Inside the Slice
Sexton’s arrival brings a craft-driven pizza partner into The Little Grand Market, pairing long-fermented dough with the energy of a shared Columbus food hall.
A Dough-First Columbus Pizza Brand Comes to Grandview
Sexton’s has built its following through patience and consistency. Its dough ferments for three days before the final dough is mixed, creating the flavor, structure, and texture that define the brand’s Brooklyn-style pies.
That process matters because slice service usually rewards speed and simplicity. Sexton’s arrival at The Little Grand Market gives guests the convenience of ordering by the slice while preserving the craft behind the pizza itself.
For a closer look at the approach, The Little Grand Market has published more on why Sexton’s is not just another slice shop and what a three-day poolish means for pizza.
“We’re very excited to welcome Sexton’s Pizza to The Little Grand Market. Their quality and consistency are exactly what we look for in our partners, and we’re confident they’ll quickly become a favorite within the market.”

Why The Little Grand Market Is the Right Fit
The Little Grand Market was designed around curated local partners, strong food concepts, and shared experiences. With 10 chef-driven concepts, two full bars, patios, and access to a three-acre sip-and-stroll park, the market gives guests several reasons to gather beyond a single meal.
Sexton’s fits that model because the brand brings a clear point of view. The menu is built around method, restraint, and repeatable quality. Inside the market, that focus becomes more accessible while still protecting the process that made the pizza stand out.

Partnership as Placemaking
At Grandview Crossing, food and beverage partners help shape how people use the community. A strong restaurant does more than serve a meal. It creates routines, invites repeat visits, and gives residents, neighbors, office workers, and visitors a shared place to meet.
That is the larger role of The Little Grand Market within Grandview Crossing. The market connects apartments, retail, office space, public green space, coffee, cocktails, local food, and events into one walkable destination close to Downtown Columbus, Grandview Heights, and Upper Arlington.
The addition of Sexton’s builds on that momentum by adding a familiar Columbus favorite with enough pull to bring people into the market and enough craft to keep them coming back.
