    Cocktail and mocktail

    Stopped in for a bite after a Sundays matinee at PPAC. Two adults two teen girls. All were very happy! We got caprese and brussel sprouts for apps and they were super tasty! We also got 3 pizzas and had enough for everyone to take a little bit as left overs. The server was friendly and quick! Overall good time!

    First time here and will not be the last time. Had dinner with a friend before we went to PPAC for a show. The establishment was super busy but the staff was attentive and made it look easy on such a busy afternoon. Drinks came out first and we were perfect not too strong. Our food came out hot and everything tasted amazing. Portion size was good for the two of us. Can't wait to bring family inventory love flatbread.

    Pickled vegetables- love! (Would come back only for this)

    Ok burnt really bland soggy pizza; after asking about it, they replaced it after seeing the bottom was blackened as well; Parm dip also really bland and not really dip-able, but loved the fresh (bland) flatbread! Best thing was the pickles! Really stuffy, humid, hot restaurant on a breezy day. Would have loved to have sat outside instead. Really helpful server!

    The pizza here is always amazing. The crust has great flavor , nice and crispy texture. I love sauce because it's savory and not sweet like many pizza sauces . They also don't over sauce pizzas . I love the cup pepperoni, the ends get super crunchy and they are spicy. Service is always very friendly, but it is a little slow because they are so crowded. There is a long wait for food at times . It took over an hour to get two pizzas. But their pizzas are worth the wait. While this place is usually crowded, its acoustics are good , so you can sit and have a nice conversation with people.

    The Taco pizza, two minutes before it disappeared.

    My toughest challenge as a native Rhode Islander is finding a great pizza spot. PVD Coal Fire has a rustic and upscale charm to it, making them a going-out spot rather than a "order out and eat the whole box on the couch in sweats" type restaurant to me. I mean that in a good way because everyone needs a go-to spot for date nights. This downtown Providence location is perfect before a PPAC show and for fueling your cheesy cravings. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE coal-fired pizza - definitely take your preferences into account if you're not a charred crust fan. We've tried a good amount of their specialty pizzas, like the Taco, Meat Lovers, BBQ Chicken, the Conrad and Four Cheese. I would rather eat those five pizzas in one sitting than answer which one was my favorite. If I HAD to choose... ... It would be the Taco pizza! I strongly gravitate towards fun and out-of-the-box options, making this specialty a winner in my books. If a beef chili base, Monterey Jack cheese, cumin sour cream, Frito's and scallion combo doesn't scare you, it might become your favorite too. As far as appetizers go, the bruschetta pomodoro was awesome and the house pesto packed tons of flavor. The coal-fired wings were okay. Unfortunately, the charred chicken tasted too dry to me. However, I did like the roasted onions sprinkled on top. Overall, I recommend bookmarking PVD Coal Fire for your next meal.

    Stopped by for dinner on a casual Thursday. Was surprised to know we could order 2 kinds of pizzas in one, loved that. Loved the thin crust. Efficient and friendly service, and the pizza came out pretty quickly. I'll be back to try more from the menu. I saw another table with salads and they looked big and tasty.

    White The Clam Pizza (excellent! Not too clammy and great crust consistency)
    Jana H.

    Happy to have walked into this little gem of a pizza place. The menu had a lot of great options to choose from. Staff was friendly and service was good (but we were sad our waitress forgot to tell us about the Thanksgiving dinner seasonal pizza!). Food reviews: -picked vegetables: too spicy! Maybe that's what Chicago style means? -beet & goat cheese salad: excellent!! -clam pizza: also excellent! Crust wasn't too thin and it wasn't too clammy. Wish we would have known you could do half and half because we would have loved to try another (maybe add that to the menu for future?) Also had two tasty drinks that I forget the names of. Would recommend for a good pizza stop in downtown Providence!

    Good looking pizza, ok flavor, ridiculous price.
    Stringfellow H.

    $20? Come on, man. That's crap. Was the pizza good? It was passable. I had to add salt because the sauce lacks flavor. Was the server good? Yes. My server was attentive. Ambiance? A one hole pisser/shitter, a large bar, and down town Providence location--you pay real estate property, not pizza. Read my other pizza reviews from across Europe. I know what a good pizza price is. Ok pizza, too expensive.

    Meatball Pizza
    Greg G.

    The wings are great here! Always served piping hot. I brought some pizza "experts" here tonight and they loved the pies. We shared the Conrad, Meatball, 4 Cheese and Margherita pizzas. My favorites are the Conrad and 4C. Service was great. We sat at the bar tonight. NCAA games on the tvs, do we had great conversations and great fun watching the games. The place is a bit loud. Maybe this location is better with a bigger crowd, while the North Kingstown location is better for a cozy date night! Don't forget to finish with the cannoli, mousse or butterscotch pudding!

    Meatball Pizza
    Elena D.

    Omg.. best clam pizza of my life. A perfect blend of flavors and who doesn't love potatoes on pizza! Honorable mention to the meatball pizza which was also very tasty. Service was quick from a take out order standpoint and ambiance appeared cosy. 10/10 recommend

    Baked Goat Cheese and veggie

    Always an awesome experience! The baked goat cheese appetizer is a must! And you can order half and half pizzas so everyone is happy!

It's always dissapointing when a restaurant lacks consistency and leaves you wondering what happened? Is it the cook at certain shifts, carelessness, different quality products? I don't know, but this place may be worth a try if they could output the product I had during my first visit. The pizza was dissapointing, but the wings were good. It tasted fresh, very crispy and hit the spot. The wings definitely saved the overall meal which is why I gave them a 3 overall, but the pizza was like a 2. The other stuff - I called in and was put on a long hold. The employee I spoke to was a apologetic about the wait and was overall pleasant. I've been inside this restaurant and it's quite small, so taking out may be a better option. -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

    Pizza Marvin has been my favorite pizza place in Rhode Island for years now, and at this point I'm…read morepretty sure I have tried almost everything on the menu at least once. Every time we go, we say we're going to branch out, then somehow end up ordering a couple of our usual favorites anyway. The North Provolone is probably my number one, but the House Cheese, Roni Island, Margherita AF, Chowdah Pie, and Corny AF are all ridiculously good. They manage to make creative pizzas without turning them into gimmicks, which is harder than people think. What really keeps me coming back though is the crust. They absolutely nail it. Thin enough to get that crisp bite, but still enough chew to hold everything together. The bottom always has that perfect little bit of char from the oven that gives the pizza actual flavor instead of just tasting like bread with toppings on it. You can tell they pay attention to how these pies are cooked. Nothing comes out pale and lifeless. For a long time the seating in the back was definitely tight, especially when they got busy, but they recently expanded and it's a huge improvement. There's a lot more room now while still keeping the same laid back atmosphere. The staff has always been great too. Friendly people, fast service, no attitude. Prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting, and I also appreciate that they offer pizza by the slice if you just want to stop in for something quick. You do order at the counter instead of having full table service, but honestly it's simple and efficient and never felt like an issue to me. Providence has a lot of good food spots, but Pizza Marvin is one of the few places I recommend without hesitation. Consistently excellent every single time I've been there.

The fries were crispy but had a seasoning on them that won't be for everyone. The celery aioli was different, it was really good and fresh.

My complaints are things I believe could have been issues in just the specific day we went and may not be an everyday issue. I would suggest going if you're in the area or want some good treats and good beer. However, I wouldn't go out of my way to get to visit.

I kinda wish everyone had to do it to gain access but it is one of the many fun games/adventures from Level99. The special menu was $25 for a pizza & 2 beverages. Upon recommendation of our delightful server Kobe, we opted for the Hot Mess: ezzo cupping pepperoni, piri-piri sauce, fresnos, queso fresco. Pizza is Detroit style & the edges were perfection, I could have used a bit more sauce but the piri-piri drizzle was fire. We both had a glass of wine. We were in the mood for a nightcap. I selected a coffee stout, Jolly Woodsman by Banded Brewing. Our server asked if I wanted a taste before ordering a glass, I was happy that I took him up on the offer - it wasn't my favorite.

We ordered garlic knots and two pizzas--a Margherita and a Coney Island. Our server even repeated the order back and specifically asked if we had any special requests, such as. getting the pizzas cooked to well done. I requested "medium," yet both pizzas arrived overcooked and marked "well done" on the bill. The garlic knots were the highlight--perfectly cooked and loaded with garlic. However, the pizzas were a letdown. The Margherita didn't have nearly enough fresh mozzarella, and the other pizza had the wrong toppings. When we received the bill, we saw that they served us a "Cyclone" instead of the Coney Island we ordered. We were hungry and had already waited so long that we didn't bother sending them back.
