    I know I say this all the time but one of the reasons I love being part of RI Food Fights is trying out places that I never knew existed! 401 WingZ is on Oaklawn in Cranston. We drive by their plaza all the time & never knew they were there. They have a bunch of sauces but were offering: - 401 (buffalo base sauce mild in nature & savory, it's a little twist on their buffalo mild) - 716 Mulberry (buffalo base sauce its a medium spice, it's a little twist on their buffalo medium) - Loganberry BBQ (it's a berry BBQ sauce with a blend of raspberry & blackberry infused into BBQ sauce) Hubby ordered the 716 Mulberry, I ordered the Loganberry BBQ. When you close your eyes & dream of the perfect buffalo sauce for wings, this is it. We also very much enjoyed the Loganberry BBQ with the char on the wings, not too sweet & a nice bit of heat. We were in the mood for a little something else so we ordered a small cheese pizza. YUM! We got to chat with one of the owners for a while & she couldn't have been nicer. She made us try the PJ's Crystal Beach Original Loganberry drink they have at the soda station. Not my cup of tea but hubby liked it (especially if you added a spritz of vodka!). We will be back for the Beef of Weck. And we will forgive them for being Buffalo Bills fans! NOM NOM NOM #YUM

    This was my first stop for the 2026 #LordOfTheWings RI Food Fights challenge. I had heard good things about this place from colleagues and I was excited to try it. For the competition, they were offering three of their signature sauces I went with the 716 Mulberry. Their menu describes it as a "Buffalo Base Sauce. It's a little twist on our buffalo medium". The wings came out hot and were so crispy. No breading, just a crisp wing with the perfect amount of sauce. The spice was medium in my estimation BUT I know a lot of people will find them a bit on the hot side. The base was definitely buffalo as advertised with added spices that really switched up in a nice way. They were on the salty side, but not in a bad way. I very much enjoyed their take on a traditional buffalo sauce. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. We went on a Sunday during football season so they had four screens playing the days games. Most people seem to be coming in for takeout which makes sense but they were plenty of tables for beauty said that if you plan to eat at the restaurant. They had both fountain and cooler, soft drinks and a beer selection on tap. They offer counter service and our cashier was very friendly and answered all my questions about the menu choices. They do charge about $17 for 10 wings which I find a bit on the pricey side however they are a good quality so if you're gonna splurge, you won't be disappointed in the wing

    Came here for lord of the wings and definitely could be a contender for the winner. Their wings were fantastic, no breading needed just a solid wing. Plenty of sauce! Get your napkins ready!both flavors we had were delicious! They don't take the lord of the wings coupons on Sunday as an FYI! I wish their fries were homemade just a generic frozen fry, I think a fresh one could elevate them along with the onion rings too! The server was nice as well and it's a small spot but it's cute, has a few tables and the TVs to watch a game. I'd definitely come back

    Friendly people, and a quality pizza. Thin crust, good cheese mixture and a good sauce. In a vacuum this is a place that probably would be in the rotation of places I'd hit up. But, unfortunately, we don't live in a vacuum. For me, at least, it's just too expensive. $16+ for a small pizza, when I can get a large at other places for $12-$18, makes it an easy pass. If the quality was higher it would've helped and given me some consideration for the higher price, but it isn't that good for me to pay that price. And as I said initially, it's not bad by any means. It is a good pizza, but in this day and age of having to be more budget conscious, you have to weigh price/quanity.

    I decided to try something new a few Sundays ago and ordered a large Supreme pizza and garlic buffalo wings for the Patriots game. Online ordering was easy, and delivery was fairly quick. Unfortunately, about 80% of the pizza was burnt on the bottom. It had very little sauce, which made it dry and inedible. The buffalo wings were tasty but a bit pricey. I managed to eat a few slices and didn't feel like calling to complain, so I used their website's contact form to share my experience. It's been two weeks, and I still haven't received a response -- pretty disappointing for a $23 pizza.

    Having gone to Buffalo for all the local favorites and being a Boneheads diehard (RIP) I've been dying for truly good wings in RI for years. so happy to report that this place is the real, real, real deal. Perfectly cooked, nice crispy skin, friendly service and they don't skimp you on the portions. Thrilled this place is walking distance from my house so I can spend too much money here all the time.

    Full order - untouched. $7 1/2 and 1/2 fries/Orings. No value.

    I was just as excited as the next person to welcome authentic Buffalo cuisine to RI. I followed their progress closely and gave it a few days before heading in. It was surprisingly empty for a new spot at dinner time. Pricing was a bit surprising but with how much everything is these days - I was hoping for value. I stood at the counter while the cashier took 2 phone orders. She was nice so I won't hold it against her. Went with a simple pizza, a bunch of of wings, some tenders and sides. $100 later and I left underwhelmed. First - wait time was fine for "fresh fry" but what we got was not what I thought was coming. Party sized wings varied in size - but acceptable all around. I do however feel like they come in frozen. Coupled by standard frozen tenders and basic sides - i think fresh fry means they are cooking to order - not that we are getting fresh product. 401 Sauce: asked what it was and was literally told "I don't know how to explain it" It tasted like a mild/medium buffalo with Parmesan and maybe blue cheese? Not my style Hot buffalo - buttery and thick - but not hot. I enjoyed it. But need more heat. Loganberry BBQ - along with the Loganberry beverage - this was a nice change of pace. Unlike anything I've had in my travels. Not craveable but tasty. I'd recommend it. Sides. $7 for 4 onion rings and a small handful of fries is what disappointed me. But the kicker for me was as we left. The owner was in and out, but as we left we walked past him. I know he is the owner as I followed their build progress etc. As we left - we got nothing. Not a "thank you" a "how was everything" not a "see you again soon". This might sound like nitpicking, but pride of ownership would trump an overpriced plate of fries any day. I've been hard pressed to find a replacement since my go to wing spots have been out of business - and the search will continue. I do hope they succeed and will try again in a month or two.

    Merlino's had a nice renovation and went from a takeout place to what is truly a lovely little date…read morespot. The decor is fantastic. Merlino's also added what I think is probably the best tomato pie in Rhode Island. Anytime I'm anywhere in the area. I am absolutely there for this. It's somewhere between a New Haven pizza and the best pizza strip you've ever had in your life. Herby, thick, aromatic, crispy, and absolutely delicious, it's an incredible pizza. We also got one of those fancy sandwich things that are made with a pizza crust. I can never say the name of it, so I don't bother, but let's just say it's freaking amazing. Get the chicken parm. You will not be disappointed. The meatball is also fantastic. The fries that come with it, with a little bit of cheese and aromatics on it, are fantastic. This is one of the best-kept secrets in Rhode Island: truly great pizza and truly great people working behind the scenes. You'll love it here.

    This place is great ... you can tell not too much has changed since the 1970's and unintentional…read moreretro/vintage is my thing. This place could be so perfect with only a couple small changes! - There are white flourescent style lights on the ceiling. This really kills the vibe. It's almost like the top of the restaurant and the bottom don't match. You have cozy, 70's style wood paneling with dark wooden booths and stained glass lights hanging over the tables. Warm, cozy and intimate. Then, bright white lights above. I'd love to eat here with those bright lights turned off sometime. - Probably not economical but red checkered tablecloths, like vintage Italian restaurants used to have would make this place look like a movie set in a good way. That being said, everything else about this place is cool ... you know a good spot by how many regulars are there and everyone seemed to know everyone else by name on a Tuesday night. It wasn't crowded ... but it wasn't empty on an off-night. - The staff is exceptionally good. The waitress and hostess couldn't have been any sweeter and more helpful. Fast refills on the soft drinks and helpful without being intrusive. - The pizza is good. I have to admit, I am not sold on the cheddar cheese vs. mozzarella. I thought it would give the cheese an interesting, sharper taste but it seemed a bit bland. I will do the Italian-style next time with mozzarella. I liked my pizza but there was just something different about it. The crust is Greek-style ... kind of like the old Pizza Hut, when it was actually made fresh. Back in the 1980's and 90's there was nothing better than a golden, buttery light and crisp pizza crust from Pizza Hut, before the brand went to shit. This reminds me of that goodness of 1980's pizza crust. I'm not a thin crust guy ... but if you are, they have a thinner crust on the menu as well. Topping was good, maybe a bit spicier pepperoni would be a bit better ... toppings are a tad expensive for a few slices of pepperoni. A 3-topping pizza adds around $5. The small is good for two-people with light/moderate appetites. I wouldn't be able to eat a small and a salad by myself. Speaking of the salad ... one of the best regular house salads I've ever had. The dressing is amazing ... tangy, salty, perfectly done. I know it's hard to get all worked up over a standard Italian dressing but often the simplest things in cooking are the hardest to get right ... and they get the dressing right! Also, the lettuce was super fresh and the tomatoe slices were as well. The only issue I had was there was no 'side salad' version. There was a 'small' salad for around $8 ... but that could easily feed 2 - 4 people. Overall, this place gets just about everything right. It doesn't change or modernize. It's portions are great ... the food is very good ... prices maybe a bit high compared to other spots ... but you can tell they don't cut corners and everything is freshly made. The bar is where I'd want to sit normally ... but the seats are very close together and I didn't want to be elnow to elbow with strangers, so I snagged a small booth, which was also fine. The customers seemed nice ... but they all seemed very 'Cranston'. If they could deal with the lighting situation and make it less bright, I'd eat here 2 times per week. You can't beat a classic ... and this place is a classic.

Because I know about this little hidden gem already, I was driving home after a long day and I wasn't going to pass it without stopping. This is what I'd call emotional support pizza. Not a pilgrimage. Not a revelation. Just a really solid pie from a place that knows what it's doing and doesn't need to make a fuss about it. Pepperoni and black olive for me today. The crust had that chew you want, cooked through, some golden brown color on the bottom. The sauce was rich tomato with garlic running underneath the cheese, present enough to know it's there without fighting for attention. The olives were generous and distributed like someone thought about where they landed, not just dropped from a height. The pepperoni is cupped and charred slightly at the edges. The toppings-to-cheese ratio was right. It arrived fast and it arrived hot. This is what a revered neighborhood pizza place is supposed to be. Maria's does it. It's primarily takeout, four tables, busy foot traffic in and out the whole time I was there. They do good business and they know what their business is. I sat down anyway because I tend to be an iconoclast, and it was a fine visit. If you live nearby, you already know about this place. If you don't, that's between you and your neighborhood. Maybe you should move.

    I am hooked on Maria's pizza. I stopped in as the are a contestant in the RI Food Fight's Lord of…read morethe Pies competition and got a small pizza with sausage. I ordered over the phone and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. I walked into the shop twenty minutes later and it was ready. The staff was very courteous and the whole ordering/paying process was as it should be - easy! I took it home and it had just cooled enought to eat it. This is the type of pizza I love. A thinker crust, loaded with mozzarella, and a nice sauce that was not overwhelming. The sausage had a nice spice to it. (For the record, I am not a fan on New Haven style pizza, which seems to be popular in RI - this is not that. Nor is it New York style - which I do like BUT not over the style that Maria's serves.) I aslo added some wings to the order (this time spicy BBQ). Those were good as always. It also should be said that I had left over pizza and it reheated nicely! They now are my go to pizza place.
