Moving Dough lives in a converted house in Barrington, with a flag out front and Christmas lights…read morestrung up in the windows. Red bows, string lights wrapped around the frames. Inside, red ladder-back chairs, blonde wood tables, a pop art pizza slice on the wall. Paper plates. No cups, even though they sell 2-liter bottles with those 20 ouncers. It's really, at its heart, a nicely appointed takeout spot. A small space, maybe 20 seats, but friendly, the guys throwing the pizzas talked with us while they made pies. Easy, natural. Like being at someone's house. That's their food truck DNA showing through. Joey and Jay started making pizzas at backyard cookouts in 2021. Friends kept asking for more, so they bought a wood-fired truck. They blew up around Rhode Island and Massachusetts after that and opened this brick and mortar shop in 2023. We started with meatballs. Two of them in marinara with pecorino on top and fresh basil. These were exceptional. Tender, moist, herbaceous in the best way, seasoned like someone's grandmother taught them how. The sauce had real flavor, bright and rich at the same time. They were almost identical to Bettola's, which is high praise. Best meatballs I've had from a pizza place in months. I kept thinking these would be incredible in a sandwich or calzone. Then came the Sicilian pie. 16 by 12 inches, thick crust, split down the middle: half cheese, pepperoni, and olives; half grilled chicken. The crust showed serious color variation (gold to deep brown to char spots). That brick oven's running hot and nobody's micromanaging every inch. Look at the crumb structure in those cross-sections. Big, irregular air pockets. Wild shapes that only happen when time does the work. Not the uniform bubbles of rushed dough. Light, airy, crispy on the bottom, sturdy enough to hold whatever is on top. Golden brown undercarriage with real structure. In no way doughy like most Sicilians turn out. That 24-hour fermentation they talk about? It's real. You can see it. That light, airy structure leaves you full but not bloated. The pepperoni and olive side delivered. Good snap on the pepperoni, quality cheese melted perfectly, clean tomato sauce balancing sweetness and acid. Just fresh tomato flavor doing its job. The chicken side is where it gets interesting. Grilled chicken is the canary in the coal mine for pizza competence. It separates the pizza makers from the pizza fakers. Get it wrong and it's dried out on top or rubbery underneath because they don't understand that chicken needs to cook ON the pizza, not ahead of time. Moving Dough gets it. The chicken was moist, properly cooked, not dry or rubbery. They kept the cheese and sauce ratio the same as the other half, so a touch more sauce would've helped with moisture and flavor, but the fact that the chicken survived the oven tells you they know what they're doing. That's the New Haven DNA of the shop. The crust is a platform. Toppings get the spotlight. The sauce carries flavor. The cheese does its work. The crust holds it all together with that crispy foundation and doesn't compete. It works. I'd go back for those meatballs alone. But I also want to try their regular round pies, see what they do with The Hot Chick or The Tenderoni. Who goes to Barrington for pizza? Moving Dough puts it on the map.

10/10 recommendations for W's!…read more We hired Will and Kayla cater our engagement party and we couldn't have picked a better team. Their service was prompt and extremely personable. Our guests could not stop raving about their sauce (many of whom do not like red sauce!) and the different combinations they prepared. Our gluten free guests were beyond happy with their GF crust! They did such a knock out job that our guests were talking all about the food and not the September rain. If you are looking for a reliable and absolutely delicious pizza we highly recommend W's.

A recent delivery order means time to update and add a star. One of my previous complaints (and it…read morewas a personal preference really) was that their pizza was just too thick for me. We recently ordered again and tried their thin-crust pizza. Delivery was here in the time specified and the driver was courteous and friendly. Wow! this pizza was loaded with toppings. I got the Godfather, thin-crust, minus the olives. We both really enjoyed it. The pizza was overshadowed though by the ridiculous Greek salad we got. It was huge and really stacked with veggies, including artichoke hearts. We'll definitely be ordering again.

The kitchen staff is always super nice and walk everything out to you, especially when you're out in The Adirondack chairs overlooking the water. One thing that really stands out to me is the scalloped fries. I'm not sure of the science behind it, but the way they do it is incredibly good. Way better than the typical chip/french fry. Separate fryer as well for gluten sensitive folks and many options food wise as well. Check this place out if you haven't.

TLDR: A decent local pizza spot…read more When I came in, there was no one at the counter, and two other folks waiting. By the time I got to the counter, just a couple minutes past when my order was supposed to be ready, it needed more time. Was delayed about 10 minutes (and this is on a Wednesday). The seating area is nice enough but the place was soooo hot. Not sure if they hadn't turned the AC on yet for the season because it's April but I was sweating while waiting. Another thing to note is that, while they don't have garlic knots, they have a lot of other non-pizza options like pasta, bowls, chicken, and even burgers. Their pricing is on the higher side (1 XL with topping is about $24) but sometimes we get random coupons in the mail (like get 1 XL topping, get a free small cheese). The extra large is also not what I would consider extra large-- I would say it's more like a large. Similarly, the small is like a personal pizza.

Where to start, I only do "take out" here. The plus: Great…read morepizza! But, the cost has gone up so much, I can't afford this pizza unless I get two meals out of it. So, I started ordering my pizza with extra cheese. I would eat half and make the second half a second meal to justify the cost. This by far, was the best reheated pizza ever! But now it seems like they are skimping on the extra cheese. Way less extra cheese than in the past. I can feel the difference when I am carrying my pizza out. Reheating comes out dry and cardboardy. The negative, they close at 8:00pm during the week, and fairly early on the weekend, and most times when I go to order on-line, even at 7:00am, it says store closed, but I don't get that notification until after I enter my order and payment info on-line. I would probably order 3 times a week if they were open later. Papa Gino's, which I grew up with in MA, has gotten this missed business, and they take orders until 10:00pm during the week.

Nello's Pizza is a cozy atmosphere, family-run pizza place with the BEST buffalo chicken pizza…read moreEVER. I have yet to find a place that makes it better than Nellos. I first went here in 2015 and the pizza tastes the same as it did back then. The pizza is consistently good, with a crust that's just the right balance of crispy and chewy, plenty of cheese, and bold flavors. The location is in a parking lot that has plenty of free parking. The staff is friendly and down-to-earth, and you get the sense that they genuinely care about the food they're putting out. Great value for the price, especially considering the portion size and consistency. The quality is worth the wait, I promise you.

I had the osso bocco. It was a large portion , falling off the bone deliciously seasoned with a tasty spinach, grits underneath. I enjoyed every bite. I was sorry I couldn't eat it all! I shared some with others telling them how delicious it was. My friend ordered the bolognese entree which she says is the best she has ever had. Their eggplant parm sandwich was recommended as well. My husband had the shrimp fettuccine, also delicious. The kids like their chicken tenders. Hostess was friendly and sat us right away. Waiter was so nice. Took drink orders and brought everything out efficiently. Checked if we needed anything. He was great with the kids. When we complimented him on our food, he was pleased. It looks that the restaurant is adequately staffed so that the service is excellent. Ambience is good. Moderate noise but has a pleasant hum. Unfortunately, we were visiting so I don't get to dine there as frequently as possible. Prices are reasonable!

The way this restaurant treats potential customers deserves to be called out…read more The biggest problem isn't the food--I never even got the opportunity to try it. The problem is the complete lack of customer service and the dismissive attitude of the staff. This restaurant doesn't offer online reservations, so I followed the instructions on their voicemail exactly. I called before they opened, left my name, phone number, party size, and requested time as instructed. The message clearly stated that someone would call back to confirm the reservation. That call never came. Thinking it might have been an oversight, I called again after they opened. No answer. I called a third time. Once again, voicemail. We decided to take our chances and drove to the restaurant anyway. After standing at the entrance for several minutes while multiple servers walked past without acknowledging us, someone finally came over and asked if we had a reservation. I explained everything that had happened. Her response was, "Yeah, if you don't get a call back, you don't have a reservation." I replied that a call letting us know that would have been helpful since I had followed their instructions exactly. Her response? "Yeah, when you called we didn't have any tables available anyway." That simple statement summed up the entire experience. No apology. No acknowledgment that their reservation system had failed. No attempt to make things right. Just a shrug and an attitude that suggested our time didn't matter. If you know you can't accommodate a reservation, pick up the phone or return the call. If your voicemail promises a confirmation call, honor it. And if a customer shows up after doing everything they were told to do, the very least you can do is treat them with courtesy instead of indifference. My family lives in town, and we make a point of supporting local businesses. After this experience, this restaurant won't get another opportunity from us. There are WAY too many restaurants in town (actually several in the SAME PARKING LOT) to tolerate that treatment.
