I grew up with bakery pizza around Boston in the 80s and 90s, however the kind with cheese. It was some of the best pizza in the world.

I've been more inclined to "red pizza" the past years as I notice cheese hasn't been siting too well with me like it used to.

I was happy to find out Providence is big on "red pizza" or pizza strips as I found out they're called. Providence and South Philadelphia are the only 2 places that I know of where this style of red square is popular (for South Philly, my favorite is Sarcone's).

What is your list (in order) of favorite red pizza in R.I.?

In high school, me and my buddies are looking for the best and scariest haunted house attraction, if anyone has any suggestions that would be great:)

We’ve somehow had a past due bill that’s been paid twice now with two confirmation emails and the money has been taken from our account. Now we’ve been on the phone trying to figure this out. They promised to fix this last week and it’s been such a hassle. Does anyone else have severe issues with them?

Trying to plan my RI nostalgia trip with my twin. We’ll be staying in East Greenwich and hope to get a good list of restaurants-breakfast/lunch and dinner. Thanks!

My twin and I are coming to RI for a nostalgia tour. We left in 1978 and although I’ve been back, my twin has not. I was already sad to see that Solitro’s bakery has closed and that was a place we definitely wanted to go to. I remember my mom (who passed away last year) used to buy raviolis on Federal Hill back in the day. I was just a kid so I didn’t pay attention to where it was or the name. So asking for recommendations for great markets where we could by raviolis and sauce for old time’s sake.

I used to be a frequent user of this section. Are there any safety concerns?

Hi everyone! Looking for a place to have a fall beach bonfire with my partner. We usually go to Camp Cronin Fishing Area by Point Judith and have seen people having bonfires there, but I wasn’t sure if you need a permit for them. And if so, how do I obtain one and what is the waiting period to receive it? Much thanks in advance!

Never learned much about local elections, I have no idea how to find out who’s running and what they represent.

Who are you voting for in the local elections and why?

Hello all, I’ll be driving through RI with my family tomorrow morning (New Haven to Boston). Please drop your recommendations on some good breakfast spots with a good number of vegetarian or vegan options. Better if they are in Providence.

Thanks in advance!

I am picking up family members from Logan and tbh I haven’t driven there in 5 years. I am so worried about the traffic condition and the logistics of coming and going. I don’t drive a lot and barely leaves the state. Last time I drove there, I missed the exit and my car GPS kept making me loop due to not recognizing the new traffic flow.

Any guidance to make it easy for this anxious driver would help. Thanks!

Progressive Insurance. 30 M living in Western RI.

No accidents or tickets ever (knock on wood). No claims ever. Insured and licensed since 16.

Currently paying $130/mo, which was an increase from $122 last period. Switched from Geico to Progressive in 2021. When I switched, my rate was just $66/mo. It's more than doubled in three years despite nothing changing except for the kind of car I drive (from a Toyota RAV4 to a Subaru Forester).

Anytime I run quotes, it's even more money than Progressive. Amica quoted me $240/mo (!!!). I do everything right by not driving like an idiot, but I still have to pay more and more every renewal period. Does everyone else have this issue?

Good afternoon! I’m reaching out for some recommendations for tattoo artists in Rhode Island (or if you have an awesome recommendation to a close state). I want someone who is really awesome with thick black tattoos (I’m not into color). I’m open to any style, my current tattoo artist is a great guy but some of his work recently has been coming out not so good on other people so I’m worried about future appts. Thanks so much 🖤

I was reading through a voter information pamphlet and noticed the first question about a constitutional convention being called. I tried looking into it based on some online articles but there’s no explicit mention of who’s calling for one and why they want it beyond your standard politician talk of it being needed or what not.

I mean having one seems cool but it also seems out of the blue to call one since to my knowledge, there hasn’t been a major issue that would put us in need of a convention.

Anyone know who or why there’s a call for one? Or at least really streamline the reasoning without the political wording of the coalitions for/against it?

Edit: Answered.

Hi everyone,

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up soon, and I’m looking for recommendations for restaurants that serve high-quality Wagyu steak. If anyone knows of great places in Rhode Island or Massachusetts, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I work in the coventry area and I am just so disheartened in regards to how little healthy food choices there are to eat and I don’t always have the time to make my own lunch.

I’m just looking for something as plain as plain chicken and rice/ healthy carb. Like a chicken bowl of sorts.

Thanks

Fiancé and I live in Charlestown.. looking for cute towns to walk around - cafes, bars, farms we can visit etc. I know that’s pretty vague but it’s tough to find ideas with minimal criteria.😊

Needs to be safe, secure and dry. Even a garage could work. The noise level won’t be super loud. I work with video projection and music. 500-800 sqft or thereabouts. Can’t go above $500/mo and a 2-3 month rental is ideal, but would consider longer term. Thanks, Reddit!

Does anyone know of any alternatives to Amtrak? I plan on traveling to New Haven, CT from Providence at least once a week, and when I plan ahead, it's not horrible, but that's not always possible, and $100+ each trip adds up quick. I'd like to figure out any alternatives as a back up plan if possible!
