After 53 years of having a different pizzeria as my favorite, Catanzaro's has taken over. This is…read morethe best pizza in Rhode Island. It's a Sicilian style: thick, chewy, and crunchy all at the same time. They use incredibly fresh toppings and a level of quality that you really can't get in most places. We got a cheese, pepperoni, and olive pie this time. They use California olives, which hardly anyone can get in Rhode Island. They have to buy pallets of them in order to have them on hand, and the taste is significantly different than any other olive you're going to get on a Rhode Island pie. Also, the pies are huge. Whatever size you're usually order,go down one size so that you are not overwhelmed. The good news is you'll get to eat more pizza for the rest of the week, and you won't be disappointed in that. It's an old-school spot in an old-school part of Cranston that knows pizza, and the line never stops moving. This is the best pizza in Rhode Island.

Foo see psychedelic sign for pizza from some kind of acid trip. Sign kinda say Little John so the sad Foo go across street. "Hi, name Foo!" "Sit anywhere." So Foo take nice booth and look around. Little John is bistro John. So nice, so bistro with a big window for the take outs. "What'll it be pally," said polite server. "Foo have Bud Light and small cheese well done and garlic sauce to dip! Foo loves to dip!" "Okay, grunt," says friendly server. When Foo pie arrives it is Greek Foo thinks. IFoo pat down some grease on the top and grab a slice.

Half pie gone and beer gone and Foo gets check given and lays down the AMEX Black to impress at Little John's. "You want a box?" "That would be nice." "Here." "Xie xie," says Foo with nice head bow.

The fries are a standard battered fry which IMHO could have been cooked a little more. I would avoid the seafood though. I can only speak for the fish sandwich, but the best thing on it was the lettuce and tomato which were fresh. The fish itself was a frozen, extremely thickly battered patty. While I appreciate that, they cut it and have to make sure it was cooked, it made the fish unable to stay inside the sandwich since it was somewhat like a brick. If you order here, I suggest sticking to the pizza. It's what they know best.

Maria's Pizza And Wings on Pontiac Ave in Cranston is a neighborhood spot, the kind that's easy to…read moremiss if you don't already know it's there, tucked in and going about its business without asking for your attention. Because I know about this little hidden gem already, I was driving home after a long day and I wasn't going to pass it without stopping. This is what I'd call emotional support pizza. Not a pilgrimage. Not a revelation. Just a really solid pie from a place that knows what it's doing and doesn't need to make a fuss about it. Pepperoni and black olive for me today. The crust had that chew you want, cooked through, some golden brown color on the bottom. The sauce was rich tomato with garlic running underneath the cheese, present enough to know it's there without fighting for attention. The olives were generous and distributed like someone thought about where they landed, not just dropped from a height. The pepperoni is cupped and charred slightly at the edges. The toppings-to-cheese ratio was right. It arrived fast and it arrived hot. This is what a revered neighborhood pizza place is supposed to be. Maria's does it. It's primarily takeout, four tables, busy foot traffic in and out the whole time I was there. They do good business and they know what their business is. I sat down anyway because I tend to be an iconoclast, and it was a fine visit. If you live nearby, you already know about this place. If you don't, that's between you and your neighborhood. Maybe you should move.

I am hooked on Maria's pizza. I stopped in as the are a contestant in the RI Food Fight's Lord of…read morethe Pies competition and got a small pizza with sausage. I ordered over the phone and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. I walked into the shop twenty minutes later and it was ready. The staff was very courteous and the whole ordering/paying process was as it should be - easy! I took it home and it had just cooled enought to eat it. This is the type of pizza I love. A thinker crust, loaded with mozzarella, and a nice sauce that was not overwhelming. The sausage had a nice spice to it. (For the record, I am not a fan on New Haven style pizza, which seems to be popular in RI - this is not that. Nor is it New York style - which I do like BUT not over the style that Maria's serves.) I aslo added some wings to the order (this time spicy BBQ). Those were good as always. It also should be said that I had left over pizza and it reheated nicely! They now are my go to pizza place.

Heavy on sauce and onions "all the way" and their hot honey pepperoni pizza was so tasty with drops of ricotta and hot honey. Their service is top notch. The only drawback was the ambiance. We were there for Karaoke night and I am not a big fan of that. Most drunk people don't realize, yelling into the Microphone is not singing. But overall we will be back for pizza, wings, fries and weiners again

Cutting Crew was playing over the speakers…read more At an Italian deli with a brick oven and an Italian flag hanging in the front window. (I Just) Died in Your Arms, 1986. Whitney Houston a few minutes earlier. Taylor Dayne before that. Huey Lewis somewhere in the rotation too. Somebody behind that counter was a kid in the late eighties and built the playlist around the songs they grew up with while the food their grandparents brought over from Italy came out of the oven twenty feet away. Lou Umberto opened this place in 2017 after graduating from Johnson and Wales. His family is from Cerreto Sannita, a hill town in Campania. He set up shop on Cranston Street, just outside Knightsville, on the edge of one of the oldest Italian neighborhoods in the city. Lauren and I went on a Monday afternoon. Gray skies. One of those quiet Rhode Island days where lunch slowly becomes dinner without anybody announcing the transition. Before we got inside, one of the guys working there was helping an elderly woman through the side door and walking her back toward her car with her groceries. That told me most of what I needed to know. Walk in and the room is doing four jobs at once without any of them getting in the others' way. Shelves stacked with imported groceries. Rummo pasta. Loacker wafers. Baci chocolates. Bottles of olive oil lined up beside jars of tomatoes and peppers. Along the opposite wall sits a long deli case full of prepared food. Eggplant parm. Broccoli rabe. Pasta in vodka sauce. Stuffed banana peppers. Pasta salad. Roasted vegetables. Then the bakery case. Tomato pie cut in squares with red sauce all the way to the edge and enough seasoning on top to perfume the whole counter. Potato pizza. Calzones. Spinach pies stacked on black trays. The kind of food that makes people walk in for one thing and leave with six. Near the front, bags of pizzelle tied shut with twist ties sat on a wire rack underneath a hanging sign that read Welcome Family and Friends. Normally signs like that feel decorative. This one didn't. And behind all of it, through the opening in the back, sat the brick oven. That being said. The pizza. The pepperoni pie came out raised on a metal stand by the window, the Italian flag moving outside in the gray afternoon behind it. Good looking pizza immediately. No stunt toppings. No overloaded nonsense. Just confidence. The pepperoni was placed, not dumped. Natural casing cups charred dark at the edges. Maybe fifteen slices total across the whole pie. Somebody understood restraint. The crust landed somewhere just outside classic New York style. Slightly thicker, but only enough to give the inside some chew. The outer rim puffed up high in spots and blistered dark from the oven. Flour still clung to the bottom and the back edge from the peel. The sauce tasted bright and barely cooked. In some bites it pushed forward sharp and fresh. In others it melted completely into the cheese. Sometimes all you tasted was crust, and that worked too. The cheese browned into amber patches across the surface that pure mozzarella usually doesn't create by itself. Probably some provolone mixed in there. I didn't ask. I should have asked. And the slice held beautifully. Crisp underneath. Enough structure to fold slightly at the front without collapsing. You could see the care in it immediately. Nothing rushed. Nothing overloaded. Nothing trying too hard. Just a very good neighborhood pizza made by people who seem to understand exactly what kind of place they want this to be. The kind of place where somebody helps an elderly woman through the side door before getting back to work. The kind of place that makes you think living nearby might not be the worst idea in the world. Don't forget to grab a bag of pizzelle on the way out.
