Expert Reviews of Caserta Pizzeria

Citysearch | The one thing you'll never find in this casual pizzeria? Uneaten scraps of crust.

You have no one to blame but yourself for bad service at Caserta's: Someone in your party will have to play waiter for the evening. Fortunately, the only responsibility is to pick up your order from the chrome...

User Reviews of Caserta Pizzeria

Yelp.com Review - by Jim K.

5.0 of 5 stars. Rhode Island. Providence. Federal Hill. As the giant pineapple arch welcomes you down Atwells Ave, you will understand why Providence is the mafia capital of New England. This is as "Sopranos" as you…

2.0 of 5 stars. If you like canned spinach stuffed inside of a greasy crust, you should eat at Caserta's! Otherwise save your time and money and go somewhere else. I'm giving it more than one star solely because it…

Casserta's - worth the trip!

Disgusting, salty pizza sauce

Their pizza is disgusting. The sauce is wicked salty, the toppings are few in variety and not very good. Go to Bob & Timmy's - it's much better.

5.0 of 5 stars. A Providence legend, Caserta's cheeseless pizza seems to show up at every potluck I've ever been to. Altho the sauce is tasty, I prefer the cheesy varieties, myself. The age-old Caserta…

Best Pizza

A favorite in the thicker crust category. Pepperoni and mushrooms with extra sauce is the best! Save the leftovers too because nothing beats cold Casserta's for breakfast!

Best Pizza in Rhode Island

They are known for the best pizza in Rhode Island. Very good. I just wish they did not serve with very small paper plates and canned soda. Besides that, the pizza is wonderful!
