Maria's Pizza And Wings on Pontiac Ave in Cranston is a neighborhood spot, the kind that's easy to…read moremiss if you don't already know it's there, tucked in and going about its business without asking for your attention. 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.

Food: We only ordered drinks, nachos and churros. But the…read morenachos were good, the cheese was melted in a way that when it dries it hardens a bit and I love that part. It's also very shareable (thought I took a pic but didn't..oops!). The churros were crispy and came in 4 pieces with a side of chocolate to dip. It was good but could be a bit softer inside. Overall, good spot to meet up for drinks and snacks! Service: Our waitress was super attentive and very nice. She checked in on us often. Ambiance: It's a nice spot. Looks like a big log cabin and plenty of tables and seatings. Great for watching sports too. There was a singer there for the night and he was good! There's also a parking lot in the front. Would go again.

Food on floor, tables had a crayon used as a shim to keep from wobbling. It even smelled like a greasy old friendlys. I watched someone clear 2 tables and not wipe them down (he apologized and wiped them down after). I canceled my food order and paid for my two sodas. They were very nice about it, so extra star for not being rude to me but the owner really needs to have this place deep cleaned and make some updates. I remember coming here to the grand opening and really loving it here. We often visit the one in Smithfield and it's clean and food always delicious. I felt bad but I'm a little OCD (I'm a nurse) and have had food poisoning in the past. If the common areas are dirty I worry what the kitchen looks like.

Had to drive back to the restaurant to get my issue resolved. That alone wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the high cost and low quality of the food. $34 for two 6" steaks, a brownie and a can of coke. However, the 6" steaks were cut on an angle, so there was only about 3" worth of steak meat on the roll. I ordered one beef and one chicken, and the meat was so charred and blackened I couldnt tell the difference. Thank god for the huge amount of cheese they put on it, otherwise I'm not sure it would have been edible. Certainly not worth the price paid. $10 in Philly would get you a large steak overflowing with beef.

Story Time: My roommate Relena had her 20th birthday…read moreyesterday. I promised her we could go out for pizza and hang out on Sunday. When I suggested she pick her favorite style and I'll pick a place from there, she confessed she didn't know the difference between the styles. Always an educator, I asked her to describe her ideal pizza. She liked thin crust, not a lot of sauce and crispy crust. I figured she either liked New Haven or NY and after a few follow up questions, we decided NY was probably what she likes. For me, my go-to NY pizza place is Fellini. I love the Providence location for walk up slices, but because we were planning to sit down with a whole pie I took us to the Pawtuxet Village location instead. The freshly fallen snow turned everything into a beautiful winter wonderland and that was no different for the awning outside the restaurant. The inside was cozy and warm. We were greeted by our server and sat quickly. With Relena being the guest of honor, I had her pick the toppings. But because she picked pineapple and olives, we decided to make half of it pepperoni The pizza never takes long at Fellini's. It promptly arrived at our table and we wasted no time digging in. The toppings are always generous here, they really give you your bang for your buck. The pepperoni was extra greasy today but I didn't mind that so much. As always, Fellini's delivered. Crisp and chewy crust with great flavor. A balance of sauce and cheese. Even with overloaded toppings, it never seems like too much. I even dared to try the pineapple olive slice and was pleasantly surprised not only by the taste but by the bake of the crust. Normally with a moist topping like pineapple the crust is damp and sometimes soggy. But not here. Still crisp with every bite. It wasn't long before 3 of us inhaled the pizza and it was time for the check. I noticed that Fellini's only charges you half the topping price when it's only on half the pizza. While I'm sure most of you are thinking "duh" I have found most places charge you full topping price per topping even if it's only on half. Just another reason why I love this spot so much. While Fellini's has been a staple in RI for some time, a lot of people think it hasn't been the same since the original owner sold. Let me tell you, I used to work for the old man and later worked for his son. I have eaten at Fellini's for almost 20 years now and that pizza hits every time. If you haven't been to the Cranston location, I highly recommend it as a great date night or family meal spot. Oh, and it got a 10/10 from the roommate!

There's a bar area with TV to watch the game or whatever, a cozy rustic indoor dining area, a quick eat-and-go area without servers where you can grab a slice and eat it and a really nice outdoor seating area with heaters. So many options! The pizzas have inventive toppings and a very NY-Style thin crust. You can also get whole wheat crust which I love. There are tons of veggie options too. Truly something for everyone! Only one word of caution - they tend to cook their pizzas pretty dark - so if you aren't into that be sure to let them know. One time we got a pizza that was totally black in the bottom. The server was gracious about it and they remade it for us. Their sangria is strong! And their salads are huge. Definitely don't forget an appetizer and drinks.

Everything about this place rocks…read more The base menu has some of my favorite go to items, but they're constantly keeping the lineup fresh with creative new rotations. While I can't say I've absolutely loved all of the seasonal specials that come out of the kitchen, they hit the mark enough times to keep me coming back to try the new ones. Servers are friendly, capable, and food comes out quick. I've probably been 30+ times and never am disappointed.

After reading the stellar reviews, we decided to try CHOMP Kitchen and Drinks on Mother's Day…read more Since it was late, we ordered dinner to go. We both ordered the Classic Smash Burger, one with cheese and one without. Unfortunately, both burgers were utterly tasteless, with virtually no seasoning detected at all. The Chomp Sauce that was supposed to elevate the burger was so sparse it barely made an appearance, leaving the burgers bland. Honestly, the bun was the best part. The brussel sprouts I ordered also lacked flavor and seasoning aside from the char, and his Cajun fries were so salty they were nearly inedible. After driving from Massachusetts to Rhode Island as a special Mother's Day treat, it ended up being a very disappointing experience, especially given the overwhelmingly positive reviews. We may have caught them on an unusually busy night, but unfortunately our meals fell far short of our expectations.
