“One of my favorite restaurants I have been going there for 13 years and never once had a bad meal. It’s totally awesome. Pricing is very Fair Awesome Pl., #1 in my book.“

“My wife and I stopped in on New Years Eve for an early dinner. And, as usual, it was an excellent experience. The food and service were top notch. I consider myself a shrimp scampi snob. Thus, I have a difficult time finding a restaurant that serves it as appetizing as this food establishment does. Their pizza is also darn good. If you chose to dine here, which I highly recommend, you will be satisfied. Keep up the good work!!!“

“Classic comfort Italian food.“

“Just moved to Fall River few months back and was looking for some food and Sam's pizza in Fall River is one of the best if not the best food I've tried. Always respectful, on time, and also they offer delivery. I give them a 10/10. If you haven't tried there food yet, get on over there and see what your missing out on.“

“Place is ALWAYS Perfect……Best Italian Food You Can Get Around Here“

“Great experience as always. The staff is so friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend“

“It’s the best pizza you can think of so many different styles and choices nothing like a chicken bacon ranch fresh out the oven 💯“

“This was an excellent amazing incredible dining experience!! We walked in late afternoon on a chilly Saturday afternoon. We were asked if we had a reservation, which we did not. The restaurant was maybe 1/3 full. We were seated at the bar which we actually really enjoyed. The menu had many tempting choices. We decided on a glass of wine for him and a Pumkin head for me. As an appetizer we chose the meatball appetizer and the warmed spinach salad! Both really very tasty! We chose a traditional margarita Neapolitan pizza - absolutely delicious!! But what really really stood out to us was Brian!! His clear passion for his craft and his restaurant was so crystal clear and we loved his enthusiasm!! It was clear his staff were all happy to be their best and the repeat customers on either side of us who professed their love for the place made us ask…. How can we get one of these in our town!!?? We will absolutely be back in the very near future!! Brian, his staff and their food all have us anxiously awaiting our next meal among friends at this fabulous place!!!“

“Truly hidden gem, menu selection is beyond anything I've ever seen, so many choices, prices are extremely reasonable and everything was beyond delicious. Truly remarkable place I've gone by many times not realizing it was there. Staff was very friendly, accommodating and food was prepared quickly. Highly recommend and can't wait to return for another delicious dinner, thanks again“

“hidden gem great ingredients excellent pizza“

“Great people, great pizza, great calzones, great grinders, great variety. They hit the ground running when they opened, and haven’t stopped. Easily the best of Warwick, and probably the state. I hope they’re here for many years…“

“Everything we had to eat was incredible! The drinks were also phenomenal! and the service was impeccable! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu“

“Dinner was excellent, great job! The family loved all of it.“

“Rhodes Pizza never disappoints! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you’re craving pizza. On my last order, I had a special request for the pepperoni to be cooked extra crispy, and they nailed it—perfectly crisp without being burnt. It’s always a great sign when a place not only listens to special requests but delivers them spot on. Service was friendly, order was ready right on time, and the quality speaks for itself. Highly recommend Rhodes Pizza if you’re looking for a local spot that gets it right every time.“

“Food is always authentic and delicious. Home made bread is good too. Never had a bad meal there.“

“My family tried Steve's tonight for the first time and we will most definitely be returning for more! Absolutely amazing!“

“Delicious slices available made for a fast and convenient 20 minute break. Great NY style here!“

“First time here and loved it. Everything I saw - I wanted...lol. Enjoyed it. Will be back to try things I did not get too. Yum“

“My family has been going to the Son’s since my grandfather (Papa Lou) moved across the street over a decade ago. We hosted my daughters 16th birthday party in the upstairs hall and had a wonderful time. Everyone is very welcoming and I just love the popcorn served. It is a great place!“

“Food and service was amazing, Jack’s family restaurant never disappoints!!“

“This was my first time eating here. Let me start off by saying I had the best scrod I have ever ordered in a restaurant. When the waitress came to take our order I decided on a grilled chicken sandwich. I did not want the fries so I asked to sub a side salad (which I normally do at any place where I order a sandwich, usually a up charge) she said we don't do that but you can have a potato and vegetable. Who would want that with a sandwich! I declined and ordered the scrod. She then asked what kind of soup I wanted (apparently comes with the meal) or you can have a salad. I can sub a salad instead of soup but not for the fries. ODD! The bill comes and I was charged for a side salad. This waitress never said there was a upcharge, which i found odd. I would have paid it anyway. To bad they don't offer something healthier than fries with their sandwiches. This would not be a place I would rush back to.“

“Great food and friendly service. Beautiful location.“

“Absolutely delicious meatballs! Pizza was fantastic! There were 4 of us and the food didn’t come out at the same time. My mom didn’t get her food until the rest of us were already finished but they were busy and the food was so good we didn’t hold it against them. Can’t wait to go back to try the pink vodka sauce! Would definitely recommend this spot.“

“The best Fresh homemade Fish and Chips around! All in an environmentally friendly box!! Try it“

“We haven’t been to Town Pizza in yrs. My wife and I came back for a visit. We were hoping to see the owner. But we found out from our waitress that he retired and sold to his niece. Well, we wanted a spinach pie. But, they don’t sell them anymore. Ty to our waitress Robin who suggested the calzones. They were delicious!! We had excellent service. Ty again Robin for the great service.“
