Rhode Island seems to offer stiff competition for its Hot Wieners. Cosmic was recommended to me for grinders, but when I got there I decided to try their wieners (based on other Yelpers' reviews.) Glad I did. Cosmic's wiener was solid with a soft, pillowy bun. The wiener itself was hot and tasty with a good bite (with no noticeable snap, as I prefer it.) Ordering "all the way" gets you mustard, onion, meat sauce, and celery salt. The meat sauce was more like finely chopped, seasoned meat, rather than sauce. I could have done without the celery salt as it seemed to add an slightly artificial taste. While hardly a an out-of-this-world "cosmic" wiener, overall, it was a very satisfying and tasty wiener. read more

Cosmic Pizza Steak & Wieners - American Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Fifth stop for the day. Second of the final three on today's RI FOOD FIGHTS Lord of the Pies run. Six pizzas total. By this point you start questioning your life choices, but then you walk into a place like Cosmic Pizza Steak & Weiners and remember why you're doing this. Cosmic Pizza was home base for Pilgrim High School kids back in the '80s. The place we'd hit after basketball and hockey games, when pizza was fuel and community was guaranteed. Walking in tonight felt like stepping into a time machine, except everything's been upgraded. The location moved down the street from the original spot. Cleaner now. More modern. Brighter. The kind of place that kept what mattered and improved everything else. And the pizza? Better than it was back then. The place was packed. Standing room only with about fifteen people waiting for orders despite the ovens running full tilt. Tables full, to go orders flying out the door. A neighborhood spot that's clearly still doing what it's always done, just evolved. Rob, the manager, runs the room like he's conducting an orchestra in the middle of a rush. The place is buzzing, hectic, absolutely humming with activity, but he's got it all under control. And somehow, in the middle of all that, he still takes the time to talk to you. Makes it clear how grateful he is that you showed up. That's not just good service. That's genuine hospitality under pressure. The pizza justifies the crowd. The crust is what stands out first. Super light, airy, crispy in a way that feels almost delicate but still has structure. Not thin crust territory but not thick either. Just right for what they're doing. The sauce brings herbs forward. Savory, not sweet. You can taste the seasoning, taste the intent behind it. The cheese is quality stuff, melts right, browns in the spots that matter. Whatever toppings you order are going to be good because they're clearly not cutting corners on ingredients. The operation itself is something to watch. Tons of people working, all moving fast, all under pressure. But every single one of them smiles. Acknowledges you. Makes it clear they're grateful you showed up. That's culture, not accident. That comes from the top down through Rob to everyone on the line. Nostalgia can mess with your judgment. Makes you think things were better than they were. But Cosmic proves you can go back and find something actually improved. The energy is the same. The community feel is the same. Everything else got better. The space, the food, the friendliness of everyone involved. Fifth pizza of the day, stomach protesting, and this one lands differently because of what it represents. A place that's been feeding a community for decades and somehow got better instead of coasting on history. Worth the wait. Worth the crowd. Worth coming back when you're not trying to eat six pizzas in one day. And we will. read more

On Wednesday we checked into Hampton Inn in Warwick Rhode Island. We had dinner at Cosmic Pizza Beef & Weiners! They don't call them Hot Dogs around here; they are called "WEINERS" & I was corrected more than twice when I called them Hot Dogs! Here on their weiners they put Meat Sauce with mustard onions and celery salt. I had to try one! Not going to lie. Not half bad but the meat sauce aka chili where I come from was a little bland. The Pizza was a Cosmic minus green peppers and add banana peppers. It was very good! I could have ate more of that! read more

If you haven't tried Cosmic yet, Id recommend. Easily of the best pizza and grinder spots I've had. It's a little small but still had plenty of benches for seating. Service was pretty quick and food is flavorful. read more

I'm here a couple times a week. Always good, Sammy, Rob, Dave, and the crew are always great. Never had an issue.

If you're looking for the closest spot to the airport for a weiner, Cosmic is the place. Right off of Post Rd, it is ready to find with it's brightly lit sign. Inside we were greeted by the Pizza Queen and she was a charming ray of sunshine as we placed our order. The place was hustling to pump out food for a busy Saturday night. Once we placed our order we sat down at one of the many booths available in the small dining room. While we were waiting, a woman was expressing her dissatisfaction for an order of chicken tenders she had received. They were overcooked. When she brought it to one of the guys in the kitchen's attention, the first thing he did was try to explain why the food was overcooked. The woman was very kind about it, but she was firm that as a customer of over 13 years she has never experienced her chicken tenders being this crispy before. The cook continued to argue with her, with a second cook joining in. I think they finally realized that maybe they should make the customer happy when they noticed that all of us in the dining room were staring at them as they were arguing with this poor woman who just wanted properly cooked chicken tenders. It sounds to me like their oil was just too dark to serve food at the classic golden brown color. After that, our food was ready. And that's where things got better for us. The weiners themselves were perfectly cooked, beautifully soft steamed buns, the meat sauce very flavorful and just the right amount of mustard onions and celery salt. The fries themselves were unseasoned but we quickly fixed that with some salt and ketchup. While I did overall enjoy my dinner here at Cosmic, the attitude of that cook left a sour taste in my mouth so unfortunately I don't think I will be back. The only reason why I gave this 4 stars as opposed to the 3 I initially wanted to, was because of the Pizza Queen, her stellar service and the fact that I did enjoy the food. I did not think that the establishment deserved to be punished for one person's lack of customer service. read more

Stopped by Wednesday for lunch. Dude, who may have been named Rob, cashed me out and did not give me back my credit card. 10 minutes down the road i realized it, I turned around and went back in, he claims he did not have it. Did not get a good feeling, he was rude and unsympathetic. Would not return, next day "someone" in Warwick tried to use my card, it was denied as i had to cancel my card 2 days before Christmas. read more

Rats scurry about the dining room...NEVER EVER AGAIN. Place is very grimy and dirty. It pains me to have to write this I ordered several times a month there...pizza, Steak and cheese, Ceasars Salad...now just thinking about it makes me drunk heave. I can never go back. I know its a common problem but actually seeing it ...I walked out and the girl brought my order to the car and apologized. Sandwich went in the garbage and never been back and never will. There are services to ensure that doesn't happen. read more

I've had Cosmic Pizza twice this year, and both times I was extremely satisfied! Both times, I ordered the large barbeque chicken pizza, and it was delicious. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone who's looking for a new pizza joint to try out. I was also presently surprised when they gave me a complimentary small cheese pizza with my order. Additionally, the second time I ordered from them. I needed to make an adjustment to my order, and they were extremely accommodating. Will definitely be ordering from them in the future! read more

This is a small location the both times I've been there I noticed a lot of regulars come here, they are greeted by their names. They don't currently have a paper menus but do have a QR code and boards up with specials. I got the weiners on both stops which I recommend.. it's a small space with one game machine read more

Cosmic is our go to pizza and sandwich place ! Never disappoints !! Pizza is always great and the Italian grindah toasted is a favorite!

Good pizza, good sandwich. Just what we were looking for on a quick trip from Braintree!

I waited for my pizza and it never came. Staying at the hotel down the street from the shop. I don't understand what happened and no one even called me. read more

If you don't want to listen to pro-Trump and anti-immigrant rhetoric from the line cooks while dining, avoid this place.

My favorite spot in Warwick !!I'm always ordering from here the Vaughn grinder and the buffalo wings are the best !!

my stomach has hurt after giving this place several chances , their food is loaded with grease (it even stains the bags) and they aren't that great ... better options out there. read more

I will never buy here again. I was very specific in my order and my order was made however, they wanted to make it I guess the employees forget I am the one paying for the food and they should be making as I requested now how they want to make it so that is something that they have to work on. read more

The pizza queen girl taking the orders is phenomenal!.. she reminds you of Betty Boop, very friendly and outgoing.. she seems to always try to make customs feel welcome.. I'm sure she makes the business a lot of money! 'You're business is only as good as your staff'! Great job Gina-Bel! read more

I decided last night to try their Clam Strips. Big mistake!! They're just frozen clam strips! I should have just bought frozen clam strips at the grocery store. Over cooked And the fries were mushy! The order took 45 minutes! A little ridiculous! !!! Never again !!! A waste of $15! Cheap and still not worth it!! I'm read more

Visiting from Texas and Place was absolutely delicious and service was so east coast. Loved the grinders ! read more

Great service ! The food is always amazing and on point . Always fresh and hot. The people who work there are also very nice. I usually order the pepperoni pizza and the chilli cheese fries 10/10 read more

The food was good and the employees were very friendly and the pizza is the best I've had

Cosmic Steak, Pizza & Weiners is a no frills place that offers (as the name woukd imply) cheesesteaks, pizza and hot dogs. As I said, it is definitely a no frills place, so don't walk in with any expectations of ambiance, but the food offered here (cheesesteaks, pizza and hot dogs) were never intended to be anything even remotely closely associated with high brow. The cheesesteaks here are pretty good and something that I would recommend. This is what I had on my visit and it was both filling and good. The pizza didn't look bad. If I find myself up here again (I travel quite a bit for work), I woujd return and maybe I would try the pizza. The cheesesteak would probably be calling my name, though. Cosmic Steak, Pizza & Weiners is definitely a good place to stop and I would recommend it. Go check them out. read more

We are visiting the area for my husbands job. We stopped here and and dined in. We ordered a couple of pizzas, which were fantastic, but they were so warm and friendly! They cut our kids pizza up and even let it cool before giving it to us. They checked it over with us but to even take the time to think of our family dynamic was so awesome and welcoming! The lovely Gina came out to talk with the kids and was so sweet. We'll be going back probably this week, there are other things on the menu we'd like to try! read more

I usually don't rate a spot until the third time i go but damn. 13 pounds of steak on their large cheesesteak. I got the everything on it. Very serious. 2023 with 13 ounces of steak on a cheesesteak for $21 which is very reasonable. I'll try the pizza and other things for a 5 star... read more

Customer service isn't the greatest. The food is great. The phone should not be at the register its hectic and makes the cashier direct her attention to her call and not you. Ive been charged two different prices for the same exact item within a week of each order. And as I was asking about it, the older women at the register decided to answer the phone and when she was done with her call she said well idk this is the price read more

Would give 5 stars but the prices are a bit high. Steak and cheese is amazing and the pizza is that classic mom & pop Rhode Island pizza. They have some pretty decent deals too. Hot weiners aren't as good as Olneyville but still good! read more

We called in an order for pick up, waited the 25 minutes and showed up and they said two minutes. I sat and waited for another twenty minutes before asking about the food and they hadn't even started it yet. Mozzarella triangles were pretty bad, everyone else was average. Not going back any time soon. read more

Tomato sauce does not belong on a bbq chicken pizza. Otherwise, the pizza wouldn't be bad. Just could not get past the fact that there was tomato sauce AND bbq sauce on the pizza. The fries and wings are good. read more

Pizza is really good and the salads are really packed and filling, try the spinach pies

Not sure how you screw up fried mozzarella, seems they were breaded, cooked and the breaded again. They fell apart and the crumbs were everywhere. Just bad! read more

the best around! Great food great service great prices. not too many places like this local establishment

We were driving through the Northeast on a road trip and we stopped overnight in Providence one night. Admittedly, the city is thin on good food options. We had to do laundry so we had to find food nearby a laundromat and lo and behold: Cosmic Pizza. First of all, the restaurant is visually unappealing, but about par for the course with a restaurant like this. If aesthetics don't bother you, that won't be an issue. The portions are MASSIVE, and reasonably priced. You can hear the conversations going on in the kitchen and for what it's worth, all the people working here seem very personable and like they're giving it their all. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the food whatsoever. My party got pizza and steak sandwiches, and both left a lot to be desired. At best, bites were painfully average. At worst, it was disgusting. The pizza, in particular, was poorly made with uneven tomato sauce and bland cheese. Cosmic Pizza, personally, was among the worst places we ate at during the trip. Why a 3 then? Personally, rating the experience, I would give it a 1. As for my party, the other four at least enjoyed the experience, one loved it so much he said he wouldn't mind having one back home. I also feel bad giving this place a rating too low, as it is an authentic place with good people running it. The locals seem to love it, so what does it matter what I think. If you try it, you might be like the other four people I was with and enjoy it. If you fall on my side of the aisle, don't say I didn't warn you. read more

This is a quintessential NE pizza/sub shop. They have 7 booths, a Unisex bathroom & an arcade game. No counter seating. Very simple interior with formica booths & tile floor. Clean. Simple. Uncomplicated. This place is BUSY! The short order cooks seriously HUSTLE with the orders! They do a brisk takeout & delivery service here also. Phone rings off the hook.... I called in my order. I decided on a SMALL (10 inch) steak, cheese, onion, peppers LTM with a side order of fries. (I know, I know. I should've ordered a salad but not happening today). The cooks yell the orders when they are ready. (Reminds me a bit of the SNL Skit of DET's Greektown with Belushi, Akroyd). I definitely enjoyed my steak & cheese. The sub roll held up nicely to the steak, ingredients & the Au jus. The sub was very warm & cheese was melted well into the sub. Anyway: definitely a solidly good NE Pizza/ Grinder shop. It actually reminded me of when I was 6/7 yrs old visiting my boston aunts, uncles, cousins etc. & getting local pizza takeout. read more

I was craving hot wieners and stopped in on a whim for the first time. they were excellent, bun was steamed & soft, wiener was hot, meat sauce was to die for!! also took home a spinach calzone which was really stuffed with a lot of spinach!! Both were excellent - staff/owner couldn't have been nicer - I highly recommend!! I think I'll go back and try the pizza next :)) read more

Zati puts $1200 on black therefore he's a beast meatballs and sphagetti on deck they got straps in this motha fucka too so if you thinking about casing this joint ur abt to be in for a grade A reckon !!! read more

1.5 hour wait, we call for status, they put the credit card number in wrong and never called when the card was rejected. They argued about when we called, then said our order just came out of the oven and was leaving now. We got cold food. Not even warn, COLD. I always have a problem with being sent the wrong order, or something not being made as requested, regardless of possible allergies to an ingredient, which is why something is ordered a certain way. No more second chances. These people are rude, argumentative, and just don't care about their customers. read more

where do i begin , You walk in you get greeted by a friendly staff ... i was there for about 5-10 minutes i felt very welcomed and felt a great sense of pride from everyone behind the counter . Kitchen was clean , Dining room was cleaned the grills were clean . the conversation with customers was amazing . i got the XL steak and cheese with ketchup and mayo it's a side of BBQ wings ... i drove all the way from boston for the food and let me just say that it was definitely worth it the steak and cheese was packed and flavorful JUICY the portion was amazing and the wings were also very well cooked and tasty will be returning again for the good ambience and good food ! read more
