Bear Mountain Pizza & Cafe

Honestly, I didn’t like this place at all. There’s a musty, old smell near the entrance — like walking into a dusty attic. The automated ordering system might seem convenient, but the staff is incredibly slow and disorganized. Not all menu items are actually available, which you only find out after placing your order. I ordered a Caesar pizza, and it was honestly a joke — just a Margherita with a handful of Caesar salad tossed on top. On top of that, they brought out the pizza before the drinks, and it turned out my drink wasn’t even available. The staff didn’t know how to process a refund, so I was told I’d either lose my money or have to pick something else instead. This place is a mess. If you’re looking for a quick, smooth experience — or even just basic service — look elsewhere. I definitely won’t be coming back.

Oh my gosh, what a great find after hiking at Bear Mtn! The sunroom was so cute and the "sexy slice" was outstanding.

We attended a hosted event for 40 people. Sat a large party comfortably. Must try, the penne vodka and eggplant rollatini. Sounds odd to comment on, but the salad dressing was refreshing and zesty. Pizza appetizers allowed early and late arriving guests to comfortably get seated before serving dinner. Dessert and coffee station, family raved about the pistachio cream pie, no fake green, spectacularly decedent with coffee. Friendly hosts and servers. Recommend for lunch/dinner and hosted events. Very close and convenient to Thayer Hotel / Base.

Walk in, the entry way is crowded with tables, flies buzzing. Tried to order, no one acknowledged or welcomed my family in. They had an iPad to order on, but a woman walked back behind the counter, also didnt acknowledged us. I asked her if I should order on the iPad or with her, she said give me a minute and order with me. Got a draft beer, it came out with the top 3 inches empty. Normally I wouldve let it slide, but i was charged 11 dollars for this draft. I took it back to the front and the woman apologized and topped it off. Had to fill cups at a water jug myself for the kids. Food came out one pizza at a time. One pizza out, waiting with three hungry kids for the spaghetti, garlic knots, and second pizza. Fifteen minutes go by, no more food. I go up and ask about the food, they acted like they had no idea about it. I reminded them of my order. Another 15 minutes, spaghetti comes. Ten more minutes, garlic knots come. I told them to package the last pizza to go because the kids were out of patience. The waitress never apologized for the long wait or for forgetting the food. The quality and flavor of the food was in my opinion bad, certainly not worth tolerating horrible service. Paper plates, no silverware or salt/parm/pepper on the tables. Minimal effort put into the food and atmosphere and it felt like they intentionally tried to make patrons feel unwelcome.

Looks like the building has been around for a while. Kind of cramped (cozy?). Pizza was delicious.

I found it by accident. DELICIOUS food!! Staff wonderful and Providence is beautiful inside and out!! Best NY thin slice pizza, eggplant rollantini and pistachio gelato. A must do again and again

This was my first time here after passing through Old Oak Inn many times. I thought it was a full service restaurant. Much to my surprise, it is a pizza/restaurant. It wasn't what I was expecting. But since I was there, I decided to grab a bite. We ordered eggplant parm dinner and an eggplant Stromboli. After a short wait, our food was brought to our table. The eggplant parm dinner was ordered with penne pasta, but they gave me spaghetti. Meal tasted OK. I have had much better. Stromboli was decent. One thing that bothered my was the lack of bussing tables. There seemed to be a number of tables left with dirty dishes. As if they did not have enough help to clear it off right after people left. That sort of sends a bad message. Perhaps they need more help but for the amount of customers in there when I went, it was empty. So you kind of have to wonder. Management should be paying attention to the tables and not their cell phones. I don't think I will be returning to check consistency as I can probably guess what to expect.

Great Experience. We order 2 Pizza Kits. That's right. They offer "make it at home" pizza kits. So we made two pies. 1 for the kids and 1 deep dish for us. Splendid. It was like eating pizza at a restaurant. So good.
