figidini - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Cocktails were well made and tasty. Charred Snow Pea Salad was great and I'm not a salad aficionado. The wife is though and she agreed. We had a couple pizzas. I can't compare them to anything else in Rhode Island. Wood-Fired but super thin base and a fluffy, chewy crust. Toppings were delicious and generous. Quality stuff. The service was excellent as well. Ate at the bar and the bartender was attentive and all in on the place. She gave us the background on the owner and their philosophy. She enriched the experience. We shall return! read more

The first thing you notice is the oven. Not the tables. Not the bar. The oven. It sits in the back of the room glowing like a furnace that keeps the whole place alive. Every few minutes the door opens and a wave of heat rolls out. The pozza maker leans in with a peel. Wood crackles. A pizza disappears into the fire. The room organizes itself around that rhythm. Figidini is small. Smaller than you expect when you first walk in. Wood everywhere. Low light over the bar and the tables. The kitchen sits in full view just a few feet from where people are eating. You can see the entire operation. Flour on the prep counter. Dough stretching across the board. The oven door opening and closing again and again. It feels less like a dining room and more like you've been invited to sit just outside the kitchen while the night moves around you. Cozy is the obvious word. Quiet is not. The room is loud. Very loud. Concrete floors. Tile. Wood. Glass. Hard surfaces everywhere. Sound doesn't fade here. It ricochets. Conversations bounce off the walls and stack on top of each other until the whole room hums. Then the bartender starts shaking a drink. The metal tins crash together like someone using a jackhammer. The sound cuts straight through the room. At certain points you find yourself leaning across the table and yelling just to finish a sentence. Service moves through that noise with quiet efficiency. Orders taken. Food delivered. Plates cleared. No hovering. No conversation. Just the steady rhythm of the room continuing around you. Then the pizza arrives. Whole. No slices. Just a pair of scissors sitting on the plate beside it. The crust rises high around the edge, blistered and spotted from the oven. Puffy and inflated like bread that caught the perfect blast of heat. When you press into it the rim compresses easily. Chewy on the outside. Tender inside. The center stays thin and soft the way a wood fired pie should. This one is their tomato pie, which means the tomatoes carry the whole flavor of the pizza. No blanket of mozzarella covering things up. Just crushed tomatoes spread across the dough with sliced garlic, herbs, olive oil, and a little grated cheese working quietly underneath. The sauce is bright and fresh. Slightly sweet. Tomato first, then garlic, then olive oil settling into everything. Each slice bends when you lift it. The rim holds. Exactly what you expect from a fast bake in a very hot oven. Simple food. Done carefully. And done well. There is also a slightly precious edge to everything and that might not sit well with everyone. Figidini is the kind of place where a five dollar eight ounce bottle of Coke arrives at the table next to a tiny glass holding two oversized ice cubes that already take up most of the space before the soda even touches it. Small room. Warm light. Loud energy. A little over curated. But the oven keeps burning. Another pie goes in. Another one comes out. And once the scissors hit the table and the first slice makes it to your plate, most of the rest of it fades into the background. Because at the center of all that noise and dim light and careful presentation is a simple idea executed very well. A wood fired tomato pie that tastes exactly the way it should. read more

Best pizza ever. Crafted with so much care. My go to is the tartufo. Limited hours of service so be sure to know when is the last seating. Pizzas take a while to be cooked but well worth the wait. read more

Came to figidini with a friend and we enjoyed our meal! The ambiance was nice, though a bit dark. We both got red wine and started off with an appetizer that was a special. It was some sourdough bread with cheese and some tomatoes on top. It was a good start to our meal, though it may have been better to have something more veggie based. The menu was smaller than I expected! We got the prosciutto pizza, which ended up being enough for us to share. It was pretty good, with the right amount of cheese and crunchy crust! It did take quite a long time for the pizza to come out though. read more

As people who are always chasing the best pizza around, figidini is our favorite Neapolitan pizza in the states. It even rivals the best we had in Naples. No hyperbole. How it's still under the radar is beyond me. Perfect high-hydration dough, quality ingredients, and a small, but well-curated and executed menu. The specials are almost always worth checking out, too, as well as the homemade gelato and cheesecakes that are always changing for dessert. Whenever I'm in Providence, it's one of the spots I can't miss. From the friendly staff to the excellent food and cozy atmosphere, it's just a place I always love to visit. It's smart to call for reservations just to be safe because it can get busy if there's a show or event nearby. Also beware that your safest bet is to go earlier so they don't run out of dough. I'd hate for anyone to miss out on some of the best pizza around. Enjoy! read more

Came here with some girlfriends on a Thursday night and had so much fun! It's a small little restaurant, but very personable wait staff and delicious food. Food is a bit pricy for the size, but still very enjoyable and would come back anytime!! Charred kale salad: SO GOOD. unexpectedly good. Great smoky flavor, also with great mix of textures Pizzas: thin crust, but very well done! crust is doughy and charr-y at the same time :) Nduja pizza: so good. white pizza. pairs very well with the hot honey! Burrata pizza: red, saucy, also pairs well with the hot honey! Drinks: I got the pride of providence which was delicious! fruit and also unexpectedly strong. I would definitely get this again if you want a good time Parking: street parking only, which can be a bit of a hassle in the downtown area :( would recommend ubering if you want to drink because parking can be annoying. read more

WOW! Great pizza, great staff, great ambiance. I've been wanting to try Figidini for over a year now and I'm glad I did. You can see the kitchen and the pizza oven from dining room. It was fun to watch them make the pizza. It doesn't take long at all from start to finish. We tried the Burrata, Margherita, and mushroom pizza. Everyone of them was fantastic, but our favorite one was the Burrata...we had to order another one. The red sauce is simple, but so good. The crust is light and fluffy on the outside. It was floppy on the inside, but that is to be expected with such a light wood fired pizza with Burrata in the center...no complaints here! Cut it with the scissors and enjoy the great flavors that shouldn't be disturbed with any other ingredients. I was very tempted to get other toppings added to my pizza, but I trusted the menu and I was very glad that I did. We were a party of 6 that included 3 kids that are usually picky eaters and they want to go back for more. read more

I've passed by figidini so many times during the day when I walk on Washington Street in downtown Providence, but I have never been since they open only for dinner at 5:00pm. I finally had the chance to visit figidini on a Wednesday evening. My husband and I were the first ones inside and were informed by the hostess/waitress named Kara that all the tables are reserved, but we can sit at the bar. Inside, along the left wall, are cozy tables that seat about 14 people and on the right is a long bar that seats about 10 people. Outside, there is a petite patio with heat lamps that seats eight. On the wall, there are three shadows boxes featuring birch wood. Kara informed us of the food and drink specials on the chalkboard on the back wall adjacent to the restroom. I ordered the Hudson North Caramel Apple Cider. This was a really good apple cider. I must get more! We started with the grill special which was grilled oyster mushrooms and polenta. This was delicious and warmed us right up. We didn't leave anything on the plate. The flavor profile of mushrooms is unique since they are cooked on a wood fire grill and the taste was rich and robust. We also ordered an arugula pizza and added cremini mushrooms. They gave us scissors to cut it which was unique and fun since usually pizzas are usually already precut. The arugula pizza has mozzarella, pecorino, and 24 month aged prosciutto di parma. It was so flavorful and delectable. I loved the fluffiness, thinness, and crispiness of the crust. The wood fire oven gives the pizza a smoky taste and is slightly charred. For dessert, we shared a slice of maple walnut cheesecake. This was such a sweet way to end the meal. I absolutely enjoyed everything about figidini from the decor of the plates and the inside to the service to all the food. Each of the plates had a fun design. Everything is cooked in a wood fire oven and a wood fire grill. All the local seafood, quality meats and local poultry is sourced from local farms. read more

This was a cute spot walking distance from our hotel. There is also a parking garage right above the restaurant which is convenient. It was open later which was nice for a quick bite and a cocktail. Super cute date night spot! The service and quick and informative. I told the waiter I liked sweet cocktails and he consulted with the bartender and helped me pick a tasty drink. The pizzas are smaller but I was satisfied with splitting mine. read more

We lucked out big time. We didn't have a reservation but they happened to have a last minute cancellation. I liked what our waitress said when I said, "lucky us." She said, "lucky for both of us!" For a small and popular restaurant, she's very right but I appreciate that she acknowledged that it was fortuitous for both of us. From service to the food and ambiance, it was a great experience. We started with the artichoke with pesto sauce, and it was delicious. We each had three personal pizzas but between the three of us, we could have probably shared two. I ordered the traditional Marguerita, my daughter ordered the spicy sausage and the hubby ordered the special pizza or the day which had mortadella, and an herb I can't remember. All were delicious Mine was slightly underdone and a little wet but I think it might've been my fault because I asked our waitress to let the chef know "not too well done. The last time I had wood fired pizza, it was burnt. Not here, but at another place near me. I had to send it back and it was very disappointing. Meanwhile, I should've just let the chef make it the way he always makes it. I think it would not have been so wet and mushy. I didn't send it back because I did feel it was my fault for asking for it "not too well done". Overall, the food was very very good. I love the dough and the texture I would absolutely recommend, and I would definitely come back again. Five stars all the way. read more

Very nice, very small restaurant downtown. One side is a long bar, the other side has a few tables against the wall. The back is an open kitchen with large pizza oven. We made reservations and although we arrived early and only a few guests were in house, it quickly got busy. Staff seem to be a bartender, a waitress and a cook. From what we witnessed, it seems they have a lot of 'regulars' here. If you are in town for a show or sporting event, be sure to make a reservation. The menu is small: salads, sides, pizza, small plates to share. The quality is very good and reflected in the pricing. We ordered some green olives to start and I must say these olives are excellent. The have small, edible flowers over the top which makes a pretty presentation. Their pizza is served in one piece and you are given pizza shears - scissors - to cut the pie however you like. The outer crust on this pizza is large and pillow-y. The crushed san marzano tomatoes are light, There is just the right amount of cheese on there. The bottom crust is quite thin, and the tomato made it wet through making it difficult to cut and hold to eat. The staff were all very nice, however with all the people they knew in house, we didn't get much attention. No napkin or flat ware were offered and as the staff were busy with other guests I pulled some off a neighboring table that was empty. If you want a side of grated cheese to sprinkle over your pizza that's a 'side' order, so just know that. I very much appreciate the very good quality of the food here. The interior is nicely decorated, clean and not too loud. I like trying new restaurants and love wood fired pizza so I'm glad I tried this spot out. I would come back if invited and try other items on their menu. read more

Such a fun experience! I drove down to RI for a wedding and decided to do some exploring with my family the day before the big day. We wandered around until our stomach's screeched with hunger and I did something that is extremely out of the norm. Without checking Yelp we got ourselves a table a figidini because of what we saw passing by. Customers ordering a large pizza with a pair of large scissors to boot. Yes that's how they serve their pizza! Not only did we get food here, but a small fun experience. figidini is 10/10 - food - delicious, ordered two pizza's one plain Margherita and a Margherita with Mushrooms both were crowd pleasers. I loved the big fluffy crusts on these pizza's. - very friendly staff read more

My pizza was ready in less than 10 minutes. Hot, cheesy, and full of flavor. Perfect for a quick lunch.

Been here many times and I continue to recommend it to all my friends. Cocktails are great, to the point that I would go just for a drink. Pizza is tasty, but if you don't like your slice of pizza flopping over, might not be for you. Grilled appetizers are also really good. I think they occasionally switch these up maybe with some staples that don't change, but so far I've tried the boneless chicken thigh, broccoli rabe, artichokes, brussel sprouts, and confit potatoes. Could do without the potatoes but the rest I would order again! read more

First of all, we've been coming here for four years and it's awesome. From the food (the artichoke app slays!) to the service with bartenders like Mike, you're guaranteed a great night.

We were staying in Providence for one night, near the downtown area and Brown. I was craving pizza and found figidini on yelp. We came there at 5 for dinner on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. We were brought waters and copies of the menu right away. Staff were in masks, and asked about whether we were feeling well before we sat down. At the time we ate there, they had reduced capacity for indoor dining, and only two tables for outdoor dining. We ordered the burrata pizza, and the tartufo calzone. I thought the burrata pizza was amazing, as good or even better than some NYC pizza places. The dough was perfectly cooked and browned in all the right places, and the burrata went really well with it. The tartufo calzone had truffles and mushrooms inside, along with pecorino cheese. It sounded decadent and delicious at the time of ordering, and it was great as well, but the amount of toppings made it a bit heavy to eat, and a lot of the interior fell out as we were eating it. It wasn't bad, but I would go with their regular, more simple calzone next time. Service was really friendly, and we were spaced out a good distance from the other table. Would highly recommend this place for pizza if you're in Providence. read more

This pizza is extraordinary and has won an award in my book. The flavor of the pizza is an unique experience and is mainly due to its soft and elastic texture. This place perfected the charred taste without being burnt or brittle. Because the dough is so light the type of pizza that you order will determine how you eat it. In my experience, I ate the Marinara with my hands and Margarita di Bufala with a knife and fork. The Margarita di Bufala was messy but tasted delicious. I recommend ordering from the Wood Fire Grill section on the menu, especially if you enjoy seafood. The Baby Octopus dish was remarkable. The one negative remark on my experience is the unpredictable food service. The restaurant is extremely small and only has one oven! My first pizza was delivered before the appetizer and a couple sitting next to us got their pizza a half hour after we got our pizza even though they were seated before us. read more

I came here with a friend in pursuit of a quick meal before we headed back on the road. We found this little restaurant tucked in between shops on Washington Street. We were given menus and seated immediately. Our waiter took the time to go over menu options and the dessert options, which we appreciated greatly. We both settled on the Magherita pizza which came straight from the oven. Let me tell you guys, this pizza was the answer to my prayers. You could taste the high quality with every bite. The crust was the perfect balance between crunchy and soft. This was hands down some of the best pizza I've tasted in a long time. Our lunch experience was going so well that we decided to stay for the dessert special, which was the deconstructed honey crisp. I applaud the chef for the innovative idea, but unfortunately the flavors and textures did not meld together as expected. The apple didn't wasn't all that sweet and the other parts of the honeycrisp tasted a little hard and stale. Nevertheless the service, atmosphere, and pizza were all great and I'll definitely be back! read more

Popped in here last week and sat at the bar for a bite. It was our first time here, though I'd been hearing great things about Figidini for a while. The first things that struck me about the menu were the prices. Pricey. At first, I wondered if the midsection of the menu were entrees, but the bartender pointed out they're "small plates." I didn't feel like pizza so we ordered 2 small plates. Bone marrow - My husband raved, "Innovative and delicious." I didn't try it, but it looked beautiful. Sirloin tip - I raved, "So good, I'm not sharing." I felt it was a decent portion and I every bite was amazing. So, then, was it worth the steep price? Yes and no. Although the food was amazing, there's a disconnect when you take in the service (just "okay," most seemed preoccupied on a slowish night), and the overall setting. (The environment feels a little too flat & casual - the dim lights suggest a date spot, but the noise level, the open kitchen, and the cold breeze when the door opens, prevent it from being truly cozy, which is what I "think" Fig's is going for). Still, yummy. read more

I was in Providence for a conference and found this place close to my hotel. I love it! The only reason I won't give it five stars is because it was my first visit. I had a craft cocktail- the Pride of Providence- that was earthy and amazing! You know a place is fancy when you can't pronounce half the ingredients. I had the Arugula pizza, which had prosciutto- Sold! Delicious! My friend had their Margherita pizza which was also very good. My other friend had the risotto which she said was freaking amazing.

Cute place right near a hotel I was staying at in Providence, it's small in side but doesn't feel cramped. The staff were knowledgeable and went above an beyond to answer questions about the restaurant and other things in the area. We ended up just grabbing drinks at the bar because we had different plans for dinner. I had the sangria which was the perfect balance, not to sweet as some places tend to make. We did see the food coming out around us that looked and smelled so good. We will definitely return and next time grab a bite to eat as well. read more

Average food, small portions, expensive, dull pizza scissors. Two stars for service and speed. Pass over this one.

Great service, nice decor, nice drinks selection. We only had appetizers and they were OK, not great. Eggplant special was so so, as the eggplant was undercooked. My biggest gripe was with the music. Too loud to hold a conversation across the table and inappropriate for a restaurant. read more
