I have a great friend — I have referenced her HERE before -- who is a tougher food critic than The Fireside Gourmet (you thought I was going to say Dave Portnoy…remember The Fireside Gourmet was the food critic who out-of-nowehere popped into the pizzeria in Mystic Pizza, the 1988 movie featuring a young Julia Roberts) and her NEW go-to for PIZZA FRIDAY is…

PIZZA VIDA on Boston Neck Road (apparently it used to be a Kingston Pizza) in North Kingstown which I had no idea about until I heard her singing its praises.

Anywho, these pies are worth checking out.

They are generously sized (their small is not tiny), everything’s made in house from scratch, the crust is crispy, and they have a gazillion different ones to choose from.

Popular orders include their Bianca, Fenway, 5 Chees, & The Ultimate Pizza.

Also: I popped in on a random Thursday a while back and they cooked up a terrif veggie pie for me in minutes.

Find Pizza Vida at 677 Boston Neck Road in North Kingstown (RI).
