I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet!…read more I used to live right up the street so I went here all the time- my favorite thing being the chicken shawarma that came with delicious fries, pickles, and garlic sauce. I also love the fattoush salad- so flavorful! All of the meats (kaza maza mix), rice, hummus, mutabal, etc. were absolutely fantastic...this place was perfect for a feast. The interior is nice and cozy but I always got takeout- pro tip: order ahead and give ample time for your order. Parking is limited as well, but service was always friendly- highly recommend if you are in the area...or even if you are not!

We got the meatball and potato pizzas and thought both were delicious. They tasted very fresh and the quantity of toppings didn't weigh the pizza down, it just provided flavor.

I went to Anna's tonight after my friend Katie Martin told me there was going to be two of my…read morefavorite foods: pizza and oysters. I had only heard good things about Anna's from other pizza lovers in the state so I took the opportunity to go and try it for myself. Anna's sits on the corner of Doyle and Camp in the east side of Providence. I remember only 15 years ago I could hear gunshots from Camp when I dated a guy who lived near the observatory. Nowadays, the only shots were the sample shots of wine we got to try from Westport Rivers Vineyard as I waited for my pizza to cook. While I loved the smaller, classic menu, I was there for one thing - the Rockefeller. The oysters are blended with kale and cream to create the sauce and they finish with with fine provolone cheese, bits of kale and parma crunch. My cashier was super friendly and before long my order was on it's way into the oven. The guys making the pies were kind enough to let me photograph them as well! As I waited, I checked out the place, it was bustling for a Thursday at 5 and although there was plenty of seating along the windows, I'm not sure about dine in tables. To be fair, it was a special event so it may have a different set up on other days. Super clean lines and a retro vibe that I liked overall. This pizza was heavenly. The oyster flavor was there, but it wasn't overwhelming. It paired well with the cream, and the kale in the sauce bubbled up like pesto. Savory, salty with big umami tastes that a RI oyster brings to the table. The crust was golden and soft, chewy without breaking your jaw. The kale garnish baked up crunchy in the high heat of the oven in contrast to the softness of the crust. Did it taste like an oyster rockefeller? Kinda but not really. However, was it a delicious pie? 100% yes. 10/10 would order again. I loved trying oysters this way, I think it was a brilliant concept even if the execution didn't pay out exactly as hoped. After the pizza my night got even better when Katie served me her Oysters Puglia - stracciatella cheese (the soft inside of burrata), trout roe and osetra caviar, a splash of sparkling wine from Westport Rivers and freshly cracked black pepper. Words cannot describe how good these were. You get the full taste of the oyster and combined with the other components, sang a symphony so fantastic I had to close my eyes to savor every moment. I only had two, but I wish I had a dozen. I feel blessed she is my friend because that means I can convince her to make these for me in the future While Katie was only there for tonight, Anna's is there year round. I'm glad I capitalized on the opportunity to go, it's about 10 minutes from my place, so you can guarantee I'll be back again soon!

Nobody ordered their own thing, it all just went in the middle and we figured it out from there. That's the kind of meal it was. Great food, great friends, and a table full of plates that kept the conversation going all night. The fattoush was fresh and crisp, the grape leaves were the real deal, and the lamb chops were insanely good. The family that owns this place actually cares. You feel it in the food and you feel it in the way the staff treats you, like they want you to leave happy, not just full. That's not an accident, that's a family that takes pride in what they put out. If you're going with a group, go hungry and order a little bit of everything.

My gyro wrap was coated with tzatziki sauce inside the wrap, with a lot of lettuce and gyro meat not off a skewer (yes, there is a difference). I also bought a chocolate chip cookie, which was massive. Still, it was tasty.
