I like the atmosphere, much bigger inside then it appears. Went on a Friday night, wasn't steady not crazy, no wait. Service was very slow. Food was good, had the tempura, I thought the cauliflower and zucchini could have been cooked. Pizza was very good, crust was delicious, would defiantly go back. read more

Pizza J - Pizza is woth the wait if you want fresh! - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Great experience, pizza was tasty, host was friendly, and Mike was a personable and attentive server, definitely recommend!!

When i discovered this place i was so excited- gluten free vegan pizza! Gluten free beer! My wife and i decided to do a date night here and it was the most disappointing meal. They had no vegan cheese. How do you run out of vegan cheese when that's a huge part of your appeal? They made me a pizza with vegan ricotta, olives and i asked for light sauce. The "pizza" was totally burned, and literally had blobs if sauce on it. I took a bite and couldn't go further. Our waitress was great. Extremely apologetic and took the pizza off the check. My wife loved her seitan wings and her slice of pizza. We loved the atmosphere of the place and our waitress so we decided to give it another try. We made a reservation for ten on Super Bowl Sunday because we were told they'd have the game on the projector. We called to confirm a few days before and to change the number to 15. No problem. We also confirmed they'd have vegan cheese! Day of Super Bowl. We walked in and noticed the screen wasn't down. When asked about the game we were told it wasn't possible to project it :( That was the main reason we decided to host the party there. The place was empty but they seated us in the corner under the screens so half of our party couldn't see the game. :( Most of the group ended up squeezing into one table or moving to see the tv. We also had to ask them to turn the sound on when the game came on even though we'd been told it'd be on. A lot of our group wanted pepperoni pizza but they were out. They were also out of white sauce. I'm not sure why they run out of everything- I'd hope you'd plan better but it seems to happen a lot. My wife had the garlic fries which she didn't care for (but loved the aioli) and the seitan wings again. I had vegan gluten free pizza which was delish! Our waitress Michelle was great!! She split everyone's check and was extremely patient with our group. I'll definitely come back but will always call to confirm that what we're going to order is available and if we host another event it won't be an event where we're watching something on the TVs. A lot of our group was unhappy with the seating situation, and i have to admit it was embarrassing since the point of the party was to watch the SuperBowl. Maybe third times a charm? read more

I arrive and there was plenty of seating. I liked the decor, especially the picture of Richard Prior (classic). I went to the restroom and I must say I felt like the facilities were fit for a queen, or king....nice, spacious and clean. I ordered the seitan wings sweet Thai chili flavored. They were just okay, nothing to write home about. As I was sitting I asked for a straw....I hate it when waitstaff touch the drinking straw with their dare hands...disgusting! As I was waiting for my order I realized that all the staff made everything with their bare hands, fries, bowls, everything. I understand the pizza dough may need to be rolled out and tossed with bare hands, but I just can't . read more

These fine folks are the best. Curbside pick-up ordering was flawless and on time. Pizzas and garlic fries were piping hot and fresh. Such a treasure to have local indie restaurants like these. Let's all help to help them stay in business. Please tip well and leave positive reviews afterward. read more

If you like strong pizza and great beer selection, Pizza J is for you. Alwats friendly and comfortable--although, yes, the occasional family party does seem to pop up out of nowhere. Oh well. Have another beer! read more

Got here at opening. Lovely waitress. I got my free high five from yelp from her. Being Vegan Started with Seitan. Way under cooked. Once sauce is on it, not much you can do. Now on to my vegan pie. Looks good and it was. Very simple but good. A bit skimpy on the vegan cheese. read more

Every time I've been here it's been nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere is awesome. Super casual, tons of space, there's a little arcade in the back, cool decor and pieces from local artists on the walls! TONS of vegan and gluten free options. The wings are delicious - actually, all of the apps are delicious. Get the appetizer sampler! The Italian egg roll is out of this world. I've had the regular pizza and the gluten free, and as delicious as the regular crust was, I think I prefer the GF! It's a cauliflower crust and it's outstanding. They have a great drink menu/pretty big selection of beer/cider. The staff is always SUPER friendly. Also! They have trivia on Wednesday evenings - so fun! read more

New york style pizza with a variety of toppings to choose from. They also have a pretty good selection of non-pizza foods to try. Onion rings are big solid pieces of deep fried deliciousness. Beer menu is large enough to make the majority of ppl happy. Mixed drink menu is short, I've tried a couple and neither were awful or incredible. Really good list of non-alcoholic drinks ranging from yoohoos to coffee to Mexican coke. The atmosphere is a little hipster but fun. A few arcade games like pin ball. Stuff you might play more on a date night and less for your kids, although the kids I saw there seemed to still enjoy an older school game. Multiple tvs that you can see basically anywhere. Almost always tuned to cartoons or Disney movies. Things like spongebob, nick at night, Popeye, and aladin. Enough tvs it can easily be too distracting or the perfect distraction but that really depends on who you bring with you. read more

Pizza J - At the bar - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I know being a New Yorker I can be jaded about pizza, but how this place stays in business I do not know. The pizzas sound interesting but every single time I have called in for a pick up there is a two or three hour wait and if you put in an order they don't have it when you get there. The one time I tried their pizza was in person and utterly forgettable. The place has terrible acoustics and we got Spicoli for a waiter. We never got the drinks that we ordered and when we finally got the pie the toppings were ridiculously sparse and smaller than advertised. I could of made the same thing at home for 1/3 of the price. The burn out waiter totally ignored us once the food was out, and refused to bring the us the check. Had to leave some money on the table and walk out. read more

Nice new addition to the west side dining scene Large space, fun to watch the open kitchen. Was there with friends, several of whom are vegetarians, there were many options to please everyone. Tempura veggies and seitan "wings" were most tasty. Pizzas were good and nice size. cheeseburger calzone was tasty. Nice chicken parm and good beer selection Great place to go with a small group read more

Amazing food , great staff ! Can't wait to go back and try all the different pizzas ! read more

Solid, Go To, never have a sad face after I eat pizza. Like to dine in, love to dine out. Providence choice for Pizza lately after doing the rounds. read more

Best pizza in Providence, bar none! Food is a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it. Highly recommend American Beauty pie with bacon and scallions. Ingredients are high quality and staff are super friendly. A++ read more

Pizza J's is okay. I think people hyped it up too much for me to give it an honest review. The pizza was ok. The appetizers were good. The mixed drinks were not my style. The craft beer list and the pinball machines are the draw. The staff was semi-friendly, but more stand offish. I can't say they were rude, or that I didn't enjoy the service. It feels like the expectation is to leave the guests alone and let them enjoy themselves. It was a clean, and uniquely decorated restaurant. My husband loved it there and hopes to return. I could go again, but it wouldn't be my first choice. I do have to say that dessert looked amazing, but we did not have any. read more

We made the mistake of ordering a pizza again after recalling it wasn't very good the first time we ordered. The bottom was completely black and burnt, there was very little on top of the pizza and the dough was like cardboard. We won't order a 3rd time...way too many really good pizza places in this city. read more

I've been here twice so far. Staff was pleasant each time. My first visit I had the steak and cheese. While it was very large for one person, it was rather expensive (approximately $12) considering I could only eat half. The second time me and two friends ordered a Pizza to share on a Thursday night. there was only one other table and the pizza took forever to come. Once it did, it was delicious. I forget the actual names of the pizza but it was half BBQ pork and half Buffalo chicken. It was the perfect size for 3 people, with two of us having 3 slices and one having 2 slices. However, again it was rather pricey for pizza as the bill was $25. I'm from NY and used to expensive meals, but for some reason I thought food would be cheaper out here. It is not. read more

The worst restaurant I've been to in a long time. Terrible waiter and a wine pour that was literally 3 sips. The hummus was so garlicky I tasted it for the rest of the night. I NEVER plan to go back. read more

They make amazing vegan cheese pizza with vegan ricotta blows my mind every time only thing I'd say that they need is ranch dipping sauce for the pizza even if it's not vegan they really should have it. read more

Ordered 2 cheese pizzas, one was cut, one wasn't. One had a garnish, the other didn't. Cmon guys. Charge a premium for your pizza and can't even cut it?!? Decent pizza. read more

The beer choices are solid and the pizza is pretty tasty. I don't think this makes the list of "must-go" places for pizza in Providence but the vibe is cool and everything is good. We actually struggled to choose what to order with so many options on the menu and our server was kind enough to let us know we could split a pizza, which was great. One of our pizzas was overcooked on one side but our server noticed and comped it. Considering that half of the pizza was correctly cooked and that the burnt half was still tasty, this felt like a windfall instead of a bad experience. read more

The pizza is relatively good and the prices aren't bad. The atmosphere is very relaxed and laid back.

The pizza is good and the ingredients imaginative BUT, it is so incredibly expensive for pizza. It's expensive even for expensive pizza. They also seem to consistently get my order just slightly wrong (missing ingredient, forgot to make something, etc). OH and the online prices never match what you're actually going to get charged. read more

On vacation and needed a little dinner. We picked the right place!! Had the Yehti and it was AWESOME!!! Service was great, everyone smiling. Would highly recommend!! read more

Pizza J is a solid West End option for dinner...yet still does not quite live up to the same standards of its "older brother" Julian's restaurant. Overall, its a solid choice for casual dining: the pizza is good, salads are small (seriously...wouldnt recommend one for an entree) and the whole restaurant is a throw back to my 90's childhood. I do love their trivia nights on Wednesdays....and they serve home made ice cream sandwiches for dessert! read more

Cool vibe, relaxing atmosphere. Food was really good. Loved the Tony Clifton pizza. Our bartender, Chris was awesome!

Food was delicious. Had to wait waaaay to long for a check considering there was only one other table but food was great.

White bean hummus n pita app is a must. Sooooo delish. The pizzas are HUGE. Atmosphere was really cool. Service was great and me and my friends were very happy we came here. read more

I love pizza j! They have good food, a good beer selection and the atmosphere is really fun. I took my family a few weeks ago to their family night and it was a real $ deal. Staff were super helpful, too. The only problem? No baby changing stations in any of the bathrooms! read more

Love this place. Great casual vibe, good beer list and fantastic pizza. We had the garlic knot fries and two of the spicier pies. So good. Worth a visit if you are in Providence. read more

Where is the creativity? I can go to any pizza place in PVD and be handed the same menu. Expected a lot more from from a place that is Julian's sister restaurant. read more

This message is directed towards Mr. Julian the owner of Pizza J We love going to your restaurant on Broadway and often try and I say try to go to Pizza J For dinner but at this point it's getting so difficult to be in in pizza j with my wife Because you're always playing heavy metal music and we find it very unpleasant trying to even have a conversation . maybe you can consider that not only 20 year olds enjoy going out to dinner in a some what relaxing place best to you and hope you consider your patrons over 20 years old read more

Just moved to the hood and have been looking for what's around. Hit this place tonight and ordered a pizza and a couple drinks. Friendly, attentive staff and the best pizza I have had in Providence. Comfortable if not anything special ambience but who cares when you've got great food and a cool staff. read more

Loved finding out this place is around the corner from me! I've only tried a handful of their pizzas and apps but everything has been delicious. The staff is always so friendly even when i come to pick up my pizza 15 min before they close! Overall perfect neighborhood pizza spot on the west end. read more

My husband and I had the cauliflower crust with pepperoni & Italian sausage. It was by far the best gluten free pizza I've ever had. No gluten free beer on the menu. I'd love to see a decent gf selection since their regular beer menu is pretty good. However, I had a Bantam cider which was excellent. Dry and extremely flavorful. I'd love to see Downeast cider as an option, as well. read more

This place was AMAZING! Everything about this place rocks, food, service, draft beer choices right down to the whole vibe of the place. Every time we visit RI we make sure to make a visit to Pizza J! The wings were mouthwatering and the pizza was cooked perfect ! You can't go wrong with this place! read more

Probably the best slice of pizza I've had in Rhode Island. The crust is thin, but chewy and thick near the crust. Sweet, flavorful sauce and the perfect amount of cheese and toppings. The service was a bit slow, I was waiting for our waitress for about 15 Minutes to come back so I could ask for more napkins. But that's honestly my only complaint. Also, got the sesame tempura green beans as an appetizer... out of this world. The wasabi dipping sauce is not too spicy and very good! I'll be back for sure. read more

Excellent fresh food. So good we went 3 times in two weeks. Very cool atmosphere, diverse crowd and proper cocktail and beer list. A-+

Love it! Solid pizza joint. It's different without being too crazy. Love the archimbaldo (veggies artichokes) and the pale moon rider (ricotta steak and onion). Prices are above average but I think the quality is worth it. Also had a couple of their apps - tempura is surprisingly good!! Better than some Japanese restaurants even (imagine that). I am quite satisfied after eating here. read more

I went back and had a WAY better experience! The vegan steak and cheese sandwich was very good, staff were attentive, and service was quick. We sat at the bar this time, so that may have had something to do with it. Either way, much improved! I'll definitely go back. read more
