Our name is a heartfelt tribute to Louie, Jaime's loyal chocolate lab. Louie's spirit of joy, warmth, and companionship perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere we strive to create. Just like Louie, our restaurant is welcoming, comforting, and full of character. our mission is to blend the comforting flavors of classic Italian cuisine with a modern, rustic twist. We believe in the power of good food to bring people together, to create memories, and to provide comfort. Our Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas and Italian-inspired dishes are crafted with love, using the finest ingredients and time-honored techniques.

About us

Founded in 2024 by Jaime Knudsen, our restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it’s a celebration of tradition, innovation, and heartfelt hospitality. Jaime’s journey into the culinary world began when he took over the beloved Pine Street Cafe in Ferrysburg. With a passion for exceptional food and a vision for community-centric dining, Jaime transformed the cafe into a local favorite. Inspired by his success and driven by his love for authentic, high-quality cuisine, Jaime embarked on a new venture: Louies Wood Fired Bar + Grill.
