Then for $.75 extra, I added hot cherry pepper relish. The meats were decently tender, and not chewy, but they all lacked flavor. More grilling or marinade could've been used.

Charging an extra $.75 each for lettuce, tomato, olives, cucumbers, pickles, etc. Really? That's absurd.

We didn't get any adult beverages but I was very tempted by the entire drink menu, so next time! Our service was also outstanding. Really everything was A+.

The staff is super nice and attentive. It's an open layout and from what I could see, a well stocked bar. We got the jerk chicken w/honey wings to start which were SO GOOD! They aren't breaded or fried, which I like. Flavorful, hot and tender. I highly recommend them. I got the oxtail with rice and pinto beans. The portion was average but the flavors were spot on. Nice sauce and tender braised meats. My friend let me try her jambalaya, it wasn't like any I've had before, that's not saying it wasn't tasty it was just.... Lighter?! For lack of a better word. For having chorizo in it, I was surprised that it wasn't a heavier rice dish. It was something I would order because of that factor, however. It had nice subtle seasonings that highlighted the proteins in the dish. Very good imo. We got the churros for dessert and do me they fell short. They were dense and I overly "sugared". We weren't rushed and got to enjoy our visit and food at our own pace. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. They had a full smoked BBQ menu in addition to the main menu, which intrigued me. Drop in and give it a try. It's not cheap but I feel worth the money and the portions, as I said, as average sized. I feel if they upped the cost $1 or $2 and beefed up the portions they may get a bigger crowd for that area. All in all def try it out. Cheers!

Never in a million years would I think that I'd be rating a corporate chain 5 stars ... however, as…read morea frequent visitor to Rhode Island, I have not found many sub shops of note. I needed a quick sandwich when I found myself in East Greenwich, RI visiting a friend and he recommended this place. "Are you sure there isn't somewhere more ... local?", I asked. "Trust me. You'll like it.", he said. The subs here aren't cheap. $10 - $12 for a 'regular sized' sub ... and $18 - $20 for a 'huge' sub. The regular sized sub is smaller than most local sub shops by about 1/4. I was a little disappointed when I saw the size vs. the price. After finishing it, honestly, I think I could have eaten 1/4 more and been full vs. feeling like I needed a little something else after finishing the 'regular'. It's hard to describe the size here ... I'd say it's in between a small and regular-size anywhere else. The actual sub was fantastic. I did the Mike's Way Italian Sub, minus onions, add pickles. They slice the cold cuts by hand for each sub ... which means they are not dry ... but, keep in mind that, unlike Subway, where subs are made quick but the ingredients have been sitting out all day ... these taste like the ones in NJ where it is unheard of not to slice the meat fresh. It does take some extra time ... so be prepared to wait if there is a line. I went into the store and there were 2 people ahead of me. I was in and out in 15 minutes ... kind of a long time for 2 subs, but the quality was indicative of the care in preparation. The cold cuts here were flavorful and the lettuce was crisp and fresh. The bread was good ... not overwhelming from a taste perspective and allowed the cold cuts to be the star of the show. The veggies tasted fresh and aside from being a little too wet with oil and vinegar for my liking, it was one of the better Italian subs that I've had. Their rewards program is complete trash! It is impossible to figure out ... you have all kinds of sign-in issues ... and the first time discount coupon of 10% off didn't work. Eventually, after waiting for 20 minutes to order and have my subs made, I told them to forget about it and ate the 10%. Two subs came to over $20 ... and drinks were almost $4 each ... so Two subs and two sodas was around $32 with tip/tax. For this reason, I probably wouldn't return here too often. If you are looking for a fresh tasting sub with better than normal ingredients, this is your spot! Danny DeVito must be laughing all the way to the bank because I see these shops everywhere lately! They are trying to be the In N Out burger of the sandwich world ... and succeeding a little bit. The staff was competent but not at all what I'd call friendly or cheerful. I guess that's maybe a true NJ vibe?

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.

I have read good reviews about the place and it is unique in that it is Yemeni/Mediterranean. I did take out and chose the following: Okra Stew, Chicken Shawarma Over Rice Platter, and a slice of the Pistachio cake. The Okra Stew was very flavorful. I do not eat okra but my husband does, yet I tried the sauce and it was really tasty. I ended up eating a few pieces of the potatoes and carrots in the stew, just to enjoy the sauce. The Chicken Shawarma was okay--not my best order. The chicken is not dry yet the rice was very greasy for my taste. Every spoonful, I could taste the grease. It was not for me. The pistachio cake is delicate and scrumptious. Not too sweet. I might go back and try another dish but would make sure to ask that the rice not be greasy.
