Boulevard Pizza

The food is usually pretty good, but I have ordered delivery twice and the driver was incredibly rude. When I opened the door, I was not greeted with a «hello,» but instead in a nasty tone of voice, «why don’t you answer the phone?» The phone number on file is my boyfriends number. I was right next to him when she called, told him she was outside, and he said we would be right out and hung up. I went to the door right away. She claimed to have called 4 times with no answer, handed me the food and went back to her car without a «have a nice night.» This same thing occurred twice. The driver was a small girl, dark skin, dark hair, and a Spanish sounding accent. This customer service was disgusting and I won’t order from here again.

If I could give a place 0 stars I would. Ordered from Foodler for dinner awhile back. We got a cheese calzone and teriyaki chicken fingers to share. The food arrived quick and smelled heavenly. After several bites into the calzone we were just getting bread. When we finally got to the cheese we noticed it was extremely chewy. I tried to swallow and almost choked. After close inspection of what I was chewing and the rest of the calzone there was at least a half inch of raw dough surrounding the cheese. We put the calzone aside and started eating the teriyaki chicken. After a few bites we realized the breading seemed mushy and the chicken had a weird taste. We threw the chicken away as well. Within 30 minutes we both had the worst bout of food poisoning; the kind where you wish you had two bathrooms in your tiny apartment. When I got the Foodler email asking me to rate my experience I responded honestly. I got a quick response that someone from Boulevard would be reaching out to me. I never heard back and definitely will never return.

Order from grub hub all the time they are pretty solid until recently. We usually get awesome food from this place, but are going to give it a break for a while as the last pizza we had in tasted and looked like a cheap frozen pizza from the grocery store. They are more expensive than other pizza places, so I think they could do better. Perhaps we got them on a bad night. We are back to Two Tomatoes now on GrubHub.

Soggy Onion rings; Steak and Cheese could use more meat; it was not the best I’ve had. For the money d’angelo’s is better and they are far from the top.

This place boggles me. I’ve ordered 3x so far.
The good:
friendly staff, they are are very quick after ordering. Good clean average pizza shop. The prices are great
The Bad:
It’s just the inconsistency. I’ve gotten an ok pie, then a really good pie, then an ok pie
Pepperoni is good. Margarita was eh.
Maybe it’s ingredients not sure.

Sooooo not worth it! Bland, boring pizza and they charge a delivery fee even to locations a mile away. Shady operation.

I got a 4 cheese calzone and it was so so good. Also chocolate cake was amazing lol. It was very fast, I think it was here 15 minutes before the estimated time and the delivery driver was friendly.

I hate posting bad reviews but they are just as important as the good ones, right?! We called for delivery at 8:52 on Sunday night and didn’t receive our order until 9:48. That’s almost an hour for delivery less than a mile away, on a random Sunday night in early March. The food was luke warm, at best. We ordered the Chicken Primo Pizza. It’s tasty but for the large half-​wedges of garlic scattered all over the place. You think you’re biting down on a perfectly tender broccoli stem but really, it’s just a large garlic clove. Hello Heartburn! The Mac and Cheese bites sounded promising, and may very well be great, but since I experienced them cool and coagulated… not so much! Again, I hate giving poor reviews because it’s important to support your community and local businesses, but they can never improve if they don’t know there’s anything wrong. Happy Eating!

The food is fantastic especially the panini sandwiches, they never disappoint. However Delivery took over an hour, and my house is not far from the restaurant. I normally love ordering here but I don’t think I will be ordering for delivery from them again, unless I don’t mind waiting over an hour and half to eat, and I do.

Ordered lunch for 6 at 11am. It was just delivered at 12:36. No courtesy call to say they were running over a half an hour late.

Let’s call this «USING YOUR HEAD FOR SOMETHING OTHER THAN A HAT RACK!»
Placed an order and was informed that the delivery may take one hour. Fine, we can deal with this considering the snow. One hour and fifteen passes and so I telephone and am informed that the order was canceled right after placing the order due to the snow storm. I was informed that grubHub should have phoned me and emailed me. NOPE. I did not receive any contact until I telephoned gH myself. While dialing out, gH was calling in. It was then that I learned that the Manager on Duty (MOD) for Boulevard Pizza canceled my order right before I telephoned him which was well after placing the order. The MOD lies like a rug and did not have the fortitude that he was born with to admit his error and the brains enough to cancel delivery WAAAAAYYYY before the storm started as the NOR-​ESTER has been all over the news for quite some time. SAVE YOUR $$$ and eat elsewhere. If you would like to discuss this in person, please feel free to call me at 401−218−3726. I am happy to share my POOR EXPERIENCE with Boulevard Pizza.
Below are the emails that we received on the order that we placed.

The food and customer service were excellent. I ordered through GrubHub and the estimated delivery time was 25 – 35 minutes. It was snowing outside, so I expected it would be longer than that. Before the time was up, I received a call from the restaurant letting me know that it would be a little longer than expected. I then got a call from the driver letting me know she was on my street and would be here shortly. That is a degree of great customer service I was not expecting.
I ordered a Greek chicken kabob sub, a tiramisu, and what was listed on GrubHub as «pineapple salad.» The sub and tiramisu were yummy. The pineapple salad was just chunks of fresh pineapple. It was perfectly ripe and sweet, so I enjoyed it and had a laugh about it being referred to as a salad, which implies more than one ingredient. The paper menu lists it as just pineapple, though.
Very pleased with both the food and the service and will definitely order again. I really like that they have multiple dessert options available, as well.

Clean place, consistently good thin crust pizza, fast delivery. Can’t ask for much more.

Normally they serve pretty good food but this time my order time was an hour and then delayed another 20 minutes for whatever reason. When my pizza arrived it wasn’t even warm and the cheese was solid and all the fat was on the top.

Not bad for late night grub. I always ordered here for delivery late at night from school.
Pizza and subs are good! They are very nice too.

If your looking for oven fresh pizza this is the pizza place to go. Located in a perfect part of Cranston easy access for the JWU students and local residents of Cranston. Walk in and it’s a nice Iranian style pizzeria with great seating and really nice staff. Their menu is huge offering calzones speciality pizzas regular pizzas and more. And offered at great prices for college students on a tight budget and in the mood for an oven fresh pizza. And to make things even better they deliver into the night so it’s really convenient. I ordered myself a chicken bacon ranch speciality pizza and it was just to die for. It took about 20 mins and it was well worth the wait. The pizza was so fresh and the crust was perfect. I will for sure be ordering pizza from here in the future. 5 stars in my book

It makes me sad. I want it to be good. But last night I was very unhappy.
The time before this: large pepperoni and olives and a chef salad. It was ok. Sauce is decent. Crust falls short. This ain’t New York or Boston pizza. There is no passion in it. It’s nothing special. It’s mediocre. And again, I just don’t want to settle for mediocre in this town anymore. I can get a better pizza all around at Dave’s market.
Last night:
–calzone. Something felt… Fake about it. The crust. I can’t totally explain it better than «fake». Soft in all the wrong ways. The steak and cheese filling was ok but it honestly could have been a frozen hot pocket.
–chicken kabob platter with fries. Dry chicken. The kind of dry that happens when you pre cook the chicken. Then warm it up with the onions and peppers on the flat top. The onions were snappy, which I like. The peppers were fine. But the chicken was sawdust. And that mess was conveniently dumped all over the fries so they were a total wet mess. Who does that? Who wants that? It should be illegal.
— Gyro plate: standard lamb loaf, onion and pepper over rice (which was actually the texture I love) with pizza sauce dumped all over it. That was not in the description at all and although it was not bad, it was so different than what I thought I was getting, it took me half the meal to realize I didn’t hate it. I feel like they were trying to hide something.
— grape leaves: yes I know they come from a tin and are standardized. But the order boasts 12 and only 6 came. Sad.
— delivery: it took over an hour and everything was Luke warm or cold. Was it ever hot? I don’t know.
I’m tired of wasting money.
Step it up or fade away.

I should have quite a few check-​ins at this place because I’ve gone quite a few times. I’m from New York, so finding a New York style pizza in New England is quite difficult. Welcome to your New York pizza style place.
Okay, you MUST try the fried eggplant pizza. And veggie with eggplant. It was off the hook. Hands down one of the best pizzas that I’ve ever had.
We’ve had the cheese and also pepperoni. I’m never disappointed. Sauce is flavorful, pepperoni can make for a greasy pizza regardless, but they’re not usually otherwise. They have that flour and oven baked flavor that I truly do love. Not crispy, which I truly appreciate because I am that person that hates crispy crust.
Size, flavor, sauce, cheese, it’s all great. They have quiet a few variety of options, but nothing I’ve tried yet.
Prices are good and parking is on the street. Another plus?! They’re open late! There’s also seating inside for those who want to eat in. Owners are super friendly.
I’ll definitely be returning, as they are just down the street from me!

I knew this place was too good to be true! Close to campus? Check. Cheap? Check. Pretty tasty? Check. Got food poisioning a few times? Check…
After my inital visit, I purchased a large 18″ pizza and brought it back to campus to eat throughout the week. Note that it was not sitting out very long. The first night I had one slice and felt very sick later in the evening. I didn’t think much of it and continued to eat the pizza the next day. Again, I faced gut-​wrenching stomach aches/​etc. That was the only food I ate consecutively between the two days.
In conclusion, it’s a risky move to eat here IMO. Don’t get me wrong, the pizza is pretty delicious for how cheap it is/​location, however I’m not sure if I want to play Russian Roulette with food poisioning…
…eat at your own risk…

I was surprised at the ease of ordering a vegan meal at this place; literally, all I had to say was, «I’m vegan, do you have any options?» and the guy who answered relayed so many yummy options I told him to surprise me.
I ended up getting a nice big wrap full of the yummiest & perfectly cooked veggies with a salad on the side. The order was fulfilled in less than 30 minutes and arrived hot & ready to eat (nothing worst than getting a meat-​free wrap to only find that its cold & was never toasted).
With great service, attention to detail (which is crucial for those with dietary restrictions) & decent prices, I’ll be coming here forever!
