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

Pizza J - Not to bad - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

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

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

Great pizza and service but I have to say that the pinball machines are my favorite part read more

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

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

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

Probably best pizza in town. Lots of creative tops but plain cheese or margarita great too. Pinball for entertainment. Glad I found this place. Strongly encourage you to try it. read more

Pizza J is my new go-to! Great pie (and I got a gluten-free crust, so that tells you a lot about the quality)! Great vibes, great staff. I sat at the bar on a busy Sunday night. Bobby was my bartender, and he was a delight! Other customers were chill and chatty. What more could you want? Love this place! read more

We waited close to 2 hours for our pizza as everyone else was getting theres. Our Grandaughters were crying and had to leave with no food. Never Again. read more

Participating in Lord of the Pies and stopped in after work for a slice. Their pizza is always consistent and reliable and I've been here before. One of my go to spots over the last few years when I'm in the mood for thin pizza. Plus you can't go wrong with Pinball machines ! read more

My wife and I stopped in quick, never been before. First timers.. we were blown away. The staff was very friendly and answered every question we had, and the food? Amazing! What a gem this place is. Some of the best pizza and wings we've ever had. Craft beer options were great. Long Live, Fox Farm, Buttonwoods. Pizza had no flop, fresh ingredients, great crunch and the wings were like nothing we've tasted before. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended. read more

I'm a longtime fan of Julian's so I was hype to see they had a sister restaurant. It did not disappoint, I'm still bowled over by how good of an experience it was! The ambiance was excellent, it was giving 80s arcade vibes. The projector showing monsters inc was a nice touch. We were seated quickly and the service was friendly and fast. They let us sample 3 different beers before deciding which pitcher to go with. My only complaint is the draft beer menu was very interesting and eclectic - honestly I would liked a basic light beer but that's just my preference. The food was 10/10 definitely the best pizza I've ever had in providence. The pepperoni with a side of ranch was delish! There were several pizzas on the menu that sounded good to me, I'm eager to go back. read more

Pizza J has consistently been our go to pizza place before the pandemic and definitely during the pandemic for take out. While I missed the cool vibe of eating inside, I appreciate the simplicity of take out. You can easily order on their website and pick up. They have great seitan wings with vegan blue cheese, vegan sausage, and vegan cheese options for plant based eaters. We love to build our own pizza. The portions are large and the pies are tasty. The staff was lean this year, but always professional and friendly. So grateful to this restaurant for offering vegan options and navigating these crazy times with grace. read more

We've been here a handful of times and the pizza is always spot on. We've brought friends from out of state and it was talked about many times after. Fun drinks and good food, what more do you need? read more

I find my self returning here more often than I expected. The pizza is both delicious & offers some fun combinations of toppings. It's a little on the pricy end but still worth it. The service is good & helpful but can be a little slow depending on how busy it is. The beer choices offer a good mix of local breweries that are worth trying. The atmosphere of the inside is pretty cool as they have unique & different decorations that most pizza places & even have pinballs machines you can play. read more

Pizza j never disappoints! Stopped here with a few friends. Place wasn't too busy, but there was a lot if activity around the arcade section. Pizza is crispy and full if flavor. We ordered the rita and a pepperoni. Both were excellent. I assume the Rita is their take on a Margherita pizza, served with a tomato sauce instead of fresh tomatoes, but I'm sure there are hundreds of variations... and I will note that getting a good fresh tomato that tastes like a tomato is pretty much impossible. Good beer selection and bar seating available. Small parking lot and street parking. We have never had a parking problem. I recommend Pizza J, you won't be disappointed! read more

Great spot! Fantastic vibes, great beers, friendly staff, and very good pizza. We were in town for the weekend to see Bob Dylan and I knew I had to stop at this spot. Great art, fun arcade games, great selection of alcohol, and really good pizza. I should also mention the staff was friendly and helpful and they were playing some great tunes- not too many restaurants are cranking hot snakes! read more

Finally made it to Pizza J last week and am so glad that I did! We found ourselves on the West Side of Providence on Labor Day Monday and we were craving pizza so it was time to give Pizza J a whirl. They have seating inside and outside. We wanted to sit outside and it was pretty busy so we had to wait about 20 minutes. We walked around the neighborhood a bit, came back, and boom our table was ready! There was one server waiting on all the tables outside and he was wonderful. He cleared are table right away, had plenty of suggestions for how we could make the pizza our own, and made us feel truly welcomed. Pizza J can split any pizza half and half! We did half cheese and half the Tony Clifton with vegetarian sausage on it. We also split the roasted broccolini to start. The pizza was fresh, bubbling hot, and had that crispy crunchy crust that I love so much. If you find yourself on the West Side of PVD don't sleep on Pizza J! read more

Had to go back and update after Pizza J quickly rose to the top of our "go to" restaurants for dinner in Providence! I just finished out performing in a musical that played down the street from this fantastic eatery, and we basically went here for dinner every night after my performances! Of course, that allowed me to sample a few more menu items, and I felt like the Garlic Fries deserved a review update all of their own! You MUST order these decadent and delightful morsels of garlicky goodness! Hand cut fries topped with garlic aioli, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, all served in a heaping portion that's perfect for sharing - or not! Pro tip: don't plan on kissing anyone after you have these, unless they ate the fries too! The garlic flavor packs a punch! However, they are AMAZING, and one of the best starters I've had at all the casual dining restaurants in PVD. Definitely worth checking out. Extra special shoutout to our server, Martha, who we had tending our table on more than one occasion. She is hysterically funny, attentive, and awesome, and if you can request her as your server when you go, DO IT! We got the Garlic Fries at her excellent recommendation! Her service plus the awesome appetizer pumped my review of Pizza J up from four stars to five - and it really is worth that rating! read more

Do not order the garlic wings. They were burnt and overall didn't taste good. Root beer was also flat with no carbonation Employee also gave me the wrong drink and never refunded me read more

Pizza J is such a classic. It's just a couple blocks away from me and the garlic fries are the best (get them right away, they're no good soggy)! read more

Decided to try Pizza J because they had a nice beer menu and pizza always works for the kids. Went on a Friday night at 6 expecting it to be packed and to our pleasant surprise, it wasn't!! Basically sat ourselves after being greeted and server came over right away to point out the QR code menu, which I guess is still new to some folks. We were able to get small flights of beers even though they were out of the 4 oz flight glasses (substituted 6 oz pours at no added cost). Server was clearly experienced and was very attentive even though he had about 10 tables. Had the fried chicken sando and it was outstanding! Instead of one giant piece of chicken it had a pair of thin breasts that were perfectly fried (it would have been easy to overcook them). Slaw and ranch complimented the crispy fried goodness. Wife and kids split a roni pie and it was also cooked perfectly. Not greasy and held together well for a thin crust. We even ended up taking a pastry stout home to have by the fire later on. Definitely headed back here next time I'm looking for a pie and/or a brew on the west side. read more

I've gone here a few times; the pizza is delicious and is a favorite among my office. My only qualm is I made an order for an office party a day in advance and when I went to pick it up at the requested time it was not ready. I was happy to be patient when they said it would only take 15 more minutes but it ended up taking 30 minutes and one of the pizzas was not cut. Just something to keep in mind if you're ordering pickup. read more

Love this places pizza and the vibe. Visit for pizza and pinball all the time. Recently went for Lord of the Wings and they may be my pick for winner. Wings have a nice smoked taste and both their buffalo and sweet thai chilli are super tasty. Extra points for showing Beetlejuice. read more

We had the garlic fries to start and it was mouth watering. Then we had the Alphabet pizza and it was great! It was cooked to perfection and the taste was amazing. The ratio of crust, sauce, cheese and toppings was just right. Along with a pitcher of Belgium beer to wash it all down. Not only was the food good but the server was so nice he made the experience even better. Thanks Bill! And also all the other people that were assisting and working. The vibe is cool it's like a punk rock kinda vibe with old school arcade games. read more

Very good pizza and drinks plus they have pinball machines pretty cool will be back. The service is really good too

Pizza j always hits. I'm in love with their food-but eat it in house! The food is incredible either way but having it hot out of the pizza oven is the real experience. My favorite of all time is the Arcimboldo pizza, red sauce/cheese/olives/artichokes/herbs. Just the fricken best. They have awesome apps- wings, fried mozzarella, tonight we got a fried burrata, an awesome twist! Garlic fries- need no introduction, just order them. You will have dragon breath for 48 hours, it's so worth it. Another reason to eat in house- pinball! Bring dollars, they have a token machine. read more

Good pizza and has vegan option/dairy free cheese and I will be back for more. The service was great too

Excellent service! Beer selection was great and the pizza was awesome. Garlic Parmesan fries!! The atmosphere was really relaxed and fun. They have a wall of old school pinball machines. Shout out to Bill for the great service! Definitely recommend and will come back! read more

This place is so fantastic. I was on a road trip to Rhode Island for some donuts and someone recommended it. It's just a really fun, cool, and welcoming place. The pizza is great. The beer is great.

Went here for the first time with friends on a Friday night. I'm all about the pizza! Super friendly staff and really good food. As for the quiet o meter ppfffttt go and be free my peeps! We got the wings too and they are bangin! Pizza n wings won me over and I'll be back for sure. If I had to give a "con" theres 2. One is it's loud. But I'm old and it def has a high vibe so it's good and bad. Bad if you're older and can't hear the peeps you're with haha and second Id love it if the tap water was filtered. Soooo again not a strike but more of a request ! Cheers!!! read more

This was my last stop on Lord of the Pies. I missed this stop for Lord of the Wings so I was excited to come in and finally. The consensus between my partner and I is that Pizza J is a lot of fun, and that we were actually very surprised by the interior. I'm not sure what we expected; from the outside, it appears to only be a pizza counter, but once you step in it's a full blown bar and restaurant with arcade games, projector screens and TV's. Plenty of tables, but confusing that the booth side of the table had no seat cushions. Obviously not a deterrent, but something that we weren't expecting for sure. Took longer for drink service, but it was a busy night & is totally excusable. Same for food --- as long as it comes out hot, we're happy. We ordered the Butternut Squash Soup special, garlic fries, and 1 slice each of cheese and pepperoni. The staff accidentally burnt my partner's slice, but they informed us of the issue and quickly resolved it. The pizza, although a "slice," could have comfortably been two slices. It's a generous portion. The crust was impressive, perhaps the most impressive part of the pizza. Nice and soft, but still firm enough to hold the toppings. Although we were there for pizza, the Butternut Squash soup was the best bite of the night. With hints of tanginess and savoriness, the soup was very pleasant, and just what we needed on a cold night. The menu didn't specify that the garlic fries had a garlic aioli directly drizzled over the fries. I'm not a fan of aioli (my partner is), so that took away from the enjoyment of the fries. To be fair, I should have asked if it came on the side as a dip. I'd definitely come back for pizza again. Hopefully they'll still have the Squash soup! read more
