Pizza Pie-er is my favorite Rhode Island Pizza. They have by far the best gluten free pizza. Great choices and the service is always top notch. I have been a customer for over 20 years.
The staff are always upbeat and friendly. I don't feel overestimated like I do in other stores that have all of the different brands of the same product. There's plenty of organic, vegetarian/vegan, gluten free, free range, and environmentally conscious options. And the prices are great.
We sat outside and had a lovely meal. Plenty of gluten free options! I had the seafood paella which was delicious- as well as the queijo fresco and frijole dip and. They do not have a dedicated gluten free fryer so tortilla chips weren’t suitable for me, but they did provide vegetables and blue corn tortillas as a celiac safe substitution! Overall a great choice with tasty and affordable options! Would recommend a reservation for dinner though!
***Summary***
-High quality noodles (Jahunger Noodle, Original Meefen), lesser quality meats
-Cute, flexible house-inspired interior with kind service/hospitality
-Uyghur cuisine
-Was in and out in ~35 minutes
***By Dish***
1) Jahunger Noodle (Entree)
-Especially enjoyed the chewy, savory noodles. Had a strong onion flavor that could be a bit overpowering. Beef pieces were flavorful but tough and did not taste very fresh.
2) Original Meefen (Entree)
-This dish was my sneaky favorite of the day. Expecting a mushier texture, the gluten-free rice noodles were soft, fresh, with a subtle chewiness. I loved the chili oil taste and appreciated the added texture of the crispy soybeans. The minced chicken was not the feature of this dish, but still soaked up the flavor well.
3) Lamb Samsa (Appetizer)
-While this looked appetizing, the dish lacked flavor and overall, the theme of lesser quality meats showed itself once again. It helped to dip the samsa into the Original Meefen chili oil!
This place is a must visit spot. They have the most creative and delicious pizza slices. I can't have their pizza anymore as I'm now gluten free but I still dream of their preprepared slices. I used to get at least three different ones even though they are huge! The kitchen-sink pizza is amazing. Now I go for their amazing antipasto salad.
Burger patties are solid here. Gochujang sauce wasn't great, and they used too much on mine. Bun is good. Would've liked a bit more substance in the burger at this price point. Fries were cold/a bit soft as well as a bit too salty so wouldn't recommend them. Would go back to try a different burger and maybe just pony up for an extra patty. Wife liked the gluten free bun and kid liked the Mac and cheese (which I tasted and thought was decent). Kid meal was a bit pricey for what it was (Mac and cheese with fries at $11), but the Mac as a side is $8, so just speaks to that maybe not being the best value on the menu. High chairs were good, bathrooms were clean, service was fast and responsive.
Anyone with food allergies should avoid this establishment. They have a few denotations on the menu, FL being flourless/wheatless. When I inquired about one of those dishes (grape leaves) and asked if it was fully gluten free, he said he couldn’t guarantee it because it had rice, and he suggested the tabbouleh instead. I understand about the rice, as it could be grown next to a wheat field. But, tabbouleh has bulgar wheat in it, which is gluten. To direct me from a cross contamination dish to a fully gluten dish was concerning. I ordered an iced hibiscus tea to go (which was very nice) and headed out.
