Socrates Pizza

I am sad to say that Socrates pizza is poor. I ordered a small extra pepperoni and Greek pizza.
First the crust was crunchy but lacked flavor… the Greek appeared to be a «white» sauce cheese pizza with no other ingredients… since it was take out I did not discover this until I got home.
The flavor on both was decidedly cardboard like. Diego, Miyako and Isabela were in full agreement with my assessment.
The gentleman at Socrates was friendly and attentive but it did not make up for the crap flavor of the pizza. My search for a good local pizza joint continues… it appears that homemade pizza is the clear best option. Diego’s dough recipe couple with his spicy sauce and nitrate free pepperoni is a much better option than the local pizza joint offerings.
Salud!

Thanks to Unilocal found this very good establishment.
Upon entering, friendly greeting by the man who I’m guessing was the owner. Looked around and saw some excellent RedSox décor on the walls, very clean and bright inside, by no means does the dining area look like it hasn’t changed since the late 70’s like a lotta small pizza houses. None of those weird shaped booths, very comfortable atmosphere with a few big TVs. These guys are sports fans and avid fisherman.
When I check out a new place on the road, I usually order small to get a sense of quality, and a good barometer is an Italian grinder.
Here is the thing: I think with all the conversation, he forgot my girlfriend asked for no hots on it due to heartburn issues. The sub came out fast, it was dense with quality bread and ingredients. We were just up the road when we discovered the gaffe, called him up and when I returned with the hots grinder, he was already out the front door with our replacement, waved off the return sandwich and was sincere and decent about the simple mistake.
The no-​hots grinder was excellent, fresh ingredients in a perfect distribution. The same quality you would find in some of the better delis downtown.
Next time we try one of those white pizzas they have on the board and maybe a gyro to take to work for lunch. For that reviewer who was miffed by seeing they use frozen lamb patties, 90% of all Gyro place I’ve been to do the same, fresh lamb doesn’t keep long and is big bucks. They would have to charge $ 12 a gyro, and not likely to sell many at that price. The secret is having good flatbread and taziki (spellcheck please) sauce which they probably do.
There’s a lot to like about this place.

Ordered a few times-​Best pizza in NK
Will be my go to place for Pizza!
Sauce is good and the pizza has a nice crunch to it
When I went to pick up my order the lot was packed and line almost out the door.

A nice Greek style pizza that always has that crunch as they slice it up. Could use a bit more sauce for my liking. Mom and Pop run and always clean. They also make a mean submarine sandwich and one of my favorites the Gyros. I only wish they delivered. If I can’t find a nice thin Italian pie then my next choice is always Socrates.

This place if good. Good pizza and gyros. No open on Sunday unlike however, which is not what Unilocal publishes.

They don’t answer the phone. I called numerous times to check on my order. The phone just kept ringing.

You don’t deliver? You are a pizza place, and bad news, you aren’t Pepe’s in New Haven, you are socrates in NK.
Pass the delivery cost to the customer if you have to, but offer it, you are a pizza place.

The perfect neighborhood pizza spot. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Pizza is spot on, cooked to perfection and loaded with toppings.

Stopped in tonight with my wife and grandson. Ordered small white pizza grandson loved it. Ordered a small special was very good nice crisp topping not soggy full of flavor .Also orded 2 gyros perfect nice tangy tzatziki sauce red onion and tomato lamb and beef mix. This is not gourmet pizza .Just an honest well made greek pizza. We will be back.

After having great pizza while on a New Years trip to NYC my get healthy and start eating better resolution went out the window. I was craving pizza and being new to the area I did really know any spots that would stand up to the pizza I had while in the city. While driving to the car wash I came across Socrates pizza. At first I didn’t really know what to think I had just completed philosophy and thought I bet Socrates would have made a great pizza. I walked into the restaurant and was treated like family, you might have thought I was a regular. I got my pizza to go and couldn’t resist the temptation to have a slice while driving home. Most people (unlike myself) might have stopped after one slice while drive especially if you were driving a stick like I was. The pizza was excellent! I have also ordered delivery and let me tell ya… The pizza was just as good and the delivery guy climbed a mountain of snow to get to the front door! Now thats service!

Neat, clean, friendly, family run, quality. I love their meatball grinder and have not ordered anything else.

Amazing pizza, crispy pepperoni and crust .
Always Great Friendly service from a great family.
Spread the word

Socrates is absolutely the best. The nicest family runs it and the food is delicious, hot and fresh. Whenever I go there, someone always helps me out to my car, holding the door for me. Service like that is just not common anymore! I’ve used the delivery service on occasion and the order has always gotten here when they said it would.

Island Pizza in East Greenwich relocated. Same friendly people and staff. Decent prices, good food. You can tell they can take a great amount of pride in their food.

Absolutely the best, one of my favorites, eat there all the time !!!
I could not say enough about Soc’s Pizza, I must eat there at least twice a month if not more. The food is great and the staff are very friendly and courteous. Have been a customer for 15 to 20 years and the consistency is there, always a great place to eat. The old Soc’s — to Island Pizza — back to Soc’s. Great family business.
Do yourself a favor and give it a try. Very simple menu of pizza, sandwiches and finger foods something for everyone.
Kid and family friendly.

This is a small pizza joint in NK that took over the Subway place when they moved up the street. Although the pizza I got there wasn’t bad tasting, the crust is too thin for me, and the prices too expensive. Compared to the other pizza joints around they have a very small specialty pizza list, and, they aren’t all that special. Just a standard mix of 3 or 4 toppings. And they run from $ 16 to $ 20, way too much for what you get. Nice folks there but too little for too much in my opinion. You can do much better in NK and nearby EG…:)

Good pizza. Very nice crust. Gyro needs more meat less cheese sause

This is one of the only places I know of that has Gyros around the North Kingstown/​Coventry areas. I was very excited to see a place like this come to within a reasonable distance of where I work for more lunch options.
The owner is a great guy and seems to know a lot about some of his regular customers. He is very talkative and makes sure everyone in the place has what they need.
The menue has tons of various options for sammiches, pizzas, and Gyro type dishes. Everything was fairly reasonable in price. Maybe slightly high but if it comes piled in ingredients I could see how they ended up at that price point.
I ordered up a standard Gyro and my mouth started watering… it had been so long since I had one. While I was half expecting to see the rotating spit of that mystery meat log I couldn’t see it… not sure if I should panic or not, but I kept calm. Something about seeing the meat shaved off that turning hunk of whatever it is is so satisfying.
To my dismay, strips of gyro meat were pulled from a cooler (freezer?). Pre-​cut strips were placed on a pan to thaw out and sear up a bit. Very disappointing to see that.
I am not sure it really affected the taste in the end but I saw how the sausage was made and it didn’t meat (meat, get it?) my expectations. The Gyro was good otherwise, It had a right amount of onions and that cucumber sauce. It was filling and satisfying… despite my other disappointments.
