Providence Coal Fired Pizza is Rhode Island’s only Coal-Fired Pizza Restaurant using authentic Pennsylvania coal. Our coal oven is even more unique - designed and manufactured in Bellingham, Washington, our custom oven cooks authentic pizza recipes, along with other coal-inspired menu items such as wings, chicken, and other traditional menu items.
"My new "go-to" restaurant. Perfect for small groups. Everybody orders and then shares. Everything cooked to order, nice and fresh. Wings are delish....straight out of oven. Love the coal-fired experience."

"I had a reservation for a group of 6 and we got 3 pizzas, which was just perfect (only one piece left). The meatball pizza's crust was soggy, but that was the only negative about the food. The pizza with the mushroom and truffle oil was fantastic, as was the pizza with the arugula. We didn't get appetizers but the baked goat cheese sounded phenomenal. Parking can be a real issue though they do have "complimentary" valet parking (I gave the valet attendant a $5 tip). It's kind of in an odd location around the corner from a gentleman's club. Overall I would say it was a great experience and I'd go back."

"Overall the atmosphere is good for a pizza/bar restaurant. Pizza was good (a 6 on a 1-10 scale), but a bit burnt on the crust. Also a tad bit more topping would improve the pizza in my opinion. However the salad was very, fresh and a good size. A must have!"

"The pizza is great...tender crust, crunchy an chewy, fresh herbs. But the unsung hero is the wings. Even vegetarians succumb to them. You can taste the rosemary and they are not greasy . They would be truly decadent with something to plant the onions on."

"Good pizza Wings are great One complaint: they did not keep the open table reservations up to date for the restaurant. So on open table it looked like there were plenty of reservations, When in fact the place was packed and we had to wait!"

"I have been there twice and both times have been very good. I recommend the wings, the goat cheese app and the pizzas are excellent. Get there early on the weekends and the noise level is very high. Tom, our waiter both times, was very informative and friendly."

"The food was excellent, but the staff were unfriendly and poor communicators. Additionally, it was so loud that we couldn't hear one another speaking from right across the table. I'd love to get take-out next time because the food was so good, but I don't think I'll be able to tolerate the restaurant itself again."

"Sit at the kitchen bar to watch all the action. Sit at the end nearest the kitchen to catch all the banter between the waitstaff and the pizza chefs...it's great free entertainment."

"Our experience was good but not great. The food was very good. Service was a little slow and impersonal. The noise level was really high, from the music but also other chatter...and the restaurant wasn't even full. It was perhaps not the best choice for a social business meeting."

"This was a good place to go on a weeknight with adults who like decent food and a child who doesn't like a lot. The pizzas seemed a little expensive, but they were tasty, as were the salads. This was a nice find to add to our list of everyday restaurants in Providence. The service was quite good."

"Stephanie our server is by far the best. The food is always awesome, but having great service just tops it all off. I love this place and tell everyone i know. You havent had real pizza until youve eaten at Providence Coal Fired Pizza. Love it see you next week."

"My first time here, got a peperoni pizza. Crust was burned black on top, most of the peperoni was blackened on the edges. Seems the locals like it that way. I didn't care for it. The beer was good, got an IPA they had on tap. Service was very good, my waitress was prompt and efficient."

"Made a last-minute reservation for dinner before going to a show with my gf on Saturday night. We were seated right away at the counter surrounding the pizza oven and prep area and entertained ourselves watching the activity there. Even though our server also had to wait on a party of 30 we never had to wait long. Drinks and appetizer came quickly. We had the wings which are amazing and then split a Conrad pizza which was also very good. Definitely a keeper."

"I've been twice now. The first time was for lunch and we just happen to walk upon the restaurant! We went back two weeks later for a birthday dinner and it exceeded our first experience! Friendly workers and great atmosphere and the food is delicious!!"

"I was a little disappointing after hearing good reviews. The pizza had a horrible "burnt" "carbon" taste too it. Despite the burnt taste the crust was quite soggy. The venue also lacks a diversity of good appetizers. For a "Gourmet Pizza" restaurant wings just don't seem appropriate. We also noticed the place was quite loud, the "club music" playing made it difficult to talk over dinner."

"We ate at the restaurant prior to a show at the Providence Preforming Arts Center. PPAC is a block away and an easy walk. My party of three had the chicken wing appetizer, a half pepperoni and half mushroom pizza, and a salad. The portions were generous, tasty, and we were very full by the end of our meal. The service was good despite the restaurant being very busy and food arrived at our table very hot. This restaurant is not a place to go to if you want to have a quiet meal. The very high ceilings seem to amplify the background music. One cautionary note, if you get the chicken wing appetizer, don't eat the delicious onions that cover them unless you're prepared to be ostracized for two days. My wife ate the onions and she reeked."

"Place was packed on a Saturday. We were able to get reservations a few hours beforehand and got seated right away. Goat cheese appetizer was hot and delicious. The highlights here are obviously the pizzas. Extremely thin crust, great sauce and toppings. One pizza easily big enough for 2. Would highly recommend this place if you want fresh home made pizza in RI that's in the spirit of New Haven style pies"

"Just a cool place with a great vibe, wonderful bar, and even better food. Not your typical pizza joint. Staff is friendly and personable. David, the chef, is more than happy to tell you about the unique cooking technique. Open kitchen so you can watch them in action.
Everything is cooked in a coal fired oven that gives the food a great taste without the overwhelming smoke of a wood fired oven. I usually get the wings, oven baked not fried, and ribs, tender, juicy, fall-off-the-bone, served on a bed on cold red cabbage salad to start. Pizza? Not what you think. All fresh ingredients. Great variety of cheeses. Choose any one of their distinct offerings or make you own combo, they are all delicious. My favorite, the “Baby Bella”,"

"Have been PCFP three times in the last month. Each time have tried a different pizza and found them all to be excellent. The salad with humus is the best. Enjoy having dinner here before a PPAC show and then having a drink after at the bar after the show. I reccomend making a reservation on weekends as the wait can be as long as two hours."

"If you're in the mood for a somewhat fancier sit-down take on pizza in downtown Providence, Providence Coal Fired Pizza should definitely be under consideration. The pizzas are delicious, with a crispy thin crust full of flavor from the oven that delivery places just cannot duplicate. Also, the beer list is impressively long, and the cocktails are tasty. The appetizers leave something to be desired--we were hungry, but none of the options (which mostly appeared to be salads, even though there was a separate "salad" category) jumped out at us. The dessert options are similarly limited, but the chocolate mousse was pretty good. The pizza is the real star, though, and deservedly so."
