I don't know what that guy is saying about the pizza being different.Over 20 years ago my wife and I used to hang out at Caserta while dating. The had a franchise going and we used to visit to the one in Narragansett called 'Serta by the Sea. There was another one in Warwick too near Sandy Bottom Lane. They only franchised the name for a few years and then those places changed their names.Last year we just decided out of the blue to go to the original location in Providence. We were amazed and pleased that it was exactly the same as it was 25 years ago. Our 21 year old son wasn't around then and he agrees with us on this, Caserta has the best pizza in Rhode Island.

I grew up in Federal Hill and on Caserta's Pizza. I moved away when I was 21 and didn't go back for 17 years so, when I did go back for my first visit home I had to go toe Caserta's, my favorite Pizzeria on the hill. My mom and all my relatives warned me I'd be disappointed, it was nothing like when I was a kid. I don't know how or why it changed but it is not the same as when I was a kid growing up there in the 60s. To answer your question, I think it is famous for what it was and people just keep going back, not knowing or caring that it has changed so much. Myself, I prefer Tommy's on Chalkstone Ave. They still make a good old fashioned RI pizza.

I was the biggest Caserta fan back in the day... I'd travel 30 miles for a Caserta Pizza and in RI that's BIG !!! But just like anything else with new owners ,and time ,comes change. Caserta was the king for many years ... they went up against a pizza at the Bryant College Annual Pizza Challenge this year ( can you tell I'm a Pizza Lover) and the winner this year was a place I've never heard of... Pepino's Pizzeria in Lincoln... OMG !!!! The NEW REIGNING KING of PIZZA... from the northend of Boston !!!! Best kept secret in RI !!! Pros: Easy to find... been there for years Cons: Just not like it used to be !!!

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.

Better than chain pizza. Decently priced. They don't usually skimp on the toppings..usually when I ask for "extra extra pepperoni and olives" and make it a point again to say I want it covered, I usually get it that way and it's still under $10. They lack the consistency though, I guess depending on who makes it because sometimes there's sauce overload and it's too gloppy with a bunch of those little tomato things. I like how the crust isn't too thick and not too thin but it's bland and tasteless. Its weird, like they just sprayed some olive oil on it and fried the bottom. And twice I have found a piece of hair in it. I noticed the first piece at home and the second time I went back in and took a refund on it (didn't want an irritated cook spitting in it..) So I now make sure to inspect the pizza before leaving..... Pros: Price. Crust not too thin and not too thick, usually lots of toppings. Cons: Tasteless, white crust that they spray oil on and fry the bottom, had hair in pizza. Made differently each time.

I just don't know why people swear by this place. The pizza is average Rhode Island pizza, which is definitely a style unto itself. I don't think it rises above many of the House of Pizza variants found in Pawtucket and East Providence. The Wimpy Skimpy spinach pie is oversalted, and I really suspect they don't use fresh spinach. Try Roma's spinach pie as a comparison (up on Atwells). Why it constantly wins Best of RI eludes me.

My wife and I just enjoyed a delicious large pepperoni, olive and cheese pizza for lunch. She had a pizza craving since before our cruise last week that was left unsatisfied until today. We had incredible food on the cruise ship including pizza but I kid you not, Casserta's pizza satisfies like no other. Just the right balance of crispy crust, olive oil, sause and toppings so that you can perch your slice on your fingertips. We ordered a large so we could have some for lunch tomorrow but could not stop eating just one more slice 'till there were only five squares left. Yes it is a square pizza. RI's best! I found this site looking for the phone number to pre-order our pizza for lunch and read some nasty reviews. Although seeds of doubt were planted I went with my gut and enjoyed an amazing icon of RI once again Caserta's pizza! This was my first review and felt compelled to correct what I felt were misrepresentative impressions of a Federal Hill treasure. If you are not from RI maybe you have a thin skin to an attitide of toughness. Hey If we come off as abrupt it does not necessarily mean that we are bad people. We may actually be having a tough day. Share a smile with us and you will discover the side of us we share with our friends. Get to know us and you will have a friend for life. Pros: Classic Italian RI pizza place. Cons: Parking is tight.

You would have to be an idiot to order green peppers on a Casserta pizza. That's like ordering ketchup for your stake serloin. Don't get me wrong peppers are good on Chicago style pizzas and the like but this is not Chicago or New York. This is Providence, Rhode Island. And this is our pizza (and our atmosphere for that matter)! Pros: Genuine Atmosphere, Location, Simplicity
