Lodge

There are too many good things to say about Gracie’s. My man Craig is out here pouring his heart and soul into beautiful food, and it shows. My spouse and I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the new space, and it’s absolutely beautiful. A good size of indoor and outdoor seating, lovely decor and fun personal touches. The quality of the food is excellent. Craig goes out of his way to source fresh, innovative ingredients and crafts them into gorgeous pies. The dough is prepared so well, and the pies cook beautifully in the wood fired oven. I highly recommend trying the daily pie, they’re always fun, delicious and creative. The tomato pie is probably my favorite, it’s simple, classic, and so tasty. There is also homemade ice cream, appetizers, and great wine selections. I think the thing I appreciate the most about Gracie’s, other than the great quality of the food, is that everything is done with genuine love and attention. It’s a staple in the St. John’s community and I love that the space cultivates that. Yes, you’ll probably have to wait an hour for your food when it’s busy, but it’s worth it to me. Every time we’ve gone it’s been consistently tasty.

Here's what you need to know going in... there are not a ton of options or ingredients to choose from, there are no fancy plates, or seating... but you don't need that from Gracie's because each combination they put together are perfect just the way they are.The daily pie tonight was a white pie, with creamed morels, fennel fronds and a green herby, pesto like sauce. It was in one word, divine.

Go!! A gem. Delicious interesting flavored pizza. I had the pizza with Hazel nuts and my partner had the pizza with cherries and chorizo. My partner is gluten free and can eat the crust without any effects because it’s heritage flour. Get there early.Food: 5/5

We couldn't wait to try Gracie's and we were not let down by the hype. Handmade to order, each pie is crafted using local ingredients. The crust was crispy yet chewy. The flavor combinations were unique and worth trying.Definitely save room for their ice cream, which is absolutely divine. The spruce tips with cocoa nibs was excellent!There's a bit of a wait for food and they sell out quickly. Expect to spend a while there and order a bottle of wine.Kid-friendliness: Not a family friendly restaurant! Wait times are LONG and there is little space to sit and wait. We watched several families struggle with keeping their children from blocking the doorway and/or having a meltdown from being hungry and bored.

An absolute treat!We’ve been fans of Gracie’s for some time, and were thrilled to hear they were moving into the old Cathedral Cafe space.On our first visit with friends we ordered four different pies we loved them all! Two stand out favorites were the Daily and Mozz with sausage. But also really enjoyed the Briny and Ricotta pie.For those folks who love crust, this is my favorite! Thin, fluffy, and crispy. I don’t know how they do it but it is so tasty! the wood fire oven adds so much flavor.When our group wasn’t reveling in the flavor combinations of each pie, we were admiring the renovated space. From the fun wallpaper and wood ceiling to the intimate touches that showcase the spirit of the man behind the pie.I feel so lucky to live just down the way.Other helpful Information:First come first serve.
