Absolutely terrible experience. The pizza arrived cold, which was bad enough, but the real shock…read morewas the size compared to the price. This "Detroit brick pizza" measured roughly 8 inches by 5 inches and somehow cost $16. For that price, I expected quality, portion size, and at the very least, hot food.

I was in Bristol tonight to help my grandmother finish her holiday decorating and we decided to get…read morepizza for dinner. For those paying attention - yes I did have pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner today. After listing off the many awesome options this town has - Brick, Leo's, Nello's, Bristol House of Pizza, we settled on Pio's. Pio's is a pizza place born from Pomodoro, Bristol's most popular Italian restaurant, where the demand for their quality, hand tossed pies grew larger than the tiny restaurant could handle. So they opened a pizza and grinder shop a few blocks up the road. You walk into the place and it feels like it's trying to be a more hip version of a neighborhood spot. There's a small bar and a few tables for dining in. It was bustling for a Wednesday night, people were coming in and out to pick up dinner on their way home. Back at my grandmother's, we enjoyed the pizza together. The crust has a crunchy exterior soft and chewy interior. Holds up well, no flop for those who care. Toasty notes from the cornmeal mix used to keep the pies from sticking as they bake. The sauce savory but a thinner layer, I personally would order extra sauce next time as that's my preference. Tasting it you can tell they didn't just open up some cans and season it, this is a sauce cooked with intention, a deep rich tomato taste only achieved by simmering for hours The toppings are clearly fresh, no canned mushrooms here and hand cut bacon bits. The cheese was salty and stretchy. The bacon lent a smoky taste and the mushrooms added an earthiness that took the taste to a different level, various flavor notes dancing across your palate in every bite. My grandmother loved it, and I certainly enjoyed it as well. So next time you're in Bristol, be sure to check it out!

Today I picked up a Margherita pizza, half with eggplant. It was packed on a Friday night but my…read morepick up order was still ready earlier than expected - their online ordering process is so easy to use! The crust was fluffy and I actually wanted to eat it unlike most crusts. It was tasty and I love how they do the thinly sliced eggplant pieces, but I ordered this because the photo on their website showed more cheese than is usual for a Margherita pizza, which was enticing, but what I got did not have nearly as much cheese on it. This felt a little misleading and bummed me out, but it was fresh and good otherwise.

Bristol House of Pizza has been a fixture since I was growing up in town in the '80's. It was…read morealways a treat to get pizza here and I loved the Greek style crust, the toppings, and so much cheese! When I saw that BHOP was participating in this year's Lord of the Pies, I was so happy to return here after so many years. Bristol House of Pizza definitely didn't disappoint! The pizza was just as I remembered it - crust was crispy around the edges, lots of cheese, flavorful sauce. It was really good! Service here is order at the counter. The person who took our order was friendly and efficient. We ate in the dining room, which has doubled in size since the 1980's, and it is attractive and comfortable. Especially liked the tables by the large windows looking out onto State Street. BHOP also always had great sandwiches, and although we didn't try any ourselves during our visit, the sandwiches that we saw at other tables looked amazing. Pasta and entrees are available too. They also have beer, wine and cocktails! So good to be back in one of the restaurants I remember from growing up, and really great to see that the food and service are still awesome!

The large is a good amount for 3 people, especially when paired with the garlic bread. The garlic bread was delicious and on a grinder if that helps conceptualize the amount.

I appreciate that the tables are spread out and the service is quick (you order at the counter then they bring it to your table).

Moving Dough lives in a converted house in Barrington, with a flag out front and Christmas lights…read morestrung up in the windows. Red bows, string lights wrapped around the frames. Inside, red ladder-back chairs, blonde wood tables, a pop art pizza slice on the wall. Paper plates. No cups, even though they sell 2-liter bottles with those 20 ouncers. It's really, at its heart, a nicely appointed takeout spot. A small space, maybe 20 seats, but friendly, the guys throwing the pizzas talked with us while they made pies. Easy, natural. Like being at someone's house. That's their food truck DNA showing through. Joey and Jay started making pizzas at backyard cookouts in 2021. Friends kept asking for more, so they bought a wood-fired truck. They blew up around Rhode Island and Massachusetts after that and opened this brick and mortar shop in 2023. We started with meatballs. Two of them in marinara with pecorino on top and fresh basil. These were exceptional. Tender, moist, herbaceous in the best way, seasoned like someone's grandmother taught them how. The sauce had real flavor, bright and rich at the same time. They were almost identical to Bettola's, which is high praise. Best meatballs I've had from a pizza place in months. I kept thinking these would be incredible in a sandwich or calzone. Then came the Sicilian pie. 16 by 12 inches, thick crust, split down the middle: half cheese, pepperoni, and olives; half grilled chicken. The crust showed serious color variation (gold to deep brown to char spots). That brick oven's running hot and nobody's micromanaging every inch. Look at the crumb structure in those cross-sections. Big, irregular air pockets. Wild shapes that only happen when time does the work. Not the uniform bubbles of rushed dough. Light, airy, crispy on the bottom, sturdy enough to hold whatever is on top. Golden brown undercarriage with real structure. In no way doughy like most Sicilians turn out. That 24-hour fermentation they talk about? It's real. You can see it. That light, airy structure leaves you full but not bloated. The pepperoni and olive side delivered. Good snap on the pepperoni, quality cheese melted perfectly, clean tomato sauce balancing sweetness and acid. Just fresh tomato flavor doing its job. The chicken side is where it gets interesting. Grilled chicken is the canary in the coal mine for pizza competence. It separates the pizza makers from the pizza fakers. Get it wrong and it's dried out on top or rubbery underneath because they don't understand that chicken needs to cook ON the pizza, not ahead of time. Moving Dough gets it. The chicken was moist, properly cooked, not dry or rubbery. They kept the cheese and sauce ratio the same as the other half, so a touch more sauce would've helped with moisture and flavor, but the fact that the chicken survived the oven tells you they know what they're doing. That's the New Haven DNA of the shop. The crust is a platform. Toppings get the spotlight. The sauce carries flavor. The cheese does its work. The crust holds it all together with that crispy foundation and doesn't compete. It works. I'd go back for those meatballs alone. But I also want to try their regular round pies, see what they do with The Hot Chick or The Tenderoni. Who goes to Barrington for pizza? Moving Dough puts it on the map.

I wouldn't say this is my top choice for pizza, but we still order here like 2x a month and I think…read moreI like it more and more each time. They have pick up & delivery which is great. Also think they have a table or two inside? From our most recent order: The Mya (fig spread, prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, balsamic glaze) - 8.5/10. Sometimes it gets to be a little too sweet for me, but still super delicious Meat Lovers (mozzarella, meatball, bacon, pepperoni, sausage) - 7/10. Not my first choice but still super yummy, I didn't love the bacon on this though and would have liked it better without. The Goat salad (arugula, fried goat cheese ball, beets, candied pecans, balsamic glaze) - 8/10. Love this salad but it is lacking just a tiny bit. I also would either order this or the Mya Pizza because they are super similar in taste so definitely don't need both

The staff is friendly and down-to-earth, and you get the sense that they genuinely care about the food they're putting out.

This time I asked for it well done and I got pepperoni and mushrooms on it. I showed up early, the place is super cute inside. A small amount of tables in the front, some are right in the window, perfect for people watching in the summertime. As I waited, the servers were updating me every few minutes to let me know the status of the pizza. I was early, so I appreciate that they were letting me know even though I wasn't supposed to be there yet. I just like to take my pizza as soon as it's ready! As soon as it was cut, they placed it in my hands to take away. You didn't often see good takeout service at a sit down place so that was really nice When I got back to my grandmother's, we dug in. The crust was nice and crispy but not too crunchy where it hurts your teeth. The sauce was great, kind of jammy but not too sweet. My grandmother loved it, she couldn't stop saying how much she liked it. She said the best pizza in Bristol, in her opinion! So that automatically gets a 10/10 in my book. Needless to say, we will be back soon enough to have more Leo's pizza, once she finishes the leftovers!

I know Leo's is a long‑established, well‑loved Bristol restaurant -- I believe they're in their…read morefifth generation -- which is why my recent visit surprised me. I ordered the $32 lobster roll (photo attached) with a sweet potato fry upcharge, plus a $9 cup of chowder. For that price point, I expected a true lobster roll, but the portion was small and felt heavy on filler rather than lobster. The flavor was fine, but the value just didn't match the cost. My total was over $60 with tip for a simple lunch. I didn't complain at the time, and I'm hoping this was just an off day, but I wanted to share my experience so others know what to expect. With such a long history behind them, I'm hoping they return to the quality they're known for.

It honestly means so much to be able to enjoy my old standby again without worrying about it. I was also just told I can order my favorite as a bowl, which I'll definitely be trying next time. They are always moving and grooving behind the counter, but still manage to be polite and friendly every single time. It's clear they take pride in what they do. I'm excited to see what's next for them, especially the Detroit style pizza. Bristol is lucky to have a place like Ricotti's.
