Block Island Pizza Pie Company — Restaurant in New Shoreham

I hate to leave less-than-good reviews, but have no choice here. It's pre-season on Block Island and, literally, no place was open for lunch except BI Pizza Pie. The food was fine, atmosphere also fine - nothing spectacular or horrible either way. Why 2 stars, you ask? We ordered 2 small pizzas (they're personal sized, slightly smaller than a dinner plate), 1 veggie wrap (lettuce, tomato, onion, bell peppers), a salad (lettuce, one tomato, onions), 2 Corona and an iced tea. It cost SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS! Yes, 75 American dollars! I live in Newport, which no one would consider cheap, and I'm all too happy to pay for an exceptional meal. But this wasn't it. When the cashier gave me the total I was stunned and thought there must have been a mistake. He was very polite and went over the order with me - sure enough, $75. Everything else about the weekend was wonderful. We had dinner that night at The Barn and had 4 delicious entrees, 2 appetizers and 2 rounds of drinks for $103. Needless to say, next time we'll just starve...

I rarely comment on any eatery, however, the “food” I received for $37.80 of my hard earned money deserves a review. This pizzeria should be dragged out back and taken out of its misery. How does a pepperoni pizza and meatball sub cost $37.80? You can get much better pizza at poor peoples pub (next door and quite good) or block island grocery - because a frozen digiorno is better than this. In fact, the pepperoni pizza was basically digiorno (and this isn’t meant to slight digiorno) with a 400% mark up. The meatball sub was worse than subway (and with none of the add ons!).

The evening I ordered pizza wasn’t a great one to begin with (do you think pizza from this place was plan A?) - and I knew better, but I didn’t think it would be that bad nor did I think one (1) pepperoni pizza and one (1) meatball sub would cost $37.80. Maybe the kids behind the counter ripped me off, or maybe this place only survives on one...

Went there for the 3rd time because we enjoyed their pizza the first two visits. This time around, we ordered two large pizzas for a big party. They gave us the wrong pizza and said that they couldn't take the pizza back because we had already opened the box, claiming that it was company policy. No slices were bitten. I assumed they wanted to not have the pizza to waste and give it to the right person, but for obvious reasons (covid) they couldn't do that.

The guy who claimed to be the manager really damaged their reputation, which was unfortunate because all other staff were very friendly. Certainly will not have a 4th visit from us. Very...
