Place is cute, room to sit, great staff, super friendly and welcoming. Having never been I asked all the typical me questions and they never made it feel bothersome. Figured hey, when in Rome - order all the things. We got a white & a red pizza. OMG THEY ARE SOO GOOD... But we could have got smalls! I had 2 large pizzas and they are LARGE, and we tried the mozzarella sticks - might be some of the best I ever had actually! Menu has lots of things and we will definitely be back to try more! But yes, Get the pizza... It was GREAT!!!

We went for the pizza and loved the Brussel sprouts…read more We ordered the Brussel Sprouts and broccolini. The broccolini came to the table charred but mostly raw. The sprouts were perfect!! Ordered the garden salad, potato/onion/rosemary and tomato base pizzas. The crust was chewy and well done. The tomato base pizza was bland. The other two were delicious. The pizza here is expensive but I think worth it. Service was excellent -- not too fast or slow. I will be back for more pizza.

Celebrated my son's 33rd birthday at Frank Pepe's -- his pick, and a great one. Our waitress was…read moregreat and really made our time special by joining in with birthday wishes and being attentive. We ordered the Gorgonzola mushroom pizza and the tomato pie with pepperoni, and both were outstanding: gooey, cheesy, fresh, and full of flavor. The kind of pizza that lives up to the hype. We ate way more than we should have and still walked out with leftovers. Great food, great company, perfect way to celebrate. Highly recommend for a special occasion -- or really any excuse to go!

The reputation arrives first…read more Walk into Frank Pepe's on Universal Boulevard in Warwick, and a hundred years of reputation walks in with you. The original is on Wooster Street in New Haven. It opened in 1925. Frank Pepe was a 32-year-old Italian immigrant from the Amalfi coast who had been selling pies from a hat, carrying them on his head through the neighborhood market to feed factory workers who needed something hot and good and cheap. He saved enough to open a real restaurant. He built an oven. The oven stayed put for over 100 years, because you do not move a hundred thousand pounds of brick. His nickname was Old Reliable. That history is sitting at the table with you whether you know it or not. The Warwick location lit its coal-fired oven in the spring of 2018. Seven years of continuous heat. The bricks are absorbing it slowly, not all at once but building. You can taste what they share with the original, which is the part that matters. We ordered the tomato pie with meatballs. This is the right call at Pepe's and I am not apologizing for it. The tomato pie is where the place began. Two items on the original 1925 menu: tomato pie and tomato pie with anchovies. No mozzarella because there was no refrigeration. Constraint became tradition the way it always does, faster than philosophy ever manages. At Pepe's, mozzarella is optional. Pecorino and the tomatoes and the crust are the baseline, and the baseline is the argument. The sauce is crushed Italian tomatoes. That description undersells it. The sauce at Pepe's has been refined for a century to carry a pie without a cheese safety net, which means it has to be bright and acidic and complex enough to hold its own against char and dough and whatever is riding on top of it. The meatballs were sliced thin across the tomatoes and seasoned all the way to the center. That is rarer than it should be. Then there is the crust. The coal-fired oven runs somewhere above 650 degrees. The char on the edge is not decorative. It contributes a bitterness that cuts right through the acid in the tomatoes. They need each other. The leopard spots across the bottom of the pie tell you the heat and the timing were right. The crispness is structural. The chew underneath it is real. We also ordered the grilled chicken pie. Yes. At Frank Pepe's. The room has opinions and the room can have them. What I did not expect was for the chicken to be a genuine star. Not pulled, not scattered, not the afterthought that grilled chicken usually is on pizza. These were proper chunks, with intentional size, juicy in a way that should not survive a 650-degree coal oven but somehow did. Substantial. The kind of protein that makes you feel good, even though it's on a pizza. When I eat it, I feel like I'm taking vitamins. It tastes healthy. There is a lot of it. It is delicious. These three things rarely show up together on a pizza and Frank Pepe's managed all three without making it feel virtuous in the annoying way. It felt like a reward. Frank Pepe's in Warwick is not the original. Nothing will ever be the original. The original is on Wooster Street in a city that built its identity around this particular pizza and has been arguing about it for a hundred years. What the Warwick location is, is an honest attempt to bring the New Haven style here. The coal is real. The oven is real. The sauce is the sauce. The crust is the crust. Seven years of heat in those bricks doing the work that oven was built to do. Great room. Great service. Really great pizza. Old Reliable.

We've stopped here a over a year ago, and was really please with the oyster bar that was there that is no longer. Nevertheless, there were about 12 yummy food vendors to choose from. We decided to give APizza and Cusser;s Roast Beef & Seafood a try. We got everything to go, since we were staying within a min walk. APizza was amazing! We go it by the slice, I wasn't expected much, but it blew my mind!! It was a New Haven style cheese pizza... my first time. The crust is so thin and crisp with a nice chew, the perfect amount of sauce, and nicely cheesy. I was impressed, and can't wait to go back! Cusser's Roast Beef sandwich was delicious as well. My husband is the roast beef connoisseur being from New England and all... he was in heaven! It was juicy and medium rare with a James River BBQ sauce and we added mayo to it per the owners suggestion and it was super tasty. So yes, great options at this food hall, we were very satisfied! We were so thrilled with our snacks, we went back later in the evening for dessert at Mike's pastry... cannolis yum! Thanks Hub Hall for making our tummies happy :)

The ambiance is hard to judge since it is really in the shared space of the Garden. I felt the service was fine, nothing super noteworthy.

Santarpio's is one of the most famous pizza joints not just in Boston or in New England, but…read moreperhaps in all of America. It's legendary around these parts. Even though I was born and raised in the Boston area and have resided here for the entirety of my three decade long life, I've never had the original Santarpio's pizza until just now. I remember eating at their second location on Route 1 not long after it opened, but I thought it was just okay. Ever since then I've always thought to myself, "the original has gotta be better, right?" Well, my boyfriend and I finally made our way to the original Santarpio's on a Saturday a little after noon. The place isn't much to look at but was hopping for the weekend lunch rush with almost every table full, and we got put in what appeared to be one of the last available tables in the place. Our order was taken very quickly after sitting down. The menu is strictly pizza with around a dozen toppings to choose from and a handful of grilled meats. That's it. We ordered a pizza with garlic and hot peppers as well as a steak tip skewer. The steak tips were juicy and cooked nicely, but they tasted like they lacked seasoning or marinade so I had to sprinkle some salt and pepper on them. Of course, the pizza is what we were really there for and I can tell you that it checks all the boxes for a classic pizza. The crust is on the thinner, crispier side which I actually prefer. The pie as a whole had a great color and good flavor between the cheese, sauce and toppings. After experiencing it for myself, it's pretty easy to understand why Santarpio's is so highly regarded in the world of pizza. They stick to what they know and they execute it well.

We had the meat lover's pie and oh my. Wgat a delicious fusion animals, cheese, tomatoes and crust. The taste took me back to a pizza I had many years ago at a place in Cambridge--in a great way! They only sell whole pies, which at first seemed annoying (the first time I tried coming here a few years ago I was by myself and couldn't eat a whole pizza alone) so I had to make this my inaugural tasting). But I see that as ensuring you are only eating a fresh product, where all the ingredients cook into each other and come out hot and ready, instead or something reheated from four hours ago because the day was slow. The menu is simple: pizzas and meat skewers. They know what they do well and lean into it hard. The ambiance has a rustic feel, with tall, weathered wooden booths that make eating a close experience, so please bring people you really like! The servers are present but not hovering and checked on us with the kind of frequency that says, "yeah we should let you eat but not forget you are there." I will be back for sure.

It strikes a nice balance between crisp, but not burnt.

1 star First off,…read morethe pizza we received was super oily and I had to use about 10 napkins to make it edible. We ordered a pizza by phone during the St. Anthony Feast, and the woman who took our order was curt and rude from the start -- I chalked it up to the festival rush. But it got worse when we picked up. We paid $32 for a pizza and asked if we could sit inside to eat it and there were plenty of available tables. We were told no -- inside is table service only, and takeout means you take it and eat elsewhere. Fine, except there was nowhere to sit outside at the festival. When we asked about using one of their own outdoor tables (they had roughly 30, and it was 11:15am, 45 minutes before the festival even started, so the tables were empty), we were told those were reserved for table-service customers only. This was after we'd already spent $32 in their restaurant. Regina's has been around for 100 years, but somewhere along the way they stopped caring about basic hospitality. Paying customers with nowhere to eat their food shouldn't be treated as an inconvenience. We won't be back.

I decided to go with the Wicked Pesto Pizza. It came with the signature crust, pesto base, grilled chicken, blue cheese, asiago, and fresh garlic. The driver dropped it off in front of the building and I picked it up. After first trying it, I was not impressed. It was very hard and dry. I had to reheat it in the microwave for it to be edible. I was expecting a delicious pizza packed with flavor. Instead I got something that I had to force myself to eat. I know Boston is not known for their pizza but I was expecting something halfway decent. If it was not for the Uber Eats discount I would have been upset with spending the cash. Next time I will try to check out some other spots for a slice of pizza.

Cons: the food was surprisingly underwhelming. The pizzas had a nice crust but otherwise the ingredients were markedly inferior to the Regina's nearby in Medford at Station Landing, and went a bit too light on the sauce and cheese such that it was sort of dry in the mouth not juicy and flavorful like at the Medford Regina's. Antipasto was very so-so, felt like I could have put together something similar at home with much better results. And the pasta dishes...are freaking HUGE, but mainly with the pasta, not so much the meat that came with it...one of us got the sweet sausage cavatappi and the ratio of pasta to sausage was something like 15 to 1, like literally 2lbs of pasta and barely a handful of sliced sausage! Someone at the next table ordered fettucine and I noticed the same thing: huge mound of pasta, just a tiny portion of meat. I suppose this place would come in handy the night before you run a marathon if you wanted to carb load!
