When I introduce people to Il Forno Italiano Restaurant, I usually start by saying it’s one of those pizza spots that instantly feels approachable, warm, and easy to enjoy. Located right at 372 Thames St, Newport, RI 02840, United States, Il Forno Italiano fits perfectly into the energy of the area while still standing out for its laid-back charm. The moment you think about Il Forno Italiano, the idea of comfort food naturally comes to mind, especially if you’re in the mood for a satisfying pizza restaurant experience that doesn’t try too hard to be fancy. It’s the kind of place where grabbing a quick bite feels just as right as settling in for a relaxed dine-in meal. What makes Il Forno Italiano especially appealing is how flexible it is for different lifestyles and schedules. Whether you prefer no-contact delivery, standard delivery, takeaway, or on-site dining, the options are there without any hassle. At the same time, the menu speaks to a wide audience, offering vegetarian options alongside halal food, which makes it easy for groups with mixed preferences to enjoy a meal together. Late-night food is also part of the appeal, so it works well when hunger hits after hours and you want something filling but familiar. Small plates are available if you’re more in the mood to sample rather than commit to a full meal, while quick bites make it a practical stop during a busy day in Newport. I often describe Il Forno Italiano as the type of place that understands everyday cravings and delivers exactly what you expect, without overcomplicating things. The atmosphere matches that idea too, keeping everything casual and welcoming rather than stiff or rushed. For anyone looking to enjoy good pizza, reliable service options, and a menu built around comfort and convenience, Il Forno Italiano feels like a natural choice that blends smoothly into the rhythm of the neighborhood.

Had the 10” pizza pie, 1/2 cheese-half pepperoni .Not bad at all. Served hot, crust just slightly soft. CASH ONLY! Bathroom could use a little refresh.
These boys deserve better reviews! My husband and I like thin crust pizza and boy did they deliver with a nice slice of pepperoni (not pictured, I snarfed it). We also ordered the meatballs with garlic bread app to go (pictured) which was divine. The gentleman handling the cash register had to deal with drunk walk ins and phone orders, so I give them a lot of credit for maintaining decorum while delivering a solid product. Would definitely visit again!
We had an urge for a pizza while walking and decided to try this place. I have to say our pizza was just the way we had hoped for. Thin and crispy crust with fresh cut basil. It was delicious. We got a fresh made salad as well. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. I’m glad we had cash on us as they are currently ‘cash only’. It’s a great little place for a nice meal and you can watch their big screen tv while enjoying your meal!
