Living in New England means being surrounded by gorgeous historic buildings. These old structures, while beautiful, are often left decaying and abandoned. Thankfully there are many entrepreneurs in Rhode Island who find creative ways to re-purpose these historic sites and give them new life. There are few examples as exciting as this historic theater that has recently reopened as a pizza place. I mean, what’s more exciting than great pizza?

The historic Castle Theater was built in 1925 and features two film screens, ample space, and more.
