    The capricciosa & the diavola (for those who like spicy 🌶) delicious

    Seating is very limited but the Pizza is amazing and great beer on the menu. Service could use an uptick.

    Pizza is amazing. The dough is flavorful, soft and crispy. Their pizza oven works wonders.

    The dough is done right, but the sauce and the sausage had no flavor. Go to Graffiato or 2 Amy's for great Italian pizza.

    Terrific pizza with a good chew. Mostly friendly though inattentive and inconsistent service.

    The Diavola pizza is mighty delicious: DOP San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di latte mozzarella, basil, spicy salami, red peppers

    Start off with the delicious appetizer of Coccio: garbanzo beans, Fior di latte mozzarella, Bulgarian feta, olive oil. Served with celery & freshly baked crostini bread. It's like Italian hummus!

    Serious pie enthusiasts have made the pilgrimage to Menomale since its 2012 opening for Ettore Rusciano's authentic Neapolitan pizza.

    Great little spot with outdoor patio, near Rhode Island metro. I loved the Chef's Special pizza, piled high with arugula & prosciutto.

    Great Neapolitan pizza, and even sandwiches are made with pizza dough. Salads with fresh arugula and some creative cocktails. Tiny, but worth multiple visits.

    I give it a 12! Best Italian I've had since Europe. Have to try la bomba for dessert!

    Eating here reminds me of eating in Europe where ingredients are fresh, beer is the preferred drink over water, and a high-quality meal doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.

    Try the spicy Diavola or the arugula-topped Di Ettore:

    The la bomba is amazing! Kinda an Italian chocolate filled doughnut.

    I ask for my crust well done, otherwise its a little chewy for my taste.
