I love Pizza J ~ the pizza, the vibe, the pinball machines, watching Bob Ross on the in-house tvs. They don't always have slices though and sometimes a slice is all I need. read more

Some really really delicious pizza going on over here. Pizza J is a spot my vegan friend recommended, for good reason! I absolutely loved everything we had, but the seitan wing things were my favorite. stellar job. The vegan buffalo chicken pizza was a showstopper. Service was friendly (if not overly friendly) and we had a great time. The place itself is cool. Arcade-y, neon, smells incredible, I would love to be back. I wish they were closer to Boston!!! read more

Consistently one of my fave pizza joints in Providence. Fun Atmosphere, and spacious, and has pinball! Cmon!! Pinball, people!! How great is that ? The pizza here is pretty large and always expertly made kind of in the NY style but with its own twist. My faves are the Roni( classic pepperoni pie) and the Strutter (sausage, onion and red pepper). Last time I was there I changed it up and got the King Tidal (bacon, pineapple and scallion) and it was killer. Also don't sleep on their wings. They are smoked instead of just fried and are out of this world. Cocktails here are no slouch either. Which you might not be expecting from a pizzeria. I recommend the bicycle operator. They also have a pretty extensive beer and cider list, if that is more to your liking. All in all, Pizza J is a must try pizzeria in a city that has a ton of great pizza places. read more

Pizza J is the coolest spot with pin ball machines everywhere! The menu is great with tons of options too. I had a vegan pizza and one of my friends had a pizza with meat and cheese on it. It's great that there is something for everyone. My friend is from New York and will always pick this spot to go to for pizza. read more

Fantastic pizza spot that has trivia nights, pinball machines, and just a really fun vibe. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and all the ingredients, and helped us make any modifications we needed for our food allergies. They also have an entire vegan menu, and we were very appreciative about how accommodating and accessible they were. We split some garlic fries (with a sub of vegan aioli) and one pizza (love that they could do half and half). We got a half of the Strutter (sausage and peppers) and half of the Neurotic Sasquatch (BBQ chicken), and both were fantastic. Really happy with our dinner here, and would love to try more pizzas! read more

I swear everything the owner touches is awesome! Came here for Lord of the Wings and wow what a great SMOKED wing! Yes that's right! Juicy full of flavor, fresh! One of the only smoked wings I've had in the challenge and definitely one that would be hard to beat. But the pizza WOW! Huge pie, thin crispy no flop! I could have eaten the whole thing on my own embarrassingly enough. Full of toppings definitely a popular spot! The waiter was so kind and hospitable, if every restaurant had him there would never be a complaint on service. Love the quirks of the place! The pinball machines and arcade vibes but also the old school music and classics on the projector. Highly recommend checking out this spot read more

This place was a great find. Pinball machines, to the music, to bob ross on the tv (happy trees= happy me) The pizza half Rita and half Good Carma so good. The garlic fries out of this world and the garlic knots amazing. The service was awesome, Jona the bartender so helpful and knowledgeable. Gave us recommendations for more local favorites, that I plan to check out. The whole vibe was great, busy on Monday, what does that tell ya. I will be back to try more of the selections. read more

I absolutely love Pizza J! Solid, classic, and consistent NY style pizza with great crust. They accommodate half and half toppings at fair prices and they also have delicious smoky wings (I like the sweet Thai chili sauce on the side)! Cute spot to eat in with a hip and quirky vibe from the decor to the pinball machines and themed bathrooms... and friendly service! I usually call ahead for takeout but when I dine-in the cocktails are awesome. My favorite pizzas are The Strutter, The King Tidal, and the Roni. They also have a convenient parking lot with extra street parking as well. read more

I had a killer late-night gluten-free pizza here a few weeks ago. I got the "Mr. Potato Head" pizza (potatoes, mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, garlic, black pepper, garlic aioli, scallions, & I requested to add sausage) on gluten-free dough. I was a little skeptical of potato on pizza but oh.. my god. It absolutely smacked. It was exactly the carbo-loading I needed & the added sausage just sent it over the edge into legendary territory. Side note but I love that the GF pizzas are square ... Not only are they immediately recognizable & confirmable as GF, they also box up more easily. read more

Great experience, walked in on a Sunday right after opening. Everyone greeted. Us and we decided to sit at the bar. Excellent menu of signature cocktails, prepared perfectly. Ordered a cheese pizza which is a great value, hand tossed fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. The fries are a must. Each of the 3 times I've visited the fries are served hot and crispy, with just the right amount of salt. Scan for you menu and pay using your phone is also an option. Plenty of pinball machines and slice pies available if you want to stop in and grab a slice of the road. Great drinks, food and service. read more

A little slice of joy hidden in the small town of providence It was probably some of the best pizza I've ever had I highly recommend the margarita pizza and garlic knots the ambience was incredible pinball machines everywhere and felt very comfortable. I ordered takeout but for the little amount of time I was there the staff was kind helpful. read more

In a city filled with red sauce Italian joints and decades old pizza traditions, Pizza J throws the rulebook out and builds something completely original. Under spinning disco balls and the watchful eyes of vintage movie monsters, while Bob Ross quietly paints his happy trees on the TV above the bar, they're turning out serious pies without a serious attitude. The sauce here has something to say - tangy, herbed, refusing to play backup singer to the cheese. That crust manages to walk that line between chewy and crisp, the kind of technique that tells you someone in that open kitchen knows exactly what they're doing. Get the cheese slice - it's a chance to taste everything in balance. The pepperoni's a showoff, all cup-and-char bravado, muscling all of the other flavors off the stage. This is pizza for people who don't need their restaurants to look like museums. The pinball machines ping, the jukebox blasts Zeppelin, and nobody's pretending we are in Naples. My kind of joint. read more

Always a great stop. The pizza was great, we enjoyed a couple different specialty pizzas. One was carbonara style (thought it needed a little more seasoning) and one was various meats (my favorite). We also tried the wings, very good with a nice smoked flavor. The beer list was good as always. The service was great. Very informative and helpful. We always love the eclectic decor and various activities within (pinball, movies, etc.) read more

My favorite spot to grab a pizza and salad. It is so good. You can order online and grab it quickly. The staff is always really nice. I've never eaten in but they hah pin ball machines and it seems like a cool vibe. The house salad is pretty decent with a nice dressing. The greens and veggies are always pretty fresh. The Rita is our go to and it is fantastic every time. The crust is nice and the toppings are great, but their sauce is top notch. Definitely check it out! read more

Pizza J's is my son's favorite pizza place. It is eclectic with fun prints and paintings in the walls. If I had a place to put the Beetlejuice print - I would take it home lol The restaurant has multiple pinball games - which is so much fun! If you like craft beer, you are in luck, although they also have a full bar. Go in for a slice, a whole pie, or just to play some pinball, either way you will enjoy it. read more

These wings are everything you dream about when you hear the words "chicken wings". Crispy with just the right amount of crunch. Saucy? Just like my grandma after a glass of wine --bold, fun and unapologetic. Whether you go classic buffalo, sweet and tangy, or something that makes you question your spice tolerance, each bite is a perfect balance of heat, zest, and undeniable joy. It's not just the wings--it's the vibe. The energy at Pizza J is electric yet cozy, like that perfect house party where everyone, from families wrangling kids to couples on a chill date night to singles just vibing with their food, feels totally at home. The music's good, the crowd's happy, and the whole place radiates that "this is where you wanna be" feeling. Pair those wings with a cold drink, soak in the good energy, and prepare to have your taste buds (and possibly your self-control) tested. 10/10, would ruin a stack of napkins again. read more

Cool vibe inside. We got a large pepperoni pizza to go with sides of ranch and it was great.

We stumbled upon this amazing retro-styled pizza place last winter when our son wrestled for the state championship at the PCTA. The gluten free pizza was soooo good that we have ordered and picked up from there even though it's at least 30 minutes away. Last time I ordered the Arcimboldo but had it made with a white sauce. It was the perfect texture and tasted heavenly. The crimini mushrooms take it to a different level. If you are looking for an old school kick back and relax kind of pizza joint, this is your place. read more

1) this review is only about the wrings. I have had pizza here and it's good. the staff is friendly and professional. 2) but yesterday as a over 60 person I was served the worst wings I have ever had. they were so over cooked and dry I couldn't swallow them and had to get water over and over. 3) I don't know if this is a one off, or a chronic issue, but don't get the wings or be prepared to send them back until the kitchen does a better job. If I made them at home I'd have just tossed them in the garbage. the only reason I didn't do this was because it was part of a wings promotion. Honestly worst wings I have ever eaten read more

How have I never reviewed before ? We love pizza j and go fairly often. It's a fun atmosphere and def a place to hang for a bit. The staff is all super , always have had a great experience with them. They have a lot of craft beers you won't find anywhere else. Also lots of diff cocktails for those who don't drink beer. The menu is small but you can have so ain't diff kinds of pizza that you will find something for sure. Five of us split two pizzas and that was enough. We also had a bread pudding that was sooo good. They have delicious garlic Fries also that we didn't get this time and I'm sad we didn't. Going to have to go back. This is a wonderful local spot and I highly recommend ! read more

We've stopped to grab good slices to go several times, but this stop with RI Food Fights Lord of the Wings contest showed us another side of this fun place. We settled in to try the wings & really enjoyed the atmosphere. Pinball tables & bright artwork add to the fun. The smoky hot wings were fantastic - Crispy, tasty & spicy. The beer list was fantastic! It was hard to settle one. A Parthenon sweet stout proved a perfect foil for the wings. An order of parmesan garlic fries was addictive. We couldn't stop nibbling on them. Pizza J is definitely more than just good slices! Now we know. read more

A great spot for the vegans in the family. The vegan pizza hit the spot. The crust is definitely top 10. Tried the vegan wings and the sauce was great but we wish it had been baked/fried with the wings in the cooking process. We'll definitely come back in future visits to PVD. (Also, shout out to our waitress who had to hold the whole seating area down by herself alone.) read more

Delicious thin crust pizza place in the Fed Hill neighborhood! First things first there's a couple parking spots out front which is nice! The ambiance is very casual and cool with lots of retro touches!! Originally came with some friends to grab some pizza to take home, but they told us the wait was around 1 hour when we got there around 7pm on a Wednesday night. So we opted to dine in as they said the wait may be closer to 30 minutes if we dine in! SO in the future if you're looking to get take out from this place, I would definitely call ahead at least an hour beforehand :) Regarding the food, I enjoyed it! The Tony Clifton was actually surprisingly my favorite pizza!! It's a vegetarian pizza, which I typically don't go for, but the flavors were all so great and meshed well! We also got their take on the Haiwaiian which I usually love but it wasn't as good as I had hoped because the pineapple pieces were pretty small and thin so the flavor did not come through as much. I also thought the crust came out to be a little dry. However, overall, I would come back if I'm craving any thin crust pizza with fun toppings :) read more

Went there with the family for the first time last weekend . What a great place !!! Was not expecting it to be as fun/good as it was !!

I've ordered takeout from here several times. I've tried both the Arcimboldo and the cheese with pepperoni pizzas. Both were really good; they had a thin crust and a flavorful tomato sauce. I particularly like how they make the crust. I'm not a fan of crispy crusts. Overall, it's been a very good experience. read more

I visited as part of #RIFoodFights #LordoftheWings competition and this was my first time trying their chicken wings. They're famous, of course, for their pizza which is delicious, so I wasn't sure what to expect on the wings. They were quite interesting and very yummy. They were smoked, but also very crispy, like they use a light batter on the wings. Limited but good variety of draft beer available. The wings make for a good appetizer, but the pizza is still the star of the show at Pizza J. read more

RI Food Fight Wing review: Don't order the wings! They are too smoked that it felt like I was licking ash. My chicken wing loving husband never leaves a wing behind. We walked away leaving 4 wings to be thrown out. BUT- EAT THE PIZZA! We went with pepperoni. It's good. The food fight coupon brought us in but we will now be customers. Love the atmosphere- eclectic. A mish mash of nostalgia and hip. Goonies was playing on the tv. The music was pushing out classic hits (I walked out rocking to wearing sunglasses at night.) The pinball machines were on par with the theme. When a place has a black toilet- they be fancy. I just like the vibe here. Oh- and if you check in on Yelp here, you get a coupon for a high five. This made me laugh and we did cash it in! My 2 year old got a solid high five from our waiter. True rating: 3.5 (Can't wait to try more here) Bring ones for the pinball! read more

Initially went to pizza J for take out but they let us know that the wait would be over an hour! So we decided to stay. The waiter was very friendly and gave me a " high five" as part of the Yelp free deal! The restaurant has a rather goth/ skater boy look but the ambiance was still nice! The pizza was delicious. As a vegetarian, the only one I could eat was the " Tony Clifton" pizza with ricotta! The combination of ingredients made for a delicious blend of flavors with every bite! The only negative feedback I have is regarding the crust, which I felt was a bit too thick. Other than that, still loved the meal! read more
