Papa Joe’s Wrap Shack

I have been coming here for ages. I bring my kids here regularly for their wraps and pizzas. The food is consistently good and reasonably priced. The key thing to know is that everything is made to order in a small so it can take a bit longer during the busy times.
The wrap names need translations because the names are not obvious as to what’s in them. The Bristolian is my favorite (fried calamari wrap), followed by Harley Quinn (steak and rice wrap), and then perhaps the Med (artichoke heart, olives, etc., Mediterranean inspired wrap) is also excellent.
The décor has not changed much since it opened more than 10 years ago with funky, eclectic collection of Star Trek, heavy metal, Arnold Schwarzenegger clippings all over the walls. Sort of a throw back to the 80’s and 90’s.

Best pizza in Bristol hands down. You want fake chicken or brown lettuce go eat at dominoes or classic.

This hands down is the best pizza in the East Bay. Thin crust, delicious sauce, cheese etc.

We decided to check this hole-​in-​the-​wall joint out one night since it had some pretty good reviews on Unilocal.One of the reviews mentioned a lasagna wrap, so I knew I wanted to try that out. We were greeted by some very friendly staff who enjoyed the metal and rock music. The restaurant itself felt so home-​y and you knew they were in it for the food and the customers rather than the money.
We ordered the Jalapeño poppers and a lasagna wrap to see what it’s all about. I noticed they also served pizza (thin crust) and it looked pretty good too! Next time, I’ll have to try that out. The Jalapeño poppers were good, the only bad thing was every bite we took ended up oozing all the cream cheese out, so most of the time I was left with just a jalapeño and breading. They also served this with some creamy sauce, which was good! The lasagna wrap was really good too! Not what I was expecting. They used a flour tortilla wrap and wrapped all the ingredients that would make up lasagna (including the noodles). The meat ball (or meat loaf) tasted really good and was my favorite part of it. The portions are decent, but will definitely fill you up since there’s a lot of starch.
I’m glad we decided to check this spot out! I’ll definitely be back again for their pizza!

Super friendly staff, cute older joint with a counter and a few tables. Lots of character.
The two wraps that we tried were good, but that’s it. Bizarre wrap combinations work better in theory than in execution.
Would for sure try them again.

One of the people that works there is extremely rude and screamed at me on the phone when i called to ask why it was taking over an hour to deliver my food. I told him that he shouldn’t speak to customers that way and he responded by saying «i can treat customers however i feel like». Never coming back here again, its a shame too because the food is good.

We order from here all the time and they have never disappointed. The only reason Im giving it a 4 out of 5 stars is due to the price per food ratio. Its lacking a little.
With that said the wraps here are amazing! Try the signature wrap the bristolian!

Just moved to Bristol and a friend told me to try their pizza. Ordered delivery a couple of times and it’s been AMAZING every time!

Very good Lasagna wrap. I wish they had a create your own wrap although you can customize (I think). I think a BBQ Bacon Wrap would be a big hit.

Great little gem. Affordable prices with great food. Husband had the chorizo wrap which was amazing. I went vegetarian with the gorgonzola pear wrap. The pizza slices were tasty and the fries cooked to perfect consistency. The owners rock out to old metal while they cook which ups the friendly vibe.

Get the Bristolian if you like calamari! Also order ahead as they get baked up around lunchtime.

Found this place online while driving around RI for the day. It’s a tiny hole in the wall run by a few young guys that do a terrific job of making excellent and unusual wraps. We both shared the lasagna wrap, never had lasagna in a wrap before and this was soooooooooo delicious. We will stop in again if we are in the area.

Fantastic service — always makes you feel like a regular, great prices too. AWESOME food, my favorite is the med wrap and both kinds of fries are delicious!

I heard about the Wrap Shack from college kids. I tried it and was hooked in a New York Minute. The Bristolian is to die for.

I really want to love this place, but to be honest they keep letting me down. With small places like this, I go generally a dozen times to get a good idea of how they operate and well, make food.
The major complaint I have is that their kitchen is slow and seemingly unorganized or uncaring. Of the dozen times I have ordered for pick up, 4 or so of the times they have waited to start my order when I arrive to pick it up. For a pizza it ends up being an hour plus wait. They told me 40 minutes on the phone. After being thoroughly annoyed multiple times, I decided to get my pizza delivered because I was tired of going there and waiting (why not wait at home?). Well, turns out that time it took an hour an half to get the pizza to my place. I even got a phone call about 40 minutes in saying it would be about another 10, and then I got another call (they were calling me???). After complaining to my friends who visit there a lot, I hear that the staff don’t like people who order for delivery in the downtown area and they apparently don’t take care in making those orders either (I will admit I live in the downtown area and asked for delivery, lazy, but I had reasons as described above). This bothers me, because why offer a delivery to the downtown area (or one at all for that mater) if it ruffles your feathers?
Like I said, this is the major issue. The food is not bad and I love the variety of wraps, but their food is not good enough to motivate me to go through what you have to to get food.

I’ve never heard of a «Wrap Shack» before, and I’m pretty sure Papa Joe just made it up. Conveniently located on a street corner with a surprising amount of available parking, Papa Joe’s Wrap Shack is an interesting alternative to the local cuisine.
This place looks like an olde time ice cream parlor flipped upside down to a classic-​rock-​vibe delicatessen. The walls are placated with the most obscure 80s memorabilia, foreign currency, and family photos. Wrestlers, rock stars, ninja turtles, monsters, and aliens are among a few interesting sights that compliment the off white/​mustard yellow color palette. Guests can tell they didn’t hire an interior designer while still knowing a lot of heart went into making this place a comfortable hang-​out for the customers and (especially) the employees (queue: Weezer — In The Garage). [Some] Employees, who I might add, seem unapproachable and deeply pessimistic on the outside, but manage to give quality customer service.
The menu offers quite a few options you probably won’t find anywhere else. The first few times I ordered off the vegetarian wrap section. Where this place really shines, though, is their NY style pizza. My wife and friends are self-​proclaimed pie connoisseurs from the wolf-​like shadow, so I was a bit anxious to present the local pizza place. However, Papa Joe’s certainly delivered! Pun intended. A good-​sized pie, crispy crust that’s not too tough, and a satisfactory layer of cheese swirled with tomato sauce. Do yourself a favor and get this pizza! On par with Providence favorites (Antonio’s, Fellini, Nice Slice, Pier, etc.), in my opinion.
While Bristol/​Warren is home to some of the most trendy eateries in RI, Papa Joes Wrap Shack shakes it up with their classic 80s vibes. Party on, Joe.

Two words… Southern Gravity! My husband and I love Papa Joes! I always get the Southern Gravity wrap and my husband always get the Kung Pao Chicken wrap but I have tried most of them and they are all delicious! They also have pizza… the Southern Gravity pizza is phenomenal. Plus they are always quick when you order. The wraps are unique and tasty and the prices are great. The restaurant is small inside but there are a few tables and a counter that you can eat at. They also have delivery available if you prefer to eat at home. The vibe inside is cool and laid back and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. We definitely recommend eating here!

When I take my first bite of Papa Joe’s pizza absolutely everything else no longer matters. It all just vanishes.
It doesn’t matter what kind of day it is. It doesn’t matter that the angry rain is meddling with my mood. It doesn’t matter that finals week is approaching. And it doesn’t matter that this is the first thing I’ve had a chance to eat all day. Because it makes it all so very worth it.
I’ve eaten at this restaurant twice and brought take-​out home three times since moving to Bristol in September. My husband and I switch between our two favorites: 1 large with pineapple, or 1 large with olives and tomatoes. (We are vegetarian)
The restaurant claims to make Rhode Island style wraps and New York style pizza. I can’t really attest to the wraps, but as a NY native I can honestly say this pizza does NY justice.
Every single bite makes me feel as if I am in Heaven. The sauce is sweet and tangy. The crust is actually edible, which is something I personally can’t say about many pizzerias in Rhode Island. The cheese is perfectly proportionate to the sauce.
At other pizzerias my husband and I can go through a large pizza like it’s nothing. Here we eat 2 slices each and then need to pass out. It’s a lot of food for the price. We always have lunch ready the next day too, so for us it’s 2 meals for the price as well.
The people who work there are very laid back, but also very friendly.
I recommend this place. And if you decide to not eat here, just know you’re making the biggest mistake of your life.

Not just wraps, but pizza too! I love that you can order any speciality pizza as a slice. I got the Primavera slice yesterday and it was AWESOME — breaded eggplant, peppers, broccoli, scallions, all in nice bite size pieces. This one takes a while to make, but I phoned it in ahead of time so it was ready when I got there.
They also have an mac and cheese wrap, which is pretty much just Kraft easy mac in a tortilla, but sometimes that is what I need! Salads are good too, I had the asian salad yesterday and it was yummy. Prices are super reasonable.
The place is pretty tiny, but on a nice day I just take my food across the street to park and sit by the water. Perfection!

I had never visited Papa Joe’s Wrap Shack even though I have been driving by it for years now. I finally decided to stop in and the staff was courteous and knowledgeable about food allergies, which was greatly appreciated. Although the service was a little slow the wraps we received were great. We ordered the Med and the Southern Gravity and were not disappointed. The warm tortilla chips on the side were a nice touch too. For two burritos and a soda it was under $ 20 so it was a great place to stop and eat for people who are under a budget. I would definitely come back and try their other menu options.
