We stopped here for a quick bit to eat. Food was good. We ordered the chicken parm and turkey sandwich. It wasn't special and it wasn't bad, just ok. I don't know if we'd come back again, but maybe we should have tried the calzones. read more

Food is awesome. Especially knowing there is no fried anything. Breaded anything is not good for anyone. Kim at the bar is awesome! Love this place! read more

Last Friday, 8/14, I called Campanella's because I wanted to eat at their restaurant for lunch with my cousin. I have a rare syndrome/disability where certain types of lighting exacerbates my symptoms. I called the restaurant around noon and asked if I could eat at one of the tables in the bar area because the lighting is much less harsh for my eyes. The girl who answered the phone told me it was no problem. I told her I'd be there at 12:45. When I arrived at 12:45, they had given away both tables at the bar. I told the hostess I had called ahead of time and re-explained my disability. The owner also asked me what the problem was, but refused to accommodate and said there was nothing he could do. I told him I called to ensure I had a seat where I knew I wouldn't be sick, but he still told me there was nothing he could do. I've been eating at Campanella's since they opened. Actually, I've been a patron since the family owned Big Cheese! Well, I left completely disgusted. read more

Stopped in here to grab to-go this past Thursday. I don't order here super frequently, but I do love their pizza and calzones with choices of white, wheat or seven grain dough. They have a take-out only special two-fer deal Tuesday through Thursday - two large cheese pizzas for $14.99 with an additional $1.25 a topping. Makes for a cheap dinner with plenty leftover for lunch the next day. Crust is the thicker variety with a nice crispy underside. The cheese can be a little lean but the other toppings are always generous. I usually do take-out but the dining room is nice with a bar that always has a few people enjoying their meals with a beverage. The bar would make a nice spot for a quick bite before a movie on date night or for a meet-up with a couple of friends. Service can be spotty. The good waitstaff is great, the mediocre staff is, well, mediocre. Take out window is well-run. I stand by the two-fer deal as a great reason to check this place out. read more

Went back a few weeks ago. Took my parents and our children. Again had great drinks, great service and AMAZING food!! My husband and daughter have also been back this week for some take out of pizza and breadsticks!! My youngest thinks your breadsticks are the best thing on earth!! (And I agree!!) read more

The food is consistantly Delicious! The Stuffed Greek is one of my favorites! And the salad dressing is to Die for....Yum! I highly recommend visiting this establishment. The food is always good. read more

Okay, so this is a guilty pleasure that is not very high brow. I really like this place (about 3.5 star) because they will make anything into a calzone and they are not afraid to dump a salad on pizza for the vegi crowd, hand them a fork and tell them to have at it. So I did mean what I said about the Calzon's. They have like 20 on the menu. Then, they will also make any grinder into a calzone. I also saw a huge salad walk by they the waitress pointed out was a pizza. Freeeeeakkkkky. This is not for the RI Italian snob's, this is for the folks that just love to go someplace that has great friendly service, good solid quality food and food bill that will not drain your account. If you are a food snob, move on, if you have an AMEX Gold, head to the other joint on the hill, if you love being treated like dirt, go to the place by the river. If not, they will welcome you in here. read more

Campanella's - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

See all

Met friends for dinner here tonight. They have a great selection of calzones pizzas and Italian style dinners. I selected a chicken tender calzone with roasted red peppers and feta cheese. It was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was Attentive and got our order in a timely manner. It was busy considering it was a Wednesday night. We never felt rushed or lacked attention from our waitress. She kept an eye on us and offered more drinks when she thought we may be ready. The restaurant was clean, and I will definitely return. Nice place to go with family or friends. read more

So everybody in Rhode Island realizes that calzones are part of the basic food groups. Pretty much everywhere you go you can find a tray of party pizzas and calzones. Everyone has their favorite place to get one or the other, and sometimes this has been known to split families( not really) but trying to emphasize how important. calzones are to Rhode Island. So if you haven't guessed this is my go place for calzones, the menu is vast it doesn't have just calzones it has pizza and your other classic American Italian fair but calzones are pretty much the reason I come here. Lots to choose from the menu has like 30, you can add edit and subtract as you like, plus having different types of doughs, so yes you can do whole wheat with broccoli, mushrooms, peppers and onions and be healthy or you can be the opposites and have meatballs, sausage pepperoni and ricotta. Also there House dressing is great, downfall a house salad is way over priced and basically just lettuce, but I love the dressing! Also I saw like other people said if your like me and you like a salad and a calzone do the stuffed Greek it's the best of both worlds! read more

Always good food. Pizza and salads are great along with their delicious bread with honey butter. One of my go to place when in that area

I m from people right off the boat and this place that I ve been drug to through the yrs starting with their old location has to be the worst excuse for Italian I ve had.there are plenty places that don t deliever and this is just another.how are they in business still.the sauce is horrible.I ve tried this and that and never got past the first bite.people love it more power to them.don t know what they ve been eatin but if this is wonderful I m clueless.tried a bite of wifeys lasagna and bite of soup and just can t do it ,sorry .but glad you have a following and wish you continued success. read more

Poor poor quality. Tastes like the food they order is very cheap and made with bad ingredients. Chicken parm isn't even breaded and it tastes old as well as the pasta. Wasn't made fresh, definitely just heated up. Tastes like they don't care. read more

Great meal! Stopped here on my way to Newport and I have zero regrets! Service and food were absolutely amazing!!!! We ordered the Stuffed Greek and we could not have been happier!! read more

Yum! Love getting a salad with a giant flying insect on my crouton! Can't believe they offered another salad or a credit. Ummm like no I don't want to ever go here again. May have to call health department just because that was their solution??? read more

Campanella's - Yum! Can't believe they offered another salad or a credit. Ummm like no I don't want to ever go here again. - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

It's ok... Apparently a spin off of the Big Cheese. But def doesn't even compare. Salad dressing is worse, crust not as good, and the service was poor & slow. If you want my opinion, drive the extra 10 mins to the Big Cheese! read more

The worst pizza place in RI. Nothing about them is good. The wait staff is by far the worst. I ordered a cheese pizza. Simple Right? They gave me it with Pepperoni. I didn't want it. So I told the waitress. She said to me: "can't you take it off?" Don't waist your money. The owners a ass. Don't waste your time there. read more

The chicken parm is not breaded! Who does that??? It's awful - don't order it! The soda is always flat. The salads are awful. The pizza is good and the calzones are good, that's it! The inside needs a make over too. Calzones or Pizza - Don't bother with anything else. read more

I was highly recommended by coworkers to try out this Italian eatery in Cranston. Expecting amazing Italian, my husband and I trekked a pretty good distance to get here. Once here, we concurred on how the location is really poor. It seemed to be in the middle of nowhere on a sad looking street. The decor was extremely bare bones with picnic-style, vinyl-covered tables. We were very underwhelmed by the uninspired menu items as well. They appeared to include garlic bread, pasta, pizza, hot grill sandwiches, and calzones...all basic and nothing gourmet. Almost all of the appetizers were just different variations of garlic bread. We figured that garlic bread must be popular and good here, so we ordered some topped with grilled mushrooms, tomatoes, and melted cheese. Okay.. I must admit that these were delicious! We both ordered wheat calzones with broccoli 'n sausage or chicken 'n sweet peppers, respectively. We appreciated how the calzones weren't too doughy and the bread itself seemed very fresh and thin. The calzones were enormous, though, and could really be split into 2 meals each. Overall, although the menu seemed boring, we were satisfied with our meals. I'm not sure we would ever come here again, though, as the food didn't seem worth the drive. read more

OK, let's level set people's expectations of this place. Campanella's is not a gourmet Italian bistro - not even close. If you go out of your way to eat here expecting white glove service and innovative gastronomy, you are going to be extremely disappointed. If you're looking for an "eatery," you should probably avoid Campanella's altogether. Campanella's is a divey, casual, neighborhood Italian joint. The service ranges from friendly and attentive to surly. The portions are generous, and the food is basic: pizza, pasta, calzones, sandwiches. It's not fancy, not is it particularly healthy. If you're on a gluten-free diet, don't come here. You'll be able to eat the salad (you'll have to pick out the croutons). There's no fancy wine list, or craft beers. Have a Gansett, or the house red wine. All that being said, for what it is, Campanella's is a decent little neighborhood Italian joint. read more

I don't eat in here, but my family and I have been getting takeout for years from Campanella's. This is my favorite pizza in the world. I can't explain why it's so good, but there are spices and a blend of cheese they use that just make this place so unique. The eggplant parm and lasagna are equally as incredible too. My friend's wife makes one of the beat lasagnas around, and her comment was: "I think Campanellas' rivals my lasagna". Now THAT is an endorsement,...trust. I see YELPers complaining about the chicken parm; if you want chicken parm, go to The Post like a real Rhode Islander, son (#shotsfired). For pizza, eggplant parm, and lasagna, I couldn't recommend a better place. The calzones and sausage & rabe are tops as well. When I find out that I only have a week left to live, I'm figuring a way to get takeout from here before that week is up. Campanella's is special. read more

Hit or miss, been here plenty of times we come back for the food. The pizza specifically and garlic bread are great. Drinks are pricey and they do not include refills! It's clean/modern and has a full bar/family seating. Wait staff are iffy depends who you get and the busier it is the more service you get...odd i know. read more

First time here, sat at the bar. Had fabulous and genuinely kind service from Kim. That's what hospitality is about! Bread was yummy, nice fresh salad. Waiting on my sautéed mushrooms right now but Kim says they're good, so I'll trust her! read more

I stopped in here one night last week with the whole family. It was a bitterly cold January night, and as we walked in, the warmth and smells were very welcome. The interior was cozy, reminding me of Uncle Tony's but a half-notch better. Service was amazing. Our waitress was a slightly older grandma-type who certainly knew the menu. She doted on the kids, and her suggestions for entrees were informative. We had a calamari appetizer - other places can sometimes overcook it, making it too rubbery, but here it was just right. We ordered pizza for the kids, half pepperoni and half spinach. It was a surprise hit because sometimes they can be rather finicky with their toppings. The crust was very nice as well. We also ordered a chicken parmesan, which wasn't breaded, but still flavorful and very much enjoyed. The tomato sauce was unique and tasty, almost a prerequisite for a good review because it's sometimes the only distinguishing criteria for Italian restaurants. We finished with a shared dessert, a peanut butter concoction from a Bindy's menu. It was okay but not memorable. I've seen a lot of other negative reviews of this place, but I encountered none of the problems discussed by them; in fact, I experienced the opposite. I'm not one to rave on about Italian restaurants, but this place won me over. read more

Have been to Campanellas many many times. Today was an awful experience. I had the eggplant calzone. I cut it in half and one side had one piece of eggplant. When I showed our waitress she talked to the kitchen, then said the kitchen manager made it herself and there was 4.5 oz., then when I asked to speak to the manager, he didn't come out the kitchen manager did saying she takes pride in her work. I told our waitress Jen, how disappointed we were she told the Owner and Richard we didn't have to come back. Big cheese is up the road read more

This place is on our list of "regulars" It is always a good experience and a great value.

I've been here now half a dozen times between eat in and take out. It is convenient with decent parking and about 25 tables and a full bar. They also have a counter dedicated to take out. I find the food to be basic with one stand out exception. Their bread for their sandwiches is very good. They toast it up and it is crispy on the outside with a soft warm center that soaks up the sauce. The calzones are made from the same dough and are good as well. Beyond that the menu is limited and basic without much innovation. All the appetizers except one are garlic bread based. They always seem to be busy. The service is not great (though Candy does a very good job). Overall, a good value. read more

Everything is always great have been dining here close to once a week since it opened. Mushroom brushetta and antipasto are our family favorites. Pizza and calzones are great too. read more

I visited Campanella's today and I have to say I haven't had a meal like this in a while. I ordered the Pene pasta with a meatball, a basic dish, but it was the best I've had! The bread came with butter that had honey in it. It added a delicious touch to the bread. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a good pasta!! read more

Delicious neighborhood pleasant place Calzones are terrific Other dishes are fine read more

Huge portions and the food is always great! This is usually a lunch time stop for a group of us from the office. I'm glad we stumbled on to this place. The hospitality never disappoints, the wait staff is always attentive and receptive of your needs. I've never been there for dinner but the atmosphere is traditional italian, I always feel welcome. There is a small bar with a decent selection. Definitely worth a try if you've never been. read more

Boy do a I love me some Campanella's. Every time I come here the service is quick and efficient!! So my go to is the stuffed Greek. Basically is a fresh tossed stuffed Greek salad inside of a warm whole wheat pocket. It's honestly the type of things that's pretty healthy but also fills you up for hours. The wedding soup is also to die for!!! Overall campanellas is a great family atmosphere with solid prices and amazing food. read more

I went with a friend because she had long had this on her list of places to try. It was a nice place with a lot of seating. And there certainly seemed to be people coming and going. The food was fine and we both enjoyed it. I did think it was odd when my friend was served a store bought dessert not a home made one and that it was served in the store packaging with the lid removed as opposed to being replated. read more

Good place for pizza, subs, home style Italian food. Had lunch, spinach pie on whole grain dough. Spinach was a little under seasoned for my taste, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper and a dash of salt fixed it. They offer white, wheat and whole grain dough. Accompanying greek salad was a basic salad with mild feta and Greek olives added. Crisp lettice was a plus. Only drawback was Fox news on the bar TV. read more

Went last week while out holiday shopping. Can't believe the lack of management and the chaos in this restaurant. In addition to a forgotten round of drinks and a pasta pizza that came out ICE COLD, my server was basically non existent. As I walked by the kitchen, the chefs were audibly YELLING at other staff members. Tremendously unprofessional. I've never felt so uncomfortable at a restaurant. I will not be back. Management needs to seriously step up their game, or owners need to hire new managers ASAP. read more

Local Italian place. Fantastic pasta with mushrooms and olives. Fresh bread with cinnamon butter is addictive! My husband loves the steak sandwich. Great service always! read more

Good spot for a lunch or casual dinner. Pizza, calzones and salads on menu. Nothing to extravagant, just plain old Italian staples.

We Square Dance on Monday Nites and every 3rd Saturday a short walk from the restaurant at the Oaklawn Grange. This restaurant is very convenient for a dinner out with the fellow dancers before the Square Dances. Also there are many dancers from far away Massachusetts and Connecticut who might frequent the Restaurant. The specials are great and the service is excellent!

Rude and ignorant. My wife and I have been eating here for years. For years we have been told by the staff that my daughter could eat there be they do not use eggs in anything. She finally gets the courage to eat at this place and the owner/manger refuses to serve her. They told her that they do not serve people who have food allergies. Apparently, they discriminate against people with food allergies or they are just too ignorant and uneducated that they cannot figure out a way to accommodate people with allergies. Stay away from this place which is run by ignorant management! We will never go there again and will tell everyone we know to stay away! read more

Liked the pizza's there, but the service not so great. Starting with the cashier who took the tip bucket out of the way when my daughter ( a person of color) was ordering. Then the pizza looked like it was tampered with when they gave it to us. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday and it definitely lived up to the hype. Started with a vegetable soup which was better than any vegetable soup I've ever had. Then we had this melted feta dish with fresh house made bread for dipping. It was AMAZING. For an entree I made my own whole wheat thin crust pizza that really sold me! Overall great experience. I would and will be going back soon! read more
