Normally, I would never judge a place by its patrons. I understand an establishment can't REALLY control their customers However, this place, like its customers, is cheap (best thing about it) and fraternal.
Let me lay down the situation. Myself (first timer) and a group of 7 friends (almost regulars, mix of men and women) decided to head up to Picassos for trivia and 25cent wings, sounds awesome. We walk in and easily find a table as the bar is about 1/3 to half full. Just inside the door there is a table of 2 guys and, I kid you not they have 7 trivia remotes each. There are no more remotes left for any other patrons, so we ask to use a few. After a solid NO (this was the actual quote from the guy "I spend more here in a year than you make."), we asked the manager on duty to rememdy the situation they say "oh they are regulars" and succeed in getting us only two remotes from the Picassos Bullies.
This was the worst customer service i have ever had. It was uncomfortable and I legit felt bullied by the regulars and they were backed by the establishment.
I will never go back.
The wings, like these "regulars" and the bar management, were cheap and not all that hot.
My boyfriend and I just moved into the neighborhood and decided to try out a local pizza place to find a new favorite. While we found that the pizza was delicious, we couldn't help but notice that the lack of crust in the middle pieces made it a little soggy. We also didn't like the sweet potato fries (overcooked and way too soft) or the spinach pie (too much spinach and olive oil, no seasoning). While we'd most likely get pizza from Picasso's again, next time we're going to skip the sides.
Review Source:I've been coming here for years. It's a sports bar/pizza place/tobacco bar. The food is ok, the beer is ok and the service is ok. If you expect some kind of crazy spectacular experience from this place other than freaking out on a football game or UFC fight it's not gonna happen. I personally think it's pretty good! I like the vegetarian pizza and the nachos. Good place to come hang out with the guys for a pint and a pizza. Good crowd and good people.
Review Source:We ordered 2 large pepperoni pizzas from Picasso's for a housewarming party. The person that took my credit card over the phone said I gave him the wrong number. Alright... That irritated me but I let it slide. I ate a couple of slices and ending up in the bathroom for a good 30 minutes. Not sure if it was the grease or what, but my body hated me afterwards. If Domino's burned down I would probably order from here again. But probably not.
Review Source:I don't eat in at Picasso's very often. The atmosphere is a typical divey bar/pizza point. They have pool tables, a bar, high top tables and a ton of tvs. I've heard its a good place to go to watch sports, but I have no interest in that.
The pizza however is the best in Warwick! (At least in this area of Warwick) The crust is thick and crispy and the cheese is always nice and brown. My favorite pizza is the vegetarian. It's a white pizza with eggplant, broccoli, spinach, diced tomato, onions...fabulous! Their traditional red pizzas are also great. Good sauce. Their wings are also pretty yummy. The only other thing I have is a calzone, which I was not impressed with. The pizza crust is what makes them so good in my opinion and the calzone definitely left something to be desired.
If you're not into a loud bar type pizza joint, get take out. And I recommend picking it up yourself as delivery always seems to be a 45 minute wait where pick up is only about 20-25. Unless they're busy. Obviously....
the food is great. pizza rocks chicken wings are the best in town..... however the service is completely atrocious. went there for Monday Night Football. it was not that crowded. however they only had 1 service person. it took over 2 hours to get a picture of beer and 2 orders of chicken wings. if the food wasn't as good I would never ever ever ever go there again service is terrible.
Review Source:Nothing special here. The atmosphere is confused. Are you a sports bar? Karaoke bar? Salvation Army art gallery? Don't know. We ordered the buff chx fingers, they were fine. Try screwing that up and you may have deeper issues. I ordered the steak sandwich. The steak had very little flavor which made me grateful I ordered it with onions. I know it is a pizza place so next time we will order one and see.
One plus = High Life in a cold bottle.
A not bad dive. Decent drink specials, pizza was good and I had a house salad which was more worthy than most restaurants. It was loaded w veggies! The crowd was ecclectic, I went after derby practice so me and the girls were all sweaty, then I saw some ppl who just played some softball, some cugars, and a guy who might have been drugged up. We were quite the crew!
Review Source:Not sure if this is called picasso's pizza or picasso's pizza and pub but I will review it anyhow. The best thing I can say about the place is that the tables are clean. The food was Eh at best. I had a spinach pie with cheese and pepperoni- The spinach tasted frozen and at the same time the pepperoni was way to salty and scarce.
I've gotten take-out from there before when in a bind and the food was at best 3 stars, not so good when you sit and have your order taken. The beer was decently priced and perhaps I would visit for the bar they have a good amount of tv's other than that no. Don't plan on getting great food, and do not plan on have a great waitstaff there was only the bar-tender taking orders.
I usually tend to give places the benefit of the doubt when rating. Â This was the first 1-star I think have ever given.
I had this place at 4+ stars the first 8 minutes we were there. The bartender/waitress came over and greeting the 2 of us quickly and provided menues, cleaned the table, and took our drink & food order.
The nachos & wings came out in an average time but she only brought us two napkins....not nearly enough for gnawing on an order of wings. Upon request we got a big stack....no big deal but the start of a trend of things going downhill.
We came to this place specifically to watch an out of market college football game. They have 5 big tvs, with a rather large one above the bar making 6. The tables along the walls had smaller Tvs on them to allow you to have more than one game in view.....nice touch. The issue with all of the TVs (except for the huge one above the bar) was they are not formatted right and you only getting 75% of the broadcast...so with football you only get half of the score/status graphic....you don't lose a lot but it is frustrating.
Half way through our game the manager (owner?) came over and decided he was going to change the channel of the TV we were watching. Now, with us, there were 7 people in the bar total...and we were the only people sitting at a table. I am not sure why he decided ours needed to be on a different channel. We told him we were watching the game and he moved on....the whole thing was perplexing.
Although everyone there was watching some football or baseball game, they decided it would be better to play the 70s top 100....louder than necessary. Again, not a huge deal but just makes me wonder.
Here are the two reasons I will never go back:
In the middle of the 3rd Quarter of our game the bartender comes over and says she is going to cash us out. I know this is standard when the shifts change so I had no issue with it....I gave her a good tip because the service was decent UP UNTIL THIS POINT.
Come to find out, she never left. She worked behind the bar for another hour when we decided to go. SHE NEVER CAME BACK AND ASKED US IF WE NEEDED ANYTHING. I was drinking at a reasonable pace and would have had several more. Apparently she decided we were done and didn't need to serve us anymore. We were not drunk, loud, or obnoxious. Â I wish I could have asked for my tip back. Â I have never been cut off sober before.
The 5 locals sitting at the bar were the loudest group of 5 people I have ever heard. They weren't cheering on their teams....they were yelling at each other, being over-dramatic about everything, and just obnoxious. Â It kept getting worse as the bartender who wouldn't serve us was happy to keep their glasses full when it was obvious they should be cut off, especially since they were driving.
The food was pretty good and the prices were great. It could be a good place to watch sports...maybe you just need a bigger group for them to care.

trivia
A large pizza/sports bar type place. A couple of my friends dragged me here to play trivia one night and I was surprised at how nice it was inside. Huge wide screen televisions everywhere you look, so I ended up watching a Celtic game while I was playing trivia. Plus they had pool tables and a little basketball shooting machine in the corner. Lots of entertainment.
We ended up getting pizza and it turned out to be quite good. The waitress did screw up our drink orders on one occasion but that's all right, she was very nice about it. Â Picasso's is an entertaining place with some pretty decent food.
This is probably my toughest review to write so far...because this place really has two different crowds and thus is like two different places. Go in on a Sunday afternoon during football season,during any Yankees- Red Sox game and there is probably no better sports bar in RI. Plasma screens everywhere carrying every game,good food at reasonable prices, pool tables an x box for customers to play with,Buzztime trivia...they really have everything you want. the crowd is a mix from 21 to 50's with some families during the afternoons...that's the good.Then you go in some nights...the crowd is 21-25 and the servers seem more intent on making money than being responsible...serving people until they get sloppy...i've witnessed more than a few scuffles of people with "beer muscles". I really wanted to rank this place higher...but let's put it this way...during the day this place is a great pub...at night it's a bar...and those of us who have been around know the difference.
