I've had some great pizza in my life and I've had many average slices but very rarely do you get a pizza that is so bad that you can't even eat it. Well, DownCity Pizza was terrible. I ended up throwing it in the trash. As you can see from my photos, the pizza and cheesy bread are both dry and burnt and not burnt in a fun coal fire or wood fired way... it's brick oven burnt. Also, not much cheese on the CHEESY bread or four CHEESE pizza. The chicken parm sandwich was the only redeemable part of my order and even that was below average. Lacking sauce and flavor. Even the staff seemed unenthusiastic and it showed in their product. There's seating inside but good luck finding parking in down city Providence. What a waste of fifty dollars.
Local spot not far from where I was staying downtown. Went around lunchtime so there were plenty of working class folks grabbing a bite to eat. The pizza was delicious, the personal size is 10 inches and perfect for a medium-sized lunch.
Had been meaning to try them for a while, but I don't like going to the city that much due to parking and other assorted headaches. But, I was at Freeplay a couple blocks away, as I made the trek over. A decent pizza, probably overpriced for what you get. Light on the sauce, but I'm still going to give them a positive review overall.
It met our needs, we were touring JWU and looking for a quick lunch. I had the eggplant Parmesan sandwich and my daughter had the chicken pesto sandwich. They were large sandwiches, so we both left full! It's a casual atmosphere and you clean off your table before you leave. Staff were friendly.
Their food is tasty and the order is always accurate. They have outdoor seating and space in the restaurant. The service is quiet and friendly staff!
The Margherita pizza I ordered was some bizarre salty concoction of what this pizza is supposed to be. See photo attached. It was also delivered cold and the business has done nothing to rectify the situation.
Very good gluten free pizza crust! It's cauliflower based and I got the chicken bacon ranch pizza. It was so good I forgot to take a photo until after I ate half of it
The food is absolutely amazing. The ambiance is great, service was amazing. The employees were kind, friendly, helpful, and loved on our pup outside. They even got our dog a bowl for water for her to drink outside while we ate at the outside patio. We enjoyed our time here everything we got tasted amazing. The chicken alfredo was delicious. The grilled chicken salad was awesome, the pizza outstanding. if you're in Providence, Rhode Island, you have to check out Down City Pizza and sandwiches it is worth it
Fantastic subs and great vibes! Perfect late night dinner after a show at the performing arts center down the street.
The service was fast and friendly here, I left with a very positive impression from that perspective. Our pizza was hot and right out of the over, certainly a good start. I just wish we liked the pizza more. One of our three ingredients was barely evident on the pizza, there were only a few mushrooms, and they were barely cooked. We also found the pizza to be doughy and chewy, which didn't appeal to us. And our pizza was supposed to be half mushroom and half meat, and that wasn't done correctly. The result wasn't good, nor was it terrible. So we thought this visit merited 3 a three-star rating.
Pizza, cheese bread and desserts were so good, we went three days in a row! The pizza crust and sauce were fantastic. Staff was super friendly!
I ordered for lunch on DoorDash for pickup. The restaurant had seating available and the cashier was nice. The Ceasar salad was so so good. The gyro was just ok - the chicken was lacking flavor and was a bit dry. The fries were really good though. Overall, should have probably tried something different as sandwiches and pizzas are their specialty. I would return and recommend.
Ordered from Ubereats. XL pepperoni and a spinach and cheese calzone. I was exhausted from work and just wanted a pizza. Did not expect it to be this good. Best pizza I've had since I was in Brooklyn a few months ago. If you like crispy NY pies, this is it. I like a crispy undercarriage but it was a tad burnt tbh, but overall so good I didn't care. Just a legit pie, well made with quality parts. Only other complaint was the XL looked like a large. I supposed they listed the inches but I didn't have my tape measure handy. The calzone was great, simple and well done. Haven't written a review in years but had to drop a 5 on this place bc it's criminally underrated on this app.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the pizza quality, good sandwiches, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The pizza was very run of the mill. $16 for a personal pan was a bit rich for my blood, especially because it was just okay. However the staff were very friendly and did a good job fixing an issue with my colleagues order. read more

We stayed at the hotel across the street and wanted an easy dinner to pick up and enjoy with wine in the lobby of the hotel with friends. We were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the pizza was. An unassuming space but don't let that fool you! The staff were helpful and friendly. We had 4 different pizzas - cheese, margarita, spinach and pepperoni. Each one was delicious. A quick run to the wine store down the street and you have a great night!! read more

Food and service were great. A small, casual, pizza/sandwich/pasta restaurant. The service was fast. The cheese calzone was thin, fresh, and larger than I thought it would be! My husband ordered the pesto pasta with chicken and he enjoyed it too, read more
