Found at the center of Providence’s former Jewelry District it was upon finding Timmy’s Legendary Grilled Pizza once again closed that a group of six re-routed to The District, a space self-described as “a pizza fanatics love child” most certainly not.
Opened by Richard Storti in late 2016, a prior career in finance allowing to build a place built to please a workaday crowd as well as those out at night, it was entering through the empty Bar at 2:00pm that a table was offered, the menu largely focused on Sandwiches, Salads and Pizza soon to be found sold out of Meatballs which converted a four plate order into just an Appetizer, Side and Pie.
Playing music a bit too loud, though not uncomfortably so, it was no more than five minutes before re-warmed Knots arrived alongside Tater Tots, the former small and dense though Sauce was fine while the latter was poorly stacked which led to Ketchup tipping over and making quite a mess.
Fairly certain that Tots were also reheated from earlier, the texture crunchy but dry, it was perhaps fifteen minutes later that a simple Margherita arrived tableside, the Dough un-fermented and loaded with Semolina that added color but compromised consistency while Mozzarella was visibly overcooked and added Prosciutto cut too thick.
