I have to admit that I hadn't even heard of this place until I saw it listed in a magazine for having one of the top pizzas in the country. I grew up in Brooklyn, and if nothing else, I know pizza. Bob and Timmy's spinach/mushroom/feta pizza was ranked above some of my favorite places - Joe's in NYC, Frank Pepe in New Haven - so I had to try it. It was amazing. My fiance and I got hooked on it immediately and would pick it up (they don't deliver) on a weekly basis. I've tried some other pizza toppings like their bbq chicken and four cheese as well as some non-pizza options like their salads and calamari. They weren't anything to write home about, but the spinach mushroom is a masterpiece. I don't know if it's better than Joe's and Frank Pepe, but with the crust of the grilled pizza being something like naan, it's definitely not anything I've ever had before. We've moved away from Rhode Island, but if we go back to visit, there is no doubt in my mind that we'll stop in for a pie.

So a couple of friends and I have been on a pizza kick lately. We had not tried Bob & Timmy's so we finally visited it for lunch. We went for a taste of both styles - one grilled margherita and a regular styled plain cheese pizza. We both felt the dough on the regular style was not very flavorful but was fresh. The sauce was very light and there was a generous amount of cheese. The grilled pizza seemed a bit under done yet was ok. Again, not a ton of flavor in the crust. even though it was grilled which surprised us. The tomatoes were thicker than desired and since they were not the native summer variety, you can imagine that they could not add too much to the dish. The basil added some nice flavor to the light (almost bland) fresh mozzarella (not a complaint, the nature of that style). The prosciutto was thicker chunks - more like traditional ham than it's namesake. Suffice to say we were a bit disappointed because we had heard so much about B&T's. We may try again to see if we just caught an off day. As this rating states, it was ok...unfortunately just ok. Update: I have been going to the one in North Smithfield and the results have been getting better and better. Getting the pizza well done adds a nice level of crispiness to the dough and makes it really stand out imo. So to be fair, I am moving the 3 to 4 stars.

The best grilled pizza around! We had the grille classic and were very happily surprised. The place does not look like much but the grilled pizza is worth the foray. The neighborhood is really not that bad one block away from federal hill.

Yes, the pizza is fantastic, but I cant believe no one has posted a review about the pasta dishes!! They are as delicious as the pizza if not more. My fave, The Hill Special has grilled chicken,sun dried tomatoes, and wild mushrooms in a smoked gouda cream sauce. Its more of a cold weather dish as it is rather heavy, but soo delicious and flavorful. The smoked gouda really adds another dimension to the sauce and for $14 the portion is huge. Salads are also super fresh (none of that ice berg stuff) and could feed 3 or 4 people....so people- branch out and try other stuff besides the pizza!!

One of the best wood grilled pizzas I've had in a long time. The crust is perfect, the sauce and toppings taste superb, and I would definitely come here again if I visit Providence. The people there were also very polite. I have to warn you though that their wood grilled pizza is very thin crust, so it's not filling; I ordered a garden salad prior to that order, and that filled me up.

Don't get me wrong. The pizza was good. The thing is though I have had much much better pizza in providence! Perhaps some of my issue with the pizza was that it wasn't hot... Try Nice Slice or Hope street Pizza.

The more I remember about how good this place was and how much i want to go back, I realize I should've given it 5 stars, not 4.

Great place for calzones and grilled pizza. It was a great find for a casual place so hidden on Federal Hill.

I hate doing this. It makes me feel like such a jerk. But really? The best grilled pizza? The best in New England? I sincerely hope not. A friend and I dined here once, and although the atmosphere and service were fine, the pizza was terrible. The crust was limp and bland, and the vodka sauce was almost completely flavorless. The sparse toppings did nothing to redeem the mess beneath. We left wishing we had eaten anywhere else on or near Atwells Avenue. Maybe it was an off night or maybe we ordered the wrong pizza. All I know is that I am not touching another grilled pizza until I make it to Al Forno.

Hands down best grilled pizza I have ever had anywhere. Smokes everything! My favorite from what I have had so far is the Four Cheese Pizza. This pizza has the perfect quantity of ingredients that work so harmoniously together, if you have a full bodied red with it, you can't beat it. Go here regularly when the urge arises. Don't want too many people to know about it as it has seemed to be more and more packed as I visit each time, but have to give it the credit it deserves! Thank you gentlemen for the great pizza!

I have to admit that I went to Bob and Timmy's after reading the GQ article online. It was worth it and it was affordable. I know they were featured in the article for their Spinach and Mushroom pizza but, not being a fan of mushrooms, I went with their Pizza II, which is a pizza with tomato sauce, onions, parmesian, and romano. It was very good. I found the crust to be fantastic, the closest I've had to Al Forno's in terms of taste though the sauce would have received 3.5 stars. My girl friend had the four cheese pizza with pink vodka sauce and it was excellent. I'm looking forward to trying their Margherita Pizza, especially since it's topped with prosciutto!

Right on Aaron! I had the white clam pizza here during one of my frequent trips to Providence to visit my sister. It was the best pizza I have had outside of NY. Bravo! Now that my sister has moved to Seattle, I don't know what to do. sniff... =(

We came here based on recommendations from a friend and we're not disappointed. We visited for lunch and were able to sit outside on the patio. There is plenty of seating on the patio and comfortable. Outside music playing and bonus, you get to people watch while you relax! Anne and I ordered an arugula salad with grilled vegetables with the house dressing. The salad was fresh and tasty...very good with the grilled veggies and house balsamic dressing. We ordered the margarita pizza wood fired...it was delicious! The cheese was still melting when the pizza arrived. It was very good and a great choice for lunch. They have several beers on tap, Anne enjoyed a 21st century American ale beer and I had my usual Sam Adams summer ale. This a great place to visit and enjoy pizza and beer!

Talk about hype. This place is listed as one of the 25 best pizzas in the world. I'm sorry, I just don't see it. I've had oven fired pizza before, and this is just ok. It certainly didn't blow my mind or anything like that. Fresh ingredients

Anne C.

Great recommendation from a friend if mine. Who knew Providence has some awesome grilled pizza and even in Federal Hill it was reasonable and delicious. Started with an arugula salad with the addition of grilled vegetables (which they were nice enough to add) and added a nice comexity and crunch. And can we talk about the house made vinegtrtte... Definately not oil based, more of an aeloi, but tasty to dip my salad in. For the pizza I split a margarita pie that they serve with prosciutto. Game changer!!! Really.. Take fresh mozzarella and add the salty prosciutto and you have yourself a winner. I might add this topping to all my pizza in the future. The crust was chewy without being tough and had a great taste to it. Topping to crust ratio was also spot on. In addition they also have some crazy pizza combos (lasagna and macaroni and cheese) but. I am sure they would be just as good as what I had for lunch.

PROVIDENCE: (SMITHFIELD WAY DIFFERENT) Went to B&T about a year ago and really liked it. Went back on Sat. and decided this is my favorite pizza place. Well worth the hour drive from Natick ! Cheeses pizza was Amazing as well as the fruit desert pizza !! Going to try the other B&T in Smithfield next weekend. Very friendly staff/waitresses. Enjoyable experience and very reasonable prices !!

Fast service. Not sure pizza was quite right, topping was cold should have said something but didn't. bottom was grilled and cheese melted but sauce and pepperoni was cold and dough was soggy not crispy like last time.

Painful all around. Saturday night @ 9. Long wait to be seated. Empty tables & no one to clean them. I had heard great things about this place & even saw several award placards on the wall for Best of RI so we decided to stay & see if the food was worth the wait. The service totally stunk! We were tossed out silverware with no napkins. The nice people at the table next to us gave us their wrapped ware. The food was just as terrible. Both the appetizer and the grilled pizza. Obviously short handed and a terrible virgin experience.

I adore Bob and Timmy's. Somehow I only ever come here with a group of 10 or so - they are always very accommodating of our giant demanding group, and it's great for us because we get to try several grilled pizzas! My all time favorite is the lasagna pizza because I love mozz and ricotta. It comes with spinach too, so it's practically healthy. I bullied all my friends into trying it and demanded them to agree with me that it is delicious. They also loved the BBQ chicken pizza (personally I thought there was too much BBQ sauce, but that's a silly complaint - like saying an ice cream cone has too much ice cream in it...), the sausage pizza, and the mushroom spinach pizza (sans some of the feta - there was an incredibly generous amount on there!). Basically, everyone liked something different so I think there's a pie for everyone! One time we also shared the salmon penne pasta which was delicious as well. But if you're there, I highly suggest going for the grilled pizzas! I would love to try the four cheese one next. ALSO they carry the grapefruit heffenrefferweiser? I can't pronounce or spell it, but it's the grapefruit beer and it is to die for. Tastes like fruit punch, but with a pleasant fizz. One of my friends who recently sampled 40+ beers at a beer festival said this was his fave, and I can see why! Anyway, I digress...go to Bob and Timmy's for the grilled (LASAGNA!) pizza and wash it all down with some amazing grapefruit beer (I don't know anywhere else you can get either of these together!). Cheers to summer!!

Not bad for a place that you would miss if you blinked when you drive by. Parking isn't the best but that's Providence for ya. The BBQ chicken pizza was great and their dough is really really good. We also ordered a bruschetta appetizer that was just mediocre.. A little too much garlic and slightly soggy. Wouldn't order it again. Someone at our table had a wrap as well that was delicious and came with some of the best fries I've had in awhile. I'd definitely come back here. Service was a little slow but the place was packed on a Monday night.. Must mean they're doing something right.

I've had the pink vodka sauce pasta and the grilled pizza. Both were superb! This is a great place to bring a date. Its location makes it kind of a hidden gem since it is on a side street. Great variety.

I don't say something like this lightly --- this is the best pizza I have ever had, anywhere. Just delicious. Since having it for the first time back in March I've traveled down from Boston a few times for the sole purpose of having the pizza. All the pizzas I've had there have been great but I think I'm partial to the buffalo chicken pizza. The crust really is so flavorful and the grilled-ness(?) adds a perfect little bit of char. I really can't say enough about how much I enjoy it.

Dante B.

The best pizza in the area. Our mushroom trio pizza tasted fresh and delicious, but I have loved any and all pizzas I've ordered from here.

Alex M.

Though the noise level during my most recent visit was a bit louder than usual, I believe this is some of the best pizza in the state. Always topped with fresh ingredients, the crust is what gets me every time. Recently, I devoured the grilled chicken pizza with roasted red peppers and gorgonzola cheese. Besides, who still offers glasses of wine for less than $6? B&T does. I'll be back.

Best pizza in Providence! Our friends recommended we stop in and the pepperoni pizza 100% lived up to our expectations!! Check it out!

Sandy D.

This was our third visit to Bob and Timmys. We like to go there when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy their outside patio. For some reason, the pizza was not as good this time. I took a chance and tried the Margarita after reading some of the reviews. I didnt realize they dont put sauce on it so I found it to be dry. Also, the crust was a bit thinner than usual and more like a pitabread consistency. It could have used some more proscutto as well instead of the dusting that was on it. My companion got the usual everything pizza and was not happy because all the toppings kept falling off as he was eating it. We probably wont be back again for a while. I can make a better grilled pizza at home for half the price.

Hi I travel all the time and use Yelp to direct me. Always spot on. I am certain Bob & Timmy's has excellent food but maybe the owners can't figure out why Sunday's are poor? I know why. Service staff unhappy and cranky. Did not even bother to get to a dinner order so I do not know how the food tastes. Walked out bad attitudes and service. Bummer!

Barry L.

Hello....well, I read 6 or more reviews, and seems it's all over the place. We always enjoy the things we have here, ya need to be hungry, because they load anything you get...almost to a fault, I.e. If you order pepperoni pizza, be sure you REALLY LIKE pepperoni!!! I ordered the clam chowder for first time today, and the lobster bisque, awesome!! The pizzas and the pasta dishes are really best here, very fresh. As far as other reviewers, remember, reviews shouldn't reflect your personal tastes, or personal preferences.....but on quality, preparation, cooked as ordered, presentation, service.....things of this nature. People like their food in various ways, but we can all agree on freshness, quality of ingredients, temp of food, etc I do recommend bob and timmys , the quality of food at a good price, despite their sometimes poor service....I think the front of house needs monitoring!

Jack C.

I wish my experience matched the reputation Yelp seems to connote. While I enjoyed the outdoor dining, the pizza was pretty bad. The "great white" seemed to boast one stiff layer of a single cheese, no variations in flavor or texture. I had clams on the other half, which were cold and firm. I feel like the pizza was sitting around for too long before coming to the table (truthfully, we did have to wait quite a while to be served). The mushroom trio lacked salt, and thus it was very bland. That was easily remedied, but a mushroom pizza should be seasoned appropriately (i.e., sufficient salt).

Gigi G.

I am from Chicago... and we have some awesome pizza!!! So I am a snob... But I was watching Man vs Food, and they had this restaurant showcased.... So I was intrigued and made sure we visited this place... First impression -- meh... We had 3 wait staff, tell us different info about wait time... the first one said... oh, we have a 40minute wait.. the next one said... about 10-15 minutes, and the third one said... give me a few minutes to arrange a table.... Thank God we waited :) The restaurant is really tiny.... We preferred the outdoor seating but it was packed. But we were just grateful that we got seated... We ordered 4 pizzas -- they are known for the Spinach mushroom pizza -- so we had to get that one.... we also ordered steak and cheese, sausage supreme and Margarita Pizza... o My favorite is -- Margarita Pizza, then Steak & Cheese, then tie for Spinach & Mushroom and Sausage Supreme... The Spinach & Mushroom had waaaay too much Feta cheese... But damn...$12-14 per pizza???? That is so cheap... I mean, this has serious fresh ingredients... and pizza is good for 2-3 people... I know... my BF and I are used to $27-$30 Chicago pizza, so this is crazy cheap to us... But yeah... pizza is awesome!!!! I want moooooore.... Beware coming here during peak hours... line outside is loooooong. We went here around 5pm last Sunday July 6th... and we were lucky to get a table in 10minutes... afterwards, the line outside was just nuts.... Will definitely visit this place again, next time we are back to Providence...

Want a real neighborhood restaurant? This is the place. Casual and blue collar-like but the food is not your average fare. Basically, it's a small pizza place nothing fancy at all. Seats maybe 30-40 inside but there are another 6-8 tables outside. There's a small bar tucked away by the kitchen. It probably seats 6 or so. It's pretty tight. I haven't eaten the pizza. I'm too enamored with the ziti and wild mushroom sauce to order anything else. But, I have stolen some of my girlfriend's pasta with pink vodka sauce and that was great too. Skip the gorgonzola version. It's better more simply made.

Wendy G.

OMG this is among the best pizza I've ever had... Thin crust with fresh ingredients. We tried the all veggie and the all meat ones. (two extremes, haha i know) Service was nice; the outdoor seating was fantastic. All in all, everything was perfect. I totally recommend this place if you visit Providence.

Bruce B.

At the recommendation of a local we went to Bob & Timmy's. This was our first visit to Providence and we had high expectations. When our pizza came out cut in squares I was afraid we had blundered. But, the pizza was good and eating outside was pleasant.. It was not the pizza of my youth eaten in NYC but it was better than most of what I've encountered in New England. We are still searching for "real pizza" and will continue the search on Federal Hill when we come back.
(3)
Emmy M.

I'll go ahead and say it: in a city with an already astounding number of places to get top notch pizza, Bob and Timmy's takes first place. The buttery, almost cracker-y crust, freshness of the toppings, and reasonable prices just can't be beat. We often order on the phone and go pick it up - our favorites include the sausage supreme and the four cheese with the vodka sauce, but all the other flavors are superb as well, especially their mushrooms. Eating in is fine too, although the interior ain't fancy. But it doesn't matter because the pizza is simply the best in Providence!

Jeannette V.

I love this place! Everything about it is amazing! Affordable and great... The pizza's are perfect and I love how you can perfect it to your own taste and put exactly what you want in it... The sangria is also delicious and I reccomend just getting the pitcher for 24 bucks you can get like 6-9 cups out of it!! No lie. I wish this place had more tables tho on fridays and saturdays it gets super packed and there is not many tables!
(5)
Lisa O.

Best pizza of my life, excluding pizza in Naples, Italy. The service is super friendly but not over baring. When the weather allows, there is outdoor seating. Despite being on Federal Hill, this place avoids the crowds so the outdoor seating is relaxing and even a bit romantic. Now, back to the pizza, AMAZING. Wood fired tastiness loaded piled high with super fresh ingredients. There is no place in Providence that compares.

Mitch K.

I always wanted to eat here, so after participating in an informational picket at a local hospital for my wife (I got to wave a flag around, yay!) we decided to try B&T's. All in all, a very nice meal. The fried green bean appetizer was a delicious surprise and the margherita pizza (with prosciutto) was excellent but I would have liked it to have prosciutto slices rather than small square pieces (mild quibble). I'd stay away from the white sangria though as the white version was basically a glass of rose-tasting white wine with an orange and a lime on the rim. Not very sangria-like. We were there at 7pm on a Tuesday and found plenty of free parking just down the hill at a metered spot (they turn off at 6pm). Try parking there first. I want to mention again that I got to wave a flag around, whee!

I am really upset that I have to write this review because I liked this place a lot, but it is necessary to alert the community. I recently ordered a #3 pizza here for pick up. As soon as we returned home and started eating, my husband bit down on several small rocks. We immediately called the restaurant to alert them. The lady on the phone said she could give us a credit and took down my name and number and assured me the manager would call me that evening to discuss the matter. She kept saying she could credit me and that maybe its charcoal from the oven. It was definitely not charcoal and I don't want a credit for $10. I want the restaurant to know that there were ROCKS in their pizza. So I kept telling the lady that I could bring the pizza back so she could see what was in the pizza. She just kept saying, "no, i believe you". My offer to return the pizza was not about me trying to prove there are rocks in the pizza, but, I mean, aren't you curious WHAT is in your pizza??? I have yet to receive a phone call from management. This restaurant doesn't seem to care to know what is IN their pizza or HOW it got there to remedy the situation for the future. So, be careful, there may be rocks in your pizza!

We grab pizzas and salads Bob & Timmy's for just about every work function and their pies are always on point! I'm a huge fan of the BBQ chicken, which comes with three different cheeses (Romano, smoked gouda, and Parmesan) and sautÃ©ed onions. The spinach and mushroom is also delicious. The specialty, wood-grilled pizzas are definitely where it's at - the crust is perfect, with a dusting of flour and just a hint of smokiness. I usually stay away from the traditional oven pizzas, as they have a little too much sauce for my liking. The pasta here is also delicious. Last time I was here I got the Hill Special (grilled chicken, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes in a smoked gouda cream sauce). At $15, I initially found the price to be a little steep for the casual ambience of the restaurant, but portion turned out to be massive and turned into two more meals. Although I don't usually eat in, I have to say that the staff are incredibly friendly. The bartenders will chat with you while you're waiting for an order, which always makes the wait time (usually anywhere from 15-20 minutes) pass a little more quickly. The only thing that could may you up about Bob & Timmy's is the street parking, which gets really sparse from Thursday until Sunday, although that goes for many places on Federal Hill.

Absolutely delicious thin-crust grilled pizza. It's really small inside. We went on a Sunday for lunch and snagged the last available table. It took a long time for someone to acknowledge us. Once we were seated, we weren't given menus. When the waitress came back with our drinks and asked if we were ready to order we had to point out we still hadn't gotten menus. Service was definitely a bit off. We started out with an arugula salad. It appeared to be a massive pile of arugula, topped with a lot of parmesan and with a few tomato wedges. Once we dug in we found out there was a lot of romaine under the arugula. We decided to order two pizzas so we would have leftovers. We went with the grilled chicken and the sausage supreme with ricotta added. All of the hype about these pizzas? All true. They were fantastic. I wish I lived closer, but it is probably better for my waistline that I don't.

Where have you been all my life? I just discovered the most perfect buffalo chicken pizza here. It's what dreams are made of. It has the perfect chicken, buffalo, blue cheese, sauce, crust ratio. It's perfectly grilled with fresh toppings. The pepperoni pizza is also very good. We were seated and served very quickly as well. Overall a great place for a pie!
(5)
Heather B.

I've gotten take out from here before bit went back because of the RI Food Fights pizza deal. We got a 14' BBQ chicken pizza and it was delicious. I think you have to like buffalo sauce because the BBQ was spicy and had some heat. Not a lot of cheese (Gouda) could have used some more. Overall good stuff and I'll go back!

Joe C.

"Awful Experience" This will be simple review. Went in to try the vaunted BBQ chicken grilled pizza. Got served a pizza with what felt like 10 pounds of raw onions on it. Too much sauce and all of the toppings fell off. Barely any chicken. Needless to say, went to grilled pizza place and ordered a grilled pizza. One of the house specials and it was awful. Go to Caserta's. Thanks

Robert S.

This is one of my favorite pizza places in Providence. They have excellent grilled pizza, on the thin side, the way I like it. They offer an ample menu of many specialty pizzas, many toppings, sauces, etc. I am partial to the ones that have less....like cheese, four cheeses, or just 2-3 toppings max.. I find the more toppings, the less epicurious is for my taste....LOL... Check out their Pizzas 1, 2 or 3. You know what I mean when you read the menu. In addition, they serve nice sandwiches, pasta, salads and dessert....but the place is definitely known for their PIZZAS !!! Try it out...It is a great place...They have a nice patio during the warm months...unfortunately, they don't take reservations...

This place had been on our "want to try" list for a while and we finally made it over there last week. It was a weeknight so parking was fairly easy. For a weeknight it was pretty busy in this little restaurant. We settled in with a pitcher of 'Gansett and ordered one of the special salads and pizza. The salad was an antipasto, it was your standard salad with meats and cheese on top, but bonus points for the crazy amount of banana peppers on the salad. The pizza was pink vodka sauce with olives, peppers, spinach, and a ridiculous amount of delicious feta!! They do not skimp on the toppings here! But the grilled pizza crust was not sturdy enough to handle all those toppings and the crust did not have the "grilled" taste that I had loved from other grilled pizzas I've had before. I think if we go back we will order a more simple pizza with less toppings.

This place has really good food everything always seems to be extremely fresh. Last night my wife and I went there for dinner. We had ghe nachos with fresh motzerala and fresh tomato I was good could use another flavor cheese also.she ordered a salad excellent homemade dressing. Than we split a grilled pizza also excellent

Philip S.

The phrase grilled pizza makes me cringe because I think of Californians and midwesterners who can't make a good pizza comparable to the northeast so they make wacky pizza. But the pizza here is no joke at all. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. And that crust is so good when it comes right out of the kitchen! It's so chewy, crispy, and crunchy I could probably snack on it all day. The pizza (14") is also probably large enough for 2 for those who have no idea how large a 14" grilled pizza is. So even though I live in NY, this is definitely one of the better pizzas I've had the pleasure to try in a long time. Keep up the good work!

Just left here on this Sunday night. Worst service I have seen in a long time. I understand they only had one waitress for the whole dining room but what a lousy attitude . Also they forgot to put the sauce on the pizza and said sorry here is a side of sauce . Really ? Great customer service I would lose all my customers if I treated them like this . They should of made another one . I refuse to come back here.

Marie P.

Probably one of the best pizza places I have ever been to! The crust was so incredibly unique I will crave it until it meets my mouth again. The flaky nature of the crust was almost like pastry dough meets grilled pita. The spinach, mushroom, and feta pizza was phenomenal. Friendly staff was great for recommendations. I will be back if I'm ever back in Providence again..I may have to go back just for the pizza though!

Darius H.

Having had great pizza here many times before, my wife was keen on having a grilled pizza at Bob & Timmy's. I never cared for the wait (sometimes people are spilling out onto the sidewalk) or the neighborhood (Elvis croons "In the Ghetto"), but we managed to sneak in before the rush -- and presumably before the usual pizza pie makers (or anyone who cares jack squat about providing a quality dining experience) were on duty. First off, the entire restaurant smelled like URINE -- you can smell the bathrooms, no matter where you sit. The waitress somehow managed to bungle a simple order for the three or four or six cheese pizza (whatever the combo cheese specialty is). Rather than send it back -- and wait another 20 minutes to eat -- we stuck it out with one of the sorriest excuses for a cheese pizza EVER. Oh, and did I mention the $10 plate of calamari? On previous visits it was an actual plate piled high with calamari. This time around, it was a plate of peppers with a sprinkling of limp, soggy calamari on top. What a rip off. And my daughter's kid's hamburger was obviously a Sam's Club patty halfheartedly warmed up in the pizza oven. Wretched. We -- and GQ -- must have enjoyed B&T's when it was rolling in dough (forgive the pun) and actually gave a squat about its customers. If you go, go for the urine smell.

The spinach and mushroom pizza is probably the best pizza I've ever had. Even if you aren't a big baby spinach and/or mushroom fan, this pizza will win you over. The other pizzas I've tried at Bob and Timmy's have been tasty, but none rise to the same level. The parking can be an absolute nightmare, and the restaurant itself is tiny. For the first go-round, I'd recommend either going when you aren't hungry and have time to wait, getting takeout, or going at a relatively slow time (e.g., for lunch). Definitely not to be missed!

After seeing them on the Man vs Food show we went in for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We ordered the Spinach and Mushroom pizza to eat there (the one featured on the show) and a BBQ chicken to take home for later. Obviously the Spinach one was real good because we ate it right there. The toppings were plentiful and fresh, this is not a typical pizza for this area as it it grilled but it really is good. The BBQ chicken was good to but would have been better if we had eaten it there instead of reheating it later that night. Service was just fine for us, and we will definitely be back.

Yum! Yum! Yum! I am a self-declared pizza snob. I grew up in CT with fabulous pizza options and lived in NYC for a few years where the pizza options are even better. A trip to Italy cemented my snobbery. Bob and Timmy's passed the test. The pizza here is different than most other pizza places because it's grilled. This is a good thing. The pizza is cooked for only a short time, so all of the toppings remain fresh and flavorful instead of becoming mushy globs. Every time I go, I'm amazed at how the spinach keeps its form and its flavor without overpowering the entire pie. I've tried a few of the varieties and liked some more than others. I don't like red sauce on pizza, so I can't speak to any of the options that include a tomato-base. I have tried the BBQ chicken which did not terribly impress me. My boyfriend, however, who could lie off of BBQ chicken pizza said it's one of the best he's had. The BBQ sauce is sweeter than at most other places, so it really won him over. I love my pizzas topped with a variety of cheeses and vegetables, so I've tried their famous Spinach & Mushroom as a well as a few of their specials. They use just the right amount of cheese to balance the veggies. Every flavor stands out. I highly recommend branching out of your comfort zone and trying your pizza with ricotta or goat cheese. You will then experience pizza heaven. The grilled pizza feels gourmet even though the restaurant is by no means high-end. It's light, yet satisfying and doesn't leave you feeling bogged down my grease. Service can be a bit shoddy. Twice I've gone and the server messed up our bill and it took 15 minutes to have it fixed. Also, they can be a tad inattentive, so your water glass may remain empty and unnoticed. Despite these flaws, all of the servers are very friendly. One other note is that sometimes the pizza can be a bit undercooked, but they're happy to grill it up for a few additional minutes if need be. All in all, I definitely recommend a trip to Bob & Timmy's for a new pizza experience.

Had pizza and pasta tonight. Takeout. Called in, 20 minutes later picked it up. Amazingly good food. Outside and inside eating. Great place

Excellent pizza, no skimping on the toppings. I ordered a sub too, which was also good, although needed a far more generous serving of oil and vinegar. Salads were also good, and big. I only tried one pasta, a gouda alfredo type with mushrooms. It was excellent. We visited with a large group, a reunion of sorts from 20 years back. Consequently we ordered a wide selection of pizza. I cannot remember them all, but they were all excellent. If you are a mushroom fan, you'll be amazed at the quantity of mushrooms served.

I've been going to Bob & Timmy's since before they moved to Spruce Street and were located in DePasquale Square. That's a whole lot of years. My last visit one week ago ends our relationship. We left the (very good) waitress her tip in cash, but someone took it upon themselves to add yet another tip to our bill AFTER I sighed the credit card receipt. That's stealing. That's it for me and now I have to watch that credit card like a hawk. I have no idea what someone will do with it now. The food and service has always been beyond excellent but if I can't trust them with my credit card anymore, it's over. They seem to be under new management. All the waitresses were new.

The best pizza ever! Order spinach and mushroom feta pizza!

Bob and Timmy's has great grilled pizza. I've tried the majority of the grilled pizza menu and would say the The Grilled Classic is the best. It's just so good! The salad with the house balsamic dressing is a perfect starter to go along with it. Outdoor seating in the summer is a nice experience. The service and management are great as well. Always attentive and friendly! It was really cool to see this place get some recognition in national publications because it's well deserved. Highly recommended!

The service was friendly and attentive, and I was able to be seated immediately in spite of Bob & Timmy's spinach, mushroom, and feta pizza being in this week's "GQ's Best 25 Pizzas in the US." So why the poor review? In my humble opinion, the flavors of the pizza were a major disappointment. Don't believe the hype. * - I will say that after having seen the Yelp photos, I wish I had tried the margherita pie.

The second best grilled pizza in town (al forno is better but double the price). This is our go to place when we are in the mood for pizza. Our favorite is the four cheese with pink vodka sauce and red onions. In terms of apps we like the wings and the grilled veggie salad. They also have decent outdoor seats in summer

So I saw this place on the food network and knew I was going to be visiting so I jotted some notes down and decided I would have dinner here during my business trip. The service was good. The pizza was delicious. I ordered the spinach and mushroom pizza and ate a good 1/3 of it by myself!! However before I got my bill and had a chance to call the hotel shuttle, I was in the restroom, SICK! I think it must have been the spinach. This ruined my night until at least midnight and considering I was still on west coast time and had to get up at 530 am which was 230 am my time, I was not happy. So i decided to NOT visit the other locations I had written down from the food network. Bummed from CA. :(

I love this place !!! Tucked away in a corner of Federal Hill ( a little easier to find parking here) Seating outside in nice weather. Pizza is excellent and very reasonably priced around $13/$14 for a large gourmet pizza with fresh ingredients. caesar salad is huge with house made dressing. I love the balsamic dressing too. Clam Chowder is awesome. I haven't tried the pasta dishes but they look great. I love the atmosphere here, staff is alway very welcoming, service is good. I have turned a few friends onto Bob & Timmy's and they are hooked. They all say the same thing "I never even knew this was here"

A local took me to Bob and Timmy's during the Summer of 2008. It quickly became my go to place for a quick bite to eat in Providence. I have to say it's the best pizza in Providence and might just be the best pizza in New England. They have traditional and thin crust pizza. Get the thin crust its what they are known for and its superb. They have a garlic bread appetizer that is not on the menu, its pretty much the dough of a thin crust pizza seasoned with butter, garlic, and some cheese. Yum. Their calzones are great as well and very large for around $7 you can't go wrong. When I first started going to Bob and Timmy's the wings were amazing in fact as silly as it sounds the wings along brought in my patronage. However the wings have recently gotten worse, now they are just average. I can eat a lot and I have never been able to eat a whole calzone and split an order of wings. So you will not have to worry about leaving hungry. Lastly, their beer specials are great too. They feature a beer and if you buy two pints of it then you get to take home a pint class with the beers logo on it. I have managed to get four Samual Adams curved pint glasses by taking advantage of this special.

My second favorite grilled pizza place. When it comes to value and a casual dinning atmosphere though this is tops on my list of local grilled pizza. The Lasagna specialty pizza is superb.

excellent pizza! we got the buffalo chicken pizza, amazing. the bread was soft and great, thin crust. we actually were planning on going elsewhere, but couldn't get parking. looks like the place gets busy, we were there around 5:40pm so we didn't have to wait, but a line was building up once we started to eat.

Denine M.

Services was great, chicken fingers and fries were good but that's about it... The Calamari with marinara sauce was cooked alright but was absolutely tasteless. We ordered a half grilled, half barbecued chicken pizza. The pizza was cold and tasteless. There was a very thin, overly sweet sauce that I believe was their version of barbecue sauce. The sauce was just squirted on all over the pizza in globs. It was horrible, worst pizza we've ever had....

I've officially tried every pizza place in providence. this place is the best. aside from tomato city, i mean. My favorite pizza is the lasange pizza, with sauteed mushrooms added. Fresh spinach, warm creamy ricotta cheese, deliciously juicy pizza sauce and the perfect amount of mozerella cheese.... man...that is good pizza. I really wish it had a firmer crust....that is the only downside. But wow, is it delicious! None of these pizza's cost more than 14 bucks, even the everything. They do have regular oven baked pizza, which has a firmer crust...but its not the same as the grilled thin crust. Parking is a pain-in-the-bum, but like I said before-take it to go. You really don't want to eat inside this place...it is pretty small. It is more of a bar than a restaurant, but the pizza is incredible. after tasting all of the pizza in town-literally- I have to give this place 5 stars because it really is as good as it gets. Al forno has pretty much the same pizza except it is finished with a handful of herbs for an extra 15 bucks.

Went here after watching Man vs Food and it was amazing. The clam pizza was so good. The grilled pizza is perfect. It is a light pizza without sauce and has a nice light feel while you are eating it. Jose knows how to make pizzas.

Late Wednesday night my hubby & I craved pizza. Looked on my phone & found this place real close to where we were at. When we pulled up, it was very busy, but we walked in & got a seat no problem. Looked around, saw a lot of good looking pizzas, so we checked menu (with 20 specialty pizzas, hard to choose) & ordered the Spinach & Mushroom. "Freshly sauteed mushrooms, Spinach, Garlic, Parmesan & Feta" It came out within minutes, PILED with huge amounts of toppings! (It was cold, had to send it back for a few more minutes) This pizza was undoubtedly the BEST pizza I've had in a VERY long time! Our waitress was great, very friendly & knowledgeable! The ONLY downside: Wanted to try a specialty beer they had signs all over advertising, and even though they had the keg in the cooler, it wasn't hooked up! The bottled beer, a little pricey...but a fantastic experience anyway! Not only do they have pizza, but also appetizers, calzones, pasta, salads & sandwiches! If you're looking for a good deal in the Atwells Avenue area, this is your place!

Bob & Timmy's has the best pizza I've ever tasted. From the fresh, delicious toppings to the thin gourmet crust -- grilled to perfection -- their pizza is incredible. Since my first visit over 10 years ago, I have been recommending this place every time someone even mentions Providence. Try the BBQ chicken pizza, or request the pink vodka sauce on any other pizza.

REALLY REALLY GOOD PIZZA and I just got the basic cheaper pizza haven't tried the better more "gourmet" types. Will definitely go back another time when i'm in providence.

Rhode Island has a ton of great Italian eateries, of varying expense and appearance. You can pay a ton for a fantastic Italian meal or you can get a quick slice for a couple of bucks. Then there's the middle-ground. Timmy & Bobby's is a place that is smack-dab in the middle: really reasonable food, great tasting, and a decently simple dÃ©cor. Family-owned and operated, Timmy & Bobby's is a fairly plain, unassuming family restaurant that is Italian from top to bottom. It is a fool that comes here and never tries the pizzas. They come out as tasty and as authentic as you'd want a pizza to arrive. Fresh ingredients and even fresher dough come together to make a great pie, and they do it. Others at my table, who at least were smart enough to have tried the pizza before, had the equally tasty baked dishes (lasagne if I recall correctly). Oh, and I forgot to mention that this place is wicked cheap. Four of us had Caesar salad, pizza, beers, and tax and tip all in...$10.00 per. I'm looking forward to the next Rhode Island trip.

What's up with all these massholes saying Atwells is ghetto? You don't know what ghetto is, scared little white kids. Stay off the hill! This is the best pizza in Rhode Island, comparable to the famous Frank Pepe's over in New Haven. The best, seriously.

Excellent option for pizza on The Hill. Situated on Spruce Street behind Sicilia's Pizzeria on Federal Hill, this place is out of the way, but definitely a must-try. I don't know what took me so long to finally try it, but it's amazing pizza. Thin crispy crust GRILLED to perfection, fresh flavorful toppings, great service and very reasonable prices. Absolutely a must-try if you like grilled pizza. If you've never tried grilled pizza, RUN don't WALK to Bob & Timmy's and get a pie NOW.

I decided to check out this place again after the good reviews it has gotten in the press over the years. The pizza was still only just ok - but man, the service was horrible. It took 10 minutes to get us seated (and there were tables available and 3 waitresses who walked by us multiple times). It took another 10 minutes to just get a Diet Coke. The pizza came fast, once we were able to even order it. Not once did the waitress check on us. Really poor service - it was a Monday night, not even a weekend busy night.

Hidden in deep in the ghetto... (just behind Atwells Ave) lies Bob and Timmy's.... No, seriously, folks, this street is Ghetto! The place itself is quaint and divey at the same time. There's a little fenced in patio for outdoor eating and then a dive-esque indoor space. The service was stellar. Our server was charming and witty and prompt. We started with Nachos after rave reviews from our server (even though I was leaning towards... er.... meh...) and I must say... what a vast disappointment. The chips were from a bag, and they weren't even from the quality bag (they were the round kind... you know them). I don't understand where a place that serves nachos doesn't make their own chips... if you have a deep fryer, fresh chips are SOOOOOO easy to make. The salsa was really a pico de gallo (which she had said it would be) and it was fresh and somewhat tasty but there was not nearly enough of it. The mozzarella cheese didn't sit right on Nachos (and they had all these other delicious Italian cheese available, why not medley them all on the nachos) and then there was a lump of sour cream. It was visually boring and my taste buds agreed with my eyes (plus the chips came out a bit burnt). In essence, don't order the nachos. The pizza was another thing all-together. We ordered grilled chicken (and I don't even really dig chicken on pizza) with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, Gorgonzola and mozz cheese and some other stuff I can't remember. The crust was thin and crisp. The dough needed something, I don't know what, but something. Still, it was pretty good. The sauce was very tasty and I swear the pizza tasted better after each bite. Oh, and the price is definitely right. Pizza and app with leftovers = about $20 plus tip.

FRESH TASTE Been going to Bob & Timmy's since I was 18. I have to say their thin-crust pizzas are noteworthy. If you truly want to experience very fresh, thin crust pizza, this could be your best bet. They're a-ok in my book. I have to be in the mood for thin-crust pizza, but if I am, they are the first place to go for this specialty.

Elizabeth P.

We made a special trip after seeing Man vs. Food, what a huge disappointment! We ordered the white clam pizza, there were no grill marks on the crust ,it was soggy, and overloaded with mozzarella. We sent it back in hopes it would return crispy, but to no avail, it was the same. We left with a box of an unfinished box of a small pizza which we proceeded to throw away. Moral of the story? When a restaurant is being filmed, of course it's going to look perfect! Wont be going back any time soon!

I will give the disclaimer that the pizza was take out, followed by a 15 minute drive and another 10 minutes before I actually ate it. With that being said, the crust completely lost all crunchiness, but I blame myself. Had a margherita pizza... I will try this again any day of the week, but eat in only. I want this pizza fresh off the grill before I give my honest review of it. The waitress who took my order, along with the remaining staff... EXTREMELY nice and accomodating. I hade a couple adjustments to the pizza made because someone didn't like the parmigianno/romano (blasphemy) but the waitress was more than happy to customize the pizza. The only complaint about the pizza was there was barely any basil on it... clearly i asked for a side of basil and they were more than happy to send me home with a container full of freshly chopped basil :) EDIT: Forgot to mention a couple things about the other components on the pizza. The cheese used is out of this world, along with extremely fresh tomatoes. I will say, i was very disappointed with the "prosciutto." Come on guys, I know its more expensive but when you serve "proscuitto" on federal hill, no less, i was expecting thinly shaved Prosciutto di Parma. Instead, thick squares of domestic prosciutto, which is wayyyyy too salty. I'll be back... this time I will definitely try a normal cheese and pepperoni, and also this famous spinach and mushroom pizza that Adam raves about.

I love the pizza here. JUST the pizza. I got a sandwich a few days ago that was the worst sandwich I've ever eaten in my life. The 4 stars are for the pizza alone which is unbeatable. Seriously, order JUST the pizza. Over the years I've tried almost everything on the menu. Salads, pasta, and calzones, wavering on ok- between 2 and 3 stars. The calamari, 1, the sandwiches..amazingly bad.

I've tried a lot of grilled pizzas in Providence, and Bob & Timmy's (in my opinion) is the best. The decor isn't exactly eye catching, and you might have a hard time finding it (it's hidden in that back alley-thing next to the highway like Pastiche) but the pizza is awesome. I honestly have nothing bad to say, I've tried a few of their pizzas and they were all amazing, so yeah, check them out! Oh and they have a bar!

aaron t.

By far my favorite pizza place in new england if you like the yummy, warming, tasty thin, but still filling type of pizza. GREAT, cozy laid back environment. Kind people, service. Very relaxing. A bar is right there. Nothing fancy, just plain homey, chill, and relaxing with the best pizza in my mind. Try their calamari......some of the best I have ever had.!!! favorite pizza is their Spinach+mushroom!
(5)
Henry D.

My wife and I were told this was great pizza, and it is. I don't normally go for thin crust pizza, but the toppings more than make up for the lack of crust. We dined with a professional colleague of my wife's, and ordered two pizzas between us. Since we couldn't decide on one or two toppings, we ordered two half-and-half pizzas, which they are happy to do. We took home an amount equal to a half.

Michael Y.

Started with the fried calamari w/banana peppers. Calamari was pretty good and the banana peppers were a nice compliment. Too bad the calamari was practically bathing in them and we were left with a heaping pile of peppers. As for the pizza, who knew grilled pizza would be so good? Had the 'famous' Spinach and Mushroom (Freshly Sauteed Mushrooms, Spinach, Garlic, Olive Oil with Parmesan, Romano and Feta Cheese) and a Grilled classic (Wild Mushrooms, Grilled Yellow Onions, Pepperoni, Parmesan and Romano Cheese with Marinara Sauce). The crust was thin as paper and super crisp, the toppings were fresh and plentiful. Would I call the Spinach and Mushroom the 5th best pie in America? Definitely not. But that doesn't mean B&T's isn't worth a repeat visit.

Maddy S.

Far and away the biggest thing I miss about Providence now that I've graduated. It's a total hole in the wall, but it's the most fantastic hole in the wall EVER. Be prepared to wait since it's tiny, but I promise you, it'll be so worth it. The bruschetta is fresh and fantabulous, and pretty much anything with the vodka sauce is drool-inspiring. Is it weird to say you dreamed about a sauce? Because yeah, I've definitely dreamed about their four cheese pizza and their penne a la vodka. Next time I swing in to town, this will probably be the only place I eat, period. I need to get my fill before I leave, because it'll probably be a while before I return. Needless to say, whenever folks from work head to RISD for campus recruiting, it's the first and often only place I recommend for dinner - that's how serious I am about my love for this place... for real.

I've been hearing about how great this place was ever since I moved to the land of no directionals, shady politics, and misguided hipster moped gangsters ....... All of which can be both amusing and aggravating depending on the day, mood, and/or traffic situation. (Im not sure if this is a food review or a rant). Well I finally hit Robert and Timothy's Grilled Pizza and its as good as advertised by every Maria, Tony, and Angelo who knows anything about where the best pies in the city are. Super, super thin crust with heaping toppings of fresh vegetables, high end imported meats (prusciutto all day long for me), and mushrooms that look like they've been shot up with more HGH than Lance Armstrong. All of which are floating 'on golden ponds' of olive oil and globs of tangy marinara sauce. Location is off the beaten path and parking is on the shallow side but that serves my selfish desire to keep this hidden gem all to myself. BTW- waitstaff was awesome and put up with my wise Irish ass. I'm giving this Bad Larry 5 stars and 7 miles.....which is about what I'll need to run after every trip back here.

I can't think of a single place in the entire world that is so obviously a 5-star rating for me, and I've been all over and experienced countless delicious meals. I place Bob and Timmy's on as high a pedestal as the best of the best pizza I've ever had (and I am both a pizza connoisseur and pizza snob), right next to the pizza I had once in Campania (pizza's birthplace), a glorious margherita autentica on the island of Ischia at probably the best restaurant overall I've ever been to. That's not to say these two pizzas have anything in common, just that purely from the standpoint of taste and culinary joy, Bob and Timmy's packs as much in their grilled pizzas as is possible in any pizza. It shocks me when people come here and do not order the grilled pizza. Seriously, skip the appetizers, skip the pasta, wings, and everything else on the menu. Even skip drinks if it will help your appetite. Just start with the pizza 1, a scrumptious marriage of dried mozzarella, asiago, parmesan, gorgonzola, marinara sauce, and fresh herbs. The crust is absolutely divine, crispy yet chewy with just the slightest hint of char. The cheese is usually only barely melted, which means it is tangy and smooth and not greasy at all. The marinara is a smooth, lightly-spiced, cheese-dusted, tangy relish that brings everything together and balances all the flavors perfectly. Other pizzas that I highly recommend are the four cheese w pink vodka sauce and red onions, the trio of wild mushroom, and the spinach and mushroom. All of these offerings are, put simply, to die for. I live in Chicago and do not go a single day without wishing there were a Bob and Timmy's in my neighborhood. Whenever I visit Rhode Island, I make this place both my first meal and my last meal in the area. I have easily been here dozens of times, perhaps even a hundred times, and it has never, ever disappointed. Start starving yourself well before arriving, and then just enter gastronomic heaven. I think a pizza 1 here is around $9.50, and in many ways this as just as much a culinary masterpiece as many $150 prix fixe marathons. If you visit providence, enjoy pizza to even the slightest degree, and do not come here, then I can't say I imagine anybody crying at your funeral.

I've been to Bob & Timmy's twice and loved it both times. Tried the grilled pizza the first time and the crust was very light and flavorful. The cocktails are great too! Second time I tried a sandwich and it was huge, way too much for me to finish so there was enough to take home for a snack later. Great ambiance with the tin ceiling and wall tiles.

Donny T.

I agree with a lot of the other reviewers about the mediocre service. It seemed like a bit of an inconvenience to the hostess to seat our small party at the outside patio. Poor service aside - the pizza was really good. We made a custom pizza with pepperoni, bacon and green peppers. The ingredients all appeared fresh. I really enjoyed the sauce - just the right amount of tang.

For those of you who read my "Worst Pizza Ever" review of Federal Hill Pizza in Warren, this is the antithesis! I don't know how they do it but every pizza at Bob & Timmy's is perfection. Our favorites are the lasagna pizza and the eggplant pizza. You will not be disappointed.

Have you ever had a grilled pizza? Nestled in Providence, Rhode Island is the famous grilled pizza place, Bob & Timmy's. Grilling a pizza is definitely a unique way of preparing it. They start by soaking the dough in olive oil and then begin grilling it before adding any toppings. Your tastes buds can immediately tell that it was grilled by the smoky flavor of the crust - which is no thicker than pita bread. Their grilled pizza has made Bob & Timmy's popular enough to support two restaurants in the Rhode Island, and I dined at the Federal Hill location. I enjoyed being able to eat on the outside patio there, and I believe the one in North Smithfield has a similar option. My pizza was their Great White, but I think I would have been better served to order one with traditional red sauce. I did, however, enjoy the nice gooey cheese on it. Overall, I liked Bob & Timmy's, but I don't think I am as big of a fan of the charcoal-grilled crust as some others may be.

Amanda F.

Decided to try something new and stumbled upon this place right on the back edge of Federal hill which is great!!!! Away from the busy area! Super small place but the pizza I had just a simple pepperoni nd bacon grilled with me and my fanicee it was soooo goood first time trying a grilled pizza and I loved it definitely recommend this place if your looking for good pizza place with nice prices. :)

Damn good grilled pizzas. Stopped here heading home from the Cape and was not disappointed. Staff were great and pizza, which has been featured on TV, was spot on. Highly recommend. Was nice to sit outside on a cool Summer's night too.

Yana R.

I went here a few times, and at first I liked it, but my enthusiasm quickly waned by the third or fourth visit. The dough is frequently not browned enough, looking kind of pale. Because the dough cooks very quickly on the grill, the toppings often didn't seem as cooked through as I would like. There are better pizza places out there.

wow, yelpers totally let me down on this one this is probably the WORST pizza and calzone i have ever consumed in my life. i got their famous 'wood grilled' pizza. the toppings were falling off the pie. as in all the toppings. there was a giant mound of toppings in the box. obviously not enough cheese. also, the pizza was soggy. yucky. i hate soggy pizza! it was so gross i pretty much threw it in the trash. i had high hopes for the calzone, that also was soggy and the inner contents were literally coming through the crust. how this place has managed to stay open for so long in federal hill is completely mind boggling to me.. go to casertas, fellinis, twins , tommys, all are MUCH better pies IMHO

Justin K.

So while in Providence visiting a buddy, he said we have to check out Bob and Timmy's. I myself have just begun grilling pizzas in my back yard so when I saw this place had grilled pizzas I was excited. We went for lunch on a Sunday and sat outside on a gorgeous day. They had some good local brews by Harpoon so I stuck with the UFO. When in Rome??? The pizza menu itself is tough to get through because everything looks so damn good! We finally decided to go with Half Great White w/ clams (menu says optional for the clams, but if you don't do it, you are a fool!) and half 4 cheese with vodka sauce. By the way the service here is fantastic. Never did my beer go empty without an offer of a new beer! The pizza did not take very long to come out and when it arrived the smell of goodness punches you in the face. I started with the clam pizza...I am glad I did. This pizza did not lack flavor OR clams for that matter. It was delicious. Then I moved to the four cheese and vodka sauce. This pizza was next level ish. As I went tearing through this pizza, I forgot my name it was so good. It was a religious experience! I heard the voice of angels singing!! Oh, wait a minute, we were sitting next to a church that had a service going on, that was ironic and perfectly timed as well. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, that vodka sauce on the pizza was brilliant. Overall this was definitely the best pizza I have ever had. The crust was thin and delicious and all the toppings worked well together. My buddy and I definitely ate the whole thing; there were no leftovers on this trip. But then something happened, we were asked if we wanted to try the desert pizza. Desert pizza? We summoned from the depths of our stomach, room for desert. We willed this to happen. We replied,"Well, sure. Why not?" We went with the mango desert pizza, the small. One piece of advice, the small isn't very small. The amount of fruit on this pizza is ridiculous. Fresh kiwi, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and mango with a cream cheese sauce underneath. It was delicious. We pushed through and devoured the small pie. I was now food drunk. Overall this place is fantastic. I highly recommend coming to this place and eating here. Ignore the ghetto talk, go to Baltimore or Philly if you want to see a real ghetto, this place has charm. You will not be disappointed.

I can eat a whole pizza here all by myself. I'm serious. It's perfect. Fair warning, though, if you're looking for ooey-gooey, piping hot and bubbly cheese you will not find it here. This pizza is thin, crispy yet chewy, and saucy with obvious attention to topping proportions. In other words, it's well covered in toppings but won't fall apart at your first bite. You can taste everything, and everything tastes good. I highly recommend the Lasagna pizza. Try the Mesclun Green salad if you want a taste of the best balsamic vinaigrette of your life. Add the goat cheese, too. It's worth the extra couple bucks. Ambiance is a little off. Service is inconsistent, and the dining area is usually messy (crumbs on the floor, dingy windows). It's also a bit cramped. But, truth be told, I rather like that about this place. There's something about the humble surroundings and casual attention to customers that makes me feel comforted.

Nice place but a very run of the mill pizza spot with a bar. My friend and i came in for a bite before a show we were going to in the area. Our appetizers were fried calamari and a Caesar salad. The fried calamari was good and served with marinara sauce and banana peppers. The Caesar salad had to be sent back; the lettuce was browning, the sauce tasted rancid, and the croutons had zero flavor. The restaurant did take back the salad and did not charge us for it. I found this to be respectable at a minimum, but would have preferred to just be served a good salad. For our main courses we had a plain calzone and ravioli's. Both main dishes were fine but nothing extraordinary. I guess i should have ordered one of their pizzas that got great reviews ... Otherwise we ended up with average to sub par pizzeria food. Maybe their pizza is amazing but I cannot speak to that at all.. I do not recommend this place from my experience. They do have a small seating area and the kitchen sounds like a bodega.

My girlfriend and I went to Bob & Timmy's Grilled Pizzas to experience the famous grilled Rhode Island pizza. We ordered a margherita pizza with prosciutto which was very delicious. The service was good but a bit slow for the crowd that was there at the time. We were able to sit outside for our meal but the flower pot on the fence next to the table kept dropping leaves onto the table and eventually the pizza. We enjoyed the pizza so much we brought the rest home on our 4.5 hour drive journey back to the Philadelphia, PA suburbs. The area around this pizza shop was not the nicest, but the pizza was definitely worth the journey from the hotel and I would recommend this to anybody looking for pizza in Providence, RI.

Food was really yummy! Children's portions are a great value for the money. Will definitely come again.

Disclosure: I ordered a pizza to take-out. So I can't fully comment on the entire dining experience. The pizza was delicious! I got a thin crust pizza that was half veggie...half everything. The half everything was awesome! The crust is flavorful and the perfect amount of doughiness (or maybe a better word is chewiness?). And they don't skimp on the toppings. It really had the perfect amount of topping to dough ratio. And the pizza is cheap compared to other pizza joints. It is a must try I took off a star because the crust could have been crispier...all the toppings made the pizza a little soggy. But maybe it would have been different if I ate in the restaurant.

Really rates as top 2 of my favorite pizza's of ALL TIME. Yes, the service took forever and EVER (waited over an hour after ordering before our pizza got to our table). Yes the wait was over 30 minutes on a Sunday evening at 7pm for a party of 7. But apart from that, everything was AMAZING. Our table shared 3 large pizza's and 1 order of calamari. The total came out to be about $10 each, and we were all stuffed. My ultimate favorite was probably a pie they don't have on the menu, since I'm pretty sure someone in the kitchen messed up our order. THe pie was supposed to be half wild mushroom, and half grilled classic. Instead, they made most of the pie with a layer of pepperoni, piled HIGH with 3 types of sauteed wild mushrooms. A mish-mash of the 2 pies we ordered (which was intended to be half - and-half). Let me tell you. IT. WAS. AMAZING. The crust itself was not cracker thin, nor did it come close to pan crust thick. It had the perfect amount of crunch without being burnt and it held up REAL well to the piles of toppings heaped upon it. My pizza pet peeves include: - not enough sauce - uneven topping distribution - toppings only pilled in the center with bland, toppingless edges Rest assured, this was NOT the case at Bob and Timmy's. You will get a generous serving of topping in any slice you choose. There was also enough sauce so the crust is nice and moistened. Calamari was lightly battered and friend to crisp chewy perfection. Served with a side of marinara. YUM!! I will DEFINITELY be back. SOON!

Love this place, I always order the grilled chicken with pink vodka adding spinach and ricotta. This place is always friendly and clean, and the service is quick and friendly. Can't wait till I go there again.

It was ok. I ordered two very different types of pizza. They both had way too much cheese for my liking but were great- maybe even better the next day after having the cheese broiled in a toaster oven. Getting inside to pick up my pizza was tough. There was a thick line of people hanging out in the doorway waiting to be seated so I had to wait for a while before I could push through it.

I love this place. All of their pizzas are so fresh and delicious. I love anything with spinach on it and they give a nice portion. It's a small spot and I wish they were BYOB so be sure you have time to wait. It's also good left over pizza. :)

Count me among the group of people to which Bob & Timmy's was hyped just a bit too much. We stopped to pickup a spinach and mushroom pie and some fries last night and took it home to eat. WE devoured it, and i enjoyed the experience, but i would not put it near the top 5 of lifetime pizza experiences. It was a good, solid pizza, but nothing earth shattering. Felt like it could have done with a tad less olive oil (some pieces were a bit soggy). Two caveats to this - it wasn't piping hot by the time we consumed it (15 minute drive back - poor planning), and we went with what i would consider a 'non-traditional' pizza - meaning there was no sauce - those flavor profiles are always a bit different. I think i owe it to myself to try a margherita or something of that nature before truly labeling this place as 'average'.

There's a reason that national magazines rates this restaurant as one of the best- it's because it is. There are many restaurants to choose from on Federal Hill, but this is an especial favorite. Firstly, the food is incredibly good. My favorite is a wheat wrap with grilled chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, and pizza sauce. Secondly, it is reasonably priced. You don't go away from the table hungry until the next day. The menu has many tempting items. Owners? If you are reading this, BRING BACK the shaved steak nachos. Those were incredible.

John D.

I've been there multiple times and the pizza is always good. Enjoy the bbq chicken, but the buf chicken, sausage and eggplant are all good options. I haven't had it (because I do not like mushrooms) but people I have went with enjoyed the spinach and mushrooms, as well.

Xiao Z.

Wonderful hole-in-the wall kinda place. No wonder why RI's grilled pizza got 2nd in the country! The place can likely hold about 20 people, but the food is absolutely phenomenal and really reasonably priced. It's hard to recommend a particular kind of pizza, but we had the wild mushroom, grilled classic, and pizza special #1 (veggie + goat cheese) and the everything pizza. My favorite was definitely the special #1, but I had a bite of all the other pizzas and they were delicious. There was so much topping piled on the pizza that everything just fell from the plates as soon as you tried to rip apart the pizzas. It was awesome! My only concern is that the pizzas take a long time to make and the pepperoni was a little too salty. And to be honest, I couldn't taste the grilled crust, but hey, it was good! Food: 5 stars Service: 3 stars Price: 5 stars

hey, food is great, but if u say ur open til 10 and i i call at 9:45 to order a pizza, and u tell me "the kitchen is closed," that's bullshit!!!!...u say ur open til a certain time, that actually means i should be able to call anytime up until the closing time......if u want to close at 9:45... just make that ur closing time!!!!!

Finally got around to trying B&T's the other day and was very satisfied. They have a lot of options on the menu including build your own pizzas and calzones. I was in the mood for good ol' pepperoni and cheese so I ordered a grilled one. Very tasty, the sauce and crust are perfect and the cheese is so ooey gooey delicious. The inside looks like a take out place with limited seating but we had no trouble getting a seat on a Thursday night. Good price for a pie, I will be adding this to my list of go-to pizza spots.

VERY good pizza, simple choices, and friendly service. The basics here are in place and it shows. The crust is thin and crispy, the sauce is flavorful, and the cheese complements but doesn't overwhelm the toppings. Fresh toppings (excellent sausage) and great service made a great family dinner experience.

Best pizza ever!! Just dont get it go. Having the pizza sit in a box makes the dough soggy and kills the pizza.

Have to say this place is outstanding. Their wood grilled pizza is delectable. Their pasta creations are unique and their salads are huge and plentiful. When I go I usually split a pizza and pasta with my friend and it is super filling. Their Pizza 1,2 or 3 are all great also 4 cheese!! and their pasta Spruce Street Special and The Hill Special Pasta are a go to!!!

Came here for the first time last night. Tried the four cheese, pizza 2 and grille classic. All delicious. Love the thin crust and the perfect blend of toppings so nothing was over powering. It's not my favorite pizza of all time but as far as Rhode Island goes I think it's my new fave!!

Providence's pizza capital = Bob & Timmy's. The best grilled pizza I've ever had. And, incredibly fast & friendly service to boot. I drive from East Greenwich for their pizza. And, just wouldn't have my grilled pizza any other way.

Danielle L.

My family and I ate here for dinner after a long day of exploring Providence. We ordered the Spruce Street pasta and a grilled pizza with half margherita and half spinach & mushroom. Both dishes were spectacular--packed with bold flavors and very satisfying. The portions were excellent too. We didn't have a mini fridge at our hotel, so we couldn't take home any leftovers. But the pasta and pizza was just enough for all four of us (my parents and two college daughters). I would definitely recommend the half and half pizza because it gives you a taste of two amazing pizzas. The magherita even has proscuitto--yum! The grilled pizzas are unique, and I think they taste better than traditional pizzas since the crust is thin and crunchy which allows for more focus to go towards the toppings.
(5)
Lauren Y.

Amazing pizza in a neat neighborhood. We had a huge arugula salad with goat cheese (delicious). Glad we got the dressing on the side - balsamic vinaigrette was not great. We had the everything pizza and it was fresh, chewy and crusty at the same time, and heavy on the toppings. More than enough for two of us (we had 1/3 of the pizza left over). Incredible, highly recommend! Great service too.

Caroline M.

Nothing new to add to the mix, but yet another voice to add to the I LOVE BOB AND TIMMY'S chorus. Outdoor seating. Off the main Atwells drag. Excellent food in a casual atmosphere. Stunningly creative pizza toppings. Perfect to share - round pizzas cut into 3x2 squares vs. huge pie slices. Affordable. Generous portions of toppings atop a light but sturdy crust. I eat their pizza, takeout, about twice monthly for an ongoing meeting. The group cycled through several places on The Hill before testing Bob & Timmy's. Love at first taste! And perfect to sample several small pieces of different varieties. I dream about the Margarita and Mushroom and Spinach on the weeks I don't eat it! I didn't have any complaints about service the 1 time I dined in. A Providence gem. One of the only reasons to get me excited about Federal Hill.

Rafael B.

I was walking on Federal Hill and remembered about this place while on my walk. I did not order a pizza because I was by myself felt like that would have been too much. I ordered a wood grilled chicken sandwich. I was the only one here so didn't get to fully experience the business that is associated with the place. It is definitely near Federal Hill but sitting outside felt so relaxing. They did do a good job of being secluded outside. I can hear music which is nice too to help you relax. I Did like my waitress she was nice and had a good sense of humor. The chicken was one of the best I have had.! The vegetables felt very fresh and cut well. I did like the ambience outside too. Next time I come I plan to try a wood grilled pizza. Their pizza menu is pretty big must say.

Sarah V. M.

LIke nothing I've ever had, but something I want to do over and over again. Crust is somewhere between naan bread and a tradition thin crust. Cheese is sooo good and tucked under toppings. I ordered The Grille Classic: wild mushrooms, grilled yellow onions, pepperoni, parmesan and romano cheese - but substituted spinach for the mushrooms and found it pretty much bliss. Have had it for 3 out of my last 4 meals. Didn't like how there was no one in the front of the house when I arrived for pick up. I could see them all playing in the kitchen while I waited for 5-10, and my pizza was given to me tepid. I would have preferred hot, but I can over look this in hopes of a turn around on my next visit.

Rhode Islanders are bad, bad people. I have been here almost three years and I am just now finding out about this place?!?!? What and the heck is wrong with you people? I got sent to Casertas for god sake, have you eaten there? That is a sure fire way to make a foreigner think you have absolutely no taste. Okay, enough of that. On to the Bob & Timmy's. Wow, what a gem. I have to say that grilled pizza is Aaaaaaaamazing. Until now I only knew Chicago, New Haven and New York had there own little twist. Little Rhody never cease to amaze. The only way I have been able to describe the crust is comparing it to a Naan Bread, only bigger and better. Just a touch of crisp on the bottom, soft and chewy in the middle ant top. The ingredients are top of the line fresh. The sauce was not gobbed all over, just enough to add the flavor. I can not wait to get back and try the next one on the menu. So....after reflecting, I guess I can see why it has remained a secret. No need to tourist it all up and ruin it. So I will forgive you all, this time, sort of. Man, what does a person have to do to prove himself around here.

Nancy B.

I am another who really doesn't get the hype....I was excited for good pizza, and ordered the sausage. The sauce was too sweet, the crust kind of soggy and doughy, and the sausage tasted frozen....like what you would get in a frozen dinner :( I was really disappointed :(
(1)
Jaclyn P.

Bob & Timmy's was pleasantly surprising. We had the GQ famed Spinach and Mushroom pizza. The crust was perfectly grilled and chewy, the spinach was fresh and there was SO MUCH feta! Paired with a Peroni beer, I was as happy as a pig in sh*t! It's a tiny little place with a tiny little bar and the wait can get long, but it's so worth it. They have an outdoor patio for dining al fresco in the summer. The decor is nothing to write home about and there may have been a few police officers speaking with one of the waitresses about an altercation BUT the pizza is so good you'll forget all that as soon as you take your first bite. Maybe not the best place for a romantic date, but definitely a neat little place to take the in-laws when they are in town and wanting to see how their offspring enjoy life. A major plus is that it's off the beaten (psycho)path of Federal Hill so you can most likely find plenty of parking and a long wait is 20 minutes not 2 hours.

I'm a salad person and Bob and Timmy's grilled vegetable pizza is my favorite. Despite it's excellence the salad runs no risk of overshadowing the pizza. Consistently creative and delicious, a great no-fail spot.

Inexpensive and fabulous. I'm a NY boy and Love ny pizza... this is NOT ny style PiZza. Different but delicious. We started with a calzone... Shared among three. It is huge and was too much for an appetizer. Interesting that in RI the ricotta is Not included with their calzone. Just moERELLA and sauce inside. . WE added the ricotta as an extra and it was great. For pizza we had half buffalo chicken and half lasagna. Crust is thin and crunchy... best I can describe is similar in taste and texture to a thin pita. This is a must go to if in area and want an inexpensive meal.

Kevin M.

I certainly wasn't expecting have a negative review to write on this place, but my expectations were incorrect. I was incredibly excited to come to this place after seeing Man vs. Food as well as reading all the positive reviews. Coming from NYC where you get the best pizza in country, it's pretty easy to judge any pizza you have. Came here and ordered a pizza and found it to be very average. I even slowed down and ate it at a much slower pace to see if I was missing something. Nope, it just wasn't blowing me away. I found the dough to be a little thicker than I'd like, and the cheese and sauce were nothing to write home about. We finished the pizza for the sheer fact that we had not eaten all afternoon in anticipation of this pizza so we were starving. Hurts to have to give this place 2 stars, but it's certainly an accurate reflection in my opinion

C S.

The pizza was very good. Not traditional Neapolitan fold em and flip em. We had the mushroom trio with tomatoes and onion Thin crust. The taste of the grill was very good. All very fresh veggies. It wouldn't take much to class up the place to match the good food. It felt like I was in a take-out place. Sure only 30 people capacity but we started at the bar and after the credit card was passed between my wife and I twice, we had to tell the server to go to the end of the bar to hand the takeout order to the customer. She was getting ready to hand the order between us. We soon moved to a table. I thought $4.50 for a Sam Adams for this place was a bit steep but the pizza was very decently priced. Again, felt like I was in a takeout place.

William E.

Pretty good stuff.....I expected to be more blown away after reading the reviews. To be fair....the place was packed the night we were there....so not being acknowledged for 10-15 minutes when waiting to be seated was more than aggravating. Once seated our waitress was very nice and did what she could to get us some quick drinks and appetizers. The pizza was good....not great...but good. I had a banana pepper & spinach pie which I thought was pretty good....I asked for it well done.....but was too hungry to send it back when it came out regularly cooked. Overall worth a return visit....just not on a Saturday night during a Waterfire event.

Slow service and lame pizza crust and low grade sausage and prosciutto. At least the salad was passable. Waited 45 minutes at lunch for pizza with the place less than half full! Hello, pizza takes 12-15 to make!

The location is easy to get to and the pizza is really yummy. It's only losing points for the spotty service and it could have been a bit cleaner.

In terms of just taste, I'd vote for Bob & Timmy's and Al Forno for the best pizza in Providence. However, when you also account for variety, service and price, Bob & Timmy's has the edge. Flavorful crust with just the right amount of chewiness and smoky wood taste, the only thing I could wish for is delivery service.

Lorin K.

A history text book published in 2200 CE will likely contain this excerpt: "In the early 21st century, pizza was a very popular delicacy in the United States. Many restaurateurs attempted to perfect the dish. This led to an arms race. Some decided to put cheese inside the crust, others put macaroni and cheese on their pizza. Meanwhile, in a medium sized college town on the East Coast (now completely underwater), a Providence pizza place called Bob and Timmy's perfected what is called a "grilled pizza." To this day, pizzologists have yet to surpass this pizza."

Tina Z.

This is my absolute favorite pizza. I love the extremely thin crust. It is a healthy pizza, which is out of this world. They have the best toppings, grilled chicken, feta cheese, spinach, and sauted onions....I dont' have a favorite, so I order a few of the specialties.
(5)
Patricia M.

A friend suggested this place for lunch after being shocked I hadn't heard of it and I am so happy she did. We split eggplant fries, a salad and the spinach, mushroom, & feta grilled pizza. Everything was perfection. I keep thinking about the eggplant fries. The salad was fresh & lettuce chopped just right. The pizza tasted fresh and the crust was amazing. Our waitress was very nice also. I will definitely be a return customer.

Amanda D.

Great food!! Try the spinach and mushroom pizza. On a side note, whats with the girl I think Chelsea? who always sits in the back on her phone or at the bar. Is she a waitress or a manager? Confusing. Sometimes everyone else seems to be running around like cray cray and she's just chilling. She seems very unhappy and super rude. That puts me off from ever visiting again. Not really a nice atmosphere. No thank you.

Amanda P.

I just have to mention that it was kind of amusing when I was in here recently and one of the girls identified me by my yelp review asking if I was the author to which I said yes. It is really great to know that even the waitstaff and bartenders are involved enough to read these reviews.

Love - Love - Love The most delicious thin crust pizza, delish! I'm too in love with the spinach and mushroom explosion thing that I get EVERY TIME but someday I'll venture (or loose the battle of 'what kind of pizza should we get') and will try something new. It's really amazing and I suggest you add it to the regular repertoire. Did I mention that it's thin crust?!?! DELISH!

Grace R.

Their pizzas are indeed legendary! They are thin-crust, gourmet, delicious and are nothing what you have had before. They redefine pizza and I must say Bob & Timmy's is one of the top candidates in PVD! You gotta get down and dirty with their pizzas. Now we're talkin'. One of my all time favorites is the Spinach and Mushroom pizza. I am not a vegetarian but who knew this vegetarian pizza has become one of my regular orders. Besides the main ingredients of FRESH spinach and mushrooms, what really makes the pizza is the garlic. It's so freakin' flavorful and it will make you want more. All the ingredients stay on the pizza with the melted mozzarella cheese (we replaced the feta with it, I know it is a sin but oh well that's how I like it). The down and dirty part is the Sausage Supreme: sweet Italian sausage, mozzarella, pomodoro, red onions, green and red Peppers. I don't know why but the red onions give the pizza the kick and makes it the winner for me. There are A LOT going on so it's truly a party in your stomach and hands. Ingredients might not fully stay on the pizza so be prepared to dig in. I have never dined in so I can't comment on the service. My hubby also ordered some Teriyaki wings there before and they turn out to be very delicious too. They are the very saucy kind and will leave you lickin' your fingers. Now go get some pizza! You will not be disappointed.

Annie J.

Three words: pink vodka sauce. Listen, the crust here is hit or miss. Sometimes it's cooked to perfection, and other times it can be a little too burnt. But you know what makes this pizza always good, 100% of the time? The pink vodka sauce. Add their sautÃ©ed onions + gorgonzola + mozzarella + parmesan + romano cheese and you've got an amazing, unique, delicious pizza. Tip: one pizza is definitely enough for two or even three (if you're not that hungry) people. Also, if you get it to go, just remember to have someone turn on the oven so you can reheat it when you get it home. The thin crust gets cold pretty quickly!

Brandi M.

I went to Bob & Timmy's Grilled pizza the other night on a very busy Saturday, I'm guessing the busyness was pretty normal for them. My friends and I got seated pretty quick, we were probably waiting maybe 10 minutes. The restaurant it's self it's very big but I kinda like that about it...you don't feel like just another number. Now the food presentation was just what I was hoping for: lots of topping, very fresh produce and huge portions (finally a place that makes a salad I can't quite finish). My friends got the Veggie Medly Pie, and onion rings. I got the Grilled Vegetable salad. The pizza looked amazing and my friends enjoyed every bit of it....yes I did sneak a few bits of their pizza cause I just couldn't help myself. My Grilled Vegetable salad was delicious; it came with grilled eggplant, zuchini, tomato, onion and bell peppers on a ginormous bed of fresh spinach. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I need to go back for my own pizza, I got my eye on the Trio of Wild Mushrooms. Otherwise Bob & Timmys is doing things right and I am a fan.

Joselyn Y.

Almost a five star place (they lost a star due to service either being awesome or so-so). Anyway! As everyone has already said, this is THE PLACE to go in Rhode Island for some delicious pizza (grilled!). So far everything we ordered here was awesome and the staff are always ready to make accommodations for anything you don't want on the pizza. As a note for pizza lovers/people who really know their pizza: it's considered thin crust. Or at least as thin crust as you can get (although not that thin) and you might not dig this place if you prefer more oomf! in your pizza. We didn't get any drinks so I can't speak to that but overall, it the place that we always come crawling back to.

Jake B.

All Hail the great Bob and Timmy's, the finest grilled pizza in all of Federal Hill and beyond! B+T's, as it is called by locals, was reportedly the pie of choice for disgraced former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. And if that guy knows about one thing besides murder, it's pizza! Bob and Timmy's pizza is a refreshing alternative to Caserta and the other classic pizzerias on the hill.

Chrissy M.

Bob & Timmy's is located at 32 Spruce Street in Providence, RI. It is nestled in the quaint area known as Federal Hill. With an over abundance of restaurants to choose from it may seem like a difficult decision on where to eat. I can tell you one thing though - if you want friendliness, a cool atmosphere, and GREAT pizza then you want to head to Bob & Timmy's. The big deal about the pizza here is that it is thin crust and grilled on an open wood fire. The result is phenomenal. The crust is thin and upon first sight of the pizza we didn't think we would be able to pick it up without all the toppings falling off. We were wrong. The crust was crispy and held the whole pie together perfectly! One of the pies they are most famous for is the Spinach & Mushroom pie. It consists of sauteed mushrooms, spinach, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan, Romano and Feta cheese. Now, if you are like me, the idea of the Feta throws you off immediately. Having said that - just ignore that there is Feta on it and get this pizza. The combination of the cheese flavors with the spinach & mushrooms bursts in your mouth awakening all of your senses. We also tried the grilled chicken pizza - grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, pomodoro sauce, Parmesan, Romano and Gorgonzola cheeses topped with parsley. Equally as good as the spinach pie, this one really made my mouth happy. I'm a huge fan of pomodoro sauce and this one was fresh and tangy. The combination of cheeses again is an art that Bob & Timmy's has mastered - they know just the right ones to top a pie with that compliment all the ingredients. If you are indecisive (as my husband and I were this night) you can get a pie half & half. Pick two pizzas and they'll make half of each. Does it get better than that? The restaurant serves beer & wine and they have an excellent little patio on the side that is shaded by trees and provides a nice al fresco experience. If you like to people watch while enjoying delicious food then this is the place to sit. The inside was clean but small and it can get crowded by the front door if there is a wait. The servers were friendly and the patrons were too! We ended up chatting with a couple of people we were sitting beside. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. We had a total of four beers, a house salad (that was gigantic), and the half & half pizza and with tip our total came to $50. Plus we went home with some pizza - lunch for the next day! The place packs them in so if you want to go and not have a wait I suggest getting there between 4 & 5. When we left around 7 the line was out the door for a table! Overall this restaurant exceeded my expectations. You can't go wrong when you receive service with a genuine smile and food that jolts your tastebuds back from the dead. We left with a happy belly and a feeling of contentment - nothing wrong with that.

Came in with a friend recently for a four cheese with no red onion and pizza 2. Both are good. Four cheese did not taste like it was attacked with a salt shaker this time, much better
(4)
Alex B.

Got the 4-cheese in a pinch at work. Excellent all around with a sublime vodka sauce that was perfectly proportioned with the other toppings. But that's not why I'm writing this review. The true standout here is a crust that is second in my eyes only to those of Sally's/Pepe's. Everything was right; the thickness, the texture, and the wonderful searing from the grill. It really was that good, and it was plenty quick/cheap to boot.

Melinda C.

Meh. I suspect they were having an off night, b/c they seemed at least a little understaffed (one person was trailing a server). We ordered nachos and a grilled Number 1 pizza. Salsa on the nachos was tasty, but the cheese wasn't entirely melted. I mean, really not melted, like cold pieces were visible under the melted layer. At first I thought it was b/c of the cold sour cream, but then, well, I think it just didn't spend enough time under the broiler. The pizza was pretty underwhelming too. Seemed like it wasn't rotated properly, since only half was a little gummy, while the other was crispy. The sauce was way too sweet for my taste. The pizza here seems like a decent execution of Midwestern-style cracker crust, which is really not my thing. In Federal HIll, I'll take Caserta or Sicilia's any day. Granted they're not grilled, but they're better. I tacked on an extra star for the outdoor seating. It's fantastic. Nice view of the church and even some trees. Servers were nice too.

We are pizza lovers. Found this place to be incredible. From ny on business walked from our hotel, the salad was amazing , we got penne with sauce and fresh ricotta. When pizza came with red onions in vodka sauce truly superb. Is at hidden secret the waitress told us and she was the best waitress we've had in a long time. Go go go

Stephanie M.

I'm a deep-dish, thick-crust lover, usually, when it comes to my pizza. That I will eat here is a tribute to the incredible things they put on their pizzas. Also, the pasta. Pizza first. They have this mushroom pizza - three types of mushrooms, tomatoes, and if you get it with added sausage, it's the perfect pizza. Perfect, I tell you. They also have dessert pizza(!), including a fruit-tart pizza that is just UNBELIEVABLE. Onwards. The pasta, oh, the pasta. The last time I was here, I had a lobster ravioli that was EXCELLENT - and far less money for far more ravioli than most places on the hill. On average, their pasta dishes serve two generously. They have a wide choice of sauces and toppings, so good for even the most picky of eaters. (No gluten-free, but really? It's a pizza place. They do do an AWESOME dairy-free pie, though.)

Lasagna. Yum. Pizza. Also yum. But a lasagna pizza? Mind:blown. I've got to say that it is a rare occasion that I crave pizza but when I was introduced to Bob and Timmy's, I was hooked. I've been here a few times and have even ventured out to try they mescalin salad (which has a house-made dressing that is addicting and delicious). The first time around, I tried the lasagna pizza with sausage: AWESOME. Second time around with my BF (who is a huge Clams fan) we tried the Great White pizza which had chopped clams and lots of tasty cheese. This was amazing in its own right. The only thing that I'm not too crazy about is the service here. Sometimes it is timely, other times it sucked. Bad. Is the pizza worth the iffy service? For the most part, yes.

If you are missing New Haven style pizza then don't look for it here. Unfortunately the pizza wasn't worth the price and it lacked flavor. By far, my biggest dissapointment was the crust...just wasn't right. Positive note: The place is very clean and the staff is very attentive. My glass was always full and new plates for each course.

Very tasty but I can't help but feel a little cheated when I can gobble down an entire 14" grilled pizza (grilled chicken) and still not feel sated. I am anything but one of those competitive eater pigs who eats 3000 hot dogs in 2 minutes and normally only get 2-3 slices of Sicilia's or the average medium crust pizza into the belly without calling it quits. After you add a soda, tax and tip, you're out the door for $20, for pizza for one average eater.

Def not impressed. Maybe cause it's too hyped up. My pizza was undercooked. The cheese barely melted and the pepperoni's not even lukewarm. When leaving they boxed two pizza's in one box, basically just throwing my pizza on top of my girlfriends. Big problem with that is I am allergic to grated cheese (why I ordered mine without) yet it's now all over the bottom of my pizza. So I guess no left overs for me, smhh. I don't know if it was sheer laziness or a cost cutting measure not to just give us two boxes.

I went here last night and the service was genuinely friendly and attentive. I love that the grilled crust is slightly chewy and has that hint of smokey grilled flavor. I am not a fan of crispy cardboard grilled pizza and this place has the exact opposite. I was also impressed with the teriyaki wings, they were huge and the teriakyi sauce was delicious. We ordered the four cheese pizza with the pink vodka sauce and added clams to it. Perfect blend of flavors. The cocktail list is also awesome!! Don't have anything bad to say about my experience. Best pizza around!

We absolutely love their pizza. It's very affordable and the grilled pizza is amazing. if you like thin pizza, this is a must try. We prefer take out vs dining in due to our few experiences eating there weren't the greatest. Slow service when we were there and one time they even forgot about us as we were sitting outside on the patio. I believe they must have hired someone new as well, because when we call to order the girl on the phone is extremely hospitable and friendly! Unfortunately, they forgot to add chicken to a caesar salad we ordered so they gave us a refund over the phone. One tip with the salads...get the dressing on the side so you don't get overwhelmed! All in all, great pizza, chicken tenders and salads!!!

Bob and Timmy's oh boy where do I begin. So on the many great Yelp reviews, my GF and I decide to head out for pizza on a very dreary Saturday night. For some reason it always seems on rainy nights we are heading out for pizza. Again, based on Yelp suggestions, we went with the lasagna pizza. A big thank you has to go out to all the reviewers here because this was one good pizza. My GF made the smart suggestion of putting meat on this pizza. The lasagna at Bob and Timmy's is sans meat, which is odd since that is the one thing I love about lasagna. We elected to put meatball on the pizza and it added such a great foil to the huge amounts ricotta cheese. The pizza was fantastic and I can't wait to try their other pizzas like their Great White Clam pizza. Like other reviews have stated, the inside isn't spectacular. In fact they have only about 7-8 tables, but it appears they are mainly a take out place. I do like their large glass windows but unfortunately the view is not of Federal Hill, it is of the ugly West Side. The side view looking at the church is nice though. With the smaller restaurant, the wait staff is very attentive. Highly recommend Bob and Timmy's for take out and eating in, I would call ahead before heading over if you thinking of eating in just to make sure you aren't looking at a wait.

What hasn't been said!? We got a half half -- four cheese (A MUST) and mushroom spinach. Perfect combo - both had completely different flavors! Great service, delicious food.

This pizza never disappoints. The hardest part of coming here is deciding what to order. I usually like my pizza crust crispy. It's not the crispiest but the flavors are so good that it doesn't even matter. Other things that are delicious - their calzones, pastas, and definitely get the grilled vegetable salad. It's huge so don't order it thinking it's an appetizer salad. You'll need to share! The decor is nothing special but once you taste the pizza, you won't care about that.

Nev K.

Quite possibly the best pizza I have ever had The pizzas have the perfect combination of cheese, sauce, and breading. I specially enjoy their four cheese & the spinach and mushrooms. What more can I say other than this is a must-try for anybody who appreciates pizza.

Stephanie T.

How sappy, but I came here on a first date and it was the perfect spot. Not too big, not too loud, intimate and quaint. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. They have a lot to choose from on their menu. We both ordered calzones and I am so glad we did. They were absolutely delicious and at a good price. They were a pretty large size as well, so you could take some home for later! The only down side to this experience was that our waitress charged us double on our bill and that was a whole big thing to get fixed. It took a while for the money to go back onto the card, but other than that it was a pleasant experience and I recommend it if you're a picky eater (like myself) and are in the area.

Oh boy, this pizza was not what I expected. It could be because I ordered the margarita pizza and not the regular style, but take a look at my first photo to see what I'm talking about. I've never seen a margherita pizza look like that before. Yes, that is prosciutto on it, which comes standard on all their margherita pizzas. At first I thought I accidentally received somebody else's order and thought, "Who ordered the ham pizza?" Call it what you like, but my pizza reminded me more of fococcia bread, only thinner. Overall it was very good, but I wouldn't exactly compare it to regular pizza. It's entirely unique by itself and is certainly one of the more interesting pizza styles I've had in a long time. I was OK with that because I like trying different styles. By the way, check out my second photo. You New Jersey people probably would consider that underside to be burnt, but to a pizza snob and New Haven boy like myself, that's just cooked. However, I must admit, Bobby & Tommy's take blackness to a whole new level.

My first sample of grilled pizza.... I can see why they'd claim to be legendary. It was pretty awesome! I got the veggie pie and it was great. The Calamari wasn't anything to shake a stick at either. Would definitely head back in a heartbeat!

Great pizza and sangria

Brad S.

As someone who is new to grilled pizza, I would say that despite the char of the grill providing a nice flavor to the underside of the crust, the foccaccia-style crust doesn't provide the much-coveted stability and crispiness that I'm looking for in a crust. With that being said, the spinach and mushroom pie was phenomenally delicious. Mind-blowingly good. But you could create those flavors in a regular pizza oven, too, right? I'm an outsider, so my opinion probably means nothing. The spinach and mushroom pizza, though, will live on in my mind for years to come.

Annamarie T.

One of the best grilled pizzas!!! I've been here a couple of times, the food is always great and so is the service. I love the grilled pizza here, and the fried calamari is delicious! Quite affordable compared to some of the other places on fed hill, I would def recommend checking this place out.

Bob and Timmy's was good pizza--well made, interesting combos, good service. I think for my personal taste, it's just not my preferred style. The pizzas at Bob and Timmy's are super thin, FLAKY, crisp, lots of sweet sauce, and LOTS of toppings. I think that's the hook here--the toppings really drip off the pizza and there are interesting flavors in the seasoning. Personally, though, I think I like my pizza a little more "balanced," with proportions equal to the individual components making up the pie. For instance, I'm a big fan of John's Pizza in Manhattan, Grimaldi's in Brooklyn, and Lou Malnati's in Chicago. Those would be by top 3 hands down. But the key to their pizza-genius is the way their crust, cheese, sauce, and toppings are distributed in proportion to their constituents. Lou Malnati's is a class DEEP dish, but the egregarious amounts of cheese, sauce, and toppings are perfectly attuned to the thickness of crust. Similarly, we've got NY style pizza at John's and Grimaldi's--one has more sauce, the other more cheese. But both have a thin crust over a large area that can accomodate a slight range in those ingredients. At both places, the toppings aren't overwhelming. I still need to be able to clearly taste the house made sauce. I like Bob and Timmy's and I'll go back anytime. It's just not my favorite slice in the NE.

I was searching for some good pizza on a Friday night and stumbled across Bob and Timmy's. The Yelp reviews did not lie: this place is awesome!!! Totally loved the veggie pizza (way more than just a few mushrooms and dried peppers). And yes, the lasagna pizza was to die for, especially with the meatballs. On a side note, the service I received was consistently fantastic. The servers were just so pleasant and engaging. I haven't had the pleasure of eating in yet (have taken the pizza home from work three times so far) but I'm sure I'll be even more pleased.

Best grilled pizza. Situated of the man drag of the hill sits this tiny pizza place. I've had many kinds of pizza from Bob & Timmy's and they are all good even the simplest is yummie. The service is super friendly and the prices are amazing. Be sure to get a garden salad with your pie as that balsamic dressing is incredible!

You know that mix of pleasure and shame you feel when you discover a delight that you had been haplessly unaware of, somehow hidden from you in your own neighborhood? I felt that today, when, with a mouthful of Bob & Timmy's Legendary Grilled Pizza, I looked at my boyfriend and sputtered, "We've been sleeping on a giant!" Straight up pepperoni grilled pie - so completely satisfying. Addictive, lightly charred crust. Also, Pizza Number 1: simple grilled pie with Romano, Gorgonzola, and Pomodoro sauce. Parm and parsley on top. I had driven past the place at least five times, and could not have told you there was a restaurant there. It just doesn't have much of a street presence. Now I realize it doesn't really need one; it is evident that their reputation was in place long before I started to call Providence "home." They have enjoyed Food Network and Today Show exposure (I'd missed this, too). They are more than just a steady hum in the background of the Providence restaurant scene. If you aren't splattered with red sauce and happy as a clam, you're doing it wrong.

I cannot believe I haven't written a review for Bob & Timmy's yet. You would think that the number of times I have given into my craving for this would prompt me to write a review, but I think I've gotten so lost in my desire for the four cheese pizza that I can't think of anything else. I know, I know. You're thinking: four cheese, really cheese pizza is what you crave? But wait, you haven't heard what's on it. Pink Vodka sauce and caramelized onions with the 4 cheeses: Gorgonzola, Romano, Mozzarella, and Parmesan. Now is your mouth starting to water, right. It better be because mine just started again. Anyway this place is a hole in the wall, maybe 12 tables inside and 4 seats at the bar, but the wood grilled pizza, nice and thin is to die for. I usually get take out, but the times I have stayed the service has been friendly and good - nothing that memorable either way - outside of the pizza of course.

I talked up Bob & Timmy's to the mister for months before we finally went. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations, and we both left feeling pretty bummed. This was the second Date Night in a row to feature calamari, so I think it might be a Thing We're Doing... fine by me! The pomodoro sauce was good, though I wish there'd been more; the squid was flavorful and well-cooked but just rings, which always makes me feel slightly bummed 'cause I like eating tentacles. I just realized how gross that last bit was. OH WELL. We ordered the Margarita Pizza: Sliced Tomatoes, Prosciutto, Basil, Fresh Mozzarella, Olive Oil and Shredded Parmesan. It was fine, but there was - literally - only the tiniest bit of prosciutto. In fact, I completely forgot there was even supposed to be prosciutto on it - and the mister didn't want to make a fuss, so he didn't say anything about how disappointed he was. I don't know, man. I was really psyched about Bob & Timmy's, I love the grilled crust, I enjoyed the calamari, but the skimpiness of the toppings was a real let-down. Not sure we'll be back.

This is now my favorite pizza on the hill. My boyfriend and I just moved to the area and stumbled across this little gem while walking the neighborhood. The margarita pizza is amazing. And we took a peek at the BBQ chicken pizza next to us and decided we neeeed to try that next. The beer and lq selection was a little weak. Only a few good ones on draft but overall great food and service

I almost don't know where to begin...after being seated, I made it patently clear to our waitress that my 4yo and I wanted a "plain cheese pizza." I even pointed to it on the menu, and said "No, I don't think he'd like gorgonzola. I want a Plain Cheese Pizza." Twenty minutes later, another waitress comes by with a four-cheese pie, covered in onions and who knows what else? I sent it back, which meant we had to wait another 20 minutes for what we'd ordered in the first place. So now we're at 40 minutes, with a hungry, antsy 4yo child. Finally the pizza comes, we eat, we enjoy. Is it one of the top 25 in the country, as advertised? Eh...maybe not. Our waitress apologized, saying it was only her 3rd day on the job, but when you're being backed up by two more slow, inattentive waitresses, that's hardly an excuse. Knowing that I was going to wait in Limbo for one of them to come by to pick up the check I had to go to the register myself, where my $19 bill was ignored and instead charged $91 on someone else's check. Good pizza, 4 stars. Crap service, 1 star. Costly inattention to my bill, 1 star. Average 'em, 2 stars. I won't be back. Update: Examining my receipt, I discovered that they'd also charged me for the more expensive pie. I went back and demanded the manager give me my money back. He did, grudgingly and with enough resistance that the entire restaurant heard my complaint. Am I a jerk? Perhaps. Was I in the right? I think so. GFY, B&T's.

This pizza was by far one of the best I have ever eaten. Not only are the prices reasonable but between five people we still couldn't finish two large pizzas. The outdoor seating has a great location but the indoor seating is a little less appealing. The chairs are a little uncomforatble and the tables could be a little bigger but all and all I had a great experince here. This establishment provides a great atmosphere to just come and enjoy a great meal.

A+ pizza. I have only eaten delivery, so I can only comment on the pizza itself. But for a pizza place, taste comes before everything else anyway. Amazing thin crust grilled to perfection. Fresh tomatoes, spinach mushrooms and other toppings. Just the right amount of red tomato sauce.

I love Bob and Timmy's. I haven't been to Providence in a few years but I used to go every weekend my Aunt lived right across the street from them and every time I went ordered pizza and the buffalo wings. I have to say they really make the wings good. They are spicy and they are never soggy..Great!! that's what I love about wings. The pizza is so thin and its grilled. My aunt used to order one with spinach and Gorgonzola cheese and I never really liked Gorgonzola but on this pizza I loved it. Oh how I wish i was back in Providence, but my aunt moved away.. :(

Terry S.

On my brother's first visit to PVD I ordered from Bob and Timmy's. He didn't seem too excited about the idea of pizza but when he tasted it his eyes popped open wide like a cartoon character. We proceeded to devour the entire pie, he even mentioned that even though he was full, he could not stop eating it because it was so good. Absolutely amazing. There are a few pizza places that stand out, and thusfar this is the standout here in Providence. Get the grilled pizza. Very thin, tasty crust. Their toppings are the freshest toppings I've ever had on any pizza in my entire life. I don't know how it's possible to get this kind of flavor from toppings. Don't miss this place.

OK i saw the review in GQ but it was after I had added it to my list of places I had to check out in Providence .. The article just made me want to go here more. One of the best in the USA? The night we were there was pretty crowded and there were a few small groups in the lobby area (hallway in front of bathroom really) so we put out name in and waited. One group was seated and then a few minutes later we were - maybe a 10 minute wait, not too bad - this place is small (maybe in the summer when you can sit outside its easier to get a seat) .. the people in front of us didn't know about having to put your name on a list and weren't too happy we were seated before them I guess, but I didn't make the rules .. sorry for the mixup. We ordered our pizzas and some fries. The fries were very good (for a pizza place) and worth getting if you like fries with your Italian food. We had the #1 wood grilled pizza (Parmesan, Romano and Gorgonzola Cheese with our Pomodoro Sauce and Parsley) and the vegetable medley wood grilled pizza (Baby Spinach, diced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, crumbled feta cheese, shredded parmesan cheese and olive oil) - both were excellent and unique in their own ways. The crust is thin like a crisp grilled wafer and their sauce was sweet and paste-like but smooth - the toppings were all good quality and overall the pie and the experience at B&T were excellent.. Friendly quick staff, great food, parking over there is a bit less than easy - but if you go early (or late) and avoid prime meal times maybe it won't be so bad (or get it to go..) and the next day the left overs reheated much better than i expected.

First time, here with a friend who ran the marathons. The appetizer calamari was awesome according to the two who ate it. The pepperoncini and sauce really makes it good. We got a spinach and mushroom, half an everything and half a grilled chicken pizza. They were all good. Try are known for the spinach and mushroom, but the runner loved her grilled chicken, and there were tons of toppings on the "everything". One thing I liked was the fact that their sausage is NOT heavy on the fennel. Awesome. Too bad we are leaving tomorrow, we would totally come back and try some of the other things.

Since GQ has always been one of the few publications I consider worth reading, I was ecstatic to see them do an article devoted to the best pizzas in the country. This was not intended to showcase the best pizza places, per se, although that was an obvious result, but the true intent was to name which specific pies were worth the journey to have. Bob & Timmy's, along with Al Forno down the street, both made the list, with B&T's spinach, mushroom and feta grilled pizza coming in at #5 (for the full list see reuters.com/article/presâ€¦ ). I had never had, and only just vaguely heard of, grilled pizza prior to finding out I was coming to Providence for a few weeks. As fate would have it, I got to try both of these places and the specific pizzas mentioned. I know some might think that's not nearly as cool as tasting the top 1 or 2 places, or that the list is pointless because YOUR favorite isn't on there. Well I don't care, for me this was a completely new experience and a new way to eat pizza, so that alone was an eye opening culinary treat, regardless of where they actually rank in the American hierarchy. My waitress, Angel, was new to B&T's but she quickly figured out that a lot of people were splitting pies. I wanted to join the masses and see what all the fuss was about, so I went with a half of the now famous spinach and mushroom, and the other half margherita (note: unlike typical margherita pizzas this one also includes prosciutto). It was a beautiful night, so I sat out on the patio, and despite what people say about this place being somewhat in the ghetto, I thought the church just next to it was a beautiful backdrop. I have to admit, had I ordered just the spinach and mushroom pizza this probably would have been a 5 star review, it really is that damn good ( flickr.com/photos/wedoitâ€¦ ). I don't know what they marinate and/or saute the mushrooms in, but the texture and flavor is near flawless. There is a very generous amount of feta as well, which plays as a wonderful contract to the spinach. I didn't think one taste of pizza was fair enough to review this place though, so I'm glad I split the order up. The margherita half ( flickr.com/photos/wedoitâ€¦ ) I had quite a few issues with, and that is the reason I had to drop the rating here, and I honestly considered dropping it further, but fortunately for B&T the spinach and mushroom was overwhelmingly good enough to pick up the slack. First of all, and most importantly, the quality of the cheese used in the margherita is nowhere near that of the feta in the other pie. The mozzarella is not gooey like you would expect, and the shredded parmesan is somehow nearly flavorless. The tomatoes also don't taste very fresh, and I hate to say store bought, but that's what they resembled. Finally, when I think of prosciutto I automatically start to salivate at the perfect execution of pork and salt, but this was too dry, too bland, and too sparse. The margherita was a 2 or 3 star pizza, but thankfully the spinach and mushroom was so amazing that it more than pulled its weight. So be careful what you order here, and go with what's a proven winner unless you're just up to a challenge.

At first blush, people might greet the review of a Rhode Island-based pizza place by someone who lives in Orange County with skepticism. But I have eaten at Bob & Timmy's a few times over the last few years, and it's one of my favorites in the country. Whenever I'm in Rhode Island, I make it a point to eat here. Bob & Timmy's serves an excellent example of grilled pizza. The spinach and mushroom pizza, in fact, is so good that I have never tried anything else. Both the mushrooms and the feta would be the standouts if it were not for the fact that the flatbread crust is perfect.

My second visit to this godawful dive was worst than the first. As always, parking in Providence can be challenging. After a 10 minute walk, I entered the grimy, dark, and noisy establishment. It was the same as my first visit - the patrons seemed to be having a good time, especially the louder drunk ones. I instantly regretted entering, but I was obligated as this was the designated location for a co-worker's going away party. The rave reviews astonish me. Service was terrible, glassware and silverware were dirty, and all the appetizers were cold when they arrived. My "pizza", an overcooked slab of pita bread with indeterminable slop on top, was inedible. The crust was hard and black, and if I ate charcoal briquettes this is what I'd imagine they taste like. I gave this place a single star because negative stars aren't an option. If Bob and Timmy are real people, I want them to know that they killed a piece of my soul.

Pretty impressive little place. Although tonight was 7 degrees outside, the pizza was warm and pretty good. The waitress was proactive and asked is if we wanted the thin crust or traditional. The kids prefer the traditional while the wife and I prefer the thin crust. This was huge as our kids are kinda picky pizza eaters. So we got one cheese traditional and a roni thin and a margarita thin. The margarita was piled with prosciutto and mozzarella and basil. Pretty nice ! The sauce on the roni was excellent. The three kids killed the cheese, so I didn't get to try that. Place is small so I can see how it gets crowded. The parking can be tough and so can negotiating the narrow street, especially in snow. Full bar, which is a bonus as well, since they just mention beer and wine on the menu. Try it out and enjoy !

Good place to try some grilled pizza. Very small inside, be prepared to wait. Also has an outside seating area. Grilled margherita pizza was really good. Good size portion to split with someone. Grilled veggie salad was good as well, including big portion sizes here too. Although I didnt order them, they fries smelled really good and looked like a huge portion. Overall, prices were fairly inexpensive. I would come back here again without a doubt.

Bob & Timmy's was recently featured in GQ which cited their Spinach & Mushroom Grilled Pizza as among the best in the country. In part, this led us there in search of relatively fast, casual meal. We headed over on a Friday evening and somewhat expectedly encountered about a 40 minute wait for a table. For starters, the food itself is excellent. We ordered two grilled pizzas (Margherita and Spinach & Mushroom) to share, and both were really a delight. Their crust is unusually thin, slightly crisp and the toppings were executed in a way that impressed me since that can sometimes be the hard part for places to get - Not too much, not too little, but just right. The pizzas are big enough to feed about three (two if you're starving) and everything is priced very reasonably. My only qualm with the whole place is that they're apparently not prepared for their recent popularity since service was very choppy and the dining room and outdoor seating area had waits for them despite being filled with (I mean 5 or so) empty tables. The waitresses are also the hostesses and they apparently throw the waiting list around to one another, so it's hard to keep track of your wait time and position on the list, but if you're willing to cooperate a little with their somewhat wacky organization (or lack thereof), it is a great place to try something very different. I look forward to returning to try more of their great, super-thin grilled pizzas.

if you love grilled pizzas, this is the place to be! i've had every single grilled pizza on their menu and the ones that stand out have to be spinach and mushroom, trio mushroom pizza, lasagna pizza, BBQ chicken and margarita pizza! i usually half 1/2 and 1/2 which i think is an incredible idea- that way you kill two birds with one stone! sangria is also yum. atmosphere is ok but with great company, you'll be so in love with the pizza, it doesnt matter whether you sit inside or outside!! love this place!!

Not your typical Federal Hill restaurant, but such a fun place. They have a really cute outdoor patio and a really relaxed casual feel. The grilled pizzas are great and the portions on everything is huge-- my mom and I split the arugula salad and the grilled veggie pizza and barely made a dent in the pizza once we started on the enormous salad. Prices are great, the menu is extensive, and because its not actually ON Atwells Ave. it seems to be a little less busy than other restaurants there. Would definitely come back!

So different than the average pizza joint that you normally go to! Bob and Timmy's are very creative with thin crust pizza. A pizza usually cost about $12-16, but it will fill easily 4-5 people. I was glad I took my time away from Sicilia's pizzeria (which is my favorite) to try this place out. The staff was good, but seemed like they didn't really like being there, and you can tell by how they served people with very little interaction with customers. The meatball and spinach pizza was filled with toppings, but with way too much spinach!

Eric S.

Not what it used to be. I'm afraid this is going to be a minority view. Especially since it's a very long term view and most reviewers here probably never knew the old Bob and Timmy's. The old Bob and Timmy's pizza really WAS something special. It may very well have deserved being called one of the top pizzas in the world. The current pizza is decent, even above average, but it's disappointing compared to what it once was. I don't know when this happened. I used to frequent the place in 90's when it was still in the plaza. Then I moved away and was only able to visit the place now and then. For a while it continued to be the great place it was. On my recent visit, the first in a few years, it was clear it is no longer the same place. Their pizza used to be minimalistic. Deceptively simple. The pizza now is overloaded with toppings, and the simple balance of great ingredients it used to have is lost in a big muddle. Some may think I'm crazy for faulting them for being generous. The old pizza really was not going to fill you up the way you might expect from another pizza. It was thin and the toppings were proportional to that thinness. Now it seems like they try to make up for the thinness by piling them on. I wish they would realize that sometimes less is more. A similar philosophy was reflected in the old Bob and Timmy's menu. It was simple, just a handful of salads, a handful of pastas, and maybe a 10-12 pizzas, each of them a well-crafted gem. Now they seem to have lots of typical crap on the menu that every other two bit pizza and sub shop carries. Nachos? Chicken fingers? I'm sorry that's not what you come to Bob and Timmy's for (at least not the old one), you can get that stuff anywhere. Maybe they've had to dumb-down their menu and their pizza to survive. I don't know. All I know is it makes me sad.

A-MA-ZING!! I finally made it here and can't wait to go back. We ordered the BBQ Chicken pizza (the gouda really made it stand out) and the Vegetable Medley pizza (great fresh ingredients). The crust is perfectly thin, but firm enough to withstand the ample toppings. Ambiance is that of a small pub. The only negative was the initial service of getting sat/drinks/ordering was pretty slow...but the pizza made up for it. Waitress was very nice, they just could have used another one.

Five stars, no question. My friends agree, and we often return to Bob & Timmy's Grilled Pizza for a relaxing, tasty meal. You can eat indoors or out, and the outdoor area is tucked away and hidden from the busy commerce of Atwells Avenue only one block away. I highly recommend the order of a pizza (the kind without tomato sauce on it) accompanied by a side of marinara for dipping. Calzones are the largest I've ever seen, longer than my outstretched man-hands.

Bob & Timmy's definitely has some legendary grilled pizza. I stopped here for lunch one day with a friend after we had seen a review on The Today Show regarding their Spinach & Mushroom pizza. Let me tell you something; it was on The Today Show for a reason. It was effin delish! I couldn't believe how awesome it was; grilled to perfection and ample toppings. They offer a great beer selection and outdoor seating, both a big plus!

Apparently, grilled pizza was a delicacy born in Rhode Island. We're such a resourceful bunch, ain't we? We're also very territorial, as there are a handful of establishments fighting for ultimate O.G. status, and Bob & Timmy's one of them. I've had them all, and Bob & Timmy's is certainly my favorite when it comes to balancing quality with affordability. Their menu is great - they offer grilled AND oven-baked pizza in case you are catering to a less-adventurous crowd, their salads are fresh, and their pasta is a simple mix and match selection so one can design their own dish. Sure, you may dabble in the other menu offerings, but please spend most of your palate's attention on the grilled pizza. The shell itself is a wonder of nature - crispy and fluffy at the same time with a yummingly faint hint of a wood fire. It may be worth it, especially if you are getting take-out, to request that your pizza is medium-well done in order to avoid the chewy texture or underdone crust that has been mentioned in other reviews. Their vodka sauce...I certainly hope that they make it from scratch in their kitchen - because it is SO GOOD. My go-to menu item is their grilled pizza topped with vodka sauce, a trio of wild mushrooms, Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Take a look at their specialty pizza list before ordering - their creative combinations are too good to pass up. The restaurant itself is without pomp and exists in a nice contrasting harmony with other places on the Hill. There is a hominess to the dining room that I find relaxing and comfortable, and the tiny bar is the perfect place to enjoy an ice-cold draft when you pick up your order to go.

Pretty darn good pizza! I didn't know the place existed until I saw it on Food Network!

I don't eat as much pizza as my better half, but I always make sure to take her to the better known pizza joints in any city. Here, I had to try a few slices because it looked unbelievable and tasted that way as well. We went with the spinach and mushroom pizza and a side salad which was huge! The service at the bar was mildly attentive, but they were extremely busy when we walked in, so I can understand why. It got a bit better as the night progressed and the crowds died down. This is one of the better pies I have tasted anywhere, and that's saying a lot considering I don't do pizza all that much; sacrilegious, I know. The place seems like a good neighborhood spot, a staple that will continue with it's popularity and exceptional product.

Before leaving on a road trip up north, I told my friend one of my requirements was that we visit Bob and Timmy's. I'd seen its pizza ranked #5 in GQ's list of the nation's best pizzas, and I was very excited to try it out. So after spending the afternoon seeing the charming city, we found Bob and Timmy's hidden away on a back street of Providence's hopping restaurant district. We each ordered a pizza (they only come in one size), even though one 14 incher probably would have fed both of us (but we're guys, and we don't want to do that). Fortunately they let you do half and half toppings, so I got the veggie and the grilled chicken. Both sides were delicious--the crust was thin like pita bread, yet nicely-charred and chewy. The toppings were all fresh and flavorful. My friend got an oven pizza (standard crust), which he very nearly ate all of. I saved half of mine for breakfast, which was definitely a good decision.

Heard about this place from a friend. I'm so glad I listened to him this place is amazing. The best thin crust pizza I've ever had. The pizza was flavourful and crispy. Place is small and a bit hard to find but it was worth every penny. If you're ever in providence Bob and Timmy's Grilled Pizza is the place to be.

Ning T.

This was probably the first grilled pizza I've ever had, we were debating what to get, I think our first try we ordered 2 pizzas but 1 was so good that's the only one we order now and can remember the name! The Trio of Wild Mushroom Pizza, it has no red sauce, but omg is it good! We've only done takeouts here and never sat in. The pizza has always been phenomenal! We've tried the calamari but because we take it to go I guess I can't really rate it since it would sog up before I get home, but the pizza is still great. I can't imagine how I'd be sitting in to eat in the place!

Anette F.

Great great great pizza! Good beer selection and not pricey. Although I got a veggie selection, yes I know veggie selection, it was like an explosion of greatness in my mouth and I cannot wait until I go back for more. They accept cards and they do serve beer. They also have a patio for those who like the outdoor feel. Yum!

After a harrowing experience at Caserta Pizza (we left because the owner bullied us in the parking lot), we decided to take our business to Bob & Timmy's down the road. We ordered a caesar salad and two cheese pizzas. The food was delicious, the service was top notch and the decor was cozy and inviting. The night started with a very bad experience and ended on a high note. We brought most of the second pie home (because they were much larger than we anticipated)...I am thinking it'll be great for breakfast. Thanks!

New York's best pizzerias come attached with the names Grimaldi, Lombardi, and Luzzo. In Providence, it's Bob & Timmy's. On name alone, the place does not provide confidence to those looking for what GQ's Alan Richman called the #5 pizza in the nation. A couple friends and I were in Providence for one night and sought out one of the local specialties, grilled pizza, and decided upon the inauspiciously named B & T's. What we got was a revelation: pizza that we were still reminiscing about weeks later. I am not going to compare it to any neapolitan-style New York pizzas because the two are fundamentally different. First, B&T's pizza is not made in a coal or wood-fired oven. Instead the rolled-out dough is placed on a grill which leads to a totally different-tasting crust that was thin yet amazingly chewy, more like a flatbread or pita than what I would consider a traditional NY pizza crust. The kiss from the grill gave the crust a smokiness and char that I had never tasted from a pizza before. Second, the pizza isn't cut into slices but is cut more like a checkerboard, leading initially to a frenzy for the middle pieces. As we slowly made our way from the middle to the outside, we realized that more crust on this pizza was actually a good thing. Finally, the spinach and mushroom pizza with feta cheese was phenomenal. Yes, I know this is not a "difference" between RI and NY pies but the memory of that pizza has distracted me from listing out the other nuances. The mushrooms were sauteed, the spinach barely cooked and still not wilted, and the feta cheese provided the bite and creaminess that connected everything with the chewy, smokey crust harmoniously. Rounded out with good local beers, this was a memorable meal.

My first time having grilled pizza! I saw Bob & Timmy's on MvF and wanted to try it! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza grilled, and it is delicious! The chicken is in abundance and has a nice spicy buffalo sauce. I can't wait to try other pizzas! The service was great, I was greeted right away, and didn't have to wait very long for the pizza to be cooked! They also had ginger beer, my favourite!!

I went back again on Friday, and we sat at the bar. The bartender was efficient and helpful. We got an order of garlic bread... served with their thin crust pizza dough. Next we shared a Gorgonzola salad --- with an amazing homemade balsamic vinaigrette-honey mustard dressing. Wow. My two favorites in one. We also shared a 1/2 spinach and mushroom (what they are known for) and 1/2 four cheese and vodka would sauce pizza (who who have thunk it?). It was Excellent. The only thing that could have been better was it was not piping hot.

Thin, thin, thin crust pizza. Crispily fried eggplant. Sauce with a little zest. Smells good as soon as you walk in. Would certainly go again.

Seth S.

Great thin-crust, wood-grilled pizza. I'd especially recommend the Margarita- with prosciutto, basil, cheeses, tomatoes- yum! As other reviewers said, you need to eat a few more slices here than at other places to feel satisfied (but that's because it's thin crust)! All-in-all GREAT pizza that I'd highly recommend!
(5)
Caroline C.

I don't get the positive reviews here . . . the pizza . . . not so delicious. The ingredients were fresh, yes, but soggy and not flavorful. And I love pizza, even bad pizza. How can you make pizza mediocre? Bob and Timmy can. Moreover, wasn't so impressed with the management. We were coming through town and thought it would be helpful to call ahead an order (we actually were intending to go somewhere else, but called the wrong establishment). When we arrived, however, we weren't allowed to actually sit at any tables, and had to take the pizza and go. This is confusing - there were at least 15 tables open. We hadn't intended to order take out, just called ahead - but alas, we were told we had to leave (take out orders aren't permitted to eat here!) - forcing us to eat our pizza in the park, in the dark, next door. I'm not from the area, but wasn't digging the vibe in the dark park. Watching others eat their pizza from afar. Note to management - calling ahead actually makes tables turn over faster (and/or this 'rule' could have been better explained on the phone) . . not that that would have been an issue that night.

I don't think pizza gets better than this, and if it does then do me a favor and don't tell me about it. I'm already verging on pawning my valuables so that I can expand my Bob and Timmy's budget. One of my favorite aspects of the B&T pie is that it feels virtuous, even if you eat the better part of a whole pizza by yourself. The toppings are applied with a light hand and the crust is like a delicious flatbread; if those Dunkin' Donut ads are anything to go on, flat bread is what skinny people eat. I've sampled several of their pies, but my favorite is hands down the Pizza I: gorgonzola, parmesean, romano, red sauce and parsley. YUM. Sometimes when I crave pizza, what I want is oozing cheese that pulls away from the slice in a thick gooey thread. This is not that kind of pizza. If I want ooey, gooey decadent slices, I go around the corner to Cecilia's on Atwells Ave. I can't vouch for this myself, but I think B&T would be a great first date locale. In fact, I was once seated beside a pair of first daters who blathered on nervously about everything from company cars to the impending apocalypse. The date seemed to be a doozy, but I'm sure both parties would have given the food and the ambiance a solid 5 stars. Like the perfect date, the vibe at B&T is classy without being stuffy. The food itself is unique enough to be a conversation starter and you don't feel like a glutton even after you've gone to town. I love this place!

If you're in the neighborhood you owe it to yourself to try this place. Really good pizza, with fresh, plentiful toppings. My Chicago-born wife absolutely loved the thin crust. Good service, good drink selection, and reasonably priced. We sat outside on a balmy night with some old college friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Bonus: lots of metered parking on the street and one block away from Atwells Ave.

We came here based on recommendations from a friend and we're not disappointed. We visited for lunch and were able to sit outside on the patio. There is plenty of seating on the patio and comfortable. Outside music playing and bonus, you get to people watch while you relax! Anne and I ordered an arugula salad with grilled vegetables with the house dressing. The salad was fresh and tasty...very good with the grilled veggies and house balsamic dressing. We ordered the margarita pizza wood fired...it was delicious! The cheese was still melting when the pizza arrived. It was very good and a great choice for lunch. They have several beers on tap, Anne enjoyed a 21st century American ale beer and I had my usual Sam Adams summer ale. This a great place to visit and enjoy pizza and beer!

Talk about hype. This place is listed as one of the 25 best pizzas in the world. I'm sorry, I just don't see it. I've had oven fired pizza before, and this is just ok. It certainly didn't blow my mind or anything like that. Fresh ingredients

Anne C.

Great recommendation from a friend if mine. Who knew Providence has some awesome grilled pizza and even in Federal Hill it was reasonable and delicious. Started with an arugula salad with the addition of grilled vegetables (which they were nice enough to add) and added a nice comexity and crunch. And can we talk about the house made vinegtrtte... Definately not oil based, more of an aeloi, but tasty to dip my salad in. For the pizza I split a margarita pie that they serve with prosciutto. Game changer!!! Really.. Take fresh mozzarella and add the salty prosciutto and you have yourself a winner. I might add this topping to all my pizza in the future. The crust was chewy without being tough and had a great taste to it. Topping to crust ratio was also spot on. In addition they also have some crazy pizza combos (lasagna and macaroni and cheese) but. I am sure they would be just as good as what I had for lunch.

PROVIDENCE: (SMITHFIELD WAY DIFFERENT) Went to B&T about a year ago and really liked it. Went back on Sat. and decided this is my favorite pizza place. Well worth the hour drive from Natick ! Cheeses pizza was Amazing as well as the fruit desert pizza !! Going to try the other B&T in Smithfield next weekend. Very friendly staff/waitresses. Enjoyable experience and very reasonable prices !!

Painful all around. Saturday night @ 9. Long wait to be seated. Empty tables & no one to clean them. I had heard great things about this place & even saw several award placards on the wall for Best of RI so we decided to stay & see if the food was worth the wait. The service totally stunk! We were tossed out silverware with no napkins. The nice people at the table next to us gave us their wrapped ware. The food was just as terrible. Both the appetizer and the grilled pizza. Obviously short handed and a terrible virgin experience.

I adore Bob and Timmy's. Somehow I only ever come here with a group of 10 or so - they are always very accommodating of our giant demanding group, and it's great for us because we get to try several grilled pizzas! My all time favorite is the lasagna pizza because I love mozz and ricotta. It comes with spinach too, so it's practically healthy. I bullied all my friends into trying it and demanded them to agree with me that it is delicious. They also loved the BBQ chicken pizza (personally I thought there was too much BBQ sauce, but that's a silly complaint - like saying an ice cream cone has too much ice cream in it...), the sausage pizza, and the mushroom spinach pizza (sans some of the feta - there was an incredibly generous amount on there!). Basically, everyone liked something different so I think there's a pie for everyone! One time we also shared the salmon penne pasta which was delicious as well. But if you're there, I highly suggest going for the grilled pizzas! I would love to try the four cheese one next. ALSO they carry the grapefruit heffenrefferweiser? I can't pronounce or spell it, but it's the grapefruit beer and it is to die for. Tastes like fruit punch, but with a pleasant fizz. One of my friends who recently sampled 40+ beers at a beer festival said this was his fave, and I can see why! Anyway, I digress...go to Bob and Timmy's for the grilled (LASAGNA!) pizza and wash it all down with some amazing grapefruit beer (I don't know anywhere else you can get either of these together!). Cheers to summer!!

Not bad for a place that you would miss if you blinked when you drive by. Parking isn't the best but that's Providence for ya. The BBQ chicken pizza was great and their dough is really really good. We also ordered a bruschetta appetizer that was just mediocre.. A little too much garlic and slightly soggy. Wouldn't order it again. Someone at our table had a wrap as well that was delicious and came with some of the best fries I've had in awhile. I'd definitely come back here. Service was a little slow but the place was packed on a Monday night.. Must mean they're doing something right.

I've had the pink vodka sauce pasta and the grilled pizza. Both were superb! This is a great place to bring a date. Its location makes it kind of a hidden gem since it is on a side street. Great variety.

I don't say something like this lightly --- this is the best pizza I have ever had, anywhere. Just delicious. Since having it for the first time back in March I've traveled down from Boston a few times for the sole purpose of having the pizza. All the pizzas I've had there have been great but I think I'm partial to the buffalo chicken pizza. The crust really is so flavorful and the grilled-ness(?) adds a perfect little bit of char. I really can't say enough about how much I enjoy it.

Though the noise level during my most recent visit was a bit louder than usual, I believe this is some of the best pizza in the state. Always topped with fresh ingredients, the crust is what gets me every time. Recently, I devoured the grilled chicken pizza with roasted red peppers and gorgonzola cheese. Besides, who still offers glasses of wine for less than $6? B&T does. I'll be back.

This was our third visit to Bob and Timmys. We like to go there when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy their outside patio. For some reason, the pizza was not as good this time. I took a chance and tried the Margarita after reading some of the reviews. I didnt realize they dont put sauce on it so I found it to be dry. Also, the crust was a bit thinner than usual and more like a pitabread consistency. It could have used some more proscutto as well instead of the dusting that was on it. My companion got the usual everything pizza and was not happy because all the toppings kept falling off as he was eating it. We probably wont be back again for a while. I can make a better grilled pizza at home for half the price.

Hi I travel all the time and use Yelp to direct me. Always spot on. I am certain Bob & Timmy's has excellent food but maybe the owners can't figure out why Sunday's are poor? I know why. Service staff unhappy and cranky. Did not even bother to get to a dinner order so I do not know how the food tastes. Walked out bad attitudes and service. Bummer!

Barry L.

Hello....well, I read 6 or more reviews, and seems it's all over the place. We always enjoy the things we have here, ya need to be hungry, because they load anything you get...almost to a fault, I.e. If you order pepperoni pizza, be sure you REALLY LIKE pepperoni!!! I ordered the clam chowder for first time today, and the lobster bisque, awesome!! The pizzas and the pasta dishes are really best here, very fresh. As far as other reviewers, remember, reviews shouldn't reflect your personal tastes, or personal preferences.....but on quality, preparation, cooked as ordered, presentation, service.....things of this nature. People like their food in various ways, but we can all agree on freshness, quality of ingredients, temp of food, etc I do recommend bob and timmys , the quality of food at a good price, despite their sometimes poor service....I think the front of house needs monitoring!

Jack C.

I wish my experience matched the reputation Yelp seems to connote. While I enjoyed the outdoor dining, the pizza was pretty bad. The "great white" seemed to boast one stiff layer of a single cheese, no variations in flavor or texture. I had clams on the other half, which were cold and firm. I feel like the pizza was sitting around for too long before coming to the table (truthfully, we did have to wait quite a while to be served). The mushroom trio lacked salt, and thus it was very bland. That was easily remedied, but a mushroom pizza should be seasoned appropriately (i.e., sufficient salt).

Gigi G.

I am from Chicago... and we have some awesome pizza!!! So I am a snob... But I was watching Man vs Food, and they had this restaurant showcased.... So I was intrigued and made sure we visited this place... First impression -- meh... We had 3 wait staff, tell us different info about wait time... the first one said... oh, we have a 40minute wait.. the next one said... about 10-15 minutes, and the third one said... give me a few minutes to arrange a table.... Thank God we waited :) The restaurant is really tiny.... We preferred the outdoor seating but it was packed. But we were just grateful that we got seated... We ordered 4 pizzas -- they are known for the Spinach mushroom pizza -- so we had to get that one.... we also ordered steak and cheese, sausage supreme and Margarita Pizza... o My favorite is -- Margarita Pizza, then Steak & Cheese, then tie for Spinach & Mushroom and Sausage Supreme... The Spinach & Mushroom had waaaay too much Feta cheese... But damn...$12-14 per pizza???? That is so cheap... I mean, this has serious fresh ingredients... and pizza is good for 2-3 people... I know... my BF and I are used to $27-$30 Chicago pizza, so this is crazy cheap to us... But yeah... pizza is awesome!!!! I want moooooore.... Beware coming here during peak hours... line outside is loooooong. We went here around 5pm last Sunday July 6th... and we were lucky to get a table in 10minutes... afterwards, the line outside was just nuts.... Will definitely visit this place again, next time we are back to Providence...

Want a real neighborhood restaurant? This is the place. Casual and blue collar-like but the food is not your average fare. Basically, it's a small pizza place nothing fancy at all. Seats maybe 30-40 inside but there are another 6-8 tables outside. There's a small bar tucked away by the kitchen. It probably seats 6 or so. It's pretty tight. I haven't eaten the pizza. I'm too enamored with the ziti and wild mushroom sauce to order anything else. But, I have stolen some of my girlfriend's pasta with pink vodka sauce and that was great too. Skip the gorgonzola version. It's better more simply made.

Wendy G.

OMG this is among the best pizza I've ever had... Thin crust with fresh ingredients. We tried the all veggie and the all meat ones. (two extremes, haha i know) Service was nice; the outdoor seating was fantastic. All in all, everything was perfect. I totally recommend this place if you visit Providence.

Bruce B.

At the recommendation of a local we went to Bob & Timmy's. This was our first visit to Providence and we had high expectations. When our pizza came out cut in squares I was afraid we had blundered. But, the pizza was good and eating outside was pleasant.. It was not the pizza of my youth eaten in NYC but it was better than most of what I've encountered in New England. We are still searching for "real pizza" and will continue the search on Federal Hill when we come back.
(3)
Emmy M.

I'll go ahead and say it: in a city with an already astounding number of places to get top notch pizza, Bob and Timmy's takes first place. The buttery, almost cracker-y crust, freshness of the toppings, and reasonable prices just can't be beat. We often order on the phone and go pick it up - our favorites include the sausage supreme and the four cheese with the vodka sauce, but all the other flavors are superb as well, especially their mushrooms. Eating in is fine too, although the interior ain't fancy. But it doesn't matter because the pizza is simply the best in Providence!

Jeannette V.

I love this place! Everything about it is amazing! Affordable and great... The pizza's are perfect and I love how you can perfect it to your own taste and put exactly what you want in it... The sangria is also delicious and I reccomend just getting the pitcher for 24 bucks you can get like 6-9 cups out of it!! No lie. I wish this place had more tables tho on fridays and saturdays it gets super packed and there is not many tables!

Mitch K.

I always wanted to eat here, so after participating in an informational picket at a local hospital for my wife (I got to wave a flag around, yay!) we decided to try B&T's. All in all, a very nice meal. The fried green bean appetizer was a delicious surprise and the margherita pizza (with prosciutto) was excellent but I would have liked it to have prosciutto slices rather than small square pieces (mild quibble). I'd stay away from the white sangria though as the white version was basically a glass of rose-tasting white wine with an orange and a lime on the rim. Not very sangria-like. We were there at 7pm on a Tuesday and found plenty of free parking just down the hill at a metered spot (they turn off at 6pm). Try parking there first. I want to mention again that I got to wave a flag around, whee!

Shar A.

I am really upset that I have to write this review because I liked this place a lot, but it is necessary to alert the community. I recently ordered a #3 pizza here for pick up. As soon as we returned home and started eating, my husband bit down on several small rocks. We immediately called the restaurant to alert them. The lady on the phone said she could give us a credit and took down my name and number and assured me the manager would call me that evening to discuss the matter. She kept saying she could credit me and that maybe its charcoal from the oven. It was definitely not charcoal and I don't want a credit for $10. I want the restaurant to know that there were ROCKS in their pizza. So I kept telling the lady that I could bring the pizza back so she could see what was in the pizza. She just kept saying, "no, i believe you". My offer to return the pizza was not about me trying to prove there are rocks in the pizza, but, I mean, aren't you curious WHAT is in your pizza??? I have yet to receive a phone call from management. This restaurant doesn't seem to care to know what is IN their pizza or HOW it got there to remedy the situation for the future. So, be careful, there may be rocks in your pizza!

We grab pizzas and salads Bob & Timmy's for just about every work function and their pies are always on point! I'm a huge fan of the BBQ chicken, which comes with three different cheeses (Romano, smoked gouda, and Parmesan) and sautÃ©ed onions. The spinach and mushroom is also delicious. The specialty, wood-grilled pizzas are definitely where it's at - the crust is perfect, with a dusting of flour and just a hint of smokiness. I usually stay away from the traditional oven pizzas, as they have a little too much sauce for my liking. The pasta here is also delicious. Last time I was here I got the Hill Special (grilled chicken, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes in a smoked gouda cream sauce). At $15, I initially found the price to be a little steep for the casual ambience of the restaurant, but portion turned out to be massive and turned into two more meals. Although I don't usually eat in, I have to say that the staff are incredibly friendly. The bartenders will chat with you while you're waiting for an order, which always makes the wait time (usually anywhere from 15-20 minutes) pass a little more quickly. The only thing that could may you up about Bob & Timmy's is the street parking, which gets really sparse from Thursday until Sunday, although that goes for many places on Federal Hill.

Best pizza of my life, excluding pizza in Naples, Italy. The service is super friendly but not over baring. When the weather allows, there is outdoor seating. Despite being on Federal Hill, this place avoids the crowds so the outdoor seating is relaxing and even a bit romantic. Now, back to the pizza, AMAZING. Wood fired tastiness loaded piled high with super fresh ingredients. There is no place in Providence that compares.

Absolutely delicious thin-crust grilled pizza. It's really small inside. We went on a Sunday for lunch and snagged the last available table. It took a long time for someone to acknowledge us. Once we were seated, we weren't given menus. When the waitress came back with our drinks and asked if we were ready to order we had to point out we still hadn't gotten menus. Service was definitely a bit off. We started out with an arugula salad. It appeared to be a massive pile of arugula, topped with a lot of parmesan and with a few tomato wedges. Once we dug in we found out there was a lot of romaine under the arugula. We decided to order two pizzas so we would have leftovers. We went with the grilled chicken and the sausage supreme with ricotta added. All of the hype about these pizzas? All true. They were fantastic. I wish I lived closer, but it is probably better for my waistline that I don't.

Delicious crispy pizza and polite, efficient service. Fresh, flavourful tomatoes. Reasonably priced. Mushroom pizza, house salad and special eggplant fries all recommended.

Good place to eat for pizza. Only thing we not happy about standing waiting almost one hour. But the food we love it. We will come back but go to north Smithfield.

Where have you been all my life? I just discovered the most perfect buffalo chicken pizza here. It's what dreams are made of. It has the perfect chicken, buffalo, blue cheese, sauce, crust ratio. It's perfectly grilled with fresh toppings. The pepperoni pizza is also very good. We were seated and served very quickly as well. Overall a great place for a pie!

I've gotten take out from here before bit went back because of the RI Food Fights pizza deal. We got a 14' BBQ chicken pizza and it was delicious. I think you have to like buffalo sauce because the BBQ was spicy and had some heat. Not a lot of cheese (Gouda) could have used some more. Overall good stuff and I'll go back!

"Awful Experience" This will be simple review. Went in to try the vaunted BBQ chicken grilled pizza. Got served a pizza with what felt like 10 pounds of raw onions on it. Too much sauce and all of the toppings fell off. Barely any chicken. Needless to say, went to grilled pizza place and ordered a grilled pizza. One of the house specials and it was awful. Go to Caserta's. Thanks

This is one of my favorite pizza places in Providence. They have excellent grilled pizza, on the thin side, the way I like it. They offer an ample menu of many specialty pizzas, many toppings, sauces, etc. I am partial to the ones that have less....like cheese, four cheeses, or just 2-3 toppings max.. I find the more toppings, the less epicurious is for my taste....LOL... Check out their Pizzas 1, 2 or 3. You know what I mean when you read the menu. In addition, they serve nice sandwiches, pasta, salads and dessert....but the place is definitely known for their PIZZAS !!! Try it out...It is a great place...They have a nice patio during the warm months...unfortunately, they don't take reservations...

This place had been on our "want to try" list for a while and we finally made it over there last week. It was a weeknight so parking was fairly easy. For a weeknight it was pretty busy in this little restaurant. We settled in with a pitcher of 'Gansett and ordered one of the special salads and pizza. The salad was an antipasto, it was your standard salad with meats and cheese on top, but bonus points for the crazy amount of banana peppers on the salad. The pizza was pink vodka sauce with olives, peppers, spinach, and a ridiculous amount of delicious feta!! They do not skimp on the toppings here! But the grilled pizza crust was not sturdy enough to handle all those toppings and the crust did not have the "grilled" taste that I had loved from other grilled pizzas I've had before. I think if we go back we will order a more simple pizza with less toppings.

This place has really good food everything always seems to be extremely fresh. Last night my wife and I went there for dinner. We had ghe nachos with fresh motzerala and fresh tomato I was good could use another flavor cheese also.she ordered a salad excellent homemade dressing. Than we split a grilled pizza also excellent

This place is amazing I been here about 10 times and pizza is AMAZING, I was kind of unsure of grilled pizza but it is fantastic every type I had was great. Calzones are great too also the wraps are good with super fresh ingredients. I love this place. Staff is super friendly as well

Donny T.

I agree with a lot of the other reviewers about the mediocre service. It seemed like a bit of an inconvenience to the hostess to seat our small party at the outside patio. Poor service aside - the pizza was really good. We made a custom pizza with pepperoni, bacon and green peppers. The ingredients all appeared fresh. I really enjoyed the sauce - just the right amount of tang.

For those of you who read my "Worst Pizza Ever" review of Federal Hill Pizza in Warren, this is the antithesis! I don't know how they do it but every pizza at Bob & Timmy's is perfection. Our favorites are the lasagna pizza and the eggplant pizza. You will not be disappointed.

Have you ever had a grilled pizza? Nestled in Providence, Rhode Island is the famous grilled pizza place, Bob & Timmy's. Grilling a pizza is definitely a unique way of preparing it. They start by soaking the dough in olive oil and then begin grilling it before adding any toppings. Your tastes buds can immediately tell that it was grilled by the smoky flavor of the crust - which is no thicker than pita bread. Their grilled pizza has made Bob & Timmy's popular enough to support two restaurants in the Rhode Island, and I dined at the Federal Hill location. I enjoyed being able to eat on the outside patio there, and I believe the one in North Smithfield has a similar option. My pizza was their Great White, but I think I would have been better served to order one with traditional red sauce. I did, however, enjoy the nice gooey cheese on it. Overall, I liked Bob & Timmy's, but I don't think I am as big of a fan of the charcoal-grilled crust as some others may be.

Decided to try something new and stumbled upon this place right on the back edge of Federal hill which is great!!!! Away from the busy area! Super small place but the pizza I had just a simple pepperoni nd bacon grilled with me and my fanicee it was soooo goood first time trying a grilled pizza and I loved it definitely recommend this place if your looking for good pizza place with nice prices. :)

Damn good grilled pizzas. Stopped here heading home from the Cape and was not disappointed. Staff were great and pizza, which has been featured on TV, was spot on. Highly recommend. Was nice to sit outside on a cool Summer's night too.

Yana R.

I went here a few times, and at first I liked it, but my enthusiasm quickly waned by the third or fourth visit. The dough is frequently not browned enough, looking kind of pale. Because the dough cooks very quickly on the grill, the toppings often didn't seem as cooked through as I would like. There are better pizza places out there.

wow, yelpers totally let me down on this one this is probably the WORST pizza and calzone i have ever consumed in my life. i got their famous 'wood grilled' pizza. the toppings were falling off the pie. as in all the toppings. there was a giant mound of toppings in the box. obviously not enough cheese. also, the pizza was soggy. yucky. i hate soggy pizza! it was so gross i pretty much threw it in the trash. i had high hopes for the calzone, that also was soggy and the inner contents were literally coming through the crust. how this place has managed to stay open for so long in federal hill is completely mind boggling to me.. go to casertas, fellinis, twins , tommys, all are MUCH better pies IMHO

John D.

I've been there multiple times and the pizza is always good. Enjoy the bbq chicken, but the buf chicken, sausage and eggplant are all good options. I haven't had it (because I do not like mushrooms) but people I have went with enjoyed the spinach and mushrooms, as well.

Wonderful hole-in-the wall kinda place. No wonder why RI's grilled pizza got 2nd in the country! The place can likely hold about 20 people, but the food is absolutely phenomenal and really reasonably priced. It's hard to recommend a particular kind of pizza, but we had the wild mushroom, grilled classic, and pizza special #1 (veggie + goat cheese) and the everything pizza. My favorite was definitely the special #1, but I had a bite of all the other pizzas and they were delicious. There was so much topping piled on the pizza that everything just fell from the plates as soon as you tried to rip apart the pizzas. It was awesome! My only concern is that the pizzas take a long time to make and the pepperoni was a little too salty. And to be honest, I couldn't taste the grilled crust, but hey, it was good! Food: 5 stars Service: 3 stars Price: 5 stars

So while in Providence visiting a buddy, he said we have to check out Bob and Timmy's. I myself have just begun grilling pizzas in my back yard so when I saw this place had grilled pizzas I was excited. We went for lunch on a Sunday and sat outside on a gorgeous day. They had some good local brews by Harpoon so I stuck with the UFO. When in Rome??? The pizza menu itself is tough to get through because everything looks so damn good! We finally decided to go with Half Great White w/ clams (menu says optional for the clams, but if you don't do it, you are a fool!) and half 4 cheese with vodka sauce. By the way the service here is fantastic. Never did my beer go empty without an offer of a new beer! The pizza did not take very long to come out and when it arrived the smell of goodness punches you in the face. I started with the clam pizza...I am glad I did. This pizza did not lack flavor OR clams for that matter. It was delicious. Then I moved to the four cheese and vodka sauce. This pizza was next level ish. As I went tearing through this pizza, I forgot my name it was so good. It was a religious experience! I heard the voice of angels singing!! Oh, wait a minute, we were sitting next to a church that had a service going on, that was ironic and perfectly timed as well. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, that vodka sauce on the pizza was brilliant. Overall this was definitely the best pizza I have ever had. The crust was thin and delicious and all the toppings worked well together. My buddy and I definitely ate the whole thing; there were no leftovers on this trip. But then something happened, we were asked if we wanted to try the desert pizza. Desert pizza? We summoned from the depths of our stomach, room for desert. We willed this to happen. We replied,"Well, sure. Why not?" We went with the mango desert pizza, the small. One piece of advice, the small isn't very small. The amount of fruit on this pizza is ridiculous. Fresh kiwi, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and mango with a cream cheese sauce underneath. It was delicious. We pushed through and devoured the small pie. I was now food drunk. Overall this place is fantastic. I highly recommend coming to this place and eating here. Ignore the ghetto talk, go to Baltimore or Philly if you want to see a real ghetto, this place has charm. You will not be disappointed.

I can eat a whole pizza here all by myself. I'm serious. It's perfect. Fair warning, though, if you're looking for ooey-gooey, piping hot and bubbly cheese you will not find it here. This pizza is thin, crispy yet chewy, and saucy with obvious attention to topping proportions. In other words, it's well covered in toppings but won't fall apart at your first bite. You can taste everything, and everything tastes good. I highly recommend the Lasagna pizza. Try the Mesclun Green salad if you want a taste of the best balsamic vinaigrette of your life. Add the goat cheese, too. It's worth the extra couple bucks. Ambiance is a little off. Service is inconsistent, and the dining area is usually messy (crumbs on the floor, dingy windows). It's also a bit cramped. But, truth be told, I rather like that about this place. There's something about the humble surroundings and casual attention to customers that makes me feel comforted.

Nice place but a very run of the mill pizza spot with a bar. My friend and i came in for a bite before a show we were going to in the area. Our appetizers were fried calamari and a Caesar salad. The fried calamari was good and served with marinara sauce and banana peppers. The Caesar salad had to be sent back; the lettuce was browning, the sauce tasted rancid, and the croutons had zero flavor. The restaurant did take back the salad and did not charge us for it. I found this to be respectable at a minimum, but would have preferred to just be served a good salad. For our main courses we had a plain calzone and ravioli's. Both main dishes were fine but nothing extraordinary. I guess i should have ordered one of their pizzas that got great reviews ... Otherwise we ended up with average to sub par pizzeria food. Maybe their pizza is amazing but I cannot speak to that at all.. I do not recommend this place from my experience. They do have a small seating area and the kitchen sounds like a bodega.

My girlfriend and I went to Bob & Timmy's Grilled Pizzas to experience the famous grilled Rhode Island pizza. We ordered a margherita pizza with prosciutto which was very delicious. The service was good but a bit slow for the crowd that was there at the time. We were able to sit outside for our meal but the flower pot on the fence next to the table kept dropping leaves onto the table and eventually the pizza. We enjoyed the pizza so much we brought the rest home on our 4.5 hour drive journey back to the Philadelphia, PA suburbs. The area around this pizza shop was not the nicest, but the pizza was definitely worth the journey from the hotel and I would recommend this to anybody looking for pizza in Providence, RI.

Disclosure: I ordered a pizza to take-out. So I can't fully comment on the entire dining experience. The pizza was delicious! I got a thin crust pizza that was half veggie...half everything. The half everything was awesome! The crust is flavorful and the perfect amount of doughiness (or maybe a better word is chewiness?). And they don't skimp on the toppings. It really had the perfect amount of topping to dough ratio. And the pizza is cheap compared to other pizza joints. It is a must try I took off a star because the crust could have been crispier...all the toppings made the pizza a little soggy. But maybe it would have been different if I ate in the restaurant.

Michelle T.

Really rates as top 2 of my favorite pizza's of ALL TIME. Yes, the service took forever and EVER (waited over an hour after ordering before our pizza got to our table). Yes the wait was over 30 minutes on a Sunday evening at 7pm for a party of 7. But apart from that, everything was AMAZING. Our table shared 3 large pizza's and 1 order of calamari. The total came out to be about $10 each, and we were all stuffed. My ultimate favorite was probably a pie they don't have on the menu, since I'm pretty sure someone in the kitchen messed up our order. THe pie was supposed to be half wild mushroom, and half grilled classic. Instead, they made most of the pie with a layer of pepperoni, piled HIGH with 3 types of sauteed wild mushrooms. A mish-mash of the 2 pies we ordered (which was intended to be half - and-half). Let me tell you. IT. WAS. AMAZING. The crust itself was not cracker thin, nor did it come close to pan crust thick. It had the perfect amount of crunch without being burnt and it held up REAL well to the piles of toppings heaped upon it. My pizza pet peeves include: - not enough sauce - uneven topping distribution - toppings only pilled in the center with bland, toppingless edges Rest assured, this was NOT the case at Bob and Timmy's. You will get a generous serving of topping in any slice you choose. There was also enough sauce so the crust is nice and moistened. Calamari was lightly battered and friend to crisp chewy perfection. Served with a side of marinara. YUM!! I will DEFINITELY be back. SOON!

Count me among the group of people to which Bob & Timmy's was hyped just a bit too much. We stopped to pickup a spinach and mushroom pie and some fries last night and took it home to eat. WE devoured it, and i enjoyed the experience, but i would not put it near the top 5 of lifetime pizza experiences. It was a good, solid pizza, but nothing earth shattering. Felt like it could have done with a tad less olive oil (some pieces were a bit soggy). Two caveats to this - it wasn't piping hot by the time we consumed it (15 minute drive back - poor planning), and we went with what i would consider a 'non-traditional' pizza - meaning there was no sauce - those flavor profiles are always a bit different. I think i owe it to myself to try a margherita or something of that nature before truly labeling this place as 'average'.

There's a reason that national magazines rates this restaurant as one of the best- it's because it is. There are many restaurants to choose from on Federal Hill, but this is an especial favorite. Firstly, the food is incredibly good. My favorite is a wheat wrap with grilled chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, and pizza sauce. Secondly, it is reasonably priced. You don't go away from the table hungry until the next day. The menu has many tempting items. Owners? If you are reading this, BRING BACK the shaved steak nachos. Those were incredible.

hey, food is great, but if u say ur open til 10 and i i call at 9:45 to order a pizza, and u tell me "the kitchen is closed," that's bullshit!!!!...u say ur open til a certain time, that actually means i should be able to call anytime up until the closing time......if u want to close at 9:45... just make that ur closing time!!!!!

Doro R.

It was ok. I ordered two very different types of pizza. They both had way too much cheese for my liking but were great- maybe even better the next day after having the cheese broiled in a toaster oven. Getting inside to pick up my pizza was tough. There was a thick line of people hanging out in the doorway waiting to be seated so I had to wait for a while before I could push through it.

I love this place. All of their pizzas are so fresh and delicious. I love anything with spinach on it and they give a nice portion. It's a small spot and I wish they were BYOB so be sure you have time to wait. It's also good left over pizza. :)

Margaret G.

Finally got around to trying B&T's the other day and was very satisfied. They have a lot of options on the menu including build your own pizzas and calzones. I was in the mood for good ol' pepperoni and cheese so I ordered a grilled one. Very tasty, the sauce and crust are perfect and the cheese is so ooey gooey delicious. The inside looks like a take out place with limited seating but we had no trouble getting a seat on a Thursday night. Good price for a pie, I will be adding this to my list of go-to pizza spots.

Jamey B.

VERY good pizza, simple choices, and friendly service. The basics here are in place and it shows. The crust is thin and crispy, the sauce is flavorful, and the cheese complements but doesn't overwhelm the toppings. Fresh toppings (excellent sausage) and great service made a great family dinner experience.

Have to say this place is outstanding. Their wood grilled pizza is delectable. Their pasta creations are unique and their salads are huge and plentiful. When I go I usually split a pizza and pasta with my friend and it is super filling. Their Pizza 1,2 or 3 are all great also 4 cheese!! and their pasta Spruce Street Special and The Hill Special Pasta are a go to!!!

Danielle L.

My family and I ate here for dinner after a long day of exploring Providence. We ordered the Spruce Street pasta and a grilled pizza with half margherita and half spinach & mushroom. Both dishes were spectacular--packed with bold flavors and very satisfying. The portions were excellent too. We didn't have a mini fridge at our hotel, so we couldn't take home any leftovers. But the pasta and pizza was just enough for all four of us (my parents and two college daughters). I would definitely recommend the half and half pizza because it gives you a taste of two amazing pizzas. The magherita even has proscuitto--yum! The grilled pizzas are unique, and I think they taste better than traditional pizzas since the crust is thin and crunchy which allows for more focus to go towards the toppings.
(5)
Lauren Y.

Amazing pizza in a neat neighborhood. We had a huge arugula salad with goat cheese (delicious). Glad we got the dressing on the side - balsamic vinaigrette was not great. We had the everything pizza and it was fresh, chewy and crusty at the same time, and heavy on the toppings. More than enough for two of us (we had 1/3 of the pizza left over). Incredible, highly recommend! Great service too.

Caroline M.

Nothing new to add to the mix, but yet another voice to add to the I LOVE BOB AND TIMMY'S chorus. Outdoor seating. Off the main Atwells drag. Excellent food in a casual atmosphere. Stunningly creative pizza toppings. Perfect to share - round pizzas cut into 3x2 squares vs. huge pie slices. Affordable. Generous portions of toppings atop a light but sturdy crust. I eat their pizza, takeout, about twice monthly for an ongoing meeting. The group cycled through several places on The Hill before testing Bob & Timmy's. Love at first taste! And perfect to sample several small pieces of different varieties. I dream about the Margarita and Mushroom and Spinach on the weeks I don't eat it! I didn't have any complaints about service the 1 time I dined in. A Providence gem. One of the only reasons to get me excited about Federal Hill.

Rafael B.

I was walking on Federal Hill and remembered about this place while on my walk. I did not order a pizza because I was by myself felt like that would have been too much. I ordered a wood grilled chicken sandwich. I was the only one here so didn't get to fully experience the business that is associated with the place. It is definitely near Federal Hill but sitting outside felt so relaxing. They did do a good job of being secluded outside. I can hear music which is nice too to help you relax. I Did like my waitress she was nice and had a good sense of humor. The chicken was one of the best I have had.! The vegetables felt very fresh and cut well. I did like the ambience outside too. Next time I come I plan to try a wood grilled pizza. Their pizza menu is pretty big must say.

Sarah V. M.

LIke nothing I've ever had, but something I want to do over and over again. Crust is somewhere between naan bread and a tradition thin crust. Cheese is sooo good and tucked under toppings. I ordered The Grille Classic: wild mushrooms, grilled yellow onions, pepperoni, parmesan and romano cheese - but substituted spinach for the mushrooms and found it pretty much bliss. Have had it for 3 out of my last 4 meals. Didn't like how there was no one in the front of the house when I arrived for pick up. I could see them all playing in the kitchen while I waited for 5-10, and my pizza was given to me tepid. I would have preferred hot, but I can over look this in hopes of a turn around on my next visit.

Rhode Islanders are bad, bad people. I have been here almost three years and I am just now finding out about this place?!?!? What and the heck is wrong with you people? I got sent to Casertas for god sake, have you eaten there? That is a sure fire way to make a foreigner think you have absolutely no taste. Okay, enough of that. On to the Bob & Timmy's. Wow, what a gem. I have to say that grilled pizza is Aaaaaaaamazing. Until now I only knew Chicago, New Haven and New York had there own little twist. Little Rhody never cease to amaze. The only way I have been able to describe the crust is comparing it to a Naan Bread, only bigger and better. Just a touch of crisp on the bottom, soft and chewy in the middle ant top. The ingredients are top of the line fresh. The sauce was not gobbed all over, just enough to add the flavor. I can not wait to get back and try the next one on the menu. So....after reflecting, I guess I can see why it has remained a secret. No need to tourist it all up and ruin it. So I will forgive you all, this time, sort of. Man, what does a person have to do to prove himself around here.

Nancy B.

I am another who really doesn't get the hype....I was excited for good pizza, and ordered the sausage. The sauce was too sweet, the crust kind of soggy and doughy, and the sausage tasted frozen....like what you would get in a frozen dinner :( I was really disappointed :(

Jaclyn P.

Bob & Timmy's was pleasantly surprising. We had the GQ famed Spinach and Mushroom pizza. The crust was perfectly grilled and chewy, the spinach was fresh and there was SO MUCH feta! Paired with a Peroni beer, I was as happy as a pig in sh*t! It's a tiny little place with a tiny little bar and the wait can get long, but it's so worth it. They have an outdoor patio for dining al fresco in the summer. The decor is nothing to write home about and there may have been a few police officers speaking with one of the waitresses about an altercation BUT the pizza is so good you'll forget all that as soon as you take your first bite. Maybe not the best place for a romantic date, but definitely a neat little place to take the in-laws when they are in town and wanting to see how their offspring enjoy life. A major plus is that it's off the beaten (psycho)path of Federal Hill so you can most likely find plenty of parking and a long wait is 20 minutes not 2 hours.

Inexpensive and fabulous. I'm a NY boy and Love ny pizza... this is NOT ny style PiZza. Different but delicious. We started with a calzone... Shared among three. It is huge and was too much for an appetizer. Interesting that in RI the ricotta is Not included with their calzone. Just moERELLA and sauce inside. . WE added the ricotta as an extra and it was great. For pizza we had half buffalo chicken and half lasagna. Crust is thin and crunchy... best I can describe is similar in taste and texture to a thin pita. This is a must go to if in area and want an inexpensive meal.

Kevin M.

I certainly wasn't expecting have a negative review to write on this place, but my expectations were incorrect. I was incredibly excited to come to this place after seeing Man vs. Food as well as reading all the positive reviews. Coming from NYC where you get the best pizza in country, it's pretty easy to judge any pizza you have. Came here and ordered a pizza and found it to be very average. I even slowed down and ate it at a much slower pace to see if I was missing something. Nope, it just wasn't blowing me away. I found the dough to be a little thicker than I'd like, and the cheese and sauce were nothing to write home about. We finished the pizza for the sheer fact that we had not eaten all afternoon in anticipation of this pizza so we were starving. Hurts to have to give this place 2 stars, but it's certainly an accurate reflection in my opinion

C S.

The pizza was very good. Not traditional Neapolitan fold em and flip em. We had the mushroom trio with tomatoes and onion Thin crust. The taste of the grill was very good. All very fresh veggies. It wouldn't take much to class up the place to match the good food. It felt like I was in a take-out place. Sure only 30 people capacity but we started at the bar and after the credit card was passed between my wife and I twice, we had to tell the server to go to the end of the bar to hand the takeout order to the customer. She was getting ready to hand the order between us. We soon moved to a table. I thought $4.50 for a Sam Adams for this place was a bit steep but the pizza was very decently priced. Again, felt like I was in a takeout place.

William E.

Pretty good stuff.....I expected to be more blown away after reading the reviews. To be fair....the place was packed the night we were there....so not being acknowledged for 10-15 minutes when waiting to be seated was more than aggravating. Once seated our waitress was very nice and did what she could to get us some quick drinks and appetizers. The pizza was good....not great...but good. I had a banana pepper & spinach pie which I thought was pretty good....I asked for it well done.....but was too hungry to send it back when it came out regularly cooked. Overall worth a return visit....just not on a Saturday night during a Waterfire event.

In terms of just taste, I'd vote for Bob & Timmy's and Al Forno for the best pizza in Providence. However, when you also account for variety, service and price, Bob & Timmy's has the edge. Flavorful crust with just the right amount of chewiness and smoky wood taste, the only thing I could wish for is delivery service.

A history text book published in 2200 CE will likely contain this excerpt: "In the early 21st century, pizza was a very popular delicacy in the United States. Many restaurateurs attempted to perfect the dish. This led to an arms race. Some decided to put cheese inside the crust, others put macaroni and cheese on their pizza. Meanwhile, in a medium sized college town on the East Coast (now completely underwater), a Providence pizza place called Bob and Timmy's perfected what is called a "grilled pizza." To this day, pizzologists have yet to surpass this pizza."

This is my absolute favorite pizza. I love the extremely thin crust. It is a healthy pizza, which is out of this world. They have the best toppings, grilled chicken, feta cheese, spinach, and sauted onions....I dont' have a favorite, so I order a few of the specialties.

A friend suggested this place for lunch after being shocked I hadn't heard of it and I am so happy she did. We split eggplant fries, a salad and the spinach, mushroom, & feta grilled pizza. Everything was perfection. I keep thinking about the eggplant fries. The salad was fresh & lettuce chopped just right. The pizza tasted fresh and the crust was amazing. Our waitress was very nice also. I will definitely be a return customer.

Great food!! Try the spinach and mushroom pizza. On a side note, whats with the girl I think Chelsea? who always sits in the back on her phone or at the bar. Is she a waitress or a manager? Confusing. Sometimes everyone else seems to be running around like cray cray and she's just chilling. She seems very unhappy and super rude. That puts me off from ever visiting again. Not really a nice atmosphere. No thank you.

I just have to mention that it was kind of amusing when I was in here recently and one of the girls identified me by my yelp review asking if I was the author to which I said yes. It is really great to know that even the waitstaff and bartenders are involved enough to read these reviews.

The best thin crust I have had! A gem on federal hill that is reasonably priced and always high quality. My favorite pizza outside of manhattan. Recommended: the veggie pizza with artichoke!

Love - Love - Love The most delicious thin crust pizza, delish! I'm too in love with the spinach and mushroom explosion thing that I get EVERY TIME but someday I'll venture (or loose the battle of 'what kind of pizza should we get') and will try something new. It's really amazing and I suggest you add it to the regular repertoire. Did I mention that it's thin crust?!?! DELISH!

Their pizzas are indeed legendary! They are thin-crust, gourmet, delicious and are nothing what you have had before. They redefine pizza and I must say Bob & Timmy's is one of the top candidates in PVD! You gotta get down and dirty with their pizzas. Now we're talkin'. One of my all time favorites is the Spinach and Mushroom pizza. I am not a vegetarian but who knew this vegetarian pizza has become one of my regular orders. Besides the main ingredients of FRESH spinach and mushrooms, what really makes the pizza is the garlic. It's so freakin' flavorful and it will make you want more. All the ingredients stay on the pizza with the melted mozzarella cheese (we replaced the feta with it, I know it is a sin but oh well that's how I like it). The down and dirty part is the Sausage Supreme: sweet Italian sausage, mozzarella, pomodoro, red onions, green and red Peppers. I don't know why but the red onions give the pizza the kick and makes it the winner for me. There are A LOT going on so it's truly a party in your stomach and hands. Ingredients might not fully stay on the pizza so be prepared to dig in. I have never dined in so I can't comment on the service. My hubby also ordered some Teriyaki wings there before and they turn out to be very delicious too. They are the very saucy kind and will leave you lickin' your fingers. Now go get some pizza! You will not be disappointed.

Three words: pink vodka sauce. Listen, the crust here is hit or miss. Sometimes it's cooked to perfection, and other times it can be a little too burnt. But you know what makes this pizza always good, 100% of the time? The pink vodka sauce. Add their sautÃ©ed onions + gorgonzola + mozzarella + parmesan + romano cheese and you've got an amazing, unique, delicious pizza. Tip: one pizza is definitely enough for two or even three (if you're not that hungry) people. Also, if you get it to go, just remember to have someone turn on the oven so you can reheat it when you get it home. The thin crust gets cold pretty quickly!

I went to Bob & Timmy's Grilled pizza the other night on a very busy Saturday, I'm guessing the busyness was pretty normal for them. My friends and I got seated pretty quick, we were probably waiting maybe 10 minutes. The restaurant it's self it's very big but I kinda like that about it...you don't feel like just another number. Now the food presentation was just what I was hoping for: lots of topping, very fresh produce and huge portions (finally a place that makes a salad I can't quite finish). My friends got the Veggie Medly Pie, and onion rings. I got the Grilled Vegetable salad. The pizza looked amazing and my friends enjoyed every bit of it....yes I did sneak a few bits of their pizza cause I just couldn't help myself. My Grilled Vegetable salad was delicious; it came with grilled eggplant, zuchini, tomato, onion and bell peppers on a ginormous bed of fresh spinach. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I need to go back for my own pizza, I got my eye on the Trio of Wild Mushrooms. Otherwise Bob & Timmys is doing things right and I am a fan.

Almost a five star place (they lost a star due to service either being awesome or so-so). Anyway! As everyone has already said, this is THE PLACE to go in Rhode Island for some delicious pizza (grilled!). So far everything we ordered here was awesome and the staff are always ready to make accommodations for anything you don't want on the pizza. As a note for pizza lovers/people who really know their pizza: it's considered thin crust. Or at least as thin crust as you can get (although not that thin) and you might not dig this place if you prefer more oomf! in your pizza. We didn't get any drinks so I can't speak to that but overall, it the place that we always come crawling back to.

All Hail the great Bob and Timmy's, the finest grilled pizza in all of Federal Hill and beyond! B+T's, as it is called by locals, was reportedly the pie of choice for disgraced former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. And if that guy knows about one thing besides murder, it's pizza! Bob and Timmy's pizza is a refreshing alternative to Caserta and the other classic pizzerias on the hill.

Bob & Timmy's is located at 32 Spruce Street in Providence, RI. It is nestled in the quaint area known as Federal Hill. With an over abundance of restaurants to choose from it may seem like a difficult decision on where to eat. I can tell you one thing though - if you want friendliness, a cool atmosphere, and GREAT pizza then you want to head to Bob & Timmy's. The big deal about the pizza here is that it is thin crust and grilled on an open wood fire. The result is phenomenal. The crust is thin and upon first sight of the pizza we didn't think we would be able to pick it up without all the toppings falling off. We were wrong. The crust was crispy and held the whole pie together perfectly! One of the pies they are most famous for is the Spinach & Mushroom pie. It consists of sauteed mushrooms, spinach, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan, Romano and Feta cheese. Now, if you are like me, the idea of the Feta throws you off immediately. Having said that - just ignore that there is Feta on it and get this pizza. The combination of the cheese flavors with the spinach & mushrooms bursts in your mouth awakening all of your senses. We also tried the grilled chicken pizza - grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, pomodoro sauce, Parmesan, Romano and Gorgonzola cheeses topped with parsley. Equally as good as the spinach pie, this one really made my mouth happy. I'm a huge fan of pomodoro sauce and this one was fresh and tangy. The combination of cheeses again is an art that Bob & Timmy's has mastered - they know just the right ones to top a pie with that compliment all the ingredients. If you are indecisive (as my husband and I were this night) you can get a pie half & half. Pick two pizzas and they'll make half of each. Does it get better than that? The restaurant serves beer & wine and they have an excellent little patio on the side that is shaded by trees and provides a nice al fresco experience. If you like to people watch while enjoying delicious food then this is the place to sit. The inside was clean but small and it can get crowded by the front door if there is a wait. The servers were friendly and the patrons were too! We ended up chatting with a couple of people we were sitting beside. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. We had a total of four beers, a house salad (that was gigantic), and the half & half pizza and with tip our total came to $50. Plus we went home with some pizza - lunch for the next day! The place packs them in so if you want to go and not have a wait I suggest getting there between 4 & 5. When we left around 7 the line was out the door for a table! Overall this restaurant exceeded my expectations. You can't go wrong when you receive service with a genuine smile and food that jolts your tastebuds back from the dead. We left with a happy belly and a feeling of contentment - nothing wrong with that.

Came in with a friend recently for a four cheese with no red onion and pizza 2. Both are good. Four cheese did not taste like it was attacked with a salt shaker this time, much better

Alex B.

Got the 4-cheese in a pinch at work. Excellent all around with a sublime vodka sauce that was perfectly proportioned with the other toppings. But that's not why I'm writing this review. The true standout here is a crust that is second in my eyes only to those of Sally's/Pepe's. Everything was right; the thickness, the texture, and the wonderful searing from the grill. It really was that good, and it was plenty quick/cheap to boot.

Meh. I suspect they were having an off night, b/c they seemed at least a little understaffed (one person was trailing a server). We ordered nachos and a grilled Number 1 pizza. Salsa on the nachos was tasty, but the cheese wasn't entirely melted. I mean, really not melted, like cold pieces were visible under the melted layer. At first I thought it was b/c of the cold sour cream, but then, well, I think it just didn't spend enough time under the broiler. The pizza was pretty underwhelming too. Seemed like it wasn't rotated properly, since only half was a little gummy, while the other was crispy. The sauce was way too sweet for my taste. The pizza here seems like a decent execution of Midwestern-style cracker crust, which is really not my thing. In Federal HIll, I'll take Caserta or Sicilia's any day. Granted they're not grilled, but they're better. I tacked on an extra star for the outdoor seating. It's fantastic. Nice view of the church and even some trees. Servers were nice too.

This is my favorite pizza in Providence- big pies that are affordable. The crust is perfect, and they neve skimp on the toppings. This is my go to pizza in Providence- I always order out though but they're always accurate with the pick up time and polite.

We are pizza lovers. Found this place to be incredible. From ny on business walked from our hotel, the salad was amazing , we got penne with sauce and fresh ricotta. When pizza came with red onions in vodka sauce truly superb. Is at hidden secret the waitress told us and she was the best waitress we've had in a long time. Go go go
(5)
Stephanie M.

I'm a deep-dish, thick-crust lover, usually, when it comes to my pizza. That I will eat here is a tribute to the incredible things they put on their pizzas. Also, the pasta. Pizza first. They have this mushroom pizza - three types of mushrooms, tomatoes, and if you get it with added sausage, it's the perfect pizza. Perfect, I tell you. They also have dessert pizza(!), including a fruit-tart pizza that is just UNBELIEVABLE. Onwards. The pasta, oh, the pasta. The last time I was here, I had a lobster ravioli that was EXCELLENT - and far less money for far more ravioli than most places on the hill. On average, their pasta dishes serve two generously. They have a wide choice of sauces and toppings, so good for even the most picky of eaters. (No gluten-free, but really? It's a pizza place. They do do an AWESOME dairy-free pie, though.)

Kisha T.

Lasagna. Yum. Pizza. Also yum. But a lasagna pizza? Mind:blown. I've got to say that it is a rare occasion that I crave pizza but when I was introduced to Bob and Timmy's, I was hooked. I've been here a few times and have even ventured out to try they mescalin salad (which has a house-made dressing that is addicting and delicious). The first time around, I tried the lasagna pizza with sausage: AWESOME. Second time around with my BF (who is a huge Clams fan) we tried the Great White pizza which had chopped clams and lots of tasty cheese. This was amazing in its own right. The only thing that I'm not too crazy about is the service here. Sometimes it is timely, other times it sucked. Bad. Is the pizza worth the iffy service? For the most part, yes.

Alan D.

If you are missing New Haven style pizza then don't look for it here. Unfortunately the pizza wasn't worth the price and it lacked flavor. By far, my biggest dissapointment was the crust...just wasn't right. Positive note: The place is very clean and the staff is very attentive. My glass was always full and new plates for each course.
(2)
Rob K.

Very tasty but I can't help but feel a little cheated when I can gobble down an entire 14" grilled pizza (grilled chicken) and still not feel sated. I am anything but one of those competitive eater pigs who eats 3000 hot dogs in 2 minutes and normally only get 2-3 slices of Sicilia's or the average medium crust pizza into the belly without calling it quits. After you add a soda, tax and tip, you're out the door for $20, for pizza for one average eater.

Ted P.

Def not impressed. Maybe cause it's too hyped up. My pizza was undercooked. The cheese barely melted and the pepperoni's not even lukewarm. When leaving they boxed two pizza's in one box, basically just throwing my pizza on top of my girlfriends. Big problem with that is I am allergic to grated cheese (why I ordered mine without) yet it's now all over the bottom of my pizza. So I guess no left overs for me, smhh. I don't know if it was sheer laziness or a cost cutting measure not to just give us two boxes.
(2)
Kathryn L.

I went here last night and the service was genuinely friendly and attentive. I love that the grilled crust is slightly chewy and has that hint of smokey grilled flavor. I am not a fan of crispy cardboard grilled pizza and this place has the exact opposite. I was also impressed with the teriyaki wings, they were huge and the teriakyi sauce was delicious. We ordered the four cheese pizza with the pink vodka sauce and added clams to it. Perfect blend of flavors. The cocktail list is also awesome!! Don't have anything bad to say about my experience. Best pizza around!
(5)
Meelynna L.

We absolutely love their pizza. It's very affordable and the grilled pizza is amazing. if you like thin pizza, this is a must try. We prefer take out vs dining in due to our few experiences eating there weren't the greatest. Slow service when we were there and one time they even forgot about us as we were sitting outside on the patio. I believe they must have hired someone new as well, because when we call to order the girl on the phone is extremely hospitable and friendly! Unfortunately, they forgot to add chicken to a caesar salad we ordered so they gave us a refund over the phone. One tip with the salads...get the dressing on the side so you don't get overwhelmed! All in all, great pizza, chicken tenders and salads!!!

Bob and Timmy's oh boy where do I begin. So on the many great Yelp reviews, my GF and I decide to head out for pizza on a very dreary Saturday night. For some reason it always seems on rainy nights we are heading out for pizza. Again, based on Yelp suggestions, we went with the lasagna pizza. A big thank you has to go out to all the reviewers here because this was one good pizza. My GF made the smart suggestion of putting meat on this pizza. The lasagna at Bob and Timmy's is sans meat, which is odd since that is the one thing I love about lasagna. We elected to put meatball on the pizza and it added such a great foil to the huge amounts ricotta cheese. The pizza was fantastic and I can't wait to try their other pizzas like their Great White Clam pizza. Like other reviews have stated, the inside isn't spectacular. In fact they have only about 7-8 tables, but it appears they are mainly a take out place. I do like their large glass windows but unfortunately the view is not of Federal Hill, it is of the ugly West Side. The side view looking at the church is nice though. With the smaller restaurant, the wait staff is very attentive. Highly recommend Bob and Timmy's for take out and eating in, I would call ahead before heading over if you thinking of eating in just to make sure you aren't looking at a wait.

What hasn't been said!? We got a half half -- four cheese (A MUST) and mushroom spinach. Perfect combo - both had completely different flavors! Great service, delicious food.

Veggie T.

This pizza never disappoints. The hardest part of coming here is deciding what to order. I usually like my pizza crust crispy. It's not the crispiest but the flavors are so good that it doesn't even matter. Other things that are delicious - their calzones, pastas, and definitely get the grilled vegetable salad. It's huge so don't order it thinking it's an appetizer salad. You'll need to share! The decor is nothing special but once you taste the pizza, you won't care about that.
(5)
Nev K.

Quite possibly the best pizza I have ever had The pizzas have the perfect combination of cheese, sauce, and breading. I specially enjoy their four cheese & the spinach and mushrooms. What more can I say other than this is a must-try for anybody who appreciates pizza.
(5)
Stephanie T.

How sappy, but I came here on a first date and it was the perfect spot. Not too big, not too loud, intimate and quaint. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. They have a lot to choose from on their menu. We both ordered calzones and I am so glad we did. They were absolutely delicious and at a good price. They were a pretty large size as well, so you could take some home for later! The only down side to this experience was that our waitress charged us double on our bill and that was a whole big thing to get fixed. It took a while for the money to go back onto the card, but other than that it was a pleasant experience and I recommend it if you're a picky eater (like myself) and are in the area.

Joe C.

Oh boy, this pizza was not what I expected. It could be because I ordered the margarita pizza and not the regular style, but take a look at my first photo to see what I'm talking about. I've never seen a margherita pizza look like that before. Yes, that is prosciutto on it, which comes standard on all their margherita pizzas. At first I thought I accidentally received somebody else's order and thought, "Who ordered the ham pizza?" Call it what you like, but my pizza reminded me more of fococcia bread, only thinner. Overall it was very good, but I wouldn't exactly compare it to regular pizza. It's entirely unique by itself and is certainly one of the more interesting pizza styles I've had in a long time. I was OK with that because I like trying different styles. By the way, check out my second photo. You New Jersey people probably would consider that underside to be burnt, but to a pizza snob and New Haven boy like myself, that's just cooked. However, I must admit, Bobby & Tommy's take blackness to a whole new level.

Nicole R.

My first sample of grilled pizza.... I can see why they'd claim to be legendary. It was pretty awesome! I got the veggie pie and it was great. The Calamari wasn't anything to shake a stick at either. Would definitely head back in a heartbeat!
(4)
Brad S.

As someone who is new to grilled pizza, I would say that despite the char of the grill providing a nice flavor to the underside of the crust, the foccaccia-style crust doesn't provide the much-coveted stability and crispiness that I'm looking for in a crust. With that being said, the spinach and mushroom pie was phenomenally delicious. Mind-blowingly good. But you could create those flavors in a regular pizza oven, too, right? I'm an outsider, so my opinion probably means nothing. The spinach and mushroom pizza, though, will live on in my mind for years to come.
(5)
Annamarie T.

One of the best grilled pizzas!!! I've been here a couple of times, the food is always great and so is the service. I love the grilled pizza here, and the fried calamari is delicious! Quite affordable compared to some of the other places on fed hill, I would def recommend checking this place out.

Liz T.

Bob and Timmy's was good pizza--well made, interesting combos, good service. I think for my personal taste, it's just not my preferred style. The pizzas at Bob and Timmy's are super thin, FLAKY, crisp, lots of sweet sauce, and LOTS of toppings. I think that's the hook here--the toppings really drip off the pizza and there are interesting flavors in the seasoning. Personally, though, I think I like my pizza a little more "balanced," with proportions equal to the individual components making up the pie. For instance, I'm a big fan of John's Pizza in Manhattan, Grimaldi's in Brooklyn, and Lou Malnati's in Chicago. Those would be by top 3 hands down. But the key to their pizza-genius is the way their crust, cheese, sauce, and toppings are distributed in proportion to their constituents. Lou Malnati's is a class DEEP dish, but the egregarious amounts of cheese, sauce, and toppings are perfectly attuned to the thickness of crust. Similarly, we've got NY style pizza at John's and Grimaldi's--one has more sauce, the other more cheese. But both have a thin crust over a large area that can accomodate a slight range in those ingredients. At both places, the toppings aren't overwhelming. I still need to be able to clearly taste the house made sauce. I like Bob and Timmy's and I'll go back anytime. It's just not my favorite slice in the NE.

Lauren L.

I was searching for some good pizza on a Friday night and stumbled across Bob and Timmy's. The Yelp reviews did not lie: this place is awesome!!! Totally loved the veggie pizza (way more than just a few mushrooms and dried peppers). And yes, the lasagna pizza was to die for, especially with the meatballs. On a side note, the service I received was consistently fantastic. The servers were just so pleasant and engaging. I haven't had the pleasure of eating in yet (have taken the pizza home from work three times so far) but I'm sure I'll be even more pleased.

Meaghan K.

Best grilled pizza. Situated of the man drag of the hill sits this tiny pizza place. I've had many kinds of pizza from Bob & Timmy's and they are all good even the simplest is yummie. The service is super friendly and the prices are amazing. Be sure to get a garden salad with your pie as that balsamic dressing is incredible!

You know that mix of pleasure and shame you feel when you discover a delight that you had been haplessly unaware of, somehow hidden from you in your own neighborhood? I felt that today, when, with a mouthful of Bob & Timmy's Legendary Grilled Pizza, I looked at my boyfriend and sputtered, "We've been sleeping on a giant!" Straight up pepperoni grilled pie - so completely satisfying. Addictive, lightly charred crust. Also, Pizza Number 1: simple grilled pie with Romano, Gorgonzola, and Pomodoro sauce. Parm and parsley on top. I had driven past the place at least five times, and could not have told you there was a restaurant there. It just doesn't have much of a street presence. Now I realize it doesn't really need one; it is evident that their reputation was in place long before I started to call Providence "home." They have enjoyed Food Network and Today Show exposure (I'd missed this, too). They are more than just a steady hum in the background of the Providence restaurant scene. If you aren't splattered with red sauce and happy as a clam, you're doing it wrong.

I cannot believe I haven't written a review for Bob & Timmy's yet. You would think that the number of times I have given into my craving for this would prompt me to write a review, but I think I've gotten so lost in my desire for the four cheese pizza that I can't think of anything else. I know, I know. You're thinking: four cheese, really cheese pizza is what you crave? But wait, you haven't heard what's on it. Pink Vodka sauce and caramelized onions with the 4 cheeses: Gorgonzola, Romano, Mozzarella, and Parmesan. Now is your mouth starting to water, right. It better be because mine just started again. Anyway this place is a hole in the wall, maybe 12 tables inside and 4 seats at the bar, but the wood grilled pizza, nice and thin is to die for. I usually get take out, but the times I have stayed the service has been friendly and good - nothing that memorable either way - outside of the pizza of course.

Amelia N.

I talked up Bob & Timmy's to the mister for months before we finally went. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations, and we both left feeling pretty bummed. This was the second Date Night in a row to feature calamari, so I think it might be a Thing We're Doing... fine by me! The pomodoro sauce was good, though I wish there'd been more; the squid was flavorful and well-cooked but just rings, which always makes me feel slightly bummed 'cause I like eating tentacles. I just realized how gross that last bit was. OH WELL. We ordered the Margarita Pizza: Sliced Tomatoes, Prosciutto, Basil, Fresh Mozzarella, Olive Oil and Shredded Parmesan. It was fine, but there was - literally - only the tiniest bit of prosciutto. In fact, I completely forgot there was even supposed to be prosciutto on it - and the mister didn't want to make a fuss, so he didn't say anything about how disappointed he was. I don't know, man. I was really psyched about Bob & Timmy's, I love the grilled crust, I enjoyed the calamari, but the skimpiness of the toppings was a real let-down. Not sure we'll be back.

This is now my favorite pizza on the hill. My boyfriend and I just moved to the area and stumbled across this little gem while walking the neighborhood. The margarita pizza is amazing. And we took a peek at the BBQ chicken pizza next to us and decided we neeeed to try that next. The beer and lq selection was a little weak. Only a few good ones on draft but overall great food and service

I almost don't know where to begin...after being seated, I made it patently clear to our waitress that my 4yo and I wanted a "plain cheese pizza." I even pointed to it on the menu, and said "No, I don't think he'd like gorgonzola. I want a Plain Cheese Pizza." Twenty minutes later, another waitress comes by with a four-cheese pie, covered in onions and who knows what else? I sent it back, which meant we had to wait another 20 minutes for what we'd ordered in the first place. So now we're at 40 minutes, with a hungry, antsy 4yo child. Finally the pizza comes, we eat, we enjoy. Is it one of the top 25 in the country, as advertised? Eh...maybe not. Our waitress apologized, saying it was only her 3rd day on the job, but when you're being backed up by two more slow, inattentive waitresses, that's hardly an excuse. Knowing that I was going to wait in Limbo for one of them to come by to pick up the check I had to go to the register myself, where my $19 bill was ignored and instead charged $91 on someone else's check. Good pizza, 4 stars. Crap service, 1 star. Costly inattention to my bill, 1 star. Average 'em, 2 stars. I won't be back. Update: Examining my receipt, I discovered that they'd also charged me for the more expensive pie. I went back and demanded the manager give me my money back. He did, grudgingly and with enough resistance that the entire restaurant heard my complaint. Am I a jerk? Perhaps. Was I in the right? I think so. GFY, B&T's.

This pizza was by far one of the best I have ever eaten. Not only are the prices reasonable but between five people we still couldn't finish two large pizzas. The outdoor seating has a great location but the indoor seating is a little less appealing. The chairs are a little uncomforatble and the tables could be a little bigger but all and all I had a great experince here. This establishment provides a great atmosphere to just come and enjoy a great meal.

A+ pizza. I have only eaten delivery, so I can only comment on the pizza itself. But for a pizza place, taste comes before everything else anyway. Amazing thin crust grilled to perfection. Fresh tomatoes, spinach mushrooms and other toppings. Just the right amount of red tomato sauce.

I love Bob and Timmy's. I haven't been to Providence in a few years but I used to go every weekend my Aunt lived right across the street from them and every time I went ordered pizza and the buffalo wings. I have to say they really make the wings good. They are spicy and they are never soggy..Great!! that's what I love about wings. The pizza is so thin and its grilled. My aunt used to order one with spinach and Gorgonzola cheese and I never really liked Gorgonzola but on this pizza I loved it. Oh how I wish i was back in Providence, but my aunt moved away.. :(

Terry S.

On my brother's first visit to PVD I ordered from Bob and Timmy's. He didn't seem too excited about the idea of pizza but when he tasted it his eyes popped open wide like a cartoon character. We proceeded to devour the entire pie, he even mentioned that even though he was full, he could not stop eating it because it was so good. Absolutely amazing. There are a few pizza places that stand out, and thusfar this is the standout here in Providence. Get the grilled pizza. Very thin, tasty crust. Their toppings are the freshest toppings I've ever had on any pizza in my entire life. I don't know how it's possible to get this kind of flavor from toppings. Don't miss this place.

OK i saw the review in GQ but it was after I had added it to my list of places I had to check out in Providence .. The article just made me want to go here more. One of the best in the USA? The night we were there was pretty crowded and there were a few small groups in the lobby area (hallway in front of bathroom really) so we put out name in and waited. One group was seated and then a few minutes later we were - maybe a 10 minute wait, not too bad - this place is small (maybe in the summer when you can sit outside its easier to get a seat) .. the people in front of us didn't know about having to put your name on a list and weren't too happy we were seated before them I guess, but I didn't make the rules .. sorry for the mixup. We ordered our pizzas and some fries. The fries were very good (for a pizza place) and worth getting if you like fries with your Italian food. We had the #1 wood grilled pizza (Parmesan, Romano and Gorgonzola Cheese with our Pomodoro Sauce and Parsley) and the vegetable medley wood grilled pizza (Baby Spinach, diced tomatoes, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, crumbled feta cheese, shredded parmesan cheese and olive oil) - both were excellent and unique in their own ways. The crust is thin like a crisp grilled wafer and their sauce was sweet and paste-like but smooth - the toppings were all good quality and overall the pie and the experience at B&T were excellent.. Friendly quick staff, great food, parking over there is a bit less than easy - but if you go early (or late) and avoid prime meal times maybe it won't be so bad (or get it to go..) and the next day the left overs reheated much better than i expected.

First time, here with a friend who ran the marathons. The appetizer calamari was awesome according to the two who ate it. The pepperoncini and sauce really makes it good. We got a spinach and mushroom, half an everything and half a grilled chicken pizza. They were all good. Try are known for the spinach and mushroom, but the runner loved her grilled chicken, and there were tons of toppings on the "everything". One thing I liked was the fact that their sausage is NOT heavy on the fennel. Awesome. Too bad we are leaving tomorrow, we would totally come back and try some of the other things.

Since GQ has always been one of the few publications I consider worth reading, I was ecstatic to see them do an article devoted to the best pizzas in the country. This was not intended to showcase the best pizza places, per se, although that was an obvious result, but the true intent was to name which specific pies were worth the journey to have. Bob & Timmy's, along with Al Forno down the street, both made the list, with B&T's spinach, mushroom and feta grilled pizza coming in at #5 (for the full list see reuters.com/article/presâ€¦ ). I had never had, and only just vaguely heard of, grilled pizza prior to finding out I was coming to Providence for a few weeks. As fate would have it, I got to try both of these places and the specific pizzas mentioned. I know some might think that's not nearly as cool as tasting the top 1 or 2 places, or that the list is pointless because YOUR favorite isn't on there. Well I don't care, for me this was a completely new experience and a new way to eat pizza, so that alone was an eye opening culinary treat, regardless of where they actually rank in the American hierarchy. My waitress, Angel, was new to B&T's but she quickly figured out that a lot of people were splitting pies. I wanted to join the masses and see what all the fuss was about, so I went with a half of the now famous spinach and mushroom, and the other half margherita (note: unlike typical margherita pizzas this one also includes prosciutto). It was a beautiful night, so I sat out on the patio, and despite what people say about this place being somewhat in the ghetto, I thought the church just next to it was a beautiful backdrop. I have to admit, had I ordered just the spinach and mushroom pizza this probably would have been a 5 star review, it really is that damn good ( flickr.com/photos/wedoitâ€¦ ). I don't know what they marinate and/or saute the mushrooms in, but the texture and flavor is near flawless. There is a very generous amount of feta as well, which plays as a wonderful contract to the spinach. I didn't think one taste of pizza was fair enough to review this place though, so I'm glad I split the order up. The margherita half ( flickr.com/photos/wedoitâ€¦ ) I had quite a few issues with, and that is the reason I had to drop the rating here, and I honestly considered dropping it further, but fortunately for B&T the spinach and mushroom was overwhelmingly good enough to pick up the slack. First of all, and most importantly, the quality of the cheese used in the margherita is nowhere near that of the feta in the other pie. The mozzarella is not gooey like you would expect, and the shredded parmesan is somehow nearly flavorless. The tomatoes also don't taste very fresh, and I hate to say store bought, but that's what they resembled. Finally, when I think of prosciutto I automatically start to salivate at the perfect execution of pork and salt, but this was too dry, too bland, and too sparse. The margherita was a 2 or 3 star pizza, but thankfully the spinach and mushroom was so amazing that it more than pulled its weight. So be careful what you order here, and go with what's a proven winner unless you're just up to a challenge.

I can't tell u how freakin good the pizza is here, just the simple Quattro formaggi had my heart. Veggie one was stacked with the vegs and I even got that one to go, impressive

At first blush, people might greet the review of a Rhode Island-based pizza place by someone who lives in Orange County with skepticism. But I have eaten at Bob & Timmy's a few times over the last few years, and it's one of my favorites in the country. Whenever I'm in Rhode Island, I make it a point to eat here. Bob & Timmy's serves an excellent example of grilled pizza. The spinach and mushroom pizza, in fact, is so good that I have never tried anything else. Both the mushrooms and the feta would be the standouts if it were not for the fact that the flatbread crust is perfect.

My second visit to this godawful dive was worst than the first. As always, parking in Providence can be challenging. After a 10 minute walk, I entered the grimy, dark, and noisy establishment. It was the same as my first visit - the patrons seemed to be having a good time, especially the louder drunk ones. I instantly regretted entering, but I was obligated as this was the designated location for a co-worker's going away party. The rave reviews astonish me. Service was terrible, glassware and silverware were dirty, and all the appetizers were cold when they arrived. My "pizza", an overcooked slab of pita bread with indeterminable slop on top, was inedible. The crust was hard and black, and if I ate charcoal briquettes this is what I'd imagine they taste like. I gave this place a single star because negative stars aren't an option. If Bob and Timmy are real people, I want them to know that they killed a piece of my soul.

Pretty impressive little place. Although tonight was 7 degrees outside, the pizza was warm and pretty good. The waitress was proactive and asked is if we wanted the thin crust or traditional. The kids prefer the traditional while the wife and I prefer the thin crust. This was huge as our kids are kinda picky pizza eaters. So we got one cheese traditional and a roni thin and a margarita thin. The margarita was piled with prosciutto and mozzarella and basil. Pretty nice ! The sauce on the roni was excellent. The three kids killed the cheese, so I didn't get to try that. Place is small so I can see how it gets crowded. The parking can be tough and so can negotiating the narrow street, especially in snow. Full bar, which is a bonus as well, since they just mention beer and wine on the menu. Try it out and enjoy !

Good place to try some grilled pizza. Very small inside, be prepared to wait. Also has an outside seating area. Grilled margherita pizza was really good. Good size portion to split with someone. Grilled veggie salad was good as well, including big portion sizes here too. Although I didnt order them, they fries smelled really good and looked like a huge portion. Overall, prices were fairly inexpensive. I would come back here again without a doubt.

Bob & Timmy's was recently featured in GQ which cited their Spinach & Mushroom Grilled Pizza as among the best in the country. In part, this led us there in search of relatively fast, casual meal. We headed over on a Friday evening and somewhat expectedly encountered about a 40 minute wait for a table. For starters, the food itself is excellent. We ordered two grilled pizzas (Margherita and Spinach & Mushroom) to share, and both were really a delight. Their crust is unusually thin, slightly crisp and the toppings were executed in a way that impressed me since that can sometimes be the hard part for places to get - Not too much, not too little, but just right. The pizzas are big enough to feed about three (two if you're starving) and everything is priced very reasonably. My only qualm with the whole place is that they're apparently not prepared for their recent popularity since service was very choppy and the dining room and outdoor seating area had waits for them despite being filled with (I mean 5 or so) empty tables. The waitresses are also the hostesses and they apparently throw the waiting list around to one another, so it's hard to keep track of your wait time and position on the list, but if you're willing to cooperate a little with their somewhat wacky organization (or lack thereof), it is a great place to try something very different. I look forward to returning to try more of their great, super-thin grilled pizzas.

if you love grilled pizzas, this is the place to be! i've had every single grilled pizza on their menu and the ones that stand out have to be spinach and mushroom, trio mushroom pizza, lasagna pizza, BBQ chicken and margarita pizza! i usually half 1/2 and 1/2 which i think is an incredible idea- that way you kill two birds with one stone! sangria is also yum. atmosphere is ok but with great company, you'll be so in love with the pizza, it doesnt matter whether you sit inside or outside!! love this place!!

Not your typical Federal Hill restaurant, but such a fun place. They have a really cute outdoor patio and a really relaxed casual feel. The grilled pizzas are great and the portions on everything is huge-- my mom and I split the arugula salad and the grilled veggie pizza and barely made a dent in the pizza once we started on the enormous salad. Prices are great, the menu is extensive, and because its not actually ON Atwells Ave. it seems to be a little less busy than other restaurants there. Would definitely come back!

So different than the average pizza joint that you normally go to! Bob and Timmy's are very creative with thin crust pizza. A pizza usually cost about $12-16, but it will fill easily 4-5 people. I was glad I took my time away from Sicilia's pizzeria (which is my favorite) to try this place out. The staff was good, but seemed like they didn't really like being there, and you can tell by how they served people with very little interaction with customers. The meatball and spinach pizza was filled with toppings, but with way too much spinach!

Eric S.

Not what it used to be. I'm afraid this is going to be a minority view. Especially since it's a very long term view and most reviewers here probably never knew the old Bob and Timmy's. The old Bob and Timmy's pizza really WAS something special. It may very well have deserved being called one of the top pizzas in the world. The current pizza is decent, even above average, but it's disappointing compared to what it once was. I don't know when this happened. I used to frequent the place in 90's when it was still in the plaza. Then I moved away and was only able to visit the place now and then. For a while it continued to be the great place it was. On my recent visit, the first in a few years, it was clear it is no longer the same place. Their pizza used to be minimalistic. Deceptively simple. The pizza now is overloaded with toppings, and the simple balance of great ingredients it used to have is lost in a big muddle. Some may think I'm crazy for faulting them for being generous. The old pizza really was not going to fill you up the way you might expect from another pizza. It was thin and the toppings were proportional to that thinness. Now it seems like they try to make up for the thinness by piling them on. I wish they would realize that sometimes less is more. A similar philosophy was reflected in the old Bob and Timmy's menu. It was simple, just a handful of salads, a handful of pastas, and maybe a 10-12 pizzas, each of them a well-crafted gem. Now they seem to have lots of typical crap on the menu that every other two bit pizza and sub shop carries. Nachos? Chicken fingers? I'm sorry that's not what you come to Bob and Timmy's for (at least not the old one), you can get that stuff anywhere. Maybe they've had to dumb-down their menu and their pizza to survive. I don't know. All I know is it makes me sad.

A-MA-ZING!! I finally made it here and can't wait to go back. We ordered the BBQ Chicken pizza (the gouda really made it stand out) and the Vegetable Medley pizza (great fresh ingredients). The crust is perfectly thin, but firm enough to withstand the ample toppings. Ambiance is that of a small pub. The only negative was the initial service of getting sat/drinks/ordering was pretty slow...but the pizza made up for it. Waitress was very nice, they just could have used another one.

Aaron M.

Five stars, no question. My friends agree, and we often return to Bob & Timmy's Grilled Pizza for a relaxing, tasty meal. You can eat indoors or out, and the outdoor area is tucked away and hidden from the busy commerce of Atwells Avenue only one block away. I highly recommend the order of a pizza (the kind without tomato sauce on it) accompanied by a side of marinara for dipping. Calzones are the largest I've ever seen, longer than my outstretched man-hands.

Bob & Timmy's definitely has some legendary grilled pizza. I stopped here for lunch one day with a friend after we had seen a review on The Today Show regarding their Spinach & Mushroom pizza. Let me tell you something; it was on The Today Show for a reason. It was effin delish! I couldn't believe how awesome it was; grilled to perfection and ample toppings. They offer a great beer selection and outdoor seating, both a big plus!

Apparently, grilled pizza was a delicacy born in Rhode Island. We're such a resourceful bunch, ain't we? We're also very territorial, as there are a handful of establishments fighting for ultimate O.G. status, and Bob & Timmy's one of them. I've had them all, and Bob & Timmy's is certainly my favorite when it comes to balancing quality with affordability. Their menu is great - they offer grilled AND oven-baked pizza in case you are catering to a less-adventurous crowd, their salads are fresh, and their pasta is a simple mix and match selection so one can design their own dish. Sure, you may dabble in the other menu offerings, but please spend most of your palate's attention on the grilled pizza. The shell itself is a wonder of nature - crispy and fluffy at the same time with a yummingly faint hint of a wood fire. It may be worth it, especially if you are getting take-out, to request that your pizza is medium-well done in order to avoid the chewy texture or underdone crust that has been mentioned in other reviews. Their vodka sauce...I certainly hope that they make it from scratch in their kitchen - because it is SO GOOD. My go-to menu item is their grilled pizza topped with vodka sauce, a trio of wild mushrooms, Parmesan and Romano cheeses. Take a look at their specialty pizza list before ordering - their creative combinations are too good to pass up. The restaurant itself is without pomp and exists in a nice contrasting harmony with other places on the Hill. There is a hominess to the dining room that I find relaxing and comfortable, and the tiny bar is the perfect place to enjoy an ice-cold draft when you pick up your order to go.

I don't eat as much pizza as my better half, but I always make sure to take her to the better known pizza joints in any city. Here, I had to try a few slices because it looked unbelievable and tasted that way as well. We went with the spinach and mushroom pizza and a side salad which was huge! The service at the bar was mildly attentive, but they were extremely busy when we walked in, so I can understand why. It got a bit better as the night progressed and the crowds died down. This is one of the better pies I have tasted anywhere, and that's saying a lot considering I don't do pizza all that much; sacrilegious, I know. The place seems like a good neighborhood spot, a staple that will continue with it's popularity and exceptional product.

Before leaving on a road trip up north, I told my friend one of my requirements was that we visit Bob and Timmy's. I'd seen its pizza ranked #5 in GQ's list of the nation's best pizzas, and I was very excited to try it out. So after spending the afternoon seeing the charming city, we found Bob and Timmy's hidden away on a back street of Providence's hopping restaurant district. We each ordered a pizza (they only come in one size), even though one 14 incher probably would have fed both of us (but we're guys, and we don't want to do that). Fortunately they let you do half and half toppings, so I got the veggie and the grilled chicken. Both sides were delicious--the crust was thin like pita bread, yet nicely-charred and chewy. The toppings were all fresh and flavorful. My friend got an oven pizza (standard crust), which he very nearly ate all of. I saved half of mine for breakfast, which was definitely a good decision.

Heard about this place from a friend. I'm so glad I listened to him this place is amazing. The best thin crust pizza I've ever had. The pizza was flavourful and crispy. Place is small and a bit hard to find but it was worth every penny. If you're ever in providence Bob and Timmy's Grilled Pizza is the place to be.

Ning T.

This was probably the first grilled pizza I've ever had, we were debating what to get, I think our first try we ordered 2 pizzas but 1 was so good that's the only one we order now and can remember the name! The Trio of Wild Mushroom Pizza, it has no red sauce, but omg is it good! We've only done takeouts here and never sat in. The pizza has always been phenomenal! We've tried the calamari but because we take it to go I guess I can't really rate it since it would sog up before I get home, but the pizza is still great. I can't imagine how I'd be sitting in to eat in the place!

Great great great pizza! Good beer selection and not pricey. Although I got a veggie selection, yes I know veggie selection, it was like an explosion of greatness in my mouth and I cannot wait until I go back for more. They accept cards and they do serve beer. They also have a patio for those who like the outdoor feel. Yum!

After a harrowing experience at Caserta Pizza (we left because the owner bullied us in the parking lot), we decided to take our business to Bob & Timmy's down the road. We ordered a caesar salad and two cheese pizzas. The food was delicious, the service was top notch and the decor was cozy and inviting. The night started with a very bad experience and ended on a high note. We brought most of the second pie home (because they were much larger than we anticipated)...I am thinking it'll be great for breakfast. Thanks!

New York's best pizzerias come attached with the names Grimaldi, Lombardi, and Luzzo. In Providence, it's Bob & Timmy's. On name alone, the place does not provide confidence to those looking for what GQ's Alan Richman called the #5 pizza in the nation. A couple friends and I were in Providence for one night and sought out one of the local specialties, grilled pizza, and decided upon the inauspiciously named B & T's. What we got was a revelation: pizza that we were still reminiscing about weeks later. I am not going to compare it to any neapolitan-style New York pizzas because the two are fundamentally different. First, B&T's pizza is not made in a coal or wood-fired oven. Instead the rolled-out dough is placed on a grill which leads to a totally different-tasting crust that was thin yet amazingly chewy, more like a flatbread or pita than what I would consider a traditional NY pizza crust. The kiss from the grill gave the crust a smokiness and char that I had never tasted from a pizza before. Second, the pizza isn't cut into slices but is cut more like a checkerboard, leading initially to a frenzy for the middle pieces. As we slowly made our way from the middle to the outside, we realized that more crust on this pizza was actually a good thing. Finally, the spinach and mushroom pizza with feta cheese was phenomenal. Yes, I know this is not a "difference" between RI and NY pies but the memory of that pizza has distracted me from listing out the other nuances. The mushrooms were sauteed, the spinach barely cooked and still not wilted, and the feta cheese provided the bite and creaminess that connected everything with the chewy, smokey crust harmoniously. Rounded out with good local beers, this was a memorable meal.

My first time having grilled pizza! I saw Bob & Timmy's on MvF and wanted to try it! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza grilled, and it is delicious! The chicken is in abundance and has a nice spicy buffalo sauce. I can't wait to try other pizzas! The service was great, I was greeted right away, and didn't have to wait very long for the pizza to be cooked! They also had ginger beer, my favourite!!

I went back again on Friday, and we sat at the bar. The bartender was efficient and helpful. We got an order of garlic bread... served with their thin crust pizza dough. Next we shared a Gorgonzola salad --- with an amazing homemade balsamic vinaigrette-honey mustard dressing. Wow. My two favorites in one. We also shared a 1/2 spinach and mushroom (what they are known for) and 1/2 four cheese and vodka would sauce pizza (who who have thunk it?). It was Excellent. The only thing that could have been better was it was not piping hot.

Great thin-crust, wood-grilled pizza. I'd especially recommend the Margarita- with prosciutto, basil, cheeses, tomatoes- yum! As other reviewers said, you need to eat a few more slices here than at other places to feel satisfied (but that's because it's thin crust)! All-in-all GREAT pizza that I'd highly recommend!

Caroline C.

I don't get the positive reviews here . . . the pizza . . . not so delicious. The ingredients were fresh, yes, but soggy and not flavorful. And I love pizza, even bad pizza. How can you make pizza mediocre? Bob and Timmy can. Moreover, wasn't so impressed with the management. We were coming through town and thought it would be helpful to call ahead an order (we actually were intending to go somewhere else, but called the wrong establishment). When we arrived, however, we weren't allowed to actually sit at any tables, and had to take the pizza and go. This is confusing - there were at least 15 tables open. We hadn't intended to order take out, just called ahead - but alas, we were told we had to leave (take out orders aren't permitted to eat here!) - forcing us to eat our pizza in the park, in the dark, next door. I'm not from the area, but wasn't digging the vibe in the dark park. Watching others eat their pizza from afar. Note to management - calling ahead actually makes tables turn over faster (and/or this 'rule' could have been better explained on the phone) . . not that that would have been an issue that night.

I don't think pizza gets better than this, and if it does then do me a favor and don't tell me about it. I'm already verging on pawning my valuables so that I can expand my Bob and Timmy's budget. One of my favorite aspects of the B&T pie is that it feels virtuous, even if you eat the better part of a whole pizza by yourself. The toppings are applied with a light hand and the crust is like a delicious flatbread; if those Dunkin' Donut ads are anything to go on, flat bread is what skinny people eat. I've sampled several of their pies, but my favorite is hands down the Pizza I: gorgonzola, parmesean, romano, red sauce and parsley. YUM. Sometimes when I crave pizza, what I want is oozing cheese that pulls away from the slice in a thick gooey thread. This is not that kind of pizza. If I want ooey, gooey decadent slices, I go around the corner to Cecilia's on Atwells Ave. I can't vouch for this myself, but I think B&T would be a great first date locale. In fact, I was once seated beside a pair of first daters who blathered on nervously about everything from company cars to the impending apocalypse. The date seemed to be a doozy, but I'm sure both parties would have given the food and the ambiance a solid 5 stars. Like the perfect date, the vibe at B&T is classy without being stuffy. The food itself is unique enough to be a conversation starter and you don't feel like a glutton even after you've gone to town. I love this place!

If you're in the neighborhood you owe it to yourself to try this place. Really good pizza, with fresh, plentiful toppings. My Chicago-born wife absolutely loved the thin crust. Good service, good drink selection, and reasonably priced. We sat outside on a balmy night with some old college friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Bonus: lots of metered parking on the street and one block away from Atwells Ave.

The phrase grilled pizza makes me cringe because I think of Californians and midwesterners who can't make a good pizza comparable to the northeast so they make wacky pizza. But the pizza here is no joke at all. The ingredients are fresh and tasty. And that crust is so good when it comes right out of the kitchen! It's so chewy, crispy, and crunchy I could probably snack on it all day. The pizza (14") is also probably large enough for 2 for those who have no idea how large a 14" grilled pizza is. So even though I live in NY, this is definitely one of the better pizzas I've had the pleasure to try in a long time. Keep up the good work!

Just left here on this Sunday night. Worst service I have seen in a long time. I understand they only had one waitress for the whole dining room but what a lousy attitude . Also they forgot to put the sauce on the pizza and said sorry here is a side of sauce . Really ? Great customer service I would lose all my customers if I treated them like this . They should of made another one . I refuse to come back here.

Probably one of the best pizza places I have ever been to! The crust was so incredibly unique I will crave it until it meets my mouth again. The flaky nature of the crust was almost like pastry dough meets grilled pita. The spinach, mushroom, and feta pizza was phenomenal. Friendly staff was great for recommendations. I will be back if I'm ever back in Providence again..I may have to go back just for the pizza though!

Having had great pizza here many times before, my wife was keen on having a grilled pizza at Bob & Timmy's. I never cared for the wait (sometimes people are spilling out onto the sidewalk) or the neighborhood (Elvis croons "In the Ghetto"), but we managed to sneak in before the rush -- and presumably before the usual pizza pie makers (or anyone who cares jack squat about providing a quality dining experience) were on duty. First off, the entire restaurant smelled like URINE -- you can smell the bathrooms, no matter where you sit. The waitress somehow managed to bungle a simple order for the three or four or six cheese pizza (whatever the combo cheese specialty is). Rather than send it back -- and wait another 20 minutes to eat -- we stuck it out with one of the sorriest excuses for a cheese pizza EVER. Oh, and did I mention the $10 plate of calamari? On previous visits it was an actual plate piled high with calamari. This time around, it was a plate of peppers with a sprinkling of limp, soggy calamari on top. What a rip off. And my daughter's kid's hamburger was obviously a Sam's Club patty halfheartedly warmed up in the pizza oven. Wretched. We -- and GQ -- must have enjoyed B&T's when it was rolling in dough (forgive the pun) and actually gave a squat about its customers. If you go, go for the urine smell.

The spinach and mushroom pizza is probably the best pizza I've ever had. Even if you aren't a big baby spinach and/or mushroom fan, this pizza will win you over. The other pizzas I've tried at Bob and Timmy's have been tasty, but none rise to the same level. The parking can be an absolute nightmare, and the restaurant itself is tiny. For the first go-round, I'd recommend either going when you aren't hungry and have time to wait, getting takeout, or going at a relatively slow time (e.g., for lunch). Definitely not to be missed!

After seeing them on the Man vs Food show we went in for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We ordered the Spinach and Mushroom pizza to eat there (the one featured on the show) and a BBQ chicken to take home for later. Obviously the Spinach one was real good because we ate it right there. The toppings were plentiful and fresh, this is not a typical pizza for this area as it it grilled but it really is good. The BBQ chicken was good to but would have been better if we had eaten it there instead of reheating it later that night. Service was just fine for us, and we will definitely be back.

Bob and Timmy's has great grilled pizza. I've tried the majority of the grilled pizza menu and would say the The Grilled Classic is the best. It's just so good! The salad with the house balsamic dressing is a perfect starter to go along with it. Outdoor seating in the summer is a nice experience. The service and management are great as well. Always attentive and friendly! It was really cool to see this place get some recognition in national publications because it's well deserved. Highly recommended!

The service was friendly and attentive, and I was able to be seated immediately in spite of Bob & Timmy's spinach, mushroom, and feta pizza being in this week's "GQ's Best 25 Pizzas in the US." So why the poor review? In my humble opinion, the flavors of the pizza were a major disappointment. Don't believe the hype. * - I will say that after having seen the Yelp photos, I wish I had tried the margherita pie.

The second best grilled pizza in town (al forno is better but double the price). This is our go to place when we are in the mood for pizza. Our favorite is the four cheese with pink vodka sauce and red onions. In terms of apps we like the wings and the grilled veggie salad. They also have decent outdoor seats in summer

Yum! Yum! Yum! I am a self-declared pizza snob. I grew up in CT with fabulous pizza options and lived in NYC for a few years where the pizza options are even better. A trip to Italy cemented my snobbery. Bob and Timmy's passed the test. The pizza here is different than most other pizza places because it's grilled. This is a good thing. The pizza is cooked for only a short time, so all of the toppings remain fresh and flavorful instead of becoming mushy globs. Every time I go, I'm amazed at how the spinach keeps its form and its flavor without overpowering the entire pie. I've tried a few of the varieties and liked some more than others. I don't like red sauce on pizza, so I can't speak to any of the options that include a tomato-base. I have tried the BBQ chicken which did not terribly impress me. My boyfriend, however, who could lie off of BBQ chicken pizza said it's one of the best he's had. The BBQ sauce is sweeter than at most other places, so it really won him over. I love my pizzas topped with a variety of cheeses and vegetables, so I've tried their famous Spinach & Mushroom as a well as a few of their specials. They use just the right amount of cheese to balance the veggies. Every flavor stands out. I highly recommend branching out of your comfort zone and trying your pizza with ricotta or goat cheese. You will then experience pizza heaven. The grilled pizza feels gourmet even though the restaurant is by no means high-end. It's light, yet satisfying and doesn't leave you feeling bogged down my grease. Service can be a bit shoddy. Twice I've gone and the server messed up our bill and it took 15 minutes to have it fixed. Also, they can be a tad inattentive, so your water glass may remain empty and unnoticed. Despite these flaws, all of the servers are very friendly. One other note is that sometimes the pizza can be a bit undercooked, but they're happy to grill it up for a few additional minutes if need be. All in all, I definitely recommend a trip to Bob & Timmy's for a new pizza experience.

Had pizza and pasta tonight. Takeout. Called in, 20 minutes later picked it up. Amazingly good food. Outside and inside eating. Great place

Excellent pizza, no skimping on the toppings. I ordered a sub too, which was also good, although needed a far more generous serving of oil and vinegar. Salads were also good, and big. I only tried one pasta, a gouda alfredo type with mushrooms. It was excellent. We visited with a large group, a reunion of sorts from 20 years back. Consequently we ordered a wide selection of pizza. I cannot remember them all, but they were all excellent. If you are a mushroom fan, you'll be amazed at the quantity of mushrooms served.

I've been going to Bob & Timmy's since before they moved to Spruce Street and were located in DePasquale Square. That's a whole lot of years. My last visit one week ago ends our relationship. We left the (very good) waitress her tip in cash, but someone took it upon themselves to add yet another tip to our bill AFTER I sighed the credit card receipt. That's stealing. That's it for me and now I have to watch that credit card like a hawk. I have no idea what someone will do with it now. The food and service has always been beyond excellent but if I can't trust them with my credit card anymore, it's over. They seem to be under new management. All the waitresses were new.

So I saw this place on the food network and knew I was going to be visiting so I jotted some notes down and decided I would have dinner here during my business trip. The service was good. The pizza was delicious. I ordered the spinach and mushroom pizza and ate a good 1/3 of it by myself!! However before I got my bill and had a chance to call the hotel shuttle, I was in the restroom, SICK! I think it must have been the spinach. This ruined my night until at least midnight and considering I was still on west coast time and had to get up at 530 am which was 230 am my time, I was not happy. So i decided to NOT visit the other locations I had written down from the food network. Bummed from CA. :(

I love this place !!! Tucked away in a corner of Federal Hill ( a little easier to find parking here) Seating outside in nice weather. Pizza is excellent and very reasonably priced around $13/$14 for a large gourmet pizza with fresh ingredients. caesar salad is huge with house made dressing. I love the balsamic dressing too. Clam Chowder is awesome. I haven't tried the pasta dishes but they look great. I love the atmosphere here, staff is alway very welcoming, service is good. I have turned a few friends onto Bob & Timmy's and they are hooked. They all say the same thing "I never even knew this was here"

Wow!!!! The best wood fire grilled pizza! The slight hickory smoke flavor on the thinly crusted pizza with caremlized onions,,feta and sautÃ©ed mushrooms was Excellent! A true pizza house!

A local took me to Bob and Timmy's during the Summer of 2008. It quickly became my go to place for a quick bite to eat in Providence. I have to say it's the best pizza in Providence and might just be the best pizza in New England. They have traditional and thin crust pizza. Get the thin crust its what they are known for and its superb. They have a garlic bread appetizer that is not on the menu, its pretty much the dough of a thin crust pizza seasoned with butter, garlic, and some cheese. Yum. Their calzones are great as well and very large for around $7 you can't go wrong. When I first started going to Bob and Timmy's the wings were amazing in fact as silly as it sounds the wings along brought in my patronage. However the wings have recently gotten worse, now they are just average. I can eat a lot and I have never been able to eat a whole calzone and split an order of wings. So you will not have to worry about leaving hungry. Lastly, their beer specials are great too. They feature a beer and if you buy two pints of it then you get to take home a pint class with the beers logo on it. I have managed to get four Samual Adams curved pint glasses by taking advantage of this special.

My second favorite grilled pizza place. When it comes to value and a casual dinning atmosphere though this is tops on my list of local grilled pizza. The Lasagna specialty pizza is superb.

Services was great, chicken fingers and fries were good but that's about it... The Calamari with marinara sauce was cooked alright but was absolutely tasteless. We ordered a half grilled, half barbecued chicken pizza. The pizza was cold and tasteless. There was a very thin, overly sweet sauce that I believe was their version of barbecue sauce. The sauce was just squirted on all over the pizza in globs. It was horrible, worst pizza we've ever had....

I've officially tried every pizza place in providence. this place is the best. aside from tomato city, i mean. My favorite pizza is the lasange pizza, with sauteed mushrooms added. Fresh spinach, warm creamy ricotta cheese, deliciously juicy pizza sauce and the perfect amount of mozerella cheese.... man...that is good pizza. I really wish it had a firmer crust....that is the only downside. But wow, is it delicious! None of these pizza's cost more than 14 bucks, even the everything. They do have regular oven baked pizza, which has a firmer crust...but its not the same as the grilled thin crust. Parking is a pain-in-the-bum, but like I said before-take it to go. You really don't want to eat inside this place...it is pretty small. It is more of a bar than a restaurant, but the pizza is incredible. after tasting all of the pizza in town-literally- I have to give this place 5 stars because it really is as good as it gets. Al forno has pretty much the same pizza except it is finished with a handful of herbs for an extra 15 bucks.

Went here after watching Man vs Food and it was amazing. The clam pizza was so good. The grilled pizza is perfect. It is a light pizza without sauce and has a nice light feel while you are eating it. Jose knows how to make pizzas.

Late Wednesday night my hubby & I craved pizza. Looked on my phone & found this place real close to where we were at. When we pulled up, it was very busy, but we walked in & got a seat no problem. Looked around, saw a lot of good looking pizzas, so we checked menu (with 20 specialty pizzas, hard to choose) & ordered the Spinach & Mushroom. "Freshly sauteed mushrooms, Spinach, Garlic, Parmesan & Feta" It came out within minutes, PILED with huge amounts of toppings! (It was cold, had to send it back for a few more minutes) This pizza was undoubtedly the BEST pizza I've had in a VERY long time! Our waitress was great, very friendly & knowledgeable! The ONLY downside: Wanted to try a specialty beer they had signs all over advertising, and even though they had the keg in the cooler, it wasn't hooked up! The bottled beer, a little pricey...but a fantastic experience anyway! Not only do they have pizza, but also appetizers, calzones, pasta, salads & sandwiches! If you're looking for a good deal in the Atwells Avenue area, this is your place!

Bob & Timmy's has the best pizza I've ever tasted. From the fresh, delicious toppings to the thin gourmet crust -- grilled to perfection -- their pizza is incredible. Since my first visit over 10 years ago, I have been recommending this place every time someone even mentions Providence. Try the BBQ chicken pizza, or request the pink vodka sauce on any other pizza.

REALLY REALLY GOOD PIZZA and I just got the basic cheaper pizza haven't tried the better more "gourmet" types. Will definitely go back another time when i'm in providence.

Rhode Island has a ton of great Italian eateries, of varying expense and appearance. You can pay a ton for a fantastic Italian meal or you can get a quick slice for a couple of bucks. Then there's the middle-ground. Timmy & Bobby's is a place that is smack-dab in the middle: really reasonable food, great tasting, and a decently simple dÃ©cor. Family-owned and operated, Timmy & Bobby's is a fairly plain, unassuming family restaurant that is Italian from top to bottom. It is a fool that comes here and never tries the pizzas. They come out as tasty and as authentic as you'd want a pizza to arrive. Fresh ingredients and even fresher dough come together to make a great pie, and they do it. Others at my table, who at least were smart enough to have tried the pizza before, had the equally tasty baked dishes (lasagne if I recall correctly). Oh, and I forgot to mention that this place is wicked cheap. Four of us had Caesar salad, pizza, beers, and tax and tip all in...$10.00 per. I'm looking forward to the next Rhode Island trip.

What's up with all these massholes saying Atwells is ghetto? You don't know what ghetto is, scared little white kids. Stay off the hill! This is the best pizza in Rhode Island, comparable to the famous Frank Pepe's over in New Haven. The best, seriously.
(5)
Dawn E.

Hidden in deep in the ghetto... (just behind Atwells Ave) lies Bob and Timmy's.... No, seriously, folks, this street is Ghetto! The place itself is quaint and divey at the same time. There's a little fenced in patio for outdoor eating and then a dive-esque indoor space. The service was stellar. Our server was charming and witty and prompt. We started with Nachos after rave reviews from our server (even though I was leaning towards... er.... meh...) and I must say... what a vast disappointment. The chips were from a bag, and they weren't even from the quality bag (they were the round kind... you know them). I don't understand where a place that serves nachos doesn't make their own chips... if you have a deep fryer, fresh chips are SOOOOOO easy to make. The salsa was really a pico de gallo (which she had said it would be) and it was fresh and somewhat tasty but there was not nearly enough of it. The mozzarella cheese didn't sit right on Nachos (and they had all these other delicious Italian cheese available, why not medley them all on the nachos) and then there was a lump of sour cream. It was visually boring and my taste buds agreed with my eyes (plus the chips came out a bit burnt). In essence, don't order the nachos. The pizza was another thing all-together. We ordered grilled chicken (and I don't even really dig chicken on pizza) with sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, Gorgonzola and mozz cheese and some other stuff I can't remember. The crust was thin and crisp. The dough needed something, I don't know what, but something. Still, it was pretty good. The sauce was very tasty and I swear the pizza tasted better after each bite. Oh, and the price is definitely right. Pizza and app with leftovers = about $20 plus tip.

Andrea M.

FRESH TASTE Been going to Bob & Timmy's since I was 18. I have to say their thin-crust pizzas are noteworthy. If you truly want to experience very fresh, thin crust pizza, this could be your best bet. They're a-ok in my book. I have to be in the mood for thin-crust pizza, but if I am, they are the first place to go for this specialty.

Elizabeth P.

We made a special trip after seeing Man vs. Food, what a huge disappointment! We ordered the white clam pizza, there were no grill marks on the crust ,it was soggy, and overloaded with mozzarella. We sent it back in hopes it would return crispy, but to no avail, it was the same. We left with a box of an unfinished box of a small pizza which we proceeded to throw away. Moral of the story? When a restaurant is being filmed, of course it's going to look perfect! Wont be going back any time soon!

I will give the disclaimer that the pizza was take out, followed by a 15 minute drive and another 10 minutes before I actually ate it. With that being said, the crust completely lost all crunchiness, but I blame myself. Had a margherita pizza... I will try this again any day of the week, but eat in only. I want this pizza fresh off the grill before I give my honest review of it. The waitress who took my order, along with the remaining staff... EXTREMELY nice and accomodating. I hade a couple adjustments to the pizza made because someone didn't like the parmigianno/romano (blasphemy) but the waitress was more than happy to customize the pizza. The only complaint about the pizza was there was barely any basil on it... clearly i asked for a side of basil and they were more than happy to send me home with a container full of freshly chopped basil :) EDIT: Forgot to mention a couple things about the other components on the pizza. The cheese used is out of this world, along with extremely fresh tomatoes. I will say, i was very disappointed with the "prosciutto." Come on guys, I know its more expensive but when you serve "proscuitto" on federal hill, no less, i was expecting thinly shaved Prosciutto di Parma. Instead, thick squares of domestic prosciutto, which is wayyyyy too salty. I'll be back... this time I will definitely try a normal cheese and pepperoni, and also this famous spinach and mushroom pizza that Adam raves about.

I love the pizza here. JUST the pizza. I got a sandwich a few days ago that was the worst sandwich I've ever eaten in my life. The 4 stars are for the pizza alone which is unbeatable. Seriously, order JUST the pizza. Over the years I've tried almost everything on the menu. Salads, pasta, and calzones, wavering on ok- between 2 and 3 stars. The calamari, 1, the sandwiches..amazingly bad.

I've tried a lot of grilled pizzas in Providence, and Bob & Timmy's (in my opinion) is the best. The decor isn't exactly eye catching, and you might have a hard time finding it (it's hidden in that back alley-thing next to the highway like Pastiche) but the pizza is awesome. I honestly have nothing bad to say, I've tried a few of their pizzas and they were all amazing, so yeah, check them out! Oh and they have a bar!

aaron t.

By far my favorite pizza place in new england if you like the yummy, warming, tasty thin, but still filling type of pizza. GREAT, cozy laid back environment. Kind people, service. Very relaxing. A bar is right there. Nothing fancy, just plain homey, chill, and relaxing with the best pizza in my mind. Try their calamari......some of the best I have ever had.!!! favorite pizza is their Spinach+mushroom!
(5)
Henry D.

My wife and I were told this was great pizza, and it is. I don't normally go for thin crust pizza, but the toppings more than make up for the lack of crust. We dined with a professional colleague of my wife's, and ordered two pizzas between us. Since we couldn't decide on one or two toppings, we ordered two half-and-half pizzas, which they are happy to do. We took home an amount equal to a half.
(4)
Michael Y.

Started with the fried calamari w/banana peppers. Calamari was pretty good and the banana peppers were a nice compliment. Too bad the calamari was practically bathing in them and we were left with a heaping pile of peppers. As for the pizza, who knew grilled pizza would be so good? Had the 'famous' Spinach and Mushroom (Freshly Sauteed Mushrooms, Spinach, Garlic, Olive Oil with Parmesan, Romano and Feta Cheese) and a Grilled classic (Wild Mushrooms, Grilled Yellow Onions, Pepperoni, Parmesan and Romano Cheese with Marinara Sauce). The crust was thin as paper and super crisp, the toppings were fresh and plentiful. Would I call the Spinach and Mushroom the 5th best pie in America? Definitely not. But that doesn't mean B&T's isn't worth a repeat visit.

Maddy S.

Far and away the biggest thing I miss about Providence now that I've graduated. It's a total hole in the wall, but it's the most fantastic hole in the wall EVER. Be prepared to wait since it's tiny, but I promise you, it'll be so worth it. The bruschetta is fresh and fantabulous, and pretty much anything with the vodka sauce is drool-inspiring. Is it weird to say you dreamed about a sauce? Because yeah, I've definitely dreamed about their four cheese pizza and their penne a la vodka. Next time I swing in to town, this will probably be the only place I eat, period. I need to get my fill before I leave, because it'll probably be a while before I return. Needless to say, whenever folks from work head to RISD for campus recruiting, it's the first and often only place I recommend for dinner - that's how serious I am about my love for this place... for real.

I've been hearing about how great this place was ever since I moved to the land of no directionals, shady politics, and misguided hipster moped gangsters ....... All of which can be both amusing and aggravating depending on the day, mood, and/or traffic situation. (Im not sure if this is a food review or a rant). Well I finally hit Robert and Timothy's Grilled Pizza and its as good as advertised by every Maria, Tony, and Angelo who knows anything about where the best pies in the city are. Super, super thin crust with heaping toppings of fresh vegetables, high end imported meats (prusciutto all day long for me), and mushrooms that look like they've been shot up with more HGH than Lance Armstrong. All of which are floating 'on golden ponds' of olive oil and globs of tangy marinara sauce. Location is off the beaten path and parking is on the shallow side but that serves my selfish desire to keep this hidden gem all to myself. BTW- waitstaff was awesome and put up with my wise Irish ass. I'm giving this Bad Larry 5 stars and 7 miles.....which is about what I'll need to run after every trip back here.

I can't think of a single place in the entire world that is so obviously a 5-star rating for me, and I've been all over and experienced countless delicious meals. I place Bob and Timmy's on as high a pedestal as the best of the best pizza I've ever had (and I am both a pizza connoisseur and pizza snob), right next to the pizza I had once in Campania (pizza's birthplace), a glorious margherita autentica on the island of Ischia at probably the best restaurant overall I've ever been to. That's not to say these two pizzas have anything in common, just that purely from the standpoint of taste and culinary joy, Bob and Timmy's packs as much in their grilled pizzas as is possible in any pizza. It shocks me when people come here and do not order the grilled pizza. Seriously, skip the appetizers, skip the pasta, wings, and everything else on the menu. Even skip drinks if it will help your appetite. Just start with the pizza 1, a scrumptious marriage of dried mozzarella, asiago, parmesan, gorgonzola, marinara sauce, and fresh herbs. The crust is absolutely divine, crispy yet chewy with just the slightest hint of char. The cheese is usually only barely melted, which means it is tangy and smooth and not greasy at all. The marinara is a smooth, lightly-spiced, cheese-dusted, tangy relish that brings everything together and balances all the flavors perfectly. Other pizzas that I highly recommend are the four cheese w pink vodka sauce and red onions, the trio of wild mushroom, and the spinach and mushroom. All of these offerings are, put simply, to die for. I live in Chicago and do not go a single day without wishing there were a Bob and Timmy's in my neighborhood. Whenever I visit Rhode Island, I make this place both my first meal and my last meal in the area. I have easily been here dozens of times, perhaps even a hundred times, and it has never, ever disappointed. Start starving yourself well before arriving, and then just enter gastronomic heaven. I think a pizza 1 here is around $9.50, and in many ways this as just as much a culinary masterpiece as many $150 prix fixe marathons. If you visit providence, enjoy pizza to even the slightest degree, and do not come here, then I can't say I imagine anybody crying at your funeral.

I've been to Bob & Timmy's twice and loved it both times. Tried the grilled pizza the first time and the crust was very light and flavorful. The cocktails are great too! Second time I tried a sandwich and it was huge, way too much for me to finish so there was enough to take home for a snack later. Great ambiance with the tin ceiling and wall tiles.

I'm not usually a grilled pizza fan, but this place is different. They sell delicious, thin-crust, grilled pizza with very fresh ingredients, and you can eat outside in their courtyard. Terrific!

I have to admit that I hadn't even heard of this place until I saw it listed in a magazine for having one of the top pizzas in the country. I grew up in Brooklyn, and if nothing else, I know pizza. Bob and Timmy's spinach/mushroom/feta pizza was ranked above some of my favorite places - Joe's in NYC, Frank Pepe in New Haven - so I had to try it. It was amazing. My fiance and I got hooked on it immediately and would pick it up (they don't deliver) on a weekly basis. I've tried some other pizza toppings like their bbq chicken and four cheese as well as some non-pizza options like their salads and calamari. They weren't anything to write home about, but the spinach mushroom is a masterpiece. I don't know if it's better than Joe's and Frank Pepe, but with the crust of the grilled pizza being something like naan, it's definitely not anything I've ever had before. We've moved away from Rhode Island, but if we go back to visit, there is no doubt in my mind that we'll stop in for a pie.

Bob B.

So a couple of friends and I have been on a pizza kick lately. We had not tried Bob & Timmy's so we finally visited it for lunch. We went for a taste of both styles - one grilled margherita and a regular styled plain cheese pizza. We both felt the dough on the regular style was not very flavorful but was fresh. The sauce was very light and there was a generous amount of cheese. The grilled pizza seemed a bit under done yet was ok. Again, not a ton of flavor in the crust. even though it was grilled which surprised us. The tomatoes were thicker than desired and since they were not the native summer variety, you can imagine that they could not add too much to the dish. The basil added some nice flavor to the light (almost bland) fresh mozzarella (not a complaint, the nature of that style). The prosciutto was thicker chunks - more like traditional ham than it's namesake. Suffice to say we were a bit disappointed because we had heard so much about B&T's. We may try again to see if we just caught an off day. As this rating states, it was ok...unfortunately just ok. Update: I have been going to the one in North Smithfield and the results have been getting better and better. Getting the pizza well done adds a nice level of crispiness to the dough and makes it really stand out imo. So to be fair, I am moving the 3 to 4 stars.

Duane B.

The best grilled pizza around! We had the grille classic and were very happily surprised. The place does not look like much but the grilled pizza is worth the foray. The neighborhood is really not that bad one block away from federal hill.

Nancy S.

Yes, the pizza is fantastic, but I cant believe no one has posted a review about the pasta dishes!! They are as delicious as the pizza if not more. My fave, The Hill Special has grilled chicken,sun dried tomatoes, and wild mushrooms in a smoked gouda cream sauce. Its more of a cold weather dish as it is rather heavy, but soo delicious and flavorful. The smoked gouda really adds another dimension to the sauce and for $14 the portion is huge. Salads are also super fresh (none of that ice berg stuff) and could feed 3 or 4 people....so people- branch out and try other stuff besides the pizza!!

Jason B.

This is a nice place tucked away on a street parallel to Atwells Ave. Try any of the pies, and you'll find something good.

Excellent option for pizza on The Hill. Situated on Spruce Street behind Sicilia's Pizzeria on Federal Hill, this place is out of the way, but definitely a must-try. I don't know what took me so long to finally try it, but it's amazing pizza. Thin crispy crust GRILLED to perfection, fresh flavorful toppings, great service and very reasonable prices. Absolutely a must-try if you like grilled pizza. If you've never tried grilled pizza, RUN don't WALK to Bob & Timmy's and get a pie NOW.

E F.

I decided to check out this place again after the good reviews it has gotten in the press over the years. The pizza was still only just ok - but man, the service was horrible. It took 10 minutes to get us seated (and there were tables available and 3 waitresses who walked by us multiple times). It took another 10 minutes to just get a Diet Coke. The pizza came fast, once we were able to even order it. Not once did the waitress check on us. Really poor service - it was a Monday night, not even a weekend busy night.

One of the best wood grilled pizzas I've had in a long time. The crust is perfect, the sauce and toppings taste superb, and I would definitely come here again if I visit Providence. The people there were also very polite. I have to warn you though that their wood grilled pizza is very thin crust, so it's not filling; I ordered a garden salad prior to that order, and that filled me up.

Don't get me wrong. The pizza was good. The thing is though I have had much much better pizza in providence! Perhaps some of my issue with the pizza was that it wasn't hot... Try Nice Slice or Hope street Pizza.

I hate doing this. It makes me feel like such a jerk. But really? The best grilled pizza? The best in New England? I sincerely hope not. A friend and I dined here once, and although the atmosphere and service were fine, the pizza was terrible. The crust was limp and bland, and the vodka sauce was almost completely flavorless. The sparse toppings did nothing to redeem the mess beneath. We left wishing we had eaten anywhere else on or near Atwells Avenue. Maybe it was an off night or maybe we ordered the wrong pizza. All I know is that I am not touching another grilled pizza until I make it to Al Forno.

Jonny W.

Hands down best grilled pizza I have ever had anywhere. Smokes everything! My favorite from what I have had so far is the Four Cheese Pizza. This pizza has the perfect quantity of ingredients that work so harmoniously together, if you have a full bodied red with it, you can't beat it. Go here regularly when the urge arises. Don't want too many people to know about it as it has seemed to be more and more packed as I visit each time, but have to give it the credit it deserves! Thank you gentlemen for the great pizza!

Jonathan S.

I have to admit that I went to Bob and Timmy's after reading the GQ article online. It was worth it and it was affordable. I know they were featured in the article for their Spinach and Mushroom pizza but, not being a fan of mushrooms, I went with their Pizza II, which is a pizza with tomato sauce, onions, parmesian, and romano. It was very good. I found the crust to be fantastic, the closest I've had to Al Forno's in terms of taste though the sauce would have received 3.5 stars. My girl friend had the four cheese pizza with pink vodka sauce and it was excellent. I'm looking forward to trying their Margherita Pizza, especially since it's topped with prosciutto!

Heather B.

Right on Aaron! I had the white clam pizza here during one of my frequent trips to Providence to visit my sister. It was the best pizza I have had outside of NY. Bravo! Now that my sister has moved to Seattle, I don't know what to do. sniff... =(

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.

Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20^th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
