The "Take and Bake Pizza" concept started in the Pacific Northwest and is very new east of the Mississippi. Jonathan Kelley, owner of J's Pizza Market, says the process forces us to make a better quality product because we cannnot hide things under cheese. The real benefit to the customer is that you can pick it up at 4 p.m., put it in your refrigerator and cook it at 7 p.m. It comes out of your oven, fresh, hot and ready to eat. Thus the slogan, "We make it fresh. You make it hot."

Gourmet pizzas include the "White Knight" which is made with fresh basil, oregano and olive oil and topped with four types of cheeses - Fontina, Swiss, Gorgonzola, and mozzarella. Or the "Cookout", which is topped with barbecue chicken, red onions, cilantro, mozzarella, cheddar and olive oil.

Out-of-the-ordinary pizzas include the "Escalante" which is prepared with homemade black sauce, tomatoes, black olives, red onions, jalapenos, cilantro, mozzarella and cheddar. Or the "Rai", which features chicken marinated with oriental sauce, broccoli, scallions, shredded carrots, slivered almonds, Fontina cheese, mozzarella and olive oil.
J's Pizza Market also makes unusual sandwiches such as the "Newcomer", which includes roasted turkey, cucumbers, fat-free dill sauce, provolone cheese, green leaf lettuce and sprouts. Or the "Tree Hugger", which is made of mushrooms, red onions, black olives, green peppers, red peppers, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, green leaf lettuce, avocado and sprouts.

J's Pizza Market is tucked in the corner of a small retail center at Little Mountain Road and Mentor Avenue. To create an "authentic" market atmosphere in this unique 2200 square foot space, awnings are installed over the interior windows. Outdoor benches are provided for customer seating and a weathered brick wall is featured with the faded letters, "Pizza Market". Kelley says they strive to make the atmosphere fun for customers and employees and to provide unusually fresh, quality products.
