Stopped into Grainsley's for the RI Food Fights pizza challenge and ordered the Taste of Italy pub pizza. This had meatballs, sausage, and ricotta. The service was great. I sat at the bar. I felt very welcomed and bit people behind the bar checked on me and kept my glass filled. The pizza was really good. You have a choice of pub style or NY style. I went with the pub style (I bit thicker and the toppings to the edge). It was very good. The restaurant has tables but the bar is where it's at! I went at dinner time on a Thursday and there were some regulars and some people in for the challenge. The bar is very nice with a granite top. It was clean with an upscale feeling. Not a bad place to go with friends and grab a beverage and a pizza or the other pub fare they serve.
We've been here a couple of times and the pizza is really good! Last night we got the meat lover's pizza and a build your own pizza with tomatoes, ricotta, and basil. Both pizzas had generous toppings, a crispy crust, and toppings nearly all the way to the edge. We've always gotten the pub style smalls, but someday soon I'd like to try the NY style larges. Last night when we arrived at about 6:30, the bar was hopping, and several of the tables in the dining room were occupied. Our server was also the bartender, and even though she was obviously really busy with both roles, she did an amazing job. Our drink order was taken promptly and the drinks were both delicious - Cranberry Mule and a Toto's & Cran. Our server told us that Wednesdays is half off on wings and that Grainsleys wings ad won awards from RI Food Fights, so we decided we needed to try them. The 1 lb order of buffalo wings included 6 wings with ranch or bleu cheese (we got both) and they lived up to the recommendation! Sauce was delicious - it wasn't just your average Frank's red hot - it had more seasonings and flavor. Atmosphere is really nice and comfortable as well. There are tables near the windows which will seat 4-6, and also a few tables in the center of the dining room that can comfortable fit about 6 as well. In addition to the bar seating, there is also a comfortable couch that would be great for two people enjoying drinks. A great place for food and drinks if you happen to be in the Warwick area!
Grainsley's is handling the Lord of the Pies differently than most places. The logical move is to offer a basic cheese or pepperoni, keep it small, keep costs manageable. Grainsley's went the other direction. Choose your style. Bar pie or New York. Any ten inch pie. Any toppings you want. They're not interested in showing you the budget version. They want you to see what they actually make. The room feels right. Lighting low enough to be comfortable without crossing into that territory where you're using your phone as a flashlight to read toppings. You can settle in without feeling like you're on display or sitting in a cave. The service delivered. People who paid attention, helped when needed, smiled, seemed like they wanted to be there. No fake enthusiasm, no ignoring you until the check comes. Just great hospitality. We got two pies. Meat lovers as a bar pie. Tour of Italy on New York style. They came out together. The bar pie nailed it. Thin with structure. Crispy without turning brittle. The toppings were impressive. Pepperoni brought a bit of heat and a bit of tang. Sausage added fennel and richness. Bacon contributed smoke and salt. As soloists, each one was delicious on its own. But with every bite they worked together as a band, each element complementing the others instead of competing. Tour of Italy shifted the equation. The New York style crust had more body, more chew, good color on the bottom. Those ricotta dollops scattered on top cut through everything with a creamy mildness that balanced the heavier flavors underneath. The sausage and pepperoni played their parts, but the ricotta changed the dynamic entirely. Made it lighter somehow while still being substantial. The ten inch size hits the sweet spot. Big enough to share without turning into a competitive eating situation. Small enough that nobody's tapping out halfway through. Smart call for a pizza crawl like this. Offering both styles shows real confidence. Most places commit to one approach and perfect it. Grainsley's is willing to let you choose and believes they'll execute either one well. That's not overconfidence, it's capability. Four pizzas deep, this spot registers differently. Quality ingredients, kitchen that knows what it's doing, space that lets you relax, and top notch service. They didn't water down their offering for the competition. They show you what they actually make. They make happy customers. Definitely worth coming back when you're not trying to eat six pizzas in one day. We will.
Good Pizza - Not Bar Pizza Small place, intimate vibe, small bar with some high tables and booths around. We ordered 2 items here wings and pizza. The wings were cooked right (crispy) but had a strange homemade buffalo sauce that we didn't really care for. The second item was a supposed "bah" pizza. Now, I will preface that my wife and I have gone to basically every south shore bar pizza making establishment in Massachusetts. Probably been to over 50 spots and all of the places considered institutions. This is not bar pizza. It is a small regular pizza. The dough is not your typical pie like dough with the laced crunchy edge and fry like consistency of a SSBP. We know this because there is no way to lace the edges of this dough. That is not say that the pizza wasn't good. I thought it was tasty and would order again, but it's not SSBP. Overall, this spot is ok and hope the best from them as a small business to do well. The real shining light here was the service. We were treated extremely well and the young lady that served us was more than attentive. We were greatly appreciative. If we're in the area we'll probably stop back in. Thanks
Decided to go on an impromptu picnic to Conimicut Point Park last night and looked up food in the area. The reviews for this restaurant looked promising, so we opted for the small hot honey pizza and an order of fries. Fries were fresh, pizza was greasy- maybe the pepperoni/ honey combination was the culprit. I would go back a second time to try a different pizza before knocking it. The staff is friendly, and the vibes of the restaurant are pretty chill. I could see how this would become a go-to pub place for people that live in the area. On street parking only!
A very good pizza. Kind of a hybrid between bar style and ny style. Crust had a differnt, but good texture. Friendly people and street parking only.
Everything we ate was incredible and their bar pizza is some of the best pizza I've ever eaten! It's not too thin like a flatbread, has a little flop and the dough itself is so tasty because I believe bar pie has some butter in it. For myself, I ate one Taste of Italy pizza $14 and one buffalo chicken $12. Both were delicious and I love the smooth ricotta along with tasty meatball chunks on the Taste of Italy. Then you can't go wrong with buffalo chicken pizza, but I do have to say they needed to put more chicken on it. Taste of Italy had enough meat. My brother got their Angry Hawaiian pizza ($14) and gave me a few slices. The taste was incredible and it wasn't too spicy - the buffalo chicken pizza had more heat to it. My brother also got their Cajun chicken wrap ($13) and his girl got a chicken Caesar wrap ($13). They looked so good, filled well, not dry and weren't too small. They did say they love them. Very casual atmosphere and the staff were extremely friendly. My only con, besides the lack of chicken on the buff pizza, was this place has no cell phone service. I'll be back for sure - $10 for a cheese pizza? I'm in.
Great food drinks and service! Love it there. The prices are reasonable! Awesome place to unwind
RI Lord of the Wings winner? Oh yeah we need to give it a try since it was one of the few places we didn't not make it to during competition. The smell when you walk in... tantalizing! The environment- cozy. I love when tables are paired with benches or couches. Also, how can you go wrong with Biggie in the bathroom? (Answer: you can't.) The menu: basic but has enough options for most people. Our split order: Garlic parm wings Bacon pizza Chicken ceasar salad wrap Let's get into these 'award winning' wings- Not my winner! Even after eating them- not my winner. They had the sauce smothered on top. I like a sauce baked into them. They were not as crispy as I like them. Not even at meaty as other places in the competition. I was not blown away by these wings. They were ok. Also, not the best garlic parm sauce. Could be better. The wrap needed more dressing but it was hearty. Chock full. The pizza is the winner here. Bar pie. Could be cooked more. My daughter had a pepperoni pizza. The pepperoni pizza looked the best out of the three pizzas on the table. I have to say their pizza fell a little short since I just had Smitty's recently and their bar pie is way better.
Went here for #rifoodfights #lordofwing tour for 2025. Took suggestion of owner for combo of buffalo and garlic parm sauces, did not disappoint. Wings were cooked well, and sauced very well. Had great conversation with owner at bar about all things food. Great local spot that has great food. Make your way there!!
Okay, people, you need to find this place and get there ASAP. Talk about a hidden gem, this it, you'll come back and thank me later. The location is superb and the location itself is clean and very inviting. As you walk in you can see the chef hard at work freshly preparing food for their guests. You have a small dine area, much like your local pizza shop, but the real prize is to the left, their bar area. Beautiful bar top that a lot of love was clearly poured in to. Couple cozy high tops call you out begging you to sit and enjoy a cocktail. High Top or Bar is not for you? Don't worry they have booth seating as well. Cocktails? These guys know what their doing and you're sure to be blown away by their crafting skills. I recommend their cranberry mule, you'll thank me, do it. The food? Well, that is certainly the champion here. Everything is prepared fresh, homemade marina sauce, fresh dipping sauces, pizza sauce, name it and it's fresh. Their pizza is a pub/bar style pizza and it is EPIC. People need to try this pizza, if you do, you will be hooked. Is it bad to dream about pizza? Asking for a friend. They are all incredible. Cheese, extra crispy is off the hook. Meatball, don't mind if we do. Hamburger/onion, could eat it all day long. And, you have to throw in some boneless wings, garlic Parm wings are phenomenal as well as their bourbon barbecue and barbecue. Trust me on this, food is spectacular. The service is tremendous. Courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. Just wonderful And, in these times should noted, they are very conscientious about following all Covid 19 protocols and social distancing regulations. The owner, Dan, opened during a tough time, right when Covid hit and he and his staff have worked diligently and tirelessly to bring this experience to their guests. They deserve support, trust me, you'll be hooked, so why are you waiting? Take out is always an option too.

Great place to grab a bite to eat! It's a cute restaurant and we enjoyed their garlic parmesan wings, buffalo chicken and pepperoni pizza and fries! Their blue cheese and honey mustard is good too! The mozzarella triangles were ok but we felt the sauce and breading seemed sweet. I do love that a lot of stuff is homemade! I liked that we could do half and half on a pizza. Also, had a Moscow mule and beers which were good. We went on a Thursday and were seated right away. The restaurant was clean and nice! Service was okay, I think they were short staffed. Also, our mozzarella triangles were the last items to arrive which was odd. Overall, we enjoyed the everything and would certainly come back! read more

1st time there and really hoping this place was good as there are pretty much zero places with good food in Warwick. We ordered takeout and got the meatball sausage and ricotta pizza, a chicken parm sub with fries and a Caesar salad....salad was good and we liked the dressing. The chix parm was sloppy and soggy. Is that the bottom of my sub roll or a floppy flip flop? also completely under seasoned, like they just breaded it without seasoning the chicken (big pet peeve, how hard is it to throw some salt and pepper on that bad boy?) sauce was sweet really sweet! again.... no salt? The pizza was not much better. Same sauce and not much flavor aside from the sausage. Crust was too thick for bar pub pizza and doughy.....oh the fries were probably good when they were fresh but I had a 10 min ride home and they were not great by the time I ate them. Real bummer. read more

Tried Grainsley's tonight after it being recommended by so many friends. They EXCEEDED expectations! The environment is super welcoming and cozy. The seats were a mix of comfy couches and chairs which were so comfortable. Everyone working was super friendly and attentive. My boyfriend and I ordered the mozzarella triangles for an appetizer and they were amazing! We were told to get them by everyone and honestly they were the best mozzarella triangles we have ever had. We also ordered the boneless honey mustard wings which I highly recommend! Our favorite sandwich was the Cajun chicken wrap- it was warm and perfectly spicy. Another favorite of ours was their Ranch dressing- not sure if it's homemade or not but either way it was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend Grainsley's for anyone in the mood for some high quality pizza or grinders! Will definitely be back! read more

We ordered for the first time last night. Everything was excellent. Delicious pub style pizzas that were perfect for either 1 or even 2 people. The fried oreos were the best we've had in the area. They stayed crisp even after traveling back home and while we ate our food. One of our friends said the wings were the best take out wings he's ever had. The homemade sauces & dressing were phenomenal. In all we ordered 4 pizzas, fried oreos, wings, boneless wings, chicken ceasar salad, and the BBQ fries. My one critique would be the fries didn't keep well. However, that's not unusual for loaded fries, it happens with the cheese coagulating. They were still good! read more
