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.

We really enjoy their square pizza cooked well done. It's good next day as left overs too. I think the pizza sauce has changed recently. The last time we ordered a take away Ceaser salad, I think it may have been a kit with tiny croutons and packet dressing. We had visitors and ordered several items including pasta with just parmesan cheese one guest requested. We added butter and they loved it! Ordering online gives you the option to add or remove items and leave special instructions. They have limited seating inside. Most business is take away. Plenty of parking. Not sure if they have a public restroom. Restaurant is clean and wheelchair accessible.

West Warwick was built by people who went to work…read more Before it was even a town, it was a collection of mill villages along the Pawtuxet River. Textile mills went up, jobs followed, and neighborhoods grew around them. Those mills don't define West Warwick anymore, but they left something behind. This is still a blue-collar, remarkably parochial town. People grow up here and stay here. They buy the house down the street from their parents. Sometimes the one next door. Sometimes they never leave the house they grew up in. That shapes who and what survives here. West Warwick has never needed the newest restaurant concept or trendy ingredient everybody suddenly discovered six months ago. They don't need tweezers to arrange their lunch or a paragraph on the menu explaining where everything on the plate was "sourced" from. Nobody here needs their lunch explained to them. Keep it simple. Make it good. Make it right. Give people their money's worth. They'll decide if you're worth coming back to. Bill's Place West Warwick has been getting that answer right since 1974. Bill and Kiki Melanis migrated from Greece in the 1970s. They worked with family members in the pizza business before opening a place of their own. Seven tables. Fifteen stools. A small menu of pizza and grinders. That's how Bill's Place started. Fifty-two years later, I ce for lunch and ordered two things that would have made perfect sense on that original menu. A meatball grinder and a 10-inch pepperoni pizza. The grinder came cut in half on a plain plate. The meatballs are a house family recipe, sliced rather than left whole, tender and juicy, covered with sauce and melted mozzarella. When I pulled the halves apart, the cheese followed. No garnish. No little metal basket. No attempt to make a meatball grinder anything other than what it was supposed to be. It was just really good. Then the pizza arrived. Bill's offers three sizes, a 10-inch, a 16-inch large and an 18-by-12 square. I went with the little guy. Ten inches. Pepperoni. The top looked right immediately. Cheese browned across the surface. Pepperoni curled into little cups, crisp around the rims, each one holding its own little pool of oil. Pepperoni as God intended. Then I turned over the first slice. That bottom. Dark brown and gold from edge to edge. Blistered. Crisp. Oil and pan heat had put an almost fried surface across the entire thing. That's where you could see the care. Greek pizza looks simple. Dough goes into an oiled pan, sauce and cheese go on top, and the whole thing goes into the oven. Cook it wrong and you know immediately. This was cooked right. The bottom crunched. The edge crunched. Inside, the dough stayed light and soft. The sauce had enough flavor to stay present beneath the cheese. And the pepperoni contributed exactly what those little cups promised. A little crunch and a little heat. And grease. Good grease. The kind that ends up on your fingertips and requires a napkin, not an apology. While I ate, I kept noticing the interactions. The servers were young. Teenagers, maybe very early twenties. But when they stopped at the tables, the conversations weren't young. They knew the orders. They knew the families. They knew enough about what had happened since the last visit to know what to ask about this time. That's different from good service. That's familiarity. That's belonging. And in West Warwick, that carries a ton of weight. Fifty-two years of people coming through the door. Parents bringing kids. Kids growing up, becoming regulars, then bringing kids of their own. Maybe that's the best measure of a great neighborhood restaurant. Not how long the doors have been open. How many generations have contunued walking through them.

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.

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!
