I ended up throwing it in the trash. As you can see from my photos, the pizza and cheesy bread are both dry and burnt and not burnt in a fun coal fire or wood fired way... it's brick oven burnt. Also, not much cheese on the CHEESY bread or four CHEESE pizza. The chicken parm sandwich was the only redeemable part of my order and even that was below average. Lacking sauce and flavor. Even the staff seemed unenthusiastic and it showed in their product. There's seating inside but good luck finding parking in down city Providence. What a waste of fifty dollars.

You can tell that whoever makes these pizzas - from the dough to the sauce - has a nearly fanatical attention to detail, much like all prolific artists.

And make sure you get a choc chip cookie- TWO in fact, they put the flaky salt on top, truly next level execution. Those I haven't eaten yet and will share photos. Fantastic fantastic vibes all around. My favorite place for indulgence. AG&HP has achieved a food:ambiance synergy that is hard to find. The interior is cool & welcoming af and so are the staff.

It's in a little center with what looks like RI owned businesses which I can appreciate. I have been by here multiple times and always wanted to stop so this was great timing. On entering g it is a small space but they do have dine in or take out and also a little outside area. The gentleman at the counter was very personable. He took my order said 25 minutes so I went outside to check out the other small businesses. There is plenty of parking. The menu is condensed but yeah offers a bit of good, drinks, deserts. I ordered a Detroit style pizza with pepperoni and a root beer. I will say it was a bit pricey but very understandable for the quality which honestly exceeded my expectation. That pizza tasted fresh with all freshly made ingredients from the crust to the sauce to the pepperoni. The best pizza I have probably ever had. The root beer was ok I still prefer a IBC but still tasty. I think I might be hooked to this place and I agree with the great reviews on this platform

Last night I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Anna's Vesuviano Tonno dinner…read more This dinner was conceived when Chef Anthony got some beautiful tuna from American Seafood, based out of Stonington, CT. It was a menu created around the relationship between bread and seafood in southern Italy. As a culinarian by trade, I love dinners like this. I love seeing how a chef's mind works, the flavor pairings, and going on that journey with them. Last night was a wonderful example of that. I attended the dinner solo, my usual cohorts at a different dinner taking place in the city. But I don't mind solo dining. The best part about being solo last night? I was sat at the bar front and center, a veritable chef's table without the high price tag I paid the extra for wine pairings, and they were generous with those pours all night. Our glasses were filled before every course. The hospitality was warm, the service team made everyone feel at home. The interior had a retro feel, with pressed tin ceilings, counter seating along the windows and a tall bar by the kitchen. The first course was a tuna croquette, a smoked yellow fish canola (cone) and tuna crudo with pickled yellow tomatoes. The croquette crispy outside, and so, so creamy inside. The yellowfish cone had lovely textures, the pistachio crunch coming through nicely. The crudo was delicate and tender, the picked tomato bringing the perfect level of acidity. The second course was a Caserta style pizza. No, not the icon on Federal Hill. But pizza montanara - one that is fried and then baked, popularized in the Campania region of Italy and in the town of (you guessed it) Caserta. The first thing you taste is the Sicilain oregano. The crust is crispy but still had give. No flop if that matters. The tomatoes blanched and precisely peeled so they gave easily when you bit into it. The olives and capers paired with the tuna was like an Italian Nicoise pizza. A great eating experience. Next was the Tuna Fattoush, the salad course. The tomatoes tasted like peak summer when I bit into them. Tang from the lime, the mint almost floral with the sumac, the vinegar soaked bread buttery, tart. The tuna coming in the back end bringing the dish together in a magical way. The Mrs Tuna pizza intrigued me. I didn't know what to expect when I saw black dough. But what I experienced was wonderful. Soft dark bread with creamy stracciatella, and the tuna tartar on top sang against the creamy base. You can taste the burnt notes from the mayo but only in the background. It accented the dish, deepening the flavors in an unexpected way. Bufala mozz course was bright, tangy, salty. I didn't think I'd describe mozzarella as bright but here we are. It was a burst of flavor as soon as it hit my tongue. My taste buds lit up immediately. It was made by Lucas at Mozz in Newport. Go find some and try it immediately. Vesuvius pizza. Wow. I had only experienced Anna's through their various seafood pizza specials. This was my first time trying a classic. San Marzano tomatoes from Mt Vesuvius. 48 month aged Parmesan, the same beautiful fresh mozzarella we had in the previous course, basil and a hefty drizzle of high quality Palestinian olive oil. If you ever wondered what the most perfect Margherita was like, this is it. It's like it was cut out of a textbook. The crust was delicious as always, it's sourdough. The cook was crisp and even with the edge still soft and chewy. And finally dessert. Lemon and basil make sense on savory but I realized how special it can be in sweet. The sumac adding floral notes to the smooth custard and the cool basil gel, a study in flavor conception. Every time I go to Anna's, I continue to be impressed by Chef Anthony and his culinary genius. I know to most, this menu would seem odd or outside of the box for pizza. To a certain extent, that is true. But if you are brave enough to take a leap of faith, I have found I'm often rewarded with the most scrumptious landing. And to say I was rewarded last night for my leap would be an understatement. Thank you again for an incredible dinner, Chef Anthony, Michelle and the team at Anna's Vesuviano.

We got the meatball and potato pizzas and thought both were delicious. They tasted very fresh and the quantity of toppings didn't weigh the pizza down, it just provided flavor.

There are easier ways to sell pizza than opening a place like Napolitano's Lounge & Brooklyn…read morePizzeria Smithfield. Federal Hill gives you an audience. People are already there looking for a place to eat. Walk down Atwells Avenue long enough and they'll eventually find your door. Smithfield asks something different. It's a different beast. Out here you're competing with strip malls, chain restaurants, and parking lots. Nobody accidentally ends up here. You have to give people a reason to hit the turn signal, pull in, and stay awhile. Jacob Kamborian wasn't interested in building just another pizza shop. So he built a room. Not a pizza shop with a couple of televisions bolted to the wall. A real room. The stage isn't tucked into a corner. It's the centerpiece. Microphones are already set. The drum kit is waiting. Across the room, a long wooden bar stretches almost the entire length of the space, wrapped in old wine and liquor crates that look like they were collected over years instead of ordered from a catalog. Guitars hang on the walls. Music posters fill the gaps. An American flag watches over the dining room. Warm lighting softens the reclaimed wood and the whole place feels comfortable the moment you walk in. It doesn't feel designed. It feels lived in. Come for pizza. Stay for the night. That's a big gamble. When you ask people to spend three hours in your restaurant instead of thirty minutes, the food has to back up that invitation. We ordered two very different pizzas: an 18-inch Brooklyn round, half pepperoni, and a personal Sicilian with extra sauce. The Sicilian got my attention immediately. Before I took a second bite, I flipped the slice over. The bottom told me everything I needed to know. Evenly browned. Crisp from edge to edge. No pale spots. No soft center. No collapse. The middle stayed light and chewy without becoming heavy. Every bite had just enough push back before giving way. The sauce was savory, herby, and tasted fresh. Asking for extra sauce wasn't about rescuing the pizza. It was simply getting more of one of its best qualities. The Brooklyn pie told a different story. The back crust had more body than I expected. More chew. More bread. Plenty of cheese. Plenty of pepperoni. Plenty of oil. By the third slice, the pepperoni cups had turned into little pools of smoky, spicy oil. That's a Brooklyn slice. If you know, you know. What impressed me most was that the craftsmanship never disappeared beneath all that richness. The bake stayed remarkably even across the entire pie. The rim was consistent from beginning to end. Every slice folded cleanly, held together, and ate the way it should. Consistency like that doesn't happen by accident. Neither does a room like this. Jacob Kamborian has been making pizza in Rhode Island for fifteen years. The move from Federal Hill to Smithfield wasn't a change of address. It was a chance to build the place he'd been working toward all along. A place where the pizza, the stage, the bar, the music, and the people all belong together. After spending a couple of hours there, I understand the bet. He hit the jackpot.

This was our third visit, and while the pizza is good, something always seems to go wrong here…read more Despite the restaurant being quiet with plenty of seating, service was pretty slow. We ordered garlic knots and two pizzas--a Margherita and a Coney Island. Our server even repeated the order back and specifically asked if we had any special requests, such as. getting the pizzas cooked to well done. I requested "medium," yet both pizzas arrived overcooked and marked "well done" on the bill. The garlic knots were the highlight--perfectly cooked and loaded with garlic. However, the pizzas were a letdown. The Margherita didn't have nearly enough fresh mozzarella, and the other pizza had the wrong toppings. When we received the bill, we saw that they served us a "Cyclone" instead of the Coney Island we ordered. We were hungry and had already waited so long that we didn't bother sending them back. At $28 per pizza, the experience at Napolitano's isn't worth it. Serving premium-priced food on paper plates feels cheap, and while we smelled fresh popcorn from the machine on the bar, none was ever offered. The live band was a nice touch, but between the slow service and consistent errors, I don't see myself returning.

Disclaimer: I love Papa Gino's pizza. Not ironically. Not as some guilty pleasure I feel compelled…read moreto defend. I genuinely love it. The hand feel, the specific chew, the way the crust gives under your fingers. I could identify it just by touch, blindfolded in a lineup of a hundred pies. It's wired into me from countless visits over the last 30+ years, born in the taste of being young and hungry and not overthinking anything about quality, just taste and filling you up. So when I tell you that Pizzeria Romana, located right by the Lincoln Mall, is just like Papa Gino's dressed up for the prom, understand that I mean it as the highest compliment. This was a new stop this year on the Lord of the Pies circuit. We walked in with zero expectations. The space is warm without trying too hard. Black and white checkered tablecloths. Italian countryside murals on the walls. The staff greets you like they're happy you showed up, which is rarer than it should be. The cheese pizza is where this place reveals itself. Same Papa Gino's geometry: thin, sturdy, dependable. But elevated with ingredients that actually taste fantastic. The cheese blend brings provolone into the conversation, adding sharp, tangy notes that cut through the richness. Everything works. The crust has that holds its crispness on top, great chew in the middle, and just enough cornmeal texture underneath to remind you this thing came from a real oven. The pepperoni, though. It overwhelms. Too much salt, too much grease, too much of everything. It doesn't play well with others. It storms onto the plate and dominates, drowning out all those subtle cheese notes that made the plain slice sing. Stick with the cheese. Let the fundamentals do their work. What Pizzeria Romana understands, what Papa Gino's always understood, ipizza doesn't need to reinvent itself to be good. It needs good ingredients, technique, and the restraint not to screw it up with unnecessary flourishes. This is a nice neighborhood spot where you can bring a date or grab a pie with friends without pretension. The best thing a pizza can do is remind you why you fell in love with it in the first place. Pizzeria Romana does exactly that. Just hold the pepperoni.
