Newport Pizza Company — Restaurant in Newport

Just got home from Newport Pizza. My husband and I wanted a night out. Never been here before, but hear great reviews from a relative who works near by. So we sat outside at a table. Not sure if someone comes out to wait on you, so my husband went in to get menu. He got them, came out and said someone will come out and take our order. A lady brought food out for other table and said she be right with us. She came out and took our order. We got our drinks, plates, and silverware. About 15 minutes later we got our fries, and garlic bread. Then we sat and waited for our hoagies. For 47 more minutes after our fries and bread. The lady came out with the check. I said honey!! WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN OUR HOAGIES? She said let me check. She came out and said 3 minutes. It was longer than 3, she brought them out. We were eating and couldn't eat it all, plus it was getting late. We had the check, money, and tip. My husband went into get a container for the hoagies. My husband asked the same lady for a container. They lady handed him a pizza box! He said excuse me I got hoagies. He then paid the bill to her. We were clearly going to leave her a tip. But it upset my husband so much, he felt there was a lack of service on her end, and the cooks end. NO ONE WAS CHECKING ON OUR FOOD. Other walk in customers went in ordered take out and left. And we watch more and more. Go in the come out with food. Out the back door we saw several deliverie driver come and go. Some 2 and 3 times. So my husband felt not obligated to give her a tip. I gave a 2 star for the 2 plates, 2 silverware, and 2 drinks we got. The hoagies were not that good. My husband's was missing the onions. Just a over all bad experience. Will be going to Riverfront pizza, or pizza place on Bellevue on the main drag....

Nice little hole in the wall that defies expectations based on everything u see. Place looks like it could use some fresh paint and u may be worried it's dirty; it's not.

When we visited, it was like this sleepy little cubby hole where we were just hoping for a quick bite of palatable pizza. Server was absolutely not interested in us. Took a few minutes for her to come out of the back and when she did, it was just about bringing menus and grabbing drinks. She wasn't unfriendly or hostile and honestly, I kinda found it refreshing. I wasn't rushed and it didn't feel fake.

We ordered the mozzarella sticks for an app and I couldn't possibly talk those up enough. They're giant chunks of cheese coated in some perfectly seasoned crusty bit and the dipping sauce is uniquely spicy, sweet and packed with flavor. Everything about these cheesy dreams was perfectly made.

We ordered a super boring pepperoni and cheese pizza that wasn't boring at all. We actually ended up getting two, cuz we wanted to share with our friends who never believe us when we say we found a new food that makes us rethink entire food groups. So, yeah, we got two of them. I can't tell u what makes it special, it just is. Don't be afraid of the grease, I think it's part of what makes it great.

Anyway, 3 drinks, an app and 2 large pizzas was less than $50. Parking was good. Wish they had a changing table for my baby but when we changed the diaper in the car, there was a super friendly old dude smoking weed by the dumpster that added a nice little quirk to the atmosphere. He doesn't seem to bite, u can talk to him. Not sure of he's on the payroll or not so your experience at the dumpster may vary.

Already planning...

We were in town and looking for somebody to deliver to our hotel room, so we called these guys. Since we were in Cincinnati, I thought getting the Cincinnatian pizza would be a good choice. Sure it was not your typical pizza, but it sounded good anyway, and I knew I wouldn't be getting a "typical" pizza. However, what I ended up with was unlike anything I could have possibly imagined--and I don't mean that in a good way. The picture I attached should speak somewhat for itself, but let me elaborate. It looked as if somebody had spilled a pot of chili on top of the pizza and slushed it around a bit. But hey, I never judge a book by its cover when it comes to food, so this didn't damper my excitement to try this new food experience too much. The overwhelming smell of cinnamon, however, did. As I was swallowing my first bite, my wife was spitting hers out. Sadly, this was one of the only foods I've ever tried that I wasn't able to eat. Maybe it's just because I'm from out of town and this is what the pizza was supposed to look and taste like, so if that's the case, I apologize. However, if you're not from the Cincinnati area, I would absolutely recommend not ordering this pizza. They also out some sort of what i assumed to be garlic bread in the bag. It consisted of a piece of hard, overly-toasted white bread with a touch of butter. The order of meatballs I ordered was decent, if not a little small-portioned, so because of this and because I want to give this place the benefit of the doubt, I bumped my one...
