Napolitano on Federal Hill - authentic NY style pie. Flavorful crust, good sauce.

I love how many styles of pizza you can get in the Providence area.

Important to speak against it if you can but it's unlikely to go anywhere. It's such an asinine bill that will only make the housing crisis in Providence worse and ultimately fix nothing.
Ordinarily NIMBY bills like this would have a chance but with housing the way it is, passing it would get whoever voted for it tarred and feathered.
Helen Anthony just doing dumb NIMBY shit again like she always does because boomers think housing with multiple college students isn't great to live near and we need to think of the poor property values in those areas.

Yeah that's why I call too figured the apps take too much out of the thier cut. Now that they are open for lunch most days I just order before the evening rush.

They are on Slice, the issue is Slice doesn’t have their correct hours so you can’t always rely on it - but sometimes it’s helpful.
I asked them point blank if ordering that way took away too much of their margin and they’d prefer I call - they were non-committal.

It’s prob not gonna go anywhere. But most students aren’t residents. It’s not like this one meeting will dramatically shift the outcome.

Pizza Marvin for me. Like a Rhode Island bakery pizza but hot and cheesy.
#1 quality I appreciate in a food item: Heavy.

Haha same here! I had been traveling for like 15 hours and missed the commuter rail at South Station by a few minutes. I didn’t feel like waiting the two plus hours the next one. So I spent $75 on the Uber and was home within an hour.

I was at yesterday's matinee in the first dress circle, and I definitely had problems understanding some of the dialogue.

Since it hasn’t been said yet throwing Silicia’s deep dish cheese on Atwells.

Got it. When I use Logan it’s usually for longer trips - so I have next to no patience when I get back. But this is a good alternative!

Because whoever moves into that space needs to make a profit and with JWU’s Free labor through culinary and business students, they are a viable tenant

Why would JWU rent space when they can get free real estate anywhere else from this city.

So many places claim to be NY Style - that clearly are not.
I think it’s just a name thing to get people in the door.
New Haven style just isn’t propped up by being in the center of American media.

Roma on the hill honestly has the best pizza in RI, closest I’ve found to true NY style , only downside is they’re a deli so they do close at 6

Pizza Coin seemed interchangeable with Piemonte for me. It’s solid but not spectacular.
And if my choices were there, Big Tony’s or Milanos 👎🏻. They seem like the business I’d want to support most.

Marvin is #1 and Jeff’s is #1A. He’s just further out of providence.

Nope. I would have left at intermission but my sister and niece were with me, and they spent a lot of money to be there.

I’m glad I’m not alone about the sound. I have season tickets and have noticed audio issues in the past, but not enough that it obscured what was happening. I don’t think I’d ever see this play again. (Some of my recent favorites are Come From Away and Jagged Little Pill.)
