Very good roast beef
401 B.

I would've gave it a five star if I wasn't comparing it to Kelly's but Kellys has the best roast beef I've ever had. This is definitely second-best very delicious. I saw someone tried to say that it was dry in the reviews. That is not true. It's absolutely delicious. They also are very friendly. Great customer service inside seems kind of dead so I would definitely check out this hidden gem. As for ambience. It's pretty small, but there are places to sit and a big flat screen TV to enjoy while you eat

Cheese pizza. Yum!
Richard F.

Ordered cheese and cheese and mush. Pizza has almost a pastry flakiness. Wife and I liked it and would go back if we were in the area. Friendly Greek-style owner (lol). Worth the trip. Pizza was thin, not crispy BUT very tasty.

Super beef sandwich with onion rings
Daniel Y.

So ever since the Kelly's Roast Beef closed their Natick, MA location. I've been on a quest to find closer establishments where I can enjoy quality fresh roast beef sandwiches. There's plenty out there but many just don't make the cut. So unfortunately with high hopes and expectations I ventured out to Papa's Roast Beef to give them a shot. Staff was good and friendly small pizza parlor. Few tables and while I was there, I noticed a table of 6 at a table. Not sure how long they've been there yet. So I ordered a super beef and onion rings. Similar order as my preferred choice so I can compare them equally. Waited about 15mins and it was obvious that the table of 6 was getting antsy because they've been waiting for 45 minutes as 1 of the gentleman was huffing about. I was like damn, I don't have 45mins to wait. The roast beef sandwiches was what the 6 other diners was waiting on. I had to agree with the other gentleman when he said this better be the best damn roast beef sandwich he's ever had for having to wait so long for it. Finally the sandwiches was making the way to the tables Mine included in that same batch so ultimately I did not have to wait as long as the others. Now the sandwich, which looked good but the roast beef was a little light (smaller portion)compare to other super beefs from other places. Barbecue sauce on the side, even with barbecue sauce, the sandwich did not taste right. The onion roll was grilled by the oil ring that shows around the outer edge but the center was crusty almost like it was dried out stale. It wasn't toasted because it was plain white no toasting marks. Other then the oil ring. Which produced a very unpleasant taste and texture to the sandwich. And the oil ring gave off a taste of really old stagnant oil. So I had to bring back to the counter and explained my issue and requested a different roll. So I get sandwich back with a plain roll which simply falls apart, as I'm trying to eat it. It was drying out as I'm holding it. The roast beef was a little dry and lacking in flavor. Onion rings was the frozen food service type. It was the battered version. Very crusty hard, definitely over fried even when I requested it to be on the light side. So I think if they use some "fresh oil or butter, even margarine to grill the rolls to warm an soften the rolls it'll compliment the roast beef and have a better product. The greasy onion rings should be replaced with a better product. So sad this is a closer location then the others so far.

This has to be the most unappreciated establishment in Smithfield, RI. Terrific food, excellent service, and they deliver! This is the affordable, quality delivery spot you are looking for right now. If you do your ordering in Smithfield RI, you know that you don't have a lot of great options. But, you'd be wrong. Papa's Roast Beef is a restaurant that has a little bit of everything and makes some of the best, most underrated pizza's, dinner's & sandwiches in the city. They're also absolutely enormous portions. You can probably share. My only suggestion to the owner is please put up a full website so we can view the menu updates, have another option to rave about every meal, and place our orders online. I also snagged a new menu! Enjoy!

I suggest coming during slower days for better food. It's a huge grinder and enough to split if you're getting other food items or apps. The house made chips are the best. Choose the chips over the fries every time. The bone in wings are better than boneless. Lots of meat on them. The boneless are more like bites. It's basically two chicken tenders cut into bites and fried. It's a very small amount of chicken for 14.50. They're tasty but just not enough to justify the cost. The pizza isn't my favorite. I think it's pretty popular but the cheese is a little too salty, weird texture. Just okay. I've had a few different kinds and the cheese is the culprit in the off taste. Skip the Italian food. This really is not an Italian restaurant. The chicken is tough and overcooked and the sauce wasn't great. Service is always amazing. It's a small family owned business and owners and staff are lovely. There is plenty of free parking.

There's another place in the hood of PVD that has pizza strips to DIE FOR lol so ya I'll risk it there lol. It's a lil bit on the salty side but overall decent. The spinach calzone could be more fulfilling with some olives and onions and perhaps more olive oil mixed in or to dip bc it was getting a bit dry and bland as you're eating it. On that note more than 1-2 slices of pepperoni coulda solved that issue! Otherwise it's decent if you're just looking for some "healthy" alternatives.

I placed my order ahead of time through DoorDash and when I arrived, the restaurant was pretty much empty. The associate was putting pizza boxes together, so I told him I was there for a pickup order. He seemed a little confused and it didn't seem like he was aware of the order. He went in the back, spoke with another employee, and there was a little back-and-forth before he came out and told me it would be ready in about seven minutes. Honestly, I got the feeling that my order hadn't even been started. I asked if it hadn't been started yet because, if that was the case, I was going to cancel it since I really didn't want to wait. He assured me the pizza only took about seven minutes to cook and would be out quickly, but he did admit that the order hadn't been started yet. That was a little frustrating because DoorDash made it seem like the order was already being processed and prepared. Clearly, there was some kind of disconnect between DoorDash and the restaurant. Once I actually got the food, the pizza was good and I enjoyed it. The wings, however, were just okay and definitely aren't something I would order again. Overall, the pizza was good, but the pickup experience was frustrating. I'd probably come back for the pizza, but I'd be a little hesitant to order through DoorDash again.

Giuseppe's Pizzeria and Bistro is upscale in the best way. Dark wood, brick floors, pendant lights over a small bar. The lights are dim but the room is inviting and intimate. When we arrived, it wasn't empty, wasn't slammed. Nothing felt rushed. Everything moved at the right pace, giving us time to talk, time to savor, time to just enjoy being there. Even after we paid, no one hurried us out. The room was filling up around us, but we never felt it. Fresh plates for every course. Water refilled when it emptied (not before we noticed, exactly when). Every time we said thank you, our server said "of course" like she truly meant it. The focaccia came out warm. Tear it open and you see irregular holes. That takes hours, not shortcuts. They bring whipped garlic butter because it spreads easier, but the bread's good enough alone. Four meatballs arrived, tender enough they fell apart as I tried to work them through the sauce. Took surgeon hands. Pool the red sauce on your plate or spoon some over the top of each bite. Without it, they're bland. With it, they're quite good. The pepperoni pizza came out right. Char on the crust, pepperoni curling into little grease cups, cheese stretching six inches on those first bites. The sauce is light. The crust ends taste a little like char and semolina. I'm a sauce guy. Always have been. This pizza wasn't what I look for, but the people around us all looked happy to be there and with their food. Giuseppe's making the pizza his customers want. Fruit crumble for dessert. Fresh blueberries and peaches, vanilla ice cream. I enjoyed the peach side more than the blueberries, which was unexpected. The peaches were a little less sweet. The blueberries? Really sweet. Fresh and enjoyable. Giuseppe's fills up for a reason. The service is the best I've experienced in months. People were taking their time, talking, enjoying everything that was in front of them. They seemed like they knew they were somewhere special. They got it right.

Disclaimer: I love Papa Gino's pizza. Not ironically. Not as some guilty pleasure I feel compelled…read moreto defend. I genuinely love it. The hand feel, the specific chew, the way the crust gives under your fingers. I could identify it just by touch, blindfolded in a lineup of a hundred pies. It's wired into me from countless visits over the last 30+ years, born in the taste of being young and hungry and not overthinking anything about quality, just taste and filling you up. So when I tell you that Pizzeria Romana, located right by the Lincoln Mall, is just like Papa Gino's dressed up for the prom, understand that I mean it as the highest compliment. This was a new stop this year on the Lord of the Pies circuit. We walked in with zero expectations. The space is warm without trying too hard. Black and white checkered tablecloths. Italian countryside murals on the walls. The staff greets you like they're happy you showed up, which is rarer than it should be. The cheese pizza is where this place reveals itself. Same Papa Gino's geometry: thin, sturdy, dependable. But elevated with ingredients that actually taste fantastic. The cheese blend brings provolone into the conversation, adding sharp, tangy notes that cut through the richness. Everything works. The crust has that holds its crispness on top, great chew in the middle, and just enough cornmeal texture underneath to remind you this thing came from a real oven. The pepperoni, though. It overwhelms. Too much salt, too much grease, too much of everything. It doesn't play well with others. It storms onto the plate and dominates, drowning out all those subtle cheese notes that made the plain slice sing. Stick with the cheese. Let the fundamentals do their work. What Pizzeria Romana understands, what Papa Gino's always understood, ipizza doesn't need to reinvent itself to be good. It needs good ingredients, technique, and the restraint not to screw it up with unnecessary flourishes. This is a nice neighborhood spot where you can bring a date or grab a pie with friends without pretension. The best thing a pizza can do is remind you why you fell in love with it in the first place. Pizzeria Romana does exactly that. Just hold the pepperoni.
