Grace Pizza & Shakes (30A – Grayton Beach)

The very first Grace Pizza was born in 1990, when founder, Adrian Hembree, as a 16-year-old, crafted his first homemade pizza for his family in Spring, Texas. Adrian learned that everyone had their own idea of the “perfect pizza.” Each person wanted something different. As he grew up, and went on to travel the world, open restaurants and explore great pizza, this notion never left him. Today, Grace Pizza and Shakes is using top-shelf ingredients and world class ovens to help you design the perfect pizza for yourself (salad, or an over the top, unforgettable ice cream shake) made exactly the way you like it.
