Giuseppe's Pizzeria Bistro

"We were excited to try this pizzeria as we are new to the area, we tried a few weeks ago and were turned away by a male host who was extremely condescending and rude, laughing when we didn’t know reservations were needed. The hours are also not very friendly when trying to make a reservation, as they don’t open till 4:30. So fast forward to tonight, I want to point out that the host station and waitress were very good, very professional and nice, top notch actually. Fortunately, the two young ladies my wife spoke to when making tonight’s reservations were extremely professional. The rest not so good. The kitchen made an error and cooked a small pizza in place of a large. They did acknowledge this error and gave us the large to go and gave us the small at the table, but still charged us full price for the large. Based upon how we were first treated not knowing a reservation was needed and told you’re lucky I can squeeze you 90 minutes from now I believe errors like that can’t afford to be made. Overall, for a large and small pizza, an app to split and 4 drinks, $160 plus is just not worth it, it wasn’t that good to warrant that price tag. Don’t think we will go back as there is no value, the food was just so so and the atmosphere was rather pretentious."

"I’ve been here a few times and each time I was extremely pleased. The first time we went was because we had sat in another establishment for nearly 20 minutes and never so much as got a menu nor a glass of water. At Giuseppe’s, we were barely in our seats and a young man poured us water, a young lady came with hot bread, like a well oiled machine. We’ve tried pizzas that melted in our mouth, pasta dishes that were cooked to perfection and desserts that were above and beyond. Nonna’s meatballs are quite obviously house made as well. I’ve never done take out, but all of our dine-in experiences have been a real treat!"

"Worst pizza I’ve had in a while!! I called and complained about it and the manager basically had nothing to say, no offer of refund or free pizza in the future or anything. I told him I would have been better off going to Dave’s market paying half as much for better pizza, then told him I would never be going back there….he said “it’s unfortunate to hear that” and hung up. This place is terrible. My jaw literally hurts now from chewing it. Came highly recommended, not sure why. Crust was super hard, zero flop. Chewy and hard to chew honestly. Crust is like a rock and super crunchy. Very little cheese, very little sauce, light toppings. Proteins were scarce. We got cheese and pepperoni, arugula & prosciutto w/ balsamic, and a sausage & rabe. Not worth $50+ for 3 smalls. Nowhere near the top of my list. They probably look better than they tasted which doesn’t say much. Stay away!"

"Their pizza is absolutely delicious. Some of the best I've had in RI. I was impressed with the service given it was a full house; the staff was clearly working very hard. I'm glad I found this hidden gem. I will be back."

"Fun little spot with great food and drink! Bar is small, so get there early…seats will be N/A during peak times unless you’re lucky. Service was great and Dan makes the best French 75! Selective menu and the bolognese was perfect! Worth the stop."
