The option to order the pizza well done is something I have never seen before and the most amazing idea ever !! It made the crust just a little bit crispier and the cheese has a perfect brown top.

Since we already got the pizza we got a garlic cheese warhammer but they have ones that are stuffed with anything that goes on a pizza more.

I came for the $12 bar pie. I'm not what you'd call a big sports fan, much less a Pat's fan. I was…read morein the marching band, if that explains anything But with the Pats first playoff win, Cowesett Pizza was offering a special through today - one topping bar pie for $12. They also had a deal on a regular one topping for $10 but I made the trek from the office in Milford MA all the way to West Warwick instead of home today. I was a woman on a mission. I came in and took a seat at the bar. I had been here once before so I knew that the place was small but clean and bright inside. I ordered a beer and my pizza, then sat back and waited. The staff worked like a well oiled machine pumping out food and taking care of every customer with ease After a while, my beautiful baby landed right in front of me. I chose cherry peppers as my one topping, wanting the heat and vinegar taste. I was hungry so I immediately dug in. The crust was crispy but gave way when I bit into it. The sauce and cheese together were salty, savory and sharp. The beer was a good choice to have with this pizza for sure. The lacy crunchy edges were fantastic, the cooked down cheese having a taste I can only describe as similar to extra crispy bacon. Awesome. Before I left I snagged a slice of the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake by The Side Slice who sells incredible cheesecakes thru preorder on his page or you can find a rotation of slices in the Cowesett cooler. I waited until I got home to enjoy this wonderful dessert: chocolate cake base, filled with pistachio cheesecake, topped with a thick layer of pistachio kaitafi, covered in chocolate fudge frosting, pistachio whipped cream, and chopped pistachios. The bite was divine. I cut off another bite and ate each layer individually, such different but wonderful textures and flavors. I managed to stop halfway through the slice to save the rest for tomorrow but I will be thinking about that cheesecake as much as I'll be thinking about that bar pie. So if you haven't made the detour off Route 2 to have some pizza and cheesecake, you need to fix that asap. And sorry to all those who missed out on this deal, because I had a three course meal for $27 with leftovers for at least two more meals. Thanks so much!

I was drawn to Cowesett Pizza because when I'd post reviews of other pizzerias, their account…read morewould show up writing positive things about those places. That's pretty rare. Most places are too busy promoting themselves to acknowledge anyone else exists. I thought it made sense to reward that kind of energy and try the pizza, even though I have to drive by six other pizza places I enjoy to get to them. Turns out the pizza's worth the drive. Cowesett is one of those neighborhood gems you only know about if you live around the corner or stumble upon it by pure luck. It's no-frills and familiar inside. A few bar stools, a couple of tables, local sports plaques on the wall. There's a sign over the kitchen that says "Great Food Served Here", and like the staff T-shirts that read "Cooked with Love", they're not lying. Most of the business here is takeout. People call ahead, swing in, grab their food. But if you stick around, there's space to sit, and no one's rushing you out. The staff are very friendly and equally efficient. They know the regulars. They're happy to help everyone though, without making you feel like an outsider. Just nice people doing their jobs really well. I ordered the half tray square pizza on my first visit because I'll always choose a square over a round. Square pizza always tastes better. It's not an opinion. It's some form of food physics or alchemy. Like how sandwiches taste better cut into triangles. Some truths don't need explanation, they just are. I went with pepperoni. What came out looked simple but nailed every detail. The crust was medium thick, super light, crispy, and airy. Baked perfectly. Golden on the bottom with a little crunch and a lot of character. The sauce had a savory flavor and a little bite. The cheese melted clean and was definitely good quality. The pepperoni cupped and crisped at the edges, exactly how you want it. Nothing fancy. Just really, really good pizza. I've been back many times since. They're consistently great. That matters more than a single perfect night. I switched my order a couple months ago from pepperoni to grilled chicken just to see how they'd handle it. Turns out it was a revelation. They prepare the chicken fresh on the spot before putting it on the pizza to cook. That's a pro tip. Many places don't understand how that works and end up drying the chicken into rubbery waste. Knowing that you want it surrounded with enough sauce to keep it moist, my go-to became square half sheet with grilled chicken, extra sauce, and light cheese. Cheese is just a condiment to me on pizza. It's among the best pizzas I've had anywhere. Perfectly brown, perfectly tasty, super high quality ingredients from top to bottom. Maybe I'm crazy but I always feel like when I eat grilled chicken pizza instead of pepperoni, I'm somehow eating health food. More protein, right? That's exactly how it works in your brain even when you know it's probably bullshit. Like I'm thinking "but it's CHICKEN, so this is basically a gym membership" while I destroy an entire half sheet by myself. The owners, Chris and Britt, are among the nicest people I've met in the pizza business, or anywhere, really. Quality and community focused. They use the best ingredients and do their best to keep prices reasonable for the neighborhood while also doing right by their employees. Great pay. Long-term disability coverage. Retirement matching. How many pizza places do that? I can't think of another one in Rhode Island. And they don't rest on what works. They developed an awesome bar pie. Now they're working on a Detroit hybrid. They keep pushing. They keep trying to do better. They're also generous with their time and money in the community. Fantastic food, model business, outstanding neighbors. Cowesett Pizza's square pie is good enough to be a destination pizza, not just the best option in the neighborhood. Chris and Britt make fantastic pizza, treat people right, and keep getting better. That's worth driving past six other good options for.

The first rule of Famous Pizza was not mine…read more I married into it. My in-laws lived in the Oak Haven section of Coventry, and Famous was their pizza place. Same for most of the people they knew. Famous had a West Warwick address, but it belonged to them. The order came with the family. Always get the square. Extra sauce. No explanation. No tasting flight. No committee formed to consider the round. That was their pizza. Thirty years later, Famous has 18 other pizzerias within a ten-minute drive. There is a Domino's directly across Main Street, just in case the competition was feeling too subtle. There are newer places making newer styles. There are pizzas with longer fermentation schedules and enough information printed on the menu to qualify for college credit. Famous still makes the square. And they make it really well. The stream of customers that were coming in while we talked for an hour spoke to that. Oftentimes people walking out with four or five pizzas in their hands. The classics do not owe anyone reinvention. They owe people consistency. Keep making the thing they loved in the first place, and make it well enough that they still want it after the world around it gives them 18 other choices. Lauren and I met up with Kirk and Tracy at Famous for lunch. Kirk is the director of The Pizza Principal. Tracy is its executive producer. The four of us were there to talk about what comes next as we work toward getting the movie onto a screen in Providence this November and, from there, onto screens across the country. Three decades ago, my family had me picking up Famous on Saturday nights because they made the best pizza nearby. Now I'm sitting at one of its tables discussing how to put a movie about my life with pizza into theaters. Life can really throw you some curveballs, man. We ordered the square with extra sauce, pepperoni and black olives. It arrived with just the right amount of cheese. Plenty of pepperoni. Plenty of olives. Sauce visible underneath and pushing toward the edges. The bottom was a topographical map of dark brown blistering and lighter pockets. The crust crunched when I bit through it, then turned chewy underneath. Golden brown. Sturdy. Strong enough to carry all that sauce, cheese and topping without collapsing under the weight of its own decisions. The extra sauce is still the right move. Thick, but not pasty. Flavorful. Basil right out front, with enough body to stand up to the crust and all that cheese. Good cheese, too. The pepperoni had crisped in spots, while a little grease collected in the cups exactly where it belonged. Nobody has ever improved pepperoni by making it apologize for the grease. Even the black olives did their job. That should not be remarkable, but on a heavily topped pizza, olives often become decoration. Black circles buried under stronger flavors. These still tasted like olives. The crust, sauce, cheese, pepperoni and olives came together without turning into one big, heavy, indistinguishable flavor. Each part held its ground. Together, they made for a very good, traditional pizza. Pretty much the one I remembered. Famous does not need clever reinvention after all these years. Families have been carrying those square boxes back across the Coventry line for decades. Mine was one of them. The classic survived because it stayed good. If you haven't been in a while, this is a great time for you to feel that nostalgia and have a nice pizza too. Square. Extra sauce. You're welcome.

Apparently Lauren's birthday is a pizza festival now…read more For Day Two, I met up with her at The Pizza Nomad in the Center of New England because they have a new pizza called the Detroit Slim. I had questions. Mostly about how something this thick gets to call itself slim. We ordered one cheese and one pepperoni and settled in. Then we saw the pizza, and suddenly Detroit Slim made sense. The answer is geometry. It isn't slim from the side. Not even close. It's slim from above. Instead of the big rectangular Detroit-style pizza most of us know, this thing is long and narrow, cut into four substantial pieces. I immediately loved the size. It gives you everything I want from Detroit-style pizza without requiring what sometimes feels like a contractual obligation to an enormous pan of it. Four pieces. Manageable. Plenty of pizza. But the crust is what got me. Look at the picture of Lauren holding up that cross-section. That's the story. The inside is almost absurdly soft, smooth and airy. Big pockets run through a light, pillowy structure that looks nothing like what you're expecting from the weight of the slice in your hand. Then turn it over. The bottom is golden brown, blistered and crisp enough to make noise. That's the trick. You bite through this loud, crunchy shell and immediately hit something soft, smooth and almost delicate inside. Crunch, then pillow. The two textures shouldn't occupy the same piece of dough this comfortably. But they do. And around the perimeter, things get even better. Cheese escapes down the sides and meets the hot pan, leaving behind those dark, crispy pieces hanging off the edges. The stuff that looks almost burned in the pictures? That's treasure. The sauce has enough presence to survive everything happening around it. You still taste tomato beneath all that cheese, crust and rendered pepperoni. The cheese itself is really good, with enough flavor to be more than just the thing holding everything together. And that pepperoni was fantastic. Some cups. Some curls. Some lies flat against the cheese. The edges go dark and crisp while the centers render their fat into everything underneath them. There is a point with pepperoni where "burned" and "perfect" become separated by about thirty seconds. I like living dangerously close to that line. Pizza Nomad does too. There is also, for reasons I cannot explain, a full-sized medieval knight standing guard over the pizza. I respect this. If you're going to make an inch and a half thick pizza called Detroit Slim, there is no reason a knight can't stand guard over it. The Detroit Slim is a collection of contradictions. It's thick without being heavy. Soft and seriously crunchy. Small enough to feel manageable, substantial enough that nobody is going home wondering what we're having for lunch tomorrow. But I keep coming back to that crust. That soft, smooth, airy interior. The blistered bottom. The cheese cooked hard against the edges. Crispy pepperoni on top of all of it. Every layer has a different job. And somehow, every one of them makes noise. Day Two of Lauren's birthday pizza week is in the books. At this point, I've accepted that her birthday lasts a week. I see no compelling reason to challenge this.

The reputation arrives first…read more Walk into Frank Pepe's on Universal Boulevard in Warwick, and a hundred years of reputation walks in with you. The original is on Wooster Street in New Haven. It opened in 1925. Frank Pepe was a 32-year-old Italian immigrant from the Amalfi coast who had been selling pies from a hat, carrying them on his head through the neighborhood market to feed factory workers who needed something hot and good and cheap. He saved enough to open a real restaurant. He built an oven. The oven stayed put for over 100 years, because you do not move a hundred thousand pounds of brick. His nickname was Old Reliable. That history is sitting at the table with you whether you know it or not. The Warwick location lit its coal-fired oven in the spring of 2018. Seven years of continuous heat. The bricks are absorbing it slowly, not all at once but building. You can taste what they share with the original, which is the part that matters. We ordered the tomato pie with meatballs. This is the right call at Pepe's and I am not apologizing for it. The tomato pie is where the place began. Two items on the original 1925 menu: tomato pie and tomato pie with anchovies. No mozzarella because there was no refrigeration. Constraint became tradition the way it always does, faster than philosophy ever manages. At Pepe's, mozzarella is optional. Pecorino and the tomatoes and the crust are the baseline, and the baseline is the argument. The sauce is crushed Italian tomatoes. That description undersells it. The sauce at Pepe's has been refined for a century to carry a pie without a cheese safety net, which means it has to be bright and acidic and complex enough to hold its own against char and dough and whatever is riding on top of it. The meatballs were sliced thin across the tomatoes and seasoned all the way to the center. That is rarer than it should be. Then there is the crust. The coal-fired oven runs somewhere above 650 degrees. The char on the edge is not decorative. It contributes a bitterness that cuts right through the acid in the tomatoes. They need each other. The leopard spots across the bottom of the pie tell you the heat and the timing were right. The crispness is structural. The chew underneath it is real. We also ordered the grilled chicken pie. Yes. At Frank Pepe's. The room has opinions and the room can have them. What I did not expect was for the chicken to be a genuine star. Not pulled, not scattered, not the afterthought that grilled chicken usually is on pizza. These were proper chunks, with intentional size, juicy in a way that should not survive a 650-degree coal oven but somehow did. Substantial. The kind of protein that makes you feel good, even though it's on a pizza. When I eat it, I feel like I'm taking vitamins. It tastes healthy. There is a lot of it. It is delicious. These three things rarely show up together on a pizza and Frank Pepe's managed all three without making it feel virtuous in the annoying way. It felt like a reward. Frank Pepe's in Warwick is not the original. Nothing will ever be the original. The original is on Wooster Street in a city that built its identity around this particular pizza and has been arguing about it for a hundred years. What the Warwick location is, is an honest attempt to bring the New Haven style here. The coal is real. The oven is real. The sauce is the sauce. The crust is the crust. Seven years of heat in those bricks doing the work that oven was built to do. Great room. Great service. Really great pizza. Old Reliable.

Fratellis is situated in one of the shopping strips along the boulevard. Lots of open parking, always a plus in my book. Inside, the big windows of the front offer a lot of natural light as you walk inside. The set is simple, straightforward and clean. A few tables, counter seating at the windows and the register, where a nice woman was waiting to take our order. We went simple today, a Detroit half cheese and half pepperoni. I had heard great things about the Detroit and I wanted to taste for myself. After about 20 minutes, the pizza arrived and it was time to eat. The first thing I noticed is this is a VERY cheesy pizza, some might say overly so. I would be one of those people. But if you love lots of cheese, you will love this. Although it was a lot of cheese, it was delicious. The pockets of sauce were great, I love a chunky, savory sauce. The crust was buttery, crispy but pillowy thick. The caramelized cheese edges nice and crunchy, always my favorite part of the Detroit. We are blessed to have many great options for Detroit now here in Rhode Island. Fratelli's is absolutely among the top in the state. If you like Detroit, you need to add this place to your list to check out ASAP.
