Stopped in for a small pizza to go and was told it would take about 10 minutes. It took significantly longer than that, and when I opened the box I showed the owner/manager and told him that the pizza looked overcooked. Rather than offering to make me another one, he argued with me and told me the pizza was cooked just right. Well, it tasted no better than it looked, and it's especially troubling that this happened when the place was not busy at all--only two other customers in the restaurant. read more

Not from the area but was doing business in Cranston and got hungry...found this place on Google, said it was the best. It absolutely was THE BEST pizza I have had in many years.!!!! So when I was back in Cranston on Labor day, we stopped again. This time my pizza was cooked by the father and boy was it good.!!!! So whether it be father or son cooking your pizza, rest assured it will be one of, if not the best pizza you have ever eaten!!! (it wasn't busy and the father and I got to chat. such an enchanting man.....I'll be back soon) read more

This place is our go to place every Saturday. The Mcshawns day crew really appreciate Johnny basils for making the best dishes for us.

We order a pizza with sausage, mushrooms and caramelized onions. When you factor in the buttery, tender, crunchy crust it is the most incredible pizza you will ever eat. read more

One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. They are Greek and active with the Greek festivals. Pizza is awesome, not your run-of-the -mill pizzas. The dough is not mushy nor no flavored, bakes so nice and chewy, not soggy. Sauce is not overly herbaled but can actually taste the tomatoes, so good. I always ask for more sauce to dip the pizza bone in. Yum! Freshest ingredients that puts them above other pizza places in the neighborhood. Good variety on the menu as well as Greek specialties, soulvaki is always calling me. Lol. Plus there are specials like the bucket of spaghetti, salad & drinks. Easy & a good price. Moved to RI in '98 and this was one of the 1st places we tried and loved. Feel like family ever since. When kids fly back to Lil' Rhody they always want Basil's. read more

Had seen all the good reviews, and gave them a shot. Very disappointed, a mediocre pie all around. Probably could've been cooked a little more, sauce was very bland and the there wasn't very good. They discretely have a sign posted on the counter that credit card transactions incur a 3.5% surcharge, but don't mention it on the menu. I rarely carry cash on me, so it would be a problem if I was a regular. read more

HANDS DOWN OUR FAVORITE PIZZA PLACE IN RHODE ISLAND. We cannot say enough good things about Basils!. We love the pizza, the wing dings... the staff is amazing! We have been going here for years now. We have enjoyed dining in and take out. The Greek salad is also a personal favorite - you can get it in a pocket too! Recently we had ravioli and meatballs, chicken parm. Just an amazing pizza place. You have to try their pizza, it is just perfect! My personal favorite is adding cheese, pepperoni, feta and tomato. My husband and son love their pepperoni pizza. Sincerely Shanon and Scott.... read more

The Italian sub was great. Very friendly service. Classic Rhode Island spot. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

A plain mom and pop place located in Cranston. The family is altogether working in the kitchen, answering the phone, cleaning shop, etc. We sat at the bar and ordered a 2 topping pizza. They prepare it to order which takes a while for a pizza. The pepperoni and mushrooms were good but the crust was to die for. Crunchy and crispy is just perfect. read more

Basil's Pizza - 2 Toppings Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

we ordered 3 subs 2 steak cheese and onion it was the worst I have ever had it was so dry we couldn't swallow it. There were no onions in it and the cheese was so dry up it was hard. For 40 bucks for garbage never again. delivery took an hour. Basil's sucks read more

Their Italian grinders are awesome, so I wanted to try their pizza. Today, I ordered a small pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms, calling ahead so it would be ready when I got there to eat it. Well, the pizza was the highlight of my day, and I was already having a good day. It was one of the best pizzas I've ever had! All the ingredients blended together nicely - no one thing dominated the flavor. For example, I could taste a hint of garlic (which I've never been able to say of any other pizza I've eaten), but the garlic did not detract from the other ingredients. Rather, it complemented everything else. You could tell the ingredients and toppings were high quality; the pepperoni was not greasy. The best part of this awesome pizza was the crust - it was thick, yet crispy and airy (they use a special pizza pan). I ate the entire pizza. It satisfied my large appetite, and I did not feel bloated or have even the slightest hint of heartburn. The cheese was nice and pully (is that even a real adjective? I don't know). Basically, it was the perfect pizza, as far as I'm concerned! Apparently, a lot of others agree, because during the half-hour I was there eating my pizza, their phone rang nearly non-stop. read more

Their prices just keep go up! Pizza is average at best... Nobody in the area charges almost $14 for a small pizza with one topping. Not Ninos,Not Tommy's,Not Big Cheese,Not even Caserta on the Federal Hill which the same pizza with tax cost $10.50. read more

Great place. Has been around for years! The food is delicious and the service awesome. Brings back good childhood memories.

On a Saturday night, called around 8 PM. Wanted 2 orders of plain wings, woman over the phone said she can only do 1 order of plain and 1 order of buffalo... okay. After picking up the one order of wings, fries and a large pizza, i notice the woman in the back said $25. Then the gentleman comes to the front with the food and aggressively punches in numbers again and again in a calculator (as if the calculator was the problem) then all of a sudden spits out the number of $28 and change... every time i come its a different price. Pizza should not be this expensive, i dont care how good it is. This is a rip off and shady family owned businesses think they can get away with it. It's probably how they rack up enough money for that vacation to greece they go to every summer for months. The wing order had the saddest little 3 pieces of not even a whole wing and a random fry in it. Fries were soggy. Will not buy from here again. read more

Basil's is one of my favorite restaurants to get pizza. They use fresh ingredients and I enjoy their tomato sauce. I also think their fried chicken is very tasty, with a nice crispy batter on the outside and juicy, tender chicken inside. I come here frequently and the food quality is always consistent, as well as their friendly service. I wish they were opened on Sundays, but I highly recommend Basil's Pizza for anyone looking for pizza and wings. read more

I have going here for years. Over the past year, the owners have become super rude and miserable. I do not know what the heck happened.

Just very sad to see. read more

The gave me a full size salad so I called to ask why it was so much money and the woman on the phone started yelling at me and hung up on me.

I would not recommend this place... They are rude!!!!! read more

My experience at Basil's has always been a positive one. Excellent customer service, friendly and professional. The pizza is one of my favorites in the area, so I gladly give Basil's 5 stars! -Mike from mission:nutrition read more

Absolutely deplorable customer service. We recently moved to another location in Cranston, 3.5 miles away and 12 minutes. When we called to ask of the estimated wait time (after waiting for an hour and a half), a so called "Joanne" Asked me "why i wouldnt just pick the order up if i lived so close?" EXCUSE ME?! She said "you're over the pond and too far for us" ... uhm what? Why not tell us an hour and a half earlier? We have been faithful customers for over 2 years. Im absolutely disgusted! Will NEVER give Basil's Pizza my business again, even tho we have spent our money there EVERY FRIDAY for the past 2 years. read more

They supply the plates, forks, etc. They will take credit card orders upon delivery -- their family is very involved with keeping the restaurant going! read more

I was first introduced to Basil's a little over a year ago. The floral garden and bushy Basil plant brought my eye into a well organized, spotless restaurant. Having been in the food/ hospitality arena for eons, I knew that I had arrived at a special destination. The patriarch of the family, Sam, is accommodating and constantly in motion. I have few dietary problems which were discussed with the owner's son, "Basile" (sp) Well, from then on, I was happily enjoying the most delicious pizza crust I have ever eaten. Designer salads artistically plated and an Iced glass with the correct amount of cubes for my beverage. All the ingredients are fresh and your order is delivered to you in a stylish presentation. Did I mention the soup, expertly made by the Mother? It is only made in the wintertime. It definitely is flavorful. hearty. and delicious. I could go on and on, but you must visit this family-friendly restaurant. I feel as though I have become a member of a wonderful Greek family and look forward to many gastronomic and healthy fare. read more

This place was nothing short from greatness the wings were tasty the pizza was fresh , will recommend this to anyone ! Thank you for the people at Basil Pizza for making feel like family here . read more
