On September 30, 2015, Providence Journal food editor Gail Ciampa reviewed Christopher Dolos’ Greek pizza restaurant, Pizza Heaven: “Not thin like New York style, nor thick as Sicilian pizza, Greek pizza is somewhere in the middle. It’s familiar, comforting, and always available... Pizza Heaven owner Chris Dolos (a middle school science teacher by day) is creating some pizzas that excel by offering different toppings. The secret here is the crust, made with King Arthur flour; and the cheeses, cheddar and mozzarella, are freshly grated. If you are in the area please check out Pizza Heaven, 2554 South County Trail, East Greenwich. pizzaheavenri.com.”

Jane Messier : “This May I graduated with a Ph.D. in communication disorders from Florida State University. My line of research is language and literacy development in children with hearing loss. For my dissertation, I created a vocabulary intervention using electronic storybooks for children with cochlear implants. This study has been presented in national and international conferences and will be published in a journal within my field. In September, I will be starting my second year as an assistant professor at Edinboro University. Fun times!”
