    I recently placed an order for pickup from Providence Coal Fired Pizza for an event. The day prior, I called and placed my order. The staff member who took my order was friendly and repeated my order to confirm accuracy. I ordered the Mixed Greens Salad ($10), Baby Bella PZ ($23), Rocket PZ ($23), and Pepperoni PZ ($22). On the day of the event, I went to Providence Coal Fired Pizza at 12:15pm to pickup my order. There were people already sitting at the bar and a table was occupied though they just opened 15 minutes ago. My pizzas were ready and at a shelf by the cashier. I asked about my salad and the staff member went to grab it. All my friends enjoyed the salad and pizza. The Baby Bella PZ had cremini and oyster mushrooms, ricotta, mozzarella, and finished with truffle oil. If you love mushrooms as much as I do, you will definitely enjoy this pizza. The Rocket PZ is a margherita pizza topped with arugula and pecorino. This was also very very good. I enjoyed the freshness of arugula. I didn't have a chance to try the Pepperoni PZ, but that was the first pizza to be finished. I usually don't eat the crust of pizza because it's too hard, but no one had anything left of their plate. It was all consumed.

    Stopped in for a bite after a Sundays matinee at PPAC. Two adults two teen girls. All were very happy! We got caprese and brussel sprouts for apps and they were super tasty! We also got 3 pizzas and had enough for everyone to take a little bit as left overs. The server was friendly and quick! Overall good time!

    Pickled vegetables- love! (Would come back only for this)

    Ok burnt really bland soggy pizza; after asking about it, they replaced it after seeing the bottom was blackened as well; Parm dip also really bland and not really dip-able, but loved the fresh (bland) flatbread! Best thing was the pickles! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really stuffy, humid, hot restaurant on a breezy day. Would have loved to have sat outside instead.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Really helpful server!

    The pizza here is always amazing. The crust has great flavor , nice and crispy texture. I love sauce because it's savory and not sweet like many pizza sauces . They also don't over sauce pizzas . I love the cup pepperoni, the ends get super crunchy and they are spicy. Service is always very friendly, but it is a little slow because they are so crowded. There is a long wait for food at times . It took over an hour to get two pizzas. But their pizzas are worth the wait. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While this place is usually crowded, its acoustics are good , so you can sit and have a nice conversation with people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    First time here and will not be the last time. Had dinner with a friend before we went to PPAC for a show. The establishment was super busy but the staff was attentive and made it look easy on such a busy afternoon. Drinks came out first and we were perfect not too strong. Our food came out hot and everything tasted amazing. Portion size was good for the two of us. Can't wait to bring family inventory love flatbread.

    My toughest challenge as a native Rhode Islander is finding a great pizza spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]PVD Coal Fire has a rustic and upscale charm to it, making them a going-out spot rather than a "order out and eat the whole box on the couch in sweats" type restaurant to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I mean that in a good way because everyone needs a go-to spot for date nights. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This downtown Providence location is perfect before a PPAC show and for fueling your cheesy cravings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE coal-fired pizza - definitely take your preferences into account if you're not a charred crust fan. We've tried a good amount of their specialty pizzas, like the Taco, Meat Lovers, BBQ Chicken, the Conrad and Four Cheese. I would rather eat those five pizzas in one sitting than answer which one was my favorite. If I HAD to choose... ... It would be the Taco pizza! I strongly gravitate towards fun and out-of-the-box options, making this specialty a winner in my books. If a beef chili base, Monterey Jack cheese, cumin sour cream, Frito's and scallion combo doesn't scare you, it might become your favorite too. As far as appetizers go, the bruschetta pomodoro was awesome and the house pesto packed tons of flavor. The coal-fired wings were okay. Unfortunately, the charred chicken tasted too dry to me. However, I did like the roasted onions sprinkled on top. Overall, I recommend bookmarking PVD Coal Fire for your next meal.

    Stopped by for dinner on a casual Thursday. Was surprised to know we could order 2 kinds of pizzas in one, loved that. Loved the thin crust. Efficient and friendly service, and the pizza came out pretty quickly. I'll be back to try more from the menu. I saw another table with salads and they looked big and tasty.

    White The Clam Pizza (excellent! Not too clammy and great crust consistency)
    Jana H.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Happy to have walked into this little gem of a pizza place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu had a lot of great options to choose from. Staff was friendly and service was good (but we were sad our waitress forgot to tell us about the Thanksgiving dinner seasonal pizza!). Food reviews: -picked vegetables: too spicy! Maybe that's what Chicago style means? -beet & goat cheese salad: excellent!! -clam pizza: also excellent! Crust wasn't too thin and it wasn't too clammy. Wish we would have known you could do half and half because we would have loved to try another (maybe add that to the menu for future?) Also had two tasty drinks that I forget the names of. Would recommend for a good pizza stop in downtown Providence!

    Good looking pizza, ok flavor, ridiculous price.
    Stringfellow H.

    $20? Come on, man. That's crap. Was the pizza good? It was passable. I had to add salt because the sauce lacks flavor. Was the server good? Yes. My server was attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance? A one hole pisser/shitter, a large bar, and down town Providence location--you pay real estate property, not pizza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Read my other pizza reviews from across Europe. I know what a good pizza price is. Ok pizza, too expensive.

    Meatball Pizza
    Greg G.

    The wings are great here! Always served piping hot. I brought some pizza "experts" here tonight and they loved the pies. We shared the Conrad, Meatball, 4 Cheese and Margherita pizzas. My favorites are the Conrad and 4C. Service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat at the bar tonight. NCAA games on the tvs, do we had great conversations and great fun watching the games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is a bit loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Maybe this location is better with a bigger crowd, while the North Kingstown location is better for a cozy date night![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't forget to finish with the cannoli, mousse or butterscotch pudding!

    Omg.. best clam pizza of my life. A perfect blend of flavors and who doesn't love potatoes on pizza! Honorable mention to the meatball pizza which was also very tasty. Service was quick from a take out order standpoint and [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance appeared cosy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 recommend

    The Rocket Pizza
    Rome C.

    The pizza tasted delicious as everything tasted fresh. My holiday cocktail was a perfect spin for Valentine's Day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was a good typical pizza joint that's family friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're lucky enough to get seats in front of the pizza cooks - it is a nice little 'show'[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One star down: [[HIGHLIGHT]]As for service, we went on a Saturday (day after valentine's) and it was already packed at 12:30pm when they had opened at 12pm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My bf and I got lucky for two seats at the bar. The bartender/server was friendly and got us our drinks right away. But the downside of how busy it was, we waited an hour to finally get our pizza. We were on a time crunch as we had other plans as well. As soon as the pizza came, we asked for the check at the same time - we ate it quickly since we were super hungry and paid so we can leave as soon as we could. I would go again, but trying to avoid the busy days.

Their pizza is NY style thin crust (YUM) and though you can order a typical Margherita pizza, I highly suggest looking through the specialty pizza options. We got the G.O.A.T. Pizza which comes with mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, caramelized onions, herbs, and hot honey drizzle. It's even better than it sounds. This was the perfect combo of garlicky savory cheese and sweet honey with the tiniest kick. I could have eaten the entire large pizza on my own. I'm in RI for one more week and trust that I will order this again. I also got the 10 piece order of wings with BBQ sauce and was so pleasantly surprised to see it came on top of caramelized onions! It was there in the description, but I missed it. They were so good I was picking them out by hand and enjoying them. The wings were thick and full of meat. They had an option to get them extra well done, but I love exactly how they came regularly. I would definitely order these again. Overall, super impressed. Highly recommended!

Whether you're vegan, lactose intolerant, a meat lover, vegetarian, or gluten free - there is something for you and this is your sign to order pizza for dinner tonight. They also offer catering, I used them for work before too. Super convenient and easy to work with.

    If I had known this shop was open late, I would have been coming here more often. My friend and I…read morewere hungry around 11:30 pm on Friday night and this was one of the few open spots in the area with affordable good food. There was street parking and at the time, it was free. There were about 4 parties inside when we walked in, which gave us some time to think about which slices we wanted. We eventually went with the arugula, cranberry, balsamic drizzle, and I think feta along with the spicy sun dried tomato. The slices are pretty big and they do put them in the oven before handing them over. Each slice is about $4-$6, but you can also order whole pies. There was seating inside, but the air conditioning was too strong, so we found a table outside. Before stepping out, we poured ourselves cups of complimentary water. The crust is crispy and thin so you really get to taste all the toppings. The arugula one was really good. I enjoyed the different flavors: sweet, salty, creamy, acidic, and surprisingly, the arugula was not overly bitter. The sun-dried tomato one was also good. I am typically not a fan but this one was good since the tomato wasn't tough, or overly acidic. I would highly recommend Fellini's for great food at a good price. I would consider this location to be better for quick trips, or take out to eat the food at the Pedestrian bridge, but they do have another location in Cranston which is prettier and bigger for sit down, family style, and large groups.

Their pizza slices are thin and big - think NYC slices. The real draw is the variety of toppings available at any given time for a slice - not just traditional slices but specialty - like buffalo or bbq chicken. You definitely will find something. There are a few tables inside and also a few outside on the sidewalk. They have other dishes on the menu but I have only had their pizza I'm always satisfied when I visit Fellini's.

The bartender barely made eye contact, and when I ordered a spicy tequila soda, I was served with Tajín sprinkled on top--not exactly what I'd expect for a spicy drink. The food was equally underwhelming. The pepperoni pizza came out with the pepperoni completely burnt. When we mentioned it, we were told that's simply how they prepare it, so keep that in mind if you order pizza here. The wings were decent and had a good amount of meat on them, but that was about the only highlight. The nachos arrived swimming in grease, making them difficult to enjoy, and the toppings were just average. The French fries were another issue--they appeared to have been cooked in the same fryer as seafood. This wasn't disclosed, and the fries came out tasting noticeably fishy. Thankfully, I don't have a seafood allergy, but that could be a serious concern for someone who does. The ambiance was fine, but overall the food and service left a lot to be desired, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

You walk into the space & the first thing you see is a gauntlet with swinging "axes" that you need to run through without getting hit! I kinda wish everyone had to do it to gain access but it is one of the many fun games/adventures from Level99. The special menu was $25 for a pizza & 2 beverages. Upon recommendation of our delightful server Kobe, we opted for the Hot Mess: ezzo cupping pepperoni, piri-piri sauce, fresnos, queso fresco. Pizza is Detroit style & the edges were perfection, I could have used a bit more sauce but the piri-piri drizzle was fire. We both had a glass of wine. We were in the mood for a nightcap. I selected a coffee stout, Jolly Woodsman by Banded Brewing. Our server asked if I wanted a taste before ordering a glass, I was happy that I took him up on the offer - it wasn't my favorite. I was laughing with him that hubby & I are beer weirdos - we like the lightest & the darkest beers. He offered to bring me a taste of the Night Shift Brewing's Imperial stout, Dynasty. And along with that, he also brought the two lightest Night Shift Brewing beers. We loved all three of them! I would definitely go back for the pizza & the beer but the games are calling my name!

    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.
