What makes it a Rhody Gem?

Owner Izzy Oner says that with pizza, it’s all about the base. “Our goal is simple: we want to be known for our crust, because to us, great pizza starts there,” he explains. “My family has been making and selling pizza in New England since the 1980s, and that legacy shows up in every pie we make today.” The menu of pizzas features crave-worthy pies like the pepperoni and hot honey, house meatball, and the Funguy – a savory blend of fresh garlic, mozzarella, and whipped ricotta, topped with portobello mushrooms and a truffle oil drizzle. “We’re not trying to copy anyone, we’re making the kind of pizza we love, shaped by our roots and our standards,” says Oner, who credits his Air Force background with instilling values to always improve, always refine, and never settle. “That mindset lives in our dough and our process every single day.” There are also salads and grape leaves, but don’t miss dessert. Along with chocolate chip cookies and cakes, there’s baklava. “We love infusing flavor into food, layering ingredients with intention, and making every bite feel like something you’ll remember.”
