If you get a large pizza, it's certainly enough for a few people! The staff here is amazing as well, especially their social media team! They're very sassy, friendly, and always open to criticism. My first time trying Jacks and they went ham on the cheese, to the point it was a sloppy mess. Jacks listened and they did much better the next time! Been ordering here for a hot minute now and will continue to do so! I hope they stick around for DECADES to come! Great local pizza spot !!!

Last year, I walked into Jack's Irish and Italian Pizza Pub in Smithfield and walked out with a…read morestory about a pizza that couldn't decide what it wanted to be. The bottom crust burned hard while the top stayed pale and raw. Cheese pooled like weather patterns. Oil slicked everything. The pepperoni cups gave up on life halfway through cooking. I wrote what I saw. I posted it. I moved on. Then Jack's did something that matters more than producing a perfect pizza on the first try. They didn't get defensive. They didn't make excuses. They just invited me back to see what they're really about. "It was just a tough pie day," I told them. Because that's the truth. Every kitchen has them. Consistency is the hobgoblin of many restaurants, particularly the ones that are trying to get their footing set. Today we walked back in, genuinely hoping for a redemption story. Sometimes hope gets you disappointed. Sometimes it gets you vindicated. The pizza that arrived today looked nothing like last year's disaster. Thicker crust, doughy in that substantial way that makes for a chewy, satisfying experience. It had weight. Structure. The kind of foundation that holds up under scrutiny. The first bite told the whole story. Crunchy on the outside, chewy through the middle, with this unexpected toasted sesame oil flavor happening in the crust that sets it apart from every other bar pizza in Rhode Island. The sauce showed up this time, savory and well-balanced, working with high-quality cheese instead of drowning under it. This wasn't some fluke of good luck. This was a really competent pizza made by people who've figured out their recipe and their oven. The service matched the food. Friendly without being intrusive, attentive without hovering, the kind of hospitality that makes you want to stay for another beer. The room still has that Bryant Bulldog bar aesthetic working. Reclaimed wood, industrial lights, butcher block tables, sports stories on the walls. It knows what it is. A neighborhood spot where you watch the game, catch up with friends, and eat pizza that holds its own. If I lived nearby, I'd be here regularly. That's not something I say often after writing a critical first review. But Jack's earned it the hard way, by taking feedback seriously and proving they can deliver when it counts. Last year's pizza was a problem. This year's pizza is the solution. Sometimes the story worth telling isn't about perfection on the first attempt. It's about showing up better the second time.

We started with the Chicken Marsala Stuffed Mushrooms, which were packed with rich, savory flavor. I ordered the 'Shroomy Grilled Cheese, and it was next-level comfort food; gooey, earthy, and perfectly balanced. My husband and aunt both had the New School Smash Burger, and they couldn't stop raving about it. Every dish was bursting with flavor and truly "to die for." Our server, David, made the night even better. He was attentive, upbeat, and genuinely kind; an overall great spirit with a fantastic attitude who elevated the entire dining experience. David even brought us some of their popcorn, which was so delicious and such a fun extra touch. We loved the food, we loved the service, and we will definitely be back; highly recommend.

I was torn on the wing flavor and the waitress (who was a F***ing riot by the way, I Love her)! suggested the maple, I didnt Love love them, but they were good. The pizza was ok, could have been cooked like a moment more. The Shroomy grilled cheese for me was the best thing on the menu. Hubby said the steak was just meh, but he is fancy, we take his reviews with a grain of salt, LOL... The decor and vibe of the place was great!

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.

The pizzas are outstanding - toppings are all high quality and their weekly pizza specials are always unique and delicious. The salads, chicken entrees, and pasta are all excellent as well.

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.

It was a treat to visit last week with two friends and it was so delicious that we finished every bite of our two pizzas and had none left to take home! Note: This is a counter service restaurant, and then the waitstaff delvers your order to the table. Even though we ordered at the counter, the waitstaff was friendly and attentive throughout our entire visit. They went above and beyond checking on us and making sure everything was perfect. We all started with the white sangria, which was perfect - It had a great amount of flavor and was beautifully served with a variety of fruit in the glass. For pizzas, we went with The Bianca and the Corina so we could try both a white and a red sauce. Both were absolutely delicious, with plenty of toppings and a crispy crust. Our pizzas were served piping hot and the ingredients were all very high quality. I'd definitely order both of them again. Pizzeria Romana in Lincoln has a variety of tables and booth for seating. It isn't a large place, but we had no problem getting a seat at 6:30 on a Thursday night. We saw lots of people come and go, and they seem to do quite a bit of takeout as well as dine in. This is going to be my go to pizza place - So glad we went there last week and I can't wait to go back!
