    Margherita
    Talitha G.

    I ordered a Margherita pizza based on photos I saw online. I added pepperoni to half of it. I will say it's a pretty good pizza. Thin crust, good red sauce, fresh ingredients. I appreciate that it was not sloppy. It is definitely one of the better pizza places I have tried locally. Now I did order delivery so the unfortunate part was it wasn't hot or even warm. But with that being said could have been the driver. I would def order from. Here again as far as pizza goes.

    Francesco's Pizzeria was a stop for the 6th Annual Search for the Best Scoop Shop RI with RI Food Fights. When we saw this stop, we were very excited that a pizzeria was also serving ice cream. There were a few flavors to select. I chose a scoop of the tiramisu gelato. It was very refreshing and light. Since we walked in, the pizza smelled so good and purchased 2 slices. They have earned awards such as the most instagrammable pizza, most delicious pizza, and most creative pizza. I saw they have a General Tso's pizza which has General Tso Chicken, Roasted Red Peppers, Scallions. Thought that was unique. I had their Classic Pepperoni-Red Pizza, Pepperoni and my husband ordered a slide of the Buffalo Chicken-Shredded Buffalo Chicken, Scallions, Mozzarella. The crust was crunchy and crisp and it wasn't too saucy. This was delicious. There is street parking available. In front of the pizzeria there are a few seats with a middle stand for sharing. These were so cool and efficient. Service was great. It was just 1 woman managing the phones, customers inside, and managing the orders. I would definitely come back for their slice & ice deal which is 99¢ slice of cheese pizza with your purchase of any ice cream.

    This place is terrible. I went here based on great reviews from critics and Barstool.. what a mistake. The pizza was undercooked and the extra toppings added was minimal.. we're talking a large pepperoni pizza with 6 pepperoni. That's just cheap/lazy and irritating. The real negative here was the woman working the register on Saturday 4/27 at 4:30. Major attitude for no reason and told me to hurry up and pay so she could take her break. Are you serious? Who talks to people like that. For all potential patrons considering this place.. hard pass

    Forget 7.9, this place is 10.0. Pizza was outstanding, prices reasonable, service fast and friendly. Location convenient. Couldn't ask for more. Stephanie from behind the counter was even so nice as to track down an extra shirt from the recent celebrity appearance. I was up in Providence for a basketball game and this detour made my day.

    A decent pizza. Cooked well, a nice sweet sauce and a good cheese blend. Street parking only, and a cramped interior. People were friendly and curious. One knock, would be the codes on the website for discounts not working.

    If you came here thinking about getting the General Tso's Pizza... DO IT This was hands down one of the best pizzas me and my girl have had in a while. We ordered about 30 minutes before closing and it was one of the best decisions we made. No flop on the pie, beautiful under carriage and the toppings were solid. Not normally a fan of a white pizza but the general tso's sauce took this pie to the next level. Will we order again? Absolutely. We've tried a lot of pizza spots in Providence and have been somewhat disappointed but not here. Absolutely ranked on my top 5 pizzerias.

    I ordered a four layer cake, but I guess they were out so they sent me this little tiny sliver of a torte and charge me the same price. when I say it was a slivwe got it was about six bites.

    After seeing maven's delicatessen on Instagram, I had to come here…read more It was a blistering hot day out, and I walked into a pleasantly air-conditioned establishment. Loved the atmosphere and the place was spotless. One of the waitresses seated us asked us if we'd like a drink and pickles with coleslaw. We said yes pickles were great. Coleslaw was very vinegary. Was not a fan of that. We both ordered half a pound of pastrami sandwiches with Swiss cheese and mustard. The pastrami was very lean and sliced very thin and that was good. But I found the pastrami lacking in flavor. I think I was expecting pastrami like they sell at Katz's deli or the old now closed Carnegie's in New York. Would come back to try other things.

    I really wanted to like Maven's. With all the hype surrounding this place, I expected something…read morespecial. After several visits, though, I'd describe it with one word: meh. To be clear, the food isn't bad. It's perfectly edible. The problem is that it's also remarkably average, especially considering the prices they're charging. Nothing I've ordered has made me think, "I can't wait to come back for that." It's just...fine. We actually visited during opening weekend, and it was a bit of a mess. They ran out of pastrami, which is a pretty big problem for a deli that was generating so much excitement. I gave them the benefit of the doubt because opening weekends can be chaotic. Since then, we've been back several times hoping things would improve, but the experience has been largely the same. The biggest issue, aside from the food being average, is the service. It's consistently slow. I can understand waiting when a restaurant is packed, but we've experienced long waits even when there were very few customers inside. It feels like everything moves at half speed, and that's been true on multiple visits. I also think they're trying a little too hard to be Katz's Delicatessen. That's an incredibly high bar, and instead of trying to recreate that experience, I'd rather see them focus on becoming the best version of themselves. Right now, it feels like the ambition exceeds the execution. The one thing I will gladly compliment is the bagels. They've been excellent every time we've ordered them, and honestly, they're probably the strongest item on the menu. I do think there's plenty of room for improvement, which is why I'm giving two stars instead of one. There's clearly potential here, and I genuinely hope they find their footing because I'd love to have another great deli in the area. We'll probably give them another chance down the road, and I hope I can come back and update this review with a much more positive experience.

    I love a savory pastry and was excited to see a chorizo and pepper and potato and havarti galette…read morebehind the bakery showcase, so I picked up both. I warmed them up at home and when I took a bite into the buttery flaky crust, I was hooked. These were so delicious I instantly regretted not getting more things to try. I also had a hot chai with homemade vanilla syrup which was fragrant, sweet, and spicy at the same time - it was so good. The person behind the counter let me know that their menu changes weekly based on the what ingredients are in season and available. Another customer told me that everything is good and that I couldn't go wrong with whatever I selected. The items they sell are on the pricy side but absolutely worth it because of the quality ingredients they use in their baked goods. One bite and you can taste the difference. I'm looking forward to returning.

I got a strawberry strudel today with fresh strawberries, soft-flaky center and what tasted like buttercream. I would highly recommend their pastry, but the coffee did fall flat to me. I've only had it once and it didn't do anything for me. We have so many good coffee shops in the neighborhood and never thought of coming back here for coffee. I will try their coffee again since it's been a while. The store is rather small, but it isn't intended on a dine in experience. I do like that you can see the chef in the back along with his partner in the front of the store. They are very nice people and super friendly.

    Me and a couple others came here for dinner on a Sunday. There was a decent sized parking lot right…read morein front of the building for about 5-6 cars. Inside, there were about 10-12 tables. Since we were 5 people, we joined a couple tables to have more space. We went to the counter to grab a menu and decide on what we'd get. To have a diverse plate, we decided on pasta and meatballs, a large grilled chicken sandwich with everything + mayo, and a large pizza 3-way combo - onions and pepper, pepperoni, and sausage. They don't have 2 L bottles of soda, but they were nice enough to let us know we could go buy one across the street at the gas station (downside: they are not refrigerated). They also asked if we wanted everything at the same time or whenever they're done; It was a kind gesture. After about 20-30 minutes, the food came out. It was hot, fresh, and overall, everything was delicious. The pasta and meatballs came out in an aluminum container, about 5 in x 8 in. There was a good amount of red sauce and 4 big meatballs. The meatballs were really delicious, with the red sauce being average, and the pasta cooked a bit longer than al dente. I usually prefer white sauces, but red is the only option they have. They couldn't cut to the sandwich is 5 pieces since it would create a mess, so the best they could do is 4. The sandwich was toasted perfectly. It had a good amount of chicken. The toppings were fresh. Although it was a simple sandwich, I was very pleased with the taste. The pizza was good. My only complaint would be that I wish it were cooked a bit more for a crispier experience - in hindsight, I should've specified this when ordering. This also goes for the veggies where I wish they were grilled to have a slight char before putting it on the pizza or allowing them to get crispy. However, I think flavor wise, it was good. The sausage was really delicious and the cheese, although it didn't have a pull, it was the right amount and tasty. We paid about $50 for this food, which was good considering the 5 of us ate and left satisfied.

We were there for the wings anyway, as RI Food Fights brought us here. We got the Maple Bacon Bourbon wings, a side of fries and the giant pretzel The wings were good! Not super crispy but the glaze coated them well and clung to the wing nicely. The menu said they were smoked before they were fried, but outside of the generous amount of bacon bits that were part of the glaze, I didn't get much smoke in the meat itself. Otherwise, we liked the glaze. The fries are the more expensive, clear coat kind that hold their crisp longer, which I appreciate. They were great plain or with ketchup. The pretzel was warm and perfectly soft. The beer cheese that came with it was excellent. And the blue cheese dressing was as well that we got with the wings. It had a great blue cheese flavor without giant chunks of cheese. They also offer pizza and a number of handhelds that all looked interesting, so I'll have to come back soon when the full kitchen is open!
