Pizza J

I would give overall 3.5. The garlic knots were definitely tasty, but a little too toasted - not burnt by any means, but maybe a minute over-baked. The marinara on the side was really top notch. The pizza, Good Carma with chicken instead of sausage, was also pretty good. I think it would've been even better with red sauce instead of white; if I were to order it again, that's what I would do. The bottom of the pizza was nicely toasted and crispy, and I usually don't much like thin crust, so it was a good win. The vibes are awesome - nine or ten pinball machines, Mothra on one TV and Bob Ross on the other, AC/DC on the radio. Service was outstanding, shout out to Abby. Nailed the balance between checking on the table and giving us space to enjoy the food.

Hands down best pizza in the state. Not even close. And I heard they won 2nd place in a wings contest so I really want to try those. Great place, great food!

I love this pizza. I love the crust, the sauce and the thoughtful combos. They have great art. A collection of pinball machines. And incredible beer selection and the friendliest most helpful staff to help you choose from too many good options. I can only suggest over-ordering because there's too many phenomenal pies. Personally - I always go with the Tony Clifton. But there's usually specials and also ... vegan... if that's your thing....

Great atmosphere and good pizza! I loved the wall art and pinball machines. The folks at our table were thirsty, and the service on refills took some time, as well as the pizza. All in all, this was a great neighborhood pizza joint and I would most definitely come back.

Pizza J is our go-to Friday night pizza spot. The smoked wings are INCREDIBLE and extremely tender. The pizza is phenomenal and hits the spot every time. Vibes are great to hangout and grab a drink by the bar while they keep your to-go food warm. Highly recommend!

Wish I lived closer to prov just for the fact how good your pizza is. Anytime I see you guys on my delivery route I know its gunna end good with some bomb pizza. Thank you guys for looking out when I come in!! Keep up the great work. Craft collect delivery driver Sam appreciates y'all tremendously!!!

Amazing... Impossibly thin crust, plenty of fresh, slightly sweet sauce. Not too much cheese so it's not a heavy pizza where the cheese coagulates on you. Went with a cheese pizza, absolutely no notes, no room for improvement. Caesar salad perfectly dressed, nice garlicky croutons.

Service was great. Very polite and thoughtful. The atmosphere is very fun and eclectic. And their garlic knots might be one of the best things I've ever tried. Absolutely drool-worthy.

I loveeeee pizza j! We get pizza every year here for pi day! My friends who have gluten allergies and soy/dairy allergies can get stuff from here which is a big win. The pizza is really good. The ambiance is fun too. It's not your average pizza place! It's got art, neon signs, pinball machines and more! The service is great too. I'm always happy here!

I had a killer late-night gluten-free pizza here a few weeks ago. I got the "Mr. Potato Head" pizza (potatoes, mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, garlic, black pepper, garlic aioli, scallions, & I requested to add sausage) on gluten-free dough. I was a little skeptical of potato on pizza but oh.. my god. It absolutely smacked. It was exactly the carbo-loading I needed & the added sausage just sent it over the edge into legendary territory. Side note but I love that the GF pizzas are square ... Not only are they immediately recognizable & confirmable as GF, they also box up more easily.

Fantastic pizza spot that has trivia nights, pinball machines, and just a really fun vibe. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and all the ingredients, and helped us make any modifications we needed for our food allergies. They also have an entire vegan menu, and we were very appreciative about how accommodating and accessible they were. We split some garlic fries (with a sub of vegan aioli) and one pizza (love that they could do half and half). We got a half of the Strutter (sausage and peppers) and half of the Neurotic Sasquatch (BBQ chicken), and both were fantastic. Really happy with our dinner here, and would love to try more pizzas!

This place was a great find. Pinball machines, to the music, to bob ross on the tv (happy trees= happy me) The pizza half Rita and half Good Carma so good. The garlic fries out of this world and the garlic knots amazing. The service was awesome, Jona the bartender so helpful and knowledgeable. Gave us recommendations for more local favorites, that I plan to check out. The whole vibe was great, busy on Monday, what does that tell ya. I will be back to try more of the selections.

I absolutely love Pizza J! Solid, classic, and consistent NY style pizza with great crust. They accommodate half and half toppings at fair prices and they also have delicious smoky wings (I like the sweet Thai chili sauce on the side)! Cute spot to eat in with a hip and quirky vibe from the decor to the pinball machines and themed bathrooms... and friendly service! I usually call ahead for takeout but when I dine-in the cocktails are awesome. My favorite pizzas are The Strutter, The King Tidal, and the Roni. They also have a convenient parking lot with extra street parking as well.

Always a great stop. The pizza was great, we enjoyed a couple different specialty pizzas. One was carbonara style (thought it needed a little more seasoning) and one was various meats (my favorite). We also tried the wings, very good with a nice smoked flavor. The beer list was good as always. The service was great. Very informative and helpful. We always love the eclectic decor and various activities within (pinball, movies, etc.)

Yummmmmm!!! Fifth time having pizza from here and it was just as delicious and satisfying as the first!! Pizza was ready when we got there (pick up order) hot cheesy and delicious!! Cooked to perfection!

Late night putting my toddler to bed. We ordered three pizza pies - I am do glad it's delicious and still good to go on eating

These wings are everything you dream about when you hear the words "chicken wings". Crispy with just the right amount of crunch. Saucy? Just like my grandma after a glass of wine --bold, fun and unapologetic. Whether you go classic buffalo, sweet and tangy, or something that makes you question your spice tolerance, each bite is a perfect balance of heat, zest, and undeniable joy. It's not just the wings--it's the vibe. The energy at Pizza J is electric yet cozy, like that perfect house party where everyone, from families wrangling kids to couples on a chill date night to singles just vibing with their food, feels totally at home. The music's good, the crowd's happy, and the whole place radiates that "this is where you wanna be" feeling. Pair those wings with a cold drink, soak in the good energy, and prepare to have your taste buds (and possibly your self-control) tested. 10/10, would ruin a stack of napkins again.

Great experience, walked in on a Sunday right after opening. Everyone greeted. Us and we decided to sit at the bar. Excellent menu of signature cocktails, prepared perfectly. Ordered a cheese pizza which is a great value, hand tossed fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. The fries are a must. Each of the 3 times I've visited the fries are served hot and crispy, with just the right amount of salt. Scan for you menu and pay using your phone is also an option. Plenty of pinball machines and slice pies available if you want to stop in and grab a slice of the road. Great drinks, food and service.

In a city filled with red sauce Italian joints and decades old pizza traditions, Pizza J throws the rulebook out and builds something completely original. Under spinning disco balls and the watchful eyes of vintage movie monsters, while Bob Ross quietly paints his happy trees on the TV above the bar, they're turning out serious pies without a serious attitude. The sauce here has something to say - tangy, herbed, refusing to play backup singer to the cheese. That crust manages to walk that line between chewy and crisp, the kind of technique that tells you someone in that open kitchen knows exactly what they're doing. Get the cheese slice - it's a chance to taste everything in balance. The pepperoni's a showoff, all cup-and-char bravado, muscling all of the other flavors off the stage. This is pizza for people who don't need their restaurants to look like museums. The pinball machines ping, the jukebox blasts Zeppelin, and nobody's pretending we are in Naples. My kind of joint.

My favorite spot to grab a pizza and salad. It is so good. You can order online and grab it quickly. The staff is always really nice. I've never eaten in but they hah pin ball machines and it seems like a cool vibe. The house salad is pretty decent with a nice dressing. The greens and veggies are always pretty fresh. The Rita is our go to and it is fantastic every time. The crust is nice and the toppings are great, but their sauce is top notch. Definitely check it out!

Hidden GEM. DELICIOUS pizza, fast and great service, very friendly staff. Outaide doesnt look big but inside is spacious and amazing looking!

Went there with the family for the first time last weekend . What a great place !!! Was not expecting it to be as fun/good as it was !! The place has fun pinball machines..,great music playing and tv's on !! A welcoming vibe !! The food was delicious ... pizza and calamari . Adult beverages were on spot .. yum !! Our server was awesome too. Nice guy, attentive, friendly and provided great service . Made our lunch a great experience !! Thanks Pizza J .... We'll be back for sure

Pizza J's is my son's favorite pizza place. It is eclectic with fun prints and paintings in the walls. If I had a place to put the Beetlejuice print - I would take it home lol The restaurant has multiple pinball games - which is so much fun! If you like craft beer, you are in luck, although they also have a full bar. Go in for a slice, a whole pie, or just to play some pinball, either way you will enjoy it.

We stumbled upon this amazing retro-styled pizza place last winter when our son wrestled for the state championship at the PCTA. The gluten free pizza was soooo good that we have ordered and picked up from there even though it's at least 30 minutes away. Last time I ordered the Arcimboldo but had it made with a white sauce. It was the perfect texture and tasted heavenly. The crimini mushrooms take it to a different level. If you are looking for an old school kick back and relax kind of pizza joint, this is your place.

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 !

Stop #3 on RI FOOD FIGHTS 11th Annual Lord of the Pies!!! One slice each of pepperoni and cheese...AMAZING flavors, they've got great wings, sandwiches, etc.

We love Pizza J, it has a fun atmosphere! We have been coming to Pizza J for a few years with our kids and friends. We usually stop at Pizza J before a Providence Bruins game or other events at the Amica Pavilion in Providence. There is a nice selection of pinball machines which keep my kids and husband busy! The pizza is delicious, thin crust and we always ask for well-done. We've also had the salads and fries which are delicious. They have a great beer selection too! The restaurant is busy on weekends so I would recommend reservations. Staff is always welcoming and friendly!

How have I never reviewed before ? We love pizza j and go fairly often. It's a fun atmosphere and def a place to hang for a bit. The staff is all super , always have had a great experience with them. They have a lot of craft beers you won't find anywhere else. Also lots of diff cocktails for those who don't drink beer. The menu is small but you can have so ain't diff kinds of pizza that you will find something for sure. Five of us split two pizzas and that was enough. We also had a bread pudding that was sooo good. They have delicious garlic Fries also that we didn't get this time and I'm sad we didn't. Going to have to go back. This is a wonderful local spot and I highly recommend !

Super friendly staff, greeted immediately and served quickly. Explained options and food came out quickly. Pizza was very good, crispy and flavorful! The vibes here are great, colorful windows, games, eclectic art. I'll be back!

Delicious thin crust pizza place in the Fed Hill neighborhood! First things first there's a couple parking spots out front which is nice! The ambiance is very casual and cool with lots of retro touches!! Originally came with some friends to grab some pizza to take home, but they told us the wait was around 1 hour when we got there around 7pm on a Wednesday night. So we opted to dine in as they said the wait may be closer to 30 minutes if we dine in! SO in the future if you're looking to get take out from this place, I would definitely call ahead at least an hour beforehand :) Regarding the food, I enjoyed it! The Tony Clifton was actually surprisingly my favorite pizza!! It's a vegetarian pizza, which I typically don't go for, but the flavors were all so great and meshed well! We also got their take on the Haiwaiian which I usually love but it wasn't as good as I had hoped because the pineapple pieces were pretty small and thin so the flavor did not come through as much. I also thought the crust came out to be a little dry. However, overall, I would come back if I'm craving any thin crust pizza with fun toppings :)

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.

We've stopped to grab good slices to go several times, but this stop with RI Food Fights Lord of the Wings contest showed us another side of this fun place. We settled in to try the wings & really enjoyed the atmosphere. Pinball tables & bright artwork add to the fun. The smoky hot wings were fantastic - Crispy, tasty & spicy. The beer list was fantastic! It was hard to settle one. A Parthenon sweet stout proved a perfect foil for the wings. An order of parmesan garlic fries was addictive. We couldn't stop nibbling on them. Pizza J is definitely more than just good slices! Now we know.

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

We walk in to a old school pizza join with pinball machines and a big oven so far so good service was friendly and nice kind of hipster . I feel in love with the french fries for that reason alone, I've fell in love with this place garlic knots were was ok the Angelo's fries was pretty awesome just like the Italian restaurant I will be back for sure

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.

We love this pizza!!! Everyone is always so nice and the pizza is always delicious. So many vegan options as well. Appreciate the Bob Ross playing on one of the TVs.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Food: fantastic pizza with yummy creative twists. Vegetarian options available including a wings alternative. Bar: knowledgeable bartender offers an excellent cocktail menu and a wide assortment of beers to accompany pizza. Service is excellent & the staff are friendly and helpful. Ambiance is comfy with lots of pinball machines. . This has quickly become a regular spot for me after only a few visits. I noticed there was an outstanding trivia night as well.

This place has amazing vibes, the pinball machines and the art work are so cool, staff so kind. The gluten free pizza is the best pizza I have ever had, so fresh, crisp, and soft OMG. Also family friendly which makes it even better!

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.

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

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!

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?

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.

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.

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!

#RIFoodFights #BestPizzaRI - had a slice of pepperoni. This is a classic super thin foldable pizza with a very smooth gooey cheese and great pepperoni flavor and minimal oil dripping on the plate. I would easily recommend PizzaJ for classic New York style pizza. Staff is friendly and new pinball machines are fun to play.

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

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)!

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.

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.

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.

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