    On a quest for the best wings, my journey brought me here to Maria's. A humble spot that has you feeling like it's been here a while. Adorable but kitchy pizza signs decorate the walls and stacks of Pepsi products surround you. Walk up counter service here, but there's a few tables to sit and enjoy your food. We got a large pepperoni pizza and Thai peanut wings. The pizza was a solid pie. Nice sauce, good cheese, crust is chewy but still a little crispy. Above average for what you find in the state. The wings were decent. They were fried hard enough to get that snap you need in a breadless wing. They're not a jumbo wing by any means but you don't feel like they're scrawny. The sauce was good but pretty basic to me. With a few tweaks I think it could be excellent! I would get their wings again but try a more traditional sauce to see how they compare. I didn't get any ranch or blue cheese with it so if you like your dips, make sure to ask when ordering. I've been here a few times now and each time I leave satisfied. It's on my list of spots in Cranston permanently. I came here because of the RI Food Fights event: Lord of the Wings

    half onion and half broccoli and onion
    Maria M.

    Truly thin crust which is hard to find around here! We got half cheese and onion and half broccoli (for the vegetarian in my life). It was pretty good although it was kinda cold by the time we ate it (not Maria's fault). My boyfriend wished the crust were a little more crispy. All in all a true thin crust pizza. I will be back to try more exciting toppings next time and eat it while it's still hot!

    RI Food Fights Wings Review: This is your typical neighborhood pizza store. We ordered the spicy garlic wings. Way more spicy than garlic. My taste buds wouldn't allow me to eat a second. Pretty on par for pizza place wings.

    Loaded Tots
    Karla M.

    First time coming here. I came with a few friends and let them decide on the food we'd eat. We ended up getting a small bacon pizza and loaded tater tots. These wouldn't have been my first options since from previous experience at other places, bacon on pizza is usually undercooked and tots can have a freezer taste. None of these were true for this place. The small bacon pizza is a good portion for sharing with one other person if you're looking to get 60% full or by yourself for a full meal and maybe feel a bit stuffed (results may vary). The cheese is good. There isn't too much sauce where other toppings are clouded. The crust is perfectly crunchy but soft. And, best part was the crispy flavorful bacon. The loaded tots were all really good. They had nacho cheese and a healthy (or rather unhealthy) amount of bacon. Simple but great flavor. Prices here are reasonable and they have a good amount of options on the menu, with some unique items that I would want to try next. The food came out at a reasonable pace and the workers are friendly and patient. There's plenty of indoor seating with a clean environment. There's a parking lot which is good but my only observation was that the handicapped parking is poorly placed where if someone is parked in the spot next to it, the handicapped car can't physically get in or out.

    Stop #9 on RI FOOD FIGHTS 11th Annual Lord of the Pies!!! Good for a cheese pizza and add toppings at your desire... I got a cheese pizza with roasted red peppers, green peppers and mushrooms... And an incredible chocolate walnut brownie! They were fast friendly and will definitely be back in order pizza on the go while I'm out driving!

    Solid underside

    Stopped in here Saturday in an attempt to circumvent and avoid the Elmwood Ave traffic jam on 95N. Nothing too special about their small cheese, it's your standard strip plaza pizza. Heavy on the sauce and piping hot (give it some time to cool off!) it's not bad but it's not great either. What I'd call a college student late night pie for sure

    You can call ahead or place an order online for delivery, pick up, or eating at the restaurant. The person I spoke with over the phone was so nice and answered my questions as I was placing the order. He had everything packaged up and ready to go when we arrived and was very pleasant. We wanted to try both their pizza and wings so we ordered a large pizza and two orders of wings (teriyaki and Thai peanut) The pizza looked amazing and tasted great and we liked that they cut a round pizza into many smaller squares - a perfect size for the kids! The wings were juicy and they were generous with the sauces. They offer 15 different sauce options and the two we tried were very good. We also ordered a large Italian grinder, which came toasted - yum! Based on our experience today, we would definitely recommend this place.

    Sweet and spicy chicken Wings

    On Google this pizza joint shows up as a convenience store so I thought there was a kitchen in the back... which would be okay, but Maria's is right next door in a small lot right on Pontiac Ave in Cranston about a half a mile from Sockanosset intersection. Although I didn't stay there to eat I could have: 2 big TVs and smelled like pizza. I ordered their most popular spicy and sweet wings using my #RIFoodFight #LordoftheWings passport. Wings were crunchy and good size. Mostly drummies. The sauce was on point with a good kick and sugary sweetness, but since the meaty wings were nicely sauce tossed no need for extra sauce and the pool the wings bathed in. The wings weren't dry, they were cooked perfectly but a little too fried for my taste.

    We were delivered soggy undercooked fries. A small cheese pizza shouldn't be that hard to make. They put way too much cheese on the pizza and also undercooked the dough. The delivery guy let the pizza slide or sit at an angle so half of the cheese slid down the pizza. We got mozzarella sticks that weren't bad, but they had the marinara free floating in the bag so that ended up on the floor and made a mess. I wanted to give someone else a shot for pizza, these guys will not be on my list.

The meat is sooooo juicy, tender and flavorful! Next would be obviously their pizza and their salad! (please note: their salads is topped to the BRIM! And if good enough to share with 2-3 people) Depending on the day in the mood would determine which pizza I get my top 3 are/ Gold digger, the San Genaro, and the Marilyn Monroe/Fign' a (I can't decide LOL) don't let the commotion of Rolfe square Seder you from visiting, there is plenty of parking in the back, the restaurant is such a vibe with the decor (learn some Italian LOL) and hilarious placemats. And lastly, what I think is so cool and unique about this place is their Themed Weekend specials! They always have fun drinks and witty names for the items. Oh and don't forget to swing by the dessert case on your way out- they have LEMON TIRAMISU!!!! You heard right! LEMON TIRAMISU!!

The pizza was only $20, which I thought was a pretty reasonable price. They only offer one size, which I'd say is around a large, although maybe just a little smaller than a typical large. It wasn't a huge difference, but I do wish they offered a smaller size as an option. I was going to add honey to the pizza, but it was an additional $4, which I thought was a little much for just a drizzle of honey, so I skipped it. I also noticed they don't open until 4:30, at least yesterday, so I wish they opened a little earlier. I completely understand that they're more of a dinner spot, though. Overall, it's a great spot with really good pizza and a reasonable price. I'd definitely come back!

My go to order is the baked chicken salad with the house dressing and a large pepperoni (extra pepperoni) extra sauce with cheese- WELL DONE. Trust me when I tell you my pizza order always comes out consistently delicious! I also love how they slice the large pizza ( in squares kinda) & every bite just makes sense! And I normally don't eat pizza crust, but I will devour every single piece of pizza from the big cheese. I never dined in before, but my takeout experience has always been positive. They always pick up the phone with no hesitation in my order is usually ready a few minutes before they say it's ready.

    This place is great ... you can tell not too much has changed since the 1970's and unintentional…read moreretro/vintage is my thing. This place could be so perfect with only a couple small changes! - There are white flourescent style lights on the ceiling. This really kills the vibe. It's almost like the top of the restaurant and the bottom don't match. You have cozy, 70's style wood paneling with dark wooden booths and stained glass lights hanging over the tables. Warm, cozy and intimate. Then, bright white lights above. I'd love to eat here with those bright lights turned off sometime. - Probably not economical but red checkered tablecloths, like vintage Italian restaurants used to have would make this place look like a movie set in a good way. That being said, everything else about this place is cool ... you know a good spot by how many regulars are there and everyone seemed to know everyone else by name on a Tuesday night. It wasn't crowded ... but it wasn't empty on an off-night. - The staff is exceptionally good. The waitress and hostess couldn't have been any sweeter and more helpful. Fast refills on the soft drinks and helpful without being intrusive. - The pizza is good. I have to admit, I am not sold on the cheddar cheese vs. mozzarella. I thought it would give the cheese an interesting, sharper taste but it seemed a bit bland. I will do the Italian-style next time with mozzarella. I liked my pizza but there was just something different about it. The crust is Greek-style ... kind of like the old Pizza Hut, when it was actually made fresh. Back in the 1980's and 90's there was nothing better than a golden, buttery light and crisp pizza crust from Pizza Hut, before the brand went to shit. This reminds me of that goodness of 1980's pizza crust. I'm not a thin crust guy ... but if you are, they have a thinner crust on the menu as well. Topping was good, maybe a bit spicier pepperoni would be a bit better ... toppings are a tad expensive for a few slices of pepperoni. A 3-topping pizza adds around $5. The small is good for two-people with light/moderate appetites. I wouldn't be able to eat a small and a salad by myself. Speaking of the salad ... one of the best regular house salads I've ever had. The dressing is amazing ... tangy, salty, perfectly done. I know it's hard to get all worked up over a standard Italian dressing but often the simplest things in cooking are the hardest to get right ... and they get the dressing right! Also, the lettuce was super fresh and the tomatoe slices were as well. The only issue I had was there was no 'side salad' version. There was a 'small' salad for around $8 ... but that could easily feed 2 - 4 people. Overall, this place gets just about everything right. It doesn't change or modernize. It's portions are great ... the food is very good ... prices maybe a bit high compared to other spots ... but you can tell they don't cut corners and everything is freshly made. The bar is where I'd want to sit normally ... but the seats are very close together and I didn't want to be elnow to elbow with strangers, so I snagged a small booth, which was also fine. The customers seemed nice ... but they all seemed very 'Cranston'. If they could deal with the lighting situation and make it less bright, I'd eat here 2 times per week. You can't beat a classic ... and this place is a classic.

    We gave this place a try while in Cranston. I was actually surprised at how tiny it is considering…read moreI've been to Spike's Junk Yard Dogs when it was in this location years ago. Needless to say, they don't need the space to make some excellent pizza. We shared a few different slices. My favorite was the Detroit style with the pepperoni, hot honey, and seasoned mozzarella! We got a slice that we didn't order, as a girl misheard us, but it ended up being a very good slice of Detroit. It had orange chicken on it. I had never had anything like that, but it was absolutely delicious! The Florentine with the tomatoes was delicious. The sauce that's used on the pizza is so good and all the crust were cooked perfectly. Even my wife, who doesn't like Detroit style Pizza said that the flavor of the dough was different than the other ones I've had her try at other places around Rhode Island in Massachusetts. I'm in need of Rhode Islander so I did buy a bag of the pizza chips and I absolutely love them. You have to like bakery pizza that I like these. The girls at the register were absolutely amazing and more friendly than most pizza places I've been in recently. They even joked with us when we sat and ate, which we really appreciated it. I love the decor of the chandeliers, it had such a nice touch. The only thing that I didn't love was how loud the music was. We couldn't hear each other across the small table, but that subjective anyway. If I'm around Cranston, I will definitely go back here and I would recommend that everyone else gives it a try.

Besides the Brussels being very spicy, almost unbearable, the food was delicious. My favorite were the pizza snacks that I got last minute on the counter. Didn't think much of it when I saw it but I was tasty and reminded me of an elevated cracker. We called ahead for pick up and the food was ready when we arrived. The cashier was welcoming and attentive. The restaurant doesn't have a lot of seating in side but def a nice spot for a quick lunch or pick up. Decor is super cute, glad I was able to stop by.
