Aquidneck Pizza

Good Pizza. Not worth the Customer Service.

Sooo under rated when it comes to their breakfast! Breakfast Sandwiches are top notch, and so are the pancakes. Nobody gives this place a shot for breakfast because they would rather wait on 45 minute lines to Atlantic Grille, but the breakfast foods and pizza honestly blow AG away. Reasonably prices, and delicious food, super friendly staff, and awesome ambiance (Especially during Christmas time). Went here with a friend just last week and I am coming back every weekend. Even their lunch and dinner foods are delicious. Haven’t had a chance to try the pizza yet but it looks and smells amazing.

this place is a gem. great breakfast, dinner and pizza specials most nights, real friendly service. my only complaint us that they close early. as local pizza places go this is where you get the best bang for your buck.

They need an experienced line of cooks and a manager to run this place. Hostess was an absolute hustler and did a great job but she was the only 1 who seemed to be up to par.
Management needs to train cooks to keep things moving, read the slips and crank the orders out. Then have 2 people up front running tables and answering phones. Most of us waited over 45 minutes to receive orders.

Good joint. Had some chowder and a chicken parm grinder — both tasty. Quick service and good value for the price!

I usually just come here for terrific grinders and acceptable pizza, but today was my first time for breakfast. It was incredible! Great omelets with fluffy eggs, tasty and light pancakes, and deliciously crispy and seasoned potatoes. Combined with acceptable service, a casual ambiance, and great location, and you get a superb brunch locale.

The place is good for a quick pizza or wrap. The pizza is better than the national chains but not the best on the island.
The prices are fair for the quality. The grilled chicken wrap is awesome! Its also a bit messy, but its well worth it.

Stick with the pizza! I had a burger from here and the meat patty had that frozen rubbery taste… Do not get the burgers! On the other hand my family and I did have a pepperoni and cheese pizza from here and it was pretty good. Overall this is an ok restaurant, nothing I would go out of my way for.

The pizza was pretty decent and the service was good enough. The bar area upstairs could have offered more in the way of atmosphere and there could have been more tv’s to service the sports crowd. In my opinion there are better places to get pizza in Newport. As far as a pizza pub goes, it works — just not that well. I think they could improve by playing up the pub part a bit more by putting more on tap and working on the interior to foster more of that pizza pub style.

Had the meat lovers. Yum. Friendly service. Beer on tap. Recommend checking it out.

The FLIES!!! OMG The F’n Flies!!!
So disgusting to have flies buzzing all over my food and myself. I’m swatting them away and the staff is acting oblivious like they don’t even see them.
I don’t know what they’re smoking out back but they should share with the customers. I ordered 3 eggs with bacon home fries and toast. Not too complicated. But, the stoned waitress writes nothing down. A few minutes later she yells across the restaurant, ‘hey, did you want white or wheat?’ Then I get what appeared to be food. Unfortunately the type of toast I ordered wasn’t the only thing she forgot. There was no bacon and only 2 eggs. When I inquire about the bacon, she totally acts like I didn’t order it. Of course I ordered the goddamn bacon! Why do you think I’m here. Eventually they bring over some fried mess resembling bacon on a grease filled plate with the fryalator grease still dripping off.
The waitress who brought the food was just as stoned and couldn’t spit out the word ketchup… But, much sluttier so not nearly as bad.
Obviously won’t be back and wouldn’t have bothered posting. But, The F’n FLIES!!! Gross.

Had the Veggie Pizza and the Buffalo Chicken Pizza with side of Baked Potato Skins.
All were fantastic with friendly service. Plenty of parking and free which is rare being across the street from the ocean. We will return for sure

Couldn’t have been more disappointed with the service or the pizza at this place. Went in at 1230 for a slice of pizza and was told the slices were old but it wouldn’t be a long wait for a pie. For a place that is open till 3 am… You would think slices would be available past midnight. Anyways the quick wait for a pizza ended up taking over 40 minutes in an empty restaurant.
We asked how much longer it would be after waiting for 30 minutes and were told our first pizza was burnt and the second should be out in a couple minutes. I was so disappointed that the staff chose not to check in with us and let us know and just let us keep waiting. When asked what they could do the cook told us, quite rudely «that he wouldn’t take anything off the bill but he would give us a free small if we wanted to wait»
Finally ate the mediocre pizza and hour later… Needless to say we won’t be returning. And would recommend that others do the same

Perfect spot for a pie and a couple of inning of Red Sox Base ball with out the worry of anything…

Mom and I have been going to Aquidneck Pizza for years. A friend turned me onto their delicious pies in the late 1990’s, and since then I’ve taken — and suggested it to — most of my family and friends. This is my sister Mallory’s favorite pizza of all time, so naturally Mom and I were super excited about stopping in for a late night slice … or more.
We arrived at around 10 p.m. after taking a fun drive through busy Newport. We like to see the people in the streets and smell the delicious food coming from the restaurants. Even though we could have chosen any «hot spot» to visit, we wanted Aquidneck Pizza — a double decker restaurant that has late night/​early morning hours and delicious food.
Mom and I ordered our favorite — a large extra-​cheese pizza ($ 11.79) — and two Diet Cokes ($ 2 each). Our total came to $ 17.05. We took a table at the back of the restaurant and waited for our pizza, which came out fast and smelled fantastic.
It’s funny, because if you ask us what our favorite pizza is, we will give you about four or five different answers. We like different pizzas for different reasons, for example:
Best bar pie: Cape Cod Café, Brockton/​Raynham/​Bridgewater, MA
Best «old school» pizza: Caserta Pizzeria, Providence, RI
Best four cheese pizza: Spumoni’s Restaurant, Pawtucket, RI
Best crust: Federal Hill Pizza, Warren, RI
Best delivery chain pizza: Papa Gino’s, various locations
As for Aquidneck Pizza, we would rate this as our best «all-​around-​awesome» pizza. Every time we have it, it’s like we’re having it for the first time. The taste is outstanding, there is always a perfect amount of cheese and sauce and the crust is nicely crisp. It really is a perfect pizza. Just ask my sister! To her, it is the only pizza place that matters.
Once Mom and I dug into our pizza, there was no stopping us. Before we knew it there was nothing left on the pan and we were rolling back into the parking lot. Our waitress was awesome and the restaurant is always clean and neat. It actually has one of Mom’s favorite public restrooms because everything has been modernized.
I can picture gaggles of drunk college kids stumbling into Aquidneck from the beach bars to sober up with some pizza or perhaps one of their breakfast dishes. You really can’t go wrong with anything at «AQ.» We’ll be back!

Had pizza here twice once at the location and once for pickup. Not my favorite pizza, I prefer big NY style slices. It was ok though. The girl behind the register has been fantastic both times even recommending deals and other items with a smile. Not bad deals by the way if your into that. If you order a large you get a free small cheese pizza, which is great if you have kids that don’t respect the eclectic series of toppings you like on your pizza. I recommend checking it out if your near first beach and craving a quick pizza.
I would however recommend the mezethes appetizer. It’s my new favorite and includes dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), grilled pita, feta, spanakopita, and cucumber sauce. I also get an order of their east/​west wings.

Pizza was warm and melty, but that’s about it. There was very little sauce on the pizza, and the crust left much to be desired. I didn’t have high expectations, so I wasn’t thoroughly disappointed, but there wasn’t much great about the pizza. It wasn’t absolutely horrible, but I wouldn’t get it again.
On the plus side, they did deliver (to the correct address on the second try) in pretty crummy winter weather.

This was the first time here. It was recommended to me by a co-​worker. We arrived at 4:40 p.m. on a Friday, I wanted to dine upstairs, it opened at 5:00, so my boyfriend and I took a walk and came back, glad we did. It was really nice upstairs, clean, open, with a great view of the beach! We had a large pizza and an antipasto. The waitress was very friendly and professional. The antipasto was delicious and different from other antipastos I’ve had. The pizza smelled delicious… and it was! The crust was perfect and all the ingredients were fresh. I would definitely come back again, I really enjoyed the food!

I was lucky enough to eat their pizza today at a retirement party for one of our civilian employees. I felt like a pig because i had to try a slice of every different pie. Lol hawaiian was the best in my opinion, im a big fan of pineapples. The meat lovers came in second but it would be clearly the winner if it had pineapples. Lol. The meats that were on that pie were crazy! Overall, they have a great pizza. If you are in the Newport area stop by.

Stopped in this restaurant on a cold, windy, rainy Friday night recently and was welcomed by the shelter of this well-​lit, clean, and modernly decorated business. Immediately upon entering, our party was directed to sit where we’d like. Place was deserted except for a few regulars sitting at the bar watching the flat screen television mounted on the wall. A sign read ‘Upstairs seating closed’ so I’d have to assume there is a 2^nd floor to this place when its jammin’.
Our server seemed to be running the whole place this night.. . serving drinks at the bar, taking our orders, preparing things in the kitchen. He was quick, efficient, and got our food out to the table with little wait. He was non-​obtrusive and seemed to stop by whenever we needed something.
Though I was tempted to order from their all-​day breakfast menu I ended up ordering a large White Pizza. Best decision I’d made all week. The dough was fresh and soft, the mixtures of cheeses combining to cause an explosion of happiness in my mouth. I’m no pizza expert but this is some of the best I’ve tasted in a while. Mozzarella sticks had an outer covering crunchier than I’m used to but still hit the spot. All for around $ 20.. . not bad for a Friday night out.
Took our party a while to leave.. . convincing ourselves to step out of the delicious smelling atmosphere, back into the battering of cold winds off the ocean, waves crashing within view from the front door of this establishment. I expect I will return after a long sun-​soaked day at Easton’s Beach, rather than one spent dodging raindrops and hurricane gusts.
