    Burger
    Lindsay C.

    Came here as a part of the RI Food Fights burger competition. The burger was standard, but nothing to write home about. It was cooked well, and the bun was enjoyable. The fries were decent and the serving size was good. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very friendly. Food came fast. Their pizza menu seemed to have some interesting and unique options, so I'm glad to learn that this place existed! Just not going to become my go-to burger spot.

    First time at The 79 Pub/This Guy's Pizza. I came because I had the Lord of the Wings passes for the month of January. Really impressed by the menu a lot of types of pizza, a lot of really unique options. They have two beers that are specifically brewed for the restaurant one from the Dublin Brothers and the other from goose Island in Chicago. I tried both and it really enjoyed each beer, they were everything in IPA and a pills that should be. I didn't have the pizza, which I know is crazy, but I ordered the creamy pasta wings in the spinach pie tacos because that sounds absolutely unhinged and it sure was in the best way. The wings were really good. And I am really picky on wings. They were hot, crispy, and super flavorful. I will definitely be back for the chicken wings specifically. My other favorite thing besides the wings was the off the menu PB&J margarita. The service was also excellent. Super attentive waitress and friendly bartender. The establishment is fairly large with a big bar. There are arcade games in the back. Everything was clean and they have a parking lot. I really enjoyed my visit to the 78 Pub/This Guy's Pizza and I'm excited to come back to try more menu items.

    Steak sandwich with mushrooms & onions
    Claudia Z.

    Return visit to This Guy's Pizza & it did not disappoint! We ordered an extra-large half & half pizza - The Rayven on one side (minus the drizzle) & Meat Loaded on the other. Both were delicious! Perfectly cooked crust, generous toppings & great flavor across the board. Every slice was hot & fresh - exactly what you want from a great neighborhood pizza spot! We also ordered the steak sandwich with mushrooms & onions. The steak was tender, the mushrooms & onions were cooked just right, melty cheese held everything together. The atmosphere really added to the experience. There was a soccer game on the TVs, with a fun, energetic group of fans on the other side of the restaurant that made it feel lively & welcoming without being overwhelming. There is also a game room in the back, which is a great touch & makes this place feel like more than just a quick pizza stop. It is somewhere you can hang out & enjoy yourself! Great food, good value & a place we will continue to support!

    Chicken sandwich

    Walked up to the large pub space and was immediately struck by how loud it was. Like you could her the music outside loud. It turned out to be Karaoke night and the volume of the music went down when people were singing. Service was friendly and our drink orders were filled quickly. We both ordered chicken sandwiches, and they were good, but nothing to make a special trip for. The pizza menu is very extendive with lots of topping choices so I'd like to go back to try it.

    Was dying for a quick eggplant sandwich so we decided to try somewhere new to us at least! Well the eggplant was simple like I asked with light sauce, but my husband got a real treat! Chicken parm mouthful is what he ordered and it's chicken parm wrapped in mozzarella sticks with cheese then wrapped in a tortilla perfectly grilled with big side of fries and their great red dipping sauce :) ahhhmmmazing is an understatement he said . Great owner ~ bartender and waitresses are all so welcoming to everyone. We always sit at the bar. It also has a fun big room with picnic family style tables surrounded with arcade tables so bring the kids too! Great neighborhood Bar grill & arcade! Will definetly be going back soon . Fast friendly service too & good prices.

    Half pepperoni and sausage pizza.

    The wings were flavorful. The service was accurate however delivery took a long time. It's a family friendly restaurant. Lots of seating and parking.

    The big easy chicken sandwich from the passports
    Catherine S.

    It was very quiet in here today, but the server, the waitress parked in their hostess combination. She was very friendly, kind, explained all the specials, etc. showed us, especially when they had just for the sandwich. Passport was able to order a sandwich separately so that we could share it and also gave us extra plates, etc. the food was really good. The chicken was juicy, but it wasn't hot and I like the crunchiness of it and the light battle was like a temp force was a very lightweight batter, which was good. I hate thick batters. other than that, things were wonderful. The rest was very clean organized put together very busy with takeout orders and I think catering. We will come back at another time. The server just came back we had thought french fries came with the sandwich, but on the passport it does not. It's a little bit extra. We didn't count for that today however she's come back. She's surprising us with their own homemade french fries they made in an air fryer. We're gonna have some and then we'll take the rest to go. This has been a fun day and experience with my friend so we will be leaving in just a minute and heading back home.

    29 Jan 2025 update It's truly a gem for eating in. What a great menu with a wide range of selection for lunch, including their great pizza options. The service is so personable and friendly. Strongly suggested for the freshest food and service. Even live music on Fridays and Saturday nights!

    The Frenchman Grinder

    The Frenchman grinder! Sooo good! Would definitely get this again! Put the sauce on the side but the sauce is so good!

    We enjoyed our visit with kids. The small, separate game room was a nice space for them to escape to and an added element for our time out. There was a good variety of options for food, including many kids meals that were priced great. We tried the Level Up and PB&J Burgers, the tacos and a few kids burgers & kids pizzas. We can't wait to try the pizza!

    a pepperoni and olive pizza
    Joe C.

    True Score: 3.5 Stars A pizzeria with a bar and several TV's to watch a game. Weirdly it closes pretty early, so we would never choose this spot if there was a night game and we wanted to hang out later than 9pm. Decent menu with a decent selection besides pizza. We had wings, not bad, could have been cooked more. We got a pizza, it was cooked well done as we asked. It is Greek style pizza, not Italian. We did not have a sandwich but other patrons did, they looked good. The draft beer is cold and prices are affordable. The guys working here are very polite and the establishment is very clean. Not bad besides the early close times. Thanks

    Medium pepperoni pizza for $14. 2 slices missing.
    Nick C.

    Just okay pizza. It's a little on the greasy side and a bit doughy. I got a medium pepperoni pizza for $14 which is a very good price. The sauce lacked flavor but the pepperoni made up. Very reasonable prices for the pizza and other menu items. Might be the cheapest pizza in the state that isn't total crap.

    X-Large cheese pizza
    Kelly F.

    Decent square pizza. I got an X-Large cheese. Sauce and cheese ratio was good. Edges a little carmelized. Probably better is you dine in. By the time we got home the cheese had hardened a little. We also got chicken tenders. I asked that they make them buffalo style and toss with mild sauce but they didn't. I didn't realize until I got home but it was fine. They were good anyway and they did include buffalo sauce and blue cheese on side. The dough boy crisps were decent but I asked for cinnamon and powdered sugar and just got cinnamon sugar. Overall order wasn't exactly right but food was good and staff very nice.

    We ordered pizza this time and it was very good. Delivery was friendly and quick. There was no overpowering ingredient and crust was good.

    This was my first visit…read more That's worth saying up front because Rosa Mia has been around for a very long time. There are people in Johnston who have been eating this pizza for most of their lives. They don't just know what it tastes like. They know what it's supposed to taste like. I had none of that. No childhood stake in this one. No fourty year memory to argue with. Just a thick, square pie and an open mind. The first surprise was the crust. This is a substantial pizza, but it didn't eat that way. The top and bottom had real crunch, crisp and golden brown, buttery, with the bottom almost looking like it had been fried in oil. Then you get through that shell and everything changes. Soft. Chewy. Light and airy. Delicious. That contrast was the best thing about the pizza. The cheese was harder to figure out. It never really browned, even around the edges where the crust was getting dark, and the flavor wasn't quite mozzarella. Sharper. Fuller. If I had to guess, I'd say there's some provolone working in there, blended in rather than announced. I could be completely wrong. Whatever it is, the cheese tasted like something. That's not as common as it should be from a lot of pizzerias. Then there was the sauce. On this particular pie, there just wasn't much there. Thin. Almost apologetic. Salt was the only note that really came through. I didn't get much tomato. I didn't get much herb. Nothing really pushed back against a crust and cheese that were doing most of the work. And that's where Rosa Mia and I probably part ways a little. Plenty of people talk about this as some of the best pizza in Rhode Island. After eating it, I understand why. That crust is excellent. The cheese is distinctive. If those are the things you care about most, this is a genuinely good pizza and absolutely worth trying. But I'm a crust-and-sauce guy. I need both. Maybe that's also the difference between discovering a pizza and growing up with one. If Rosa Mia had been down the street from my house when I was ten, maybe this is the pizza I'd spend the rest of my life defending. I understand how that happens. This is exactly the kind of neighborhood pizza that gets wired into people that way. But I didn't grow up with Rosa Mia. I got to meet it at 59, with no memories attached and nothing to judge except the pizza in front of me. Great crust. Really interesting cheese. A sauce, at least this time, that didn't give me enough. Really good pizza. And close enough to great that I understand why somebody else might have spent fifty years insisting that it is.

    We ordered online for pick up, which was about 45 minutes on a Friday afternoon. We ordered the hot…read morehoney pizza, regular pepperoni, and buffalo tenders. Everything was delicious! Our favorite was the honey pizza. Can't wait to try other things on the menu!

Our whole family can't stop talking about how good everything was. That says a lot. First, the space. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the acoustics are genuinely impressive. My grandfather wears hearing aids and he had zero trouble following conversation all night. That's rare and it meant so much to us. We had a reservation and they sat us early, which immediately set the tone. The bread and bread oil kit they bring out? Do not skip it. Just trust me. We had kids with us and their food came out so fast I actually laughed. Our food followed shortly after and the pasta was truly exceptional. Just genuinely high quality, generous portions, and completely worth every penny. We were shocked at how affordable the bill was for what we got. Our server Envy was an absolute gem. Friendly, attentive, and so kind. But honestly the whole staff was like that. Other servers who weren't even in our section came over just to joke around with our kids. The table was never cluttered. A dirty dish sat in front of us for maybe ten seconds before it was gone. I travel for work domestically and for pleasure domestically and internationally and can say that Bar Lino is the only flawless restaurant experience I have ever had. Flawless from start to finish. We will be back. Bring everyone you love!

Napoli. Fondi. Itri. That last one matters. That's where Joe and Esther DeQuattro's family recipes come from. That's the promise on the wall. Joe and Esther have been building serious Italian restaurants in Rhode Island since 2002. Pane e Vino on Federal Hill. Massimo, also on Federal Hill. Bar Lino is the newest, and they've built something that has no business looking this good in a Johnston strip mall. Red leather barstools, black tile floor with white cross inlay, globe pendants, warm light, a full liquor wall. Walk in and you forget where you parked. Start with the meatballs. Two of them, in sauce, with a dollop of ricotta on the plate. Tender, dense, moist all the way through. The sauce and the meat came from the same place of intention. Sunday dinner The ricotta cooled things down just enough. Get these. We went for the grandma pizza. Fior di latte, pepperoni, black olives added. It arrived on a sheet pan looking exactly right, cut into squares, edges golden. The crust looked like it would crunch, somewhere between focaccia and Pizza Hut visually and in its golden brown texture, but it didn't deliver in either direction. The sauce soaked into the dough. The cheese separated from the top. The pepperoni carried the pie, crispy-edged and punchy, and did it well. The grandma pie has four versions on the menu. The one with pink vodka sauce and roasted garlic might be worth the next visit. If I come back again I am probably going to shoot for a chicken or veal parm because I think they probably do an excellent version of that based on all visual cues. Service was professional and well-timed. There when you needed them, gone when you didn't.

    Saturday is not the usual day I break my parents out of where they live…read more That is a Sunday tradition. We go to lunch, get groceries, take care of whatever needs taking care of, and spend a few hours together away from their usual routine. This week, I changed the schedule for Catanzaro's Pizzeria. I wanted to see Anthony and thank him in person for the generous donation Catanzaro's made to The Pizza Principal Kickstarter. That donation helped get us over the top earlier this week. I also wanted my parents to experience the food at a place so many people in this community consider THE BEST. We ordered a caprese salad, meatballs, and a cheese, pepperoni, and olive pizza. The family order. My mother is pretty renowned for her meatballs, so restaurant meatballs have a difficult assignment when they arrive at our table. My family has opinions. Strong ones. My mother took a bite and immediately started comparing them to her own. "These are exactly the same as mine." "I'm so excited." "This is amazing." "I can't believe it." Then my father tried one. He looked at my mother. He looked at me. "The best meatballs I've ever had." That is not a sentence my father hands out casually. The pizza had to follow that, and it did. My parents, like me, have spent six decades believing that another very established, iconic Rhode Island pizzeria unquestionably makes the best pizza in the state. But then Catanzaro's made their case. By the end of lunch, my parents were willing to admit that Catanzaro's can go toe to toe with anybody, anywhere. They loved the food. They loved the service. They loved Anthony. And I loved watching them discover something new together. That is the part I will remember. Not just that the food was outstanding, although it was. Not just that Catanzaro's helped get The Pizza Principal over the finish line, although they did. I got to sit across from my parents while a restaurant they had never tried changed their minds about something they thought they had already settled decades ago. That is a heck of a Saturday. Thank you, Anthony. Thank you to everyone at Catanzaro's. You fed my parents, helped make a film happen, and gave our family a new chapter in an old argument. I could not be more grateful.
