The first thing you notice at Lucky's is the noise. Country and classic rock pour out of the speakers. Pool balls crack. Laughter runs into arguments about nothing that matters. The room is full of people whose hands do real work, now wrapped around pool cues and plastic cups while they forget about roofs, engines, kids, and bills. We stayed for about an hour. Long enough to see this is a regulars' bar, the kind where people walk in already laughing at a joke that started three nights ago. Alli clocked us as soon as we came through the door. "You're Tim, right?" She then began quoting the parts that she liked from last year's RI FOOD FIGHTS Lord of the Pies review back to me. Sometimes word for word. Out of the blue. Nodding as she went. She agreed with it. Lucky's knew they'd landed near the bottom of my list. No excuse making. Just a little hope, I think, that this year would read differently. I wanted that too. They know exactly what they are at Lucky's: a bar that feeds and waters the people who live nearby. The neighborhood's living room. The staff and the neighbors have always been the stars. The pizza finally caught up. They make their own dough on site every day. As far as I can tell, that's how they've always done it. What changed is how it all comes together on the pan. The pie that landed in front of us looked like exactly what it is. A really solid Greek pizza. Crust on the thicker side, with a soft chew and a clean crunch at the back end. Sauce with an herby backbone. A little sweet but with enough acid to keep it from feeling heavy. Cheese that melts into browned, salty pockets you hunt down at the edge of the crust. Greek pies don't try to innovate anything. They just have to be honest. This one is. Last year, Lucky's was dead last on Lord of the Pies rankings. This year it climbed to dead center. Twenty one out of forty. That doesn't sound heroic until you remember nothing else about the place changed. Same bar. Same crowd. Same noise. Same staff. The only difference was how good the pizza is now. I have no confusion that Lucky's is a bar that serves pizza, not a pizzeria that happens to have a bar. The difference now is that THIS pizza can stand right there with all of the other places that put "pizza" in big letters on the sign. But how many of those places are this fun or friendly? Alli told us maybe a hundred people had come through with coupons. She laughed and said you can usually spot the "pizza people" as soon as they walk in. She wasn't wrong. We were those people. What mattered was how her regulars handled it. Our friends ended up spending most of the time talking to the guys at the pool table. People at the bar asked where we were from, how many places we'd hit, how this pie stacked up. At no point did we feel like outsiders passing through to collect another stamp. If you live nearby, you already know what Lucky's is. If you're cutting across Foster on your way to a casino or just trying to get lost for a bit, you can walk in, grab a pie, and sit at a bar that doesn't treat you like you're intruding on an inside joke. The pizza moved from forgettable to solid. The time we spent there felt like a little redemption story. And everyone in the building had a hand in writing it. And who doesn't love a nice, hot pizza or a happy ending? read more

They advertised an adult Easter egg hunt on Facebook. It appeared in my feed and immediately tapped into my competitive side and love of winning things. Also a win for my husband, the egg hunt is at a bar! Cost of admission: a canned good. Marked in the calendar! We pull up about 50 minutes prior to the egg hunt and only 5 cars in the parking lot, one hood up and being jumped. We questioned if an egg hunt was happening? We left the canned goods in the car and walked in. Wasn't expecting much but this place has small bar charm! A bar that seats around 15 people. Wood paneling, pool tables, from the looks of it a highly used fireplace and a little pizza place. Just enough. Still didn't look like an egg hunt was going to be happening but I noticed a table in the back corner that looked like raffle prizes. We sat, started with drinks. Ordered food. Small pepperoni pizza, fries and buffalo wings. Everything was ok. The wings could have been better (small) but the other food and kind service made up for it. The locals were energetic and animated. Other people started piling in for the egg hunt. Think some with real Easter baskets. Some with plastic bags (like me!) Some had chia seeds to donate and others had donettes. Just an FYI- if you plan on going next year make sure to support the bar as well. The backyard has a fenced in area but the egg hunt was inside that area and on both sides leading to the back woods. When we left at least an hour after the egg hunt had begun, there were still 7 eggs and prizes still hidden. What did we win? 1 six pack of Whalers seltzer, 1 six pack of Whalers beer, one pint glass, one 2nd annual Lucky's sticker (it was legit) and candy. Now what did we also leave with? Someone leaving passed us a gold token for a free beer from the bar and the bartender gave us a jumbo egg filled with nips. I declare I love Lucky's Adult Easter egg Hunt I had a lot of fun. This place has won me over. read more

A solid, yet unspectaculat pie. Nothing to distinguish it to make want to recommend it or have it again, yet it still is satisfying. One of those places, where if I was in the area, I may pop in, but not a place I'd ever seek out again or make a special trip for. read more

Great local "dive" bar. Cheap drink, good pizza, and the bartender was attentive and helpful. I would definitely go back. They made me as an outsider feel welcome. read more

Lucky's Bar & Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Foster, Rhode Island

I decided to stop here today after having a doctor's appointment across the street. The bartender, Ally, decided to randomly cut me off while all of the male patrons were allowed to do shots and get drinks. Mind you, I ordered non-alcoholic beer in between drinks. I explained to her that I was taking an Uber home (since I took one there) yet she refused to serve me because she claimed that Uber can't pick me up from that location despite me trying to show her the app to prove that they do. She also stated that I was being "irresponsible" and that patrons who take Uber are MORE worrisome than those who drive. Mind you, I didn't Uber because I lost my license. I take Uber because I don't drive due to a health condition. I was shocked that she would make such bold assumptions. At that point, I was ready to leave anyways since it felt as if I was being discriminated against for not driving. As a bartender myself, I was shocked that anyone would call those who are responsible "worrisome." Meanwhile, she was serving shots left and right to people who are driving themselves home. At one point she randomly started asking who was going to take me home which I found incredibly dangerous and off-putting since I did not want or need a ride from anyone there, nor did I want to get in a car with a random man who drank copious amounts of alcohol. I even informed her that I had a friend who would otherwise bring me home if needed. Why any reasonable bartender would try to send a woman home with a drunk patron is beyond me. They also had a dog named "Dunkin" that was running around behind the bar. She fed him out of her bare hand and then immediately proceeded to touch the glassware without washing her hands. She was in charge of preparing food as well so I found this a little unsettling. The bartender was also serving patrons homemade moonshine with "fresh picked local berries" out of a mason jar from a guy's cooler bag. If I'm not mistaking, this is a blatant violation of liquor laws as Rhode Island prohibits the distribution of unlicensed alcoholic beverages and moonshine without the proper permits. She served it to multiple patrons. The guy admitted to making it himself at home. At first, Lucky's seemed nice and free spirited bar but this is not a place for someone who is looking to kick back and relax. They clearly don't like newcomers and want to be an exclusive neighborhood bar. I don't know what's up with the bartender but she seems to flip like a switch. On my way out the door, one of the customers told me that this isn't the first time she chased a female customer away. I cannot in good conscience recommend this bar to anyone. read more

2nd stop on a Saturday RI Food Fights 'Lord of the Pies' jaunt. Another place I've probably driven by and never given a thought to. As a matter of fact, in the course of conversation with the bartender Ally, I admitted that every time I had ever gone to Pizza King (out in the woods just passed them) that I would often drive by and wonder what the inside of this place was like. Well today answered that question and yes, it's the type of place that you walk in there and you do feel like every head turns to look at you because they know you're not from Foster. (It's almost reminiscent of the scene in 'an American werewolf in London' when the two hikers go into the Scottish bar) but I digress. We parked our butts right at the bar and they had the Bruins game on and there was an interesting cast of characters sitting at the bar discussing all sorts of random things. But don't let appearances fool you, because Lucky's has a really homey feeling and regardless of if you're a local or an 'out-of-towner' from Providence, they were happy to serve us. The pizza is nothing spectacular to but it's NOT awful either! It's a pizza that hits the right notes if you're sitting there having a couple of cold ones. I don't know WHEN I'll be back to Luckys; but now I know it's a fun place to stop in for a drink. Oh and watch your speeds out there on route 6... Foster's finest like to sit out there read more

Bar in the Woods Like Helen's Bar, another route 6 bar in the woods of Foster or North Scituate, whatever. Lucky's is a bit nicer than Helen's and I guess on the weekends it gets quite busy. They are supposed to serve pretty good pizza, but I didn't try it. The night I went in recently, the bartender was super friendly and the drinks are a pretty deal so we were happy. Decent bar in the middle of nowhere, so if your in the area and need to grab a bite to eat, Lucky's is pretty decent. Thanks read more

Great stop for a quick bite. Chowder and clamcakes etc. Cold beer and/or soft drinks. Definitely a bike run stop. Easy on/off access to Rt 6

This place doesn't even deserve a full star, the pizza is always cooked until it's a brick and has no flavor and is barely edible. I will gladly drive more than an hour away if needed because this place is so terrible. Sure if you like bland cardboard go for it, that's the place for you, yucky luckys sure lives up to its name read more

Ever since I was little we would order Lucky's only if my mother was sick or didn't feel like cooking. Its emergency dinner, not a first choice. The building is older than dirt with nasty faded cheap booths and a bar on one side. If you walk into the pizza side, your first thought is "is this place shut down??" Because everything looks abandoned and forgotten about. About 3-4 old bar/arcade games from the 80's sit in the corner collecting dust and the door is half rotten off the building. Pizza is barely average. But hey, there's nothing else around in foster. Also to top it all off, they used to deliver and now they don't even do that. read more

We have really enjoyed going to Luckys. A nice portion of white chowder and clam cakes. Perfect as an appetizer. Our company has enjoyed the buffalo chicken pizza, meatball calzone and my all time favorite spinach pie with marinara sauce. What it lacks in aesthetics, they make up with really tasty food and good local employees. Give Luckys a try. We did and it's become our convenient home time go to. A surprise delicious pizza is the eggplant. I think I'll order it tonight. Thanks guys, cya soon read more

So inconsistent. Closest place to us so sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures but today was the last straw. I've lived in Foster for 25yrs. I feel like it's time for some decent food. Someone please buy Yucky Lucky's and make it good. That is my hope for the future. Thanks. read more

The fact that people give this a positive review is hilarious. I've had microwave pizza better than this. The community that lives in this area have obviously never eaten a real piece of pizza in their lives to think that this hot pile of garbage could ever pass for a piece of pizza. It just goes to show you are what you eat and the people that eat this and enjoy it are uncultured at best. read more

Great pizza for the area. Wish they delivered. They usually have specials too, call and ask. Credit cards are now accepted! read more

The service was friendly, and the pizza was good... hence the two star review. After that, Lucky's has little to offer. Even the dog inside that followed me from the bar to the restaurant to get my pizza looked chagrined. Maybe I should assume I came in on a bad day, as it appeared that the biker-friendly bar had barely survived a wild night. (And I know they are biker friendly because the hand written sign on the door says so.) Would I return again? Sure. Because in the wilds of Foster, your choice is either a tasty but mildly overpriced $15.00 pepperoni pizza from Lucky's or you have to hunt your own dinner. read more

I live in Foster and you need to stop into this place at least once. I know that is you live in Providence fat chance you will drive out to the border of Connecticut unless you are lost, and if you live out here you have already been. They have cool theme nights, free pool, cheap food stuff like that. Every one is always very friendly to me. And I have been in there with different women and the bartender never looked twice. Very professional. It is biker friendly and has a restaurant attached. Oh yeah and they serve High Life! read more

Lucky's is the best pizza place around. I lived in Foster for a good six mos before I realized it was a pizza place & not just a bar. It's a beautiful setting, all hardwood interior, nice fireplace (always cranking during colder mos!), pool table, bar seating and tables. The staff are friendly and professional. I've never had a single thing there that I can complain about. I think too many residents view it as a "biker bar" & while it may in fact fit the bill, it's also a great spot for pizza take out. The calzones are my fav. My hubby & I used to frequent Lucky's every fri night for drinks & sometimes they have great live music! Awesome place, I can't say enough good about it. read more
