Aquidneck Restaurant-Pizzeria

I live about five minutes from Aquidneck Restaurant & Pizzeria. I've been eating there frequently for a year now and so far I've always enjoyed the food and service there! I find the quality of the food and service to be very good and very consistent so far. Neither have varied like other restaurants I know in the area. This restaurant has the absolute best home-made meat/cheese lasagna (to die for!) and very good homemade soups. I also like their appetizers, the good selection of deserts (love the French silk chocolate pie) and I like the plain cheese pizza. They're not skimpy on the cheese. They also sometimes offer a free small one when you order a large one. I think it depends on what day. The restaurant also has their liquor license. I eat at the restaurant for breakfast sometimes and so far - again - I've never been disappointed. I always feel welcome there, but then again I'm a regular, but overly friendly whenever I eat out! I'm a big believer in the Law of Attraction when it comes to dining-out. In regards to delivery service at Aquidneck Restaurant & Pizzeria - sometimes the drivers have forgotten small items here and there like a soda or bread, but whenever I've called about such they never once gave me a hassle whatsoever. They've never once asked me to accept credit for next time I call. The drivers always came back promptly with the forgotten item. In regards to service at the restaurant during meal times I don't know how fast or slow their service is. I tend to make it a point to never eat at a restaurant when the place is packed or the lot is full. That'd be like asking for something to go wrong at most any restaurant (my opinion). I like to eat out during off-meal times at least by a little to help ensure good food, good, fast service or otherwise a great dining experience for my money. more

My wife and I are locals and are looking for somewhere every Fri for lunch. However If you want prompt lunch service, then skip this place. I'm sure they were looking after their regulars first (who were in after us and practically out the door by the time we got our basic sandwich lunch). Felt unwelcome so just left money and left immediately after eating Pros: Food is OK Cons: Slow service more

Pretty much sums it up. Pros: Pizza, Parking, Location, Service, Delivery more

Yikes! Absolute worst Pizza experience. I've lived on the island 9 years and have tried almost all. I ordered delivery. The Pizza arrived late, lukewarm, greasy and without sides. After a phone call, sides arrived 1/2 hour later, by then Pizza was ice cold. Customer service skills totally non-existant. Their response to the problem was hanging up the telephone. There are many Pizza places in Newport and Middletown & Portsmouth go to ANY of them before ordering from Aquidneck Pizza. If you like Pizza and prefer good customer service, this is not the pizza place for you Pros: Absolutely none Cons: Pizza/Customer Service more

Nice, clean restaurant with beer and wine. Pizza was a New England Style or what I like to call a Greek Style Pizza. A medium thick, buttery, crisp crust with a spicy sauce. Cheese was ample and the pepperoni was tasty and the supply was sufficient. Would recommend to anyone going to Newport area. Pros: Parking, Clean, New Interior, Liquor license, Food Cons: Seems to be a hangout for kids more

I have been a customer of this restaurant for over over 25 years. They have, hands down, the best pizza I have ever tasted. I lived in Boston for over 5 years (moved back to the island a few years ago) and had to suffer through the supposed world class pizza's of Pizzeria Regina and the other Italian restaurants in the North End. None of them hold a candle to Aquidneck Pizza. The restaurant is family owned and operated, the prices are great, the portions are very genorous, the location is fantastic, and the service is outstanding. \r \r The restaurant just re-opened early this year (2006) after shutting down for a year long renovation in which they completely re-built the bulding, adding a second floor and full bar. They did a wonderful job and the restaurant now boasts beautiful views of the beach and cliff walk. Plus, since they re-opened, they now deliver (I even got a pie delivered to me in the middle of a big snow storm earlier this year when everything else on the island was closed!).\r \r One note, on the menu there is much more than just pizza...the reataurant should probably be listed under Italian Cuisine since they also serve pastas, lasagna, steaks, chicken dishes, soups, salads, etc.... all very tasty as well...(the eggplant dishes are world class btw).\r \r Highly recommended!!! Pros: Food, atmosphere, full bar more
