I love food! To me, food offers comfort and security. In addition, cuisine is a cultural expression and represents an opportunity to more thoroughly understand and appreciate a particular culture or region. When traveling I make it a point to taste local specialties as a way of enriching my travel experience. Someone recently suggested that I share my favorite restaurants with my readers because of my great interest in food. Keep in mind that food preferences are very different from person to person and also that a restaurant experience is about so much more than the food.

Pizza has become a staple food in modern society. One can find pizza places in all but the smallest villages. However, not all pizza is the same. As a matter of fact, there are very few pizza restaurants that I would go back to. Here are my all-time favorite spots for pizza in RI:

1.  Caserta’s, 121 Spruce St, Providence, RI — my all-time favorite!

2. Campanella’s, 930 Oaklawn Ave., Cranston — great wheat calzones & thin pizza

3. DePetrillo’s, various locations in RI

4. Uno’s Chicago Grill, various locations in RI
