Jaspare's - Gull Road, Kalamazoo

Jaspare's Pizza and Fine Italian Food doesn't hide its specialties—pizza and Italian cuisine are exactly what diners have enjoyed since the first Jaspare’s opened in 1977. Made from scratch with ingredients imported from Italy by one exhausted gondolier, Jaspare’s pizza crust comes in thin, medium, and thick sizes. That crust—served plain or dusted with flavors such as garlic or Cajun spices—cushions customized toppings combos such as ground beef and banana peppers.

The pizzeria likewise curates nearly 15 specialty pies, topped with pairings such as ham and artichokes or grilled chicken and alfredo sauce. Other pizzeria and Italian favorites round out Jaspare’s menu, from pastas smothered in housemade sauces and meatballs to oven-roasted wings tossed in garlic parmesan sauce.
