Caserta Pizza
Pizza in Providence, RI
No one that was in the know would ever argue that Providence doesn’t have great Italian food, and its pizza is no exception. You can’t throw a stone without hitting great pizza in Providence, especially around Federal Hill.
You can’t talk about Providence pizza without talking about Caserta Pizzeria. Caserta has been serving up traditional Sicilian-style pizza since 1953, and they remain one of the best pizza places in the city. Caserta has a minimalist menu, and you can never go wrong with one of their crispy cheese pizzas. Caserta Pizzeria is located on Spruce Street, right off of Atwell’s Avenue and right across the street from Pastiche Fine Desserts. Learn more at their website!
There’s also Providence Coal Fired Pizza on Westminster Street, right near the corner of Empire. In addition to a great array of prepared-from-scratch Italian food, Providence Coal Fired Pizza serves up gourmet pizzas, such as the Rocket, a margherita served with arugula and pecorino cheese. Their coal oven heats up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, which lends their pizzas a unique flavor and texture. Find out more at www.providencecoalfirepizza.com.
