Catanzaro's Pizzeria Cranston

I love their pizza. The size is very good for the price. My only recommendation is to order your pepperoni on top of the cheese. It's the cup kind so it gets nice and crispy. This time I tried the buffalo chicken pizza as well as the breadsticks with cheese. So good!!!!!

Absolutely amazing pizza! I ordered the Margherita pizza with white sauce and roasted red peppers, and it may honestly be the best Margherita pizza I’ve ever had. The flavors were perfectly balanced and so fresh. On top of that, the woman who took my order was absolutely fabulous — friendly, welcoming, and truly an asset to the team. Great food and great service always make the experience, and this place nailed both. I will definitely be back soon! 🍕❤️

Pizza is top notch thick but not too thick Sicilian style with ample toppings and a tasty sauce 😋 Sangria is always 👌 wings and chicken parmesan sandwich were delicious.

Had a large Pie great size good price great taste. Perfect crust/crunch. Great ratio of sauce too cheeze the Bruschetta was really good too.i recommend stopping in here if you want some great tasteing food. Carol was a great Server I Highly recommend her.

Been hearing great things about this place, so decided to give it a try. They have been in business here for 14 years and have a non stop take out business that tells you they are doing things right. The pizza was very good, with extremely generous portions of toppings and everyone working there seems very focused on you being satisfied. For me, their red sauce was overly sweet and I prefer my toppings on top of the cheese so they can get direct heat, especially the pepperoni, love it when it’s charred, no char here. Lastly the dough for me was somewhat more dense and compact vs light and airy especially for the grandma square pan style that it is. As a side note, I didn’t like the pizza being placed in what amounts to a plastic cafeteria tray, anything else would be preferable. That said, I am in the minority as this place has an amazing fan base and I love to see people as dedicated as they are to their craft. We need more family businesses like Catanzaro’s.

A five-star restaurant review deserves looking at the food, the service, the atmosphere and of course the hospitality. Catanzaro's delivers on all of these. We have enjoyed our visits here again and again. We like different... and today, the rabe with sausage delivered... equally followed by a pizza with olives, hot peppers and artichokes. Try Catanzaro's. The food, service and wonderful staff (Carolyn and Alex) will win your heart and, for sure, your repeat visits!

Idk what happened tonight but ive lived in thode island my whole life used to get catanzaros alot .. ive lived in Nevada for last 3.5 years came back last month ordered catanzaros tonight , and somethings off the bottom of the pizza is stale rough tough and the middle is chewy , It tastes like it was mad yesterday or the dough was frozen it tastes newly used .. honestly very disappointed.....

Tried something a little different from the normal circle pizza. They make square pizza. Called ahead and placed an order for pick up. Took a little longer than quoted. The lady at the front desk was super sweet and apologetic for the wait time. Ordered a small for two people. Was more than enough. Picked up a Pepperoni Pizza Square. The sauce had a nice tangy flavor. The pepperoni’s were delicious and a well top off. Had a nice bar area, will definitely give it a try and have in house.

The food is always delicious and the waitress is so nice!! The sauce is so good. Best Pizza around!

Great food great service and a welcoming place.i get alot of to go and it's always on point.keep up the good work.

Super busy place and it is one of, if not the best in pizza in Cranston. Thick tasty dough, cooked just enough to give it a crunch without a burn. The pizza sauce is amazing, they use all fresh ingredients. If you want your pepperoni to curl ask for it on top of the cheese. All sizes are rectangular pizzas. The spinach pies are really good! Take one home for later if you can't fit in.

Another great meal here at Catanzaro's. It was a week night, so we were able to sit instead of having take out. The take out, even during the week, was just as incredible as on the weekends! It was a broccoli rabe, prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwich for me. The rabe and prosciutto were very good, but it was deli mozzarella in the sandwich instead of fresh. Not sure why, and not sure why I didn't ask!! My husband had a pizza with caramelized onions all to himself. He loved it! Really, you can't go wrong here if you can get near the place! (The parking lot is rather small and tight.)

Cozy Family owned and managed business. This is the true meaning of Italian pizza place but has great sandwiches as well. A nice small bar inside with great mixed drinks. Great seating and super service. The pizza here is thick and crunchy on the bottom. The toppings are fresh and tasty. The salads come in a wonderful bread bowl. The spinach pies are also very good. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. It is a very popular place that is small with limited parking but you can always get it "to go". Tip: Garlic Parm Wings are awesome, please order them! Always stop at Cat's when we are around the area. This place is a win, always smells amazing. Thanks

While visiting from the free state of Florida, the colonel was hankering for the greatest pizza in the world. When visiting, the colonel always eats Catanzaro's pizza. Is it better than sex? No. But it's up there!!! Catanzaro's pizza in Cranston gets the Colonel Ingus messy face of happiness award! May you forever stay in business!

I always get a small since the pizzas are so big but the dough is just perfect, flaky, fluffy and delicious. Their fried eggplant pizza with caramelized onions is my jam! Love this place and must stop it in Cranston!

Family owned business offering good food and drink for reasonable prices. The pizza is Sicilian style with tons of options available. Entrees, sandwiches and salads are equal in quality and quantity. You won't be disappointed.

Awesome pizza and order is always ready on time. Very nice people that wait on you. I highly recommend them

Great pies great calzones and salads the antipasto is huge. Place is really nice inside and family run which is awesome. Everyone that works there really cares. Only negative thing about catanzaros is no delivery but I will say it's worth picking up. Pizzas are big and on the thicker side, very tasty.

Stopped in the other day with a friend and we sat at the bar for lunch. Nice cozy little bar with a fantastic server. I wanted to try their meatballs so I ordered a couple, absolutely loved them. Ended up taking my sandwich home which was also excellent! Before that I have only had the pizza there and never tried anything else because I loved the pizza so much! Now, I'll have to branch out and try more items on the menu!

This has got to be the best thick crust pizza in all of RI. We always ask for it to be well done. The crust is crispy and crunchy but not excessively heavy. The sauce has a nice tang to it, the cheese is delicious. Adding sausage and mushroom just adds to the overall flavor. The photo is 1/2 of the pizza, a whole is 2 of these. We usually order a salad have 2 pcs each and take the rest home. It freezes well and reheats in the oven and it tastes almost as good when fresh. Carol is always attentive when we choose to eat there, making sure we have what we need. They have a small bar and very limited seating. So if you like a beer, wine, cocktail or other non-alcoholic drinks they are plentiful.

Party of 4 Friday 4-24-2024. Walk in, no reservations, got lucky and grabbed a table. I'd say a majority of their business is take-out, but they do have a small dining area and bar. There was a steady line of customers picking up pizzas and takeout while we were there. Started with an Antipasto and a few drinks. The sangria is delicious. The pizza? Spectacular! Square pizza, thick buttery crust, crispy / cheesy outside edge. Delicious. In my top 5 of best pizzas I've had. Excellent service, cool vibe, we'll definitely be back soon.

Best grandma style pizza in the state. Elite ingredients, excellent chefs, awesome staff. The owner walks around smiling, because he knows everyone who is eating is happy.

Food is excellent especially chicken parmigiana and the meatballs cocktails-definitely try their sangria. It's sweet but is very, very good. One glass and that was enough for me. Strong! Atmosphere is casual and the service is excellent I will definitely go back !!!!

My steak and cheese sandwich was very tasty. The service is slow but almost every restaurant has slow service so I shouldn't be surprised there. The scenery is kinda crappy not going to lie. There is a big piece of wood right next to the glass door and I don't think anyone wants to look at that. Overall this place could have done a much better job.

I was really looking forward to Catanzaro's. The Pizza Lover's RI Facebook page raves about this places so I had high hopes. And I just don't get the appeal. The pizza is ok. The flavor is just meh, there needs to be more cheese and sauce. We ordered 3 different kinds so got a full range. Pepperoni was definitely the best. It's a little expensive but a the price isn't too bad. A medium pizza is a really good size. The interior is cool. An old pizza parlor kind of vibe but the pies just are average. I would honestly say Dave's Marketplace makes a better pizza.

I can only speak for their pizza, as I have not tried anything else. First, in my experience, the customer service has always been fast paced but good. The atmosphere is usually busy, with mostly take out orders. I have only ever ordered the pizza, which is a large Sicilian pie. The crust is the perfect level of crispy to hold the toppings. The sauce is tangy and very flavorful. Pepperoni being my favorite, it has a great ratio of cheese and the little curly pepperoni. Also, it's huge, and one large can feed several hungry teenagers. This pizza can compete against most others in RI and come out on top!

Great pizza and a friendly staff! Their pepperoni pizza is delicious! Highly recommended'n

My husband and I have tried many pizza places in RI and we love this one. Everything is just right. Pizza is crispy enough, not too many or too few toppings, not too oily and the small is a perfect size for the two of us. Quick, efficient service. We go in "off" times to avoid the parking craziness. :)

Wow!!! Best pizza I've had in years. I heard about this restaurant from a food critic's post on Facebook. We took a chance and tried it. We ordered a medium Meat Lover's Pizza. It was delicious!!! So many toppings, we couldn't finish the pizza and brought 6 squares home. The waitress did a fantastic job even though she was working solo. She never stop working and kept smiling the whole time. Restaurant ambience is nicely setup for a pizzeria. We got there early, the place was packed by 6pm.

Yummy pizza and delicious eggplant parm sub. Service is always fast and friendly. I hear the pitchers of Sangria are also amazing.

Gave them another chance after all these years because I kept hearing and seeing positive things. Still wasn't impressed. Very meh. It was edible, but very meh.

This was once my go to for pizza but sadly it has been inconsistent at best as of late. There are better pies nearby.

The last few times I've gotten pizza here I've been disappointed. It used to be my go to in Cranston but not so much anymore. It's still been good pizza just not as good as I remember it being.

Large Pizzas are huge. Super tasty without being greasy. Perfect for large gatherings. Service is always good here and takeout has reasonable wait times. A staple in Cranston.

My favorite pizza in the whole wide world. Simply yummy. The staff is friendly and will call you by name. I almost hate to write this because I enjoy ordering and spending time there when not so busy. This place deserves all the accolades it gets! Thank you for sharing your great food. Shout out to waitstaff and cooks. B. A frequent patron that drives to you special.

Pepperoni pizza is delicious. I love this place. The service is top notch. Will be coming back for more !!!!!

These people think I'm high maintenance when I'm asking for no sauce on a small pizza and l a half a scoop on a large pizza Rob the owner is probably the biggest asshole of the all. however Carolyn is just as bad...she calls him over and says she wants lite sauce again. Just looking to have leftovers in my for the weekend so we don't have to cook.. for the bowlers that's in town for the pro tour..

I've only had takeout and it was just pizza, but it was so good. It had the perfect ratio of cheese to sauce and the crust was perfectly crisp. Also loved how they had the cupped pepperonis on top. Super good!

I was formally a "Johnstonite" and now I'm officially a "Cranstonite." On this cold, rainy Sunday night of Memorial Day Weekend my daughter and I agreed to check out Catanzaro's Pizza. The fact that they're literally a mile away was a great thing. I ordered a medium pizza with chicken, bacon, and ricotta. (I would have loved spinach, mushrooms, and sausage but these are the sacrifices we make for our kids). The establishment is small but nice. They even have a liquor license. Brought the pizza home and let's just say I'm glad we chose this place! The pizza was perfectly cooked, the crust is amaze balls, and the toppings are generous. Thank you, Catanzaro's Pizza, you will come to know us as Regulars!

As a person who takes pizza very seriously, I'm pretty comfortable giving Catanzaro's the pizza peel (see what I did there) of approval. The crust is thick, just the right amount of doughy and crispy and the toppings are all fresh and tasty. We ordered like 5 or 6 toppings and the crust had no problem holding it up. That's my kind of crust. The pizza shown is a medium. Easily enough for 4 people. The large is enough for a light infantry regiment.

I order from here often and it's always great service and food! And super friendly staff.

I visited this place on the recommendation of a friend I work with. She said.... as weird as it may sound you need to try the Caesar Salad Pizza!!! It is AWESOME!!! I called up and made an order. I went with the plain Cesar salad without the chicken this time. It was amazing how the lettuce stays crispy! The crusty was buttery... it was just awesome!! I also grabbed a ready to go slice of pepperoni & cheese because it looked so good (it was)!! Easy to get in and out, lots of parking and very friendly staff, good prices, great food!!! Can't wait to go back!!!

Literally our favorite pizza place! We have tried bread sticks, bruschetta, wings and so many pizzas. We weren't huge fans of the wings, but everything else is so good omgggg. They also have daily cal zones that we never realized they had. They are not on the menu, but you can call and ask what ones they have for the day.

We love Catanzaro's Pizza! Always busy amazing pizza, wings and sandwiches and salads good service. Nice big square Sicilian pizza at its best, and it freezes well! We come from Raynham to go there and love their sangria it's very good no fruit in it but it's not needed so yum! We are bringing some of our friends there soon so excited to go back. I'm kind of glad they are not real close because you know pizza every night wouldn't be right! Try it, you'll love it

Yo. The meatball parm is amazing. The sauce is sweet and a lil spicy which I love, and the portions are great. Excellent place with a full bar and Greta menu and friendly staff. Will try again.

Very delicious fresh food, good portions, affordable prices, and friendly, happy atmosphere

Closed down. No one answered the phone so thought they were very busy on a Friday night. Drove over and the lights were out and no one was at home.

Pizza was very tasty and delicious. Spinach calzone was very light in dough and loads of fresh spinach and so delicious. Service was excellent and I can't wait to return there again. I recommend this place to many of my friends and they all agreed with me that the food and service is amazing.

First time ordering! Ordered and picked up Sat the 21st Place was jam packed shows signs of a awesome restaurant. Very friendly staff and great prices The pizza was not soggy like typical pizza joints. The crust was perfect, nice and crispy and cooked just right nice and hot. Mushrooms were huge and amazing. Don't be fooled by this picture, the pizza is huge. Best pizza in a very long time. I will definitely be back! 5-Star hands down Family owned and run is the best

Saying a place has great pizza in Cranston is no biggie! This place however has really great pizza! Fantastic crisp crust with just enough give and cheese for miles! Great dinners and sauce

Delicious pizza and very filling. Family friendly atmosphere. Bathrooms was nicely decorated and clean. They have a bar as well as dining area.

Absolutely the best pizza I've ever eaten. Hands down, it's been on my mind since I had it. The crust was the perfect balance of savory and buttery. The crust to toppings ratio was absolutely 100% perfect!

Love this place! The staff , the nicest bartender. Great SANGRIA !! The best pizza and spinach pies in my

Best pizza I have ever had. I Love the proscuitto, ricotta, fresh mozzarella pizza and my husband loves fresh mozzarella and pepperoni on his. I have been dozens of times and the pizza is always incredible. We get a large, which is huge because we get several meals out of it. Catanzaro's is the only pizza that tastes better reheated than other pizza parlors to right out of the oven. Love the sangria also.

Pizza and calzones are okay but don't add meat to salads. Ordered grilled chicken on top for an extra three dollars and instead was charged five dollars for the most disgusting breaded chicken. It was thinner than veal and most was inedible. The salad itself was okay.

I feel guilty that it's taken me this long to write a review about Catanzaro's. A couple of years ago, I began my hunt for the best pizza in RI. I searched high, I searched low and behold, I finally stumbled upon Catanzaro's. Catanzaro's has theeeee best pizza around. My go to is the large (which feeds an army) with extra cheese, green peppers, carameliZed onions, and pepperoni. Well done of course. They have a solid variety of toppings on the menu, but I continue to get this. Haven't had their calzones or other sandwiches but my guess would be they're out of this world. Don't get it confused. If you're looking for a New York style pizza, this isn't the place but if you're looking for a medium - thick, crispy crust, you have found the holy grail of pizza. Ugh, my mouth waters even when I think of it. You can dine in or order take out. The service is all around fantastic. MUST MUST MUST TRY. Hands down the best pizza in RI. Don't let any nonsensical review deter you from trying this place! Thank you pizza gods.
