I absolutely love this place. Best pizza around with a perfect Neapolitan style crust. It's tough not to eat the whole darn pie yourself. But then they have these desserts that are out of this world, and pasta dishes that are perfectly executed, and a short rib with risotto that is mind blowing. On top of that, the ambience is super casual and inviting, and the service is friendly. They've got some fun specials and promotions, too, like beer clubs and a rewards wheel. This is a perfect spot just outside the city where you can get amazing food and not have to worry about parking. Definitely try it out! read more

~I received the pizza for free during a yelp elite event.~ Fun little spot, the pasta dish was to die for. I would not order the pizza if I went back, not that it was bad, but because the other menu items were much better. I think I'd be missing out if I were to order another pizza. The arancini tasted authentic, like it came right out of little Italy. The pasta was incredibly creamy, packed full of that wow factor. Lemon lasagna?! Genius. Perfectly balanced with the whipped cream and ultra thin layer of crunch. The pizza I felt was too heavy for it's crust. I love a pizza with hearty toppings, but this was so heavy it had to be eaten with a fork and knife. Even when folding and using two hands, it still made a mess no matter how you tried to pick it up. If you picked it up by the crust alone, all toppings would slide right off. I believe it was called the mama mia pizza. read more

Truffle fries, banging broccoli, eggplant rollatini were a must if it's your first time. The meatballs were tender but I don't think I'd order it again. The service is excellent. The restaurant looks clean, modern and full. We had the princess pizza... the pizza itself was great, cheese, sauce, bread... but the chicken was bland. I would come back for pizza. Just without that chicken. My mother-in-law had the Sophia... it was bland. Would definitely come back just try some other things. read more

I went on a Saturday at around noon so it wasn't too busy. We ordered the Marilyn Monroe pizza with the four cheesy pasta. The Marilyn Monroe was cheesy but I think it was missing more of the promised sweet and spicy flavor. You could taste a hint at the base of the pizza but it didn't linger much because the cheese overpowered that flavor pretty quick. The pizza was cooked perfectly where the crust wasn't too burned but also still had a good crunch. The four cheesy pasta was a small serving for the price which I assume is because of the cheeses it has. It was a bit bland though. If I could do it over, I would try the princess pizza or a classic pepperoni as I got a peak of them as I was leaving and they looked really good. There's parking on the street, and in my case, it didn't take long to find a spot. The staff is nice and attentive. read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon it was pretty quiet when we arrived the football game was on and it started to pick up. Now the place is almost full bar and tables. Quiet with old school 60s music. The waitress was very good it looked like she may have been the only waitress on she was handling the bar and tables. We ordered the garlic parmesan wings they were tasty hot and crispy. The pepperoni pizza was good. read more

Not a bad spot for a pie! The interior is a nice opening dining room with clear view of the kitchens. The drinks are humorously named and the place mat is wonderfully hilarious with parody businesses. The service was amazing as well, quick and attentive. As per the food? Not bad either! We started with fried mozzarella and an order of broccoli rabe. The mozzarella was perfectly crispy with the cheese being smooth and buttery. The little ramekin of red sauce was tangy to compliment the rich cheese. The broccoli rabe was sautéed in a nice olive oil and garlic. We had a margherita pizza, which was a good interpretation of the italian mainstay. The differences kept me from seeing this as just a good cheese pizza. The crust, while nicely charred from the brick oven, had cornmeal which gave it a nice crunch beyond normal crust. The cheese had 100 coverage via shredded application, unlike the traditional mozz slices. Despite this, it was a good pizza and we finished it. The experience was wonderful! read more

A quaint spot with a cozy vibe and delicious food! Their prosciutto fig pizza is one of the best I've ever had, and the Brussels sprouts were perfectly done. Add in a great beer selection, and it's the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. read more

I have enjoyed several visits to Bettola which has become one of my favorite pizzerias in the State, believe it or not. The service is always excellent in my experience. Located in Rolfe Square it is walkable to a whole lot of the local community. Glad to see Rolfe Square growing. The pizza itself stands out from the crowd with its creative creations, quality ingredients. The Gold Digger is one of my favorites there with mustard bourbon BBQ sauce, sharp cheddar and bacon. The crust is very doughy and tasty. I also tried the Fig N' A and it was not as original but still well done. There are sandwiches as well, in addition to mocktails/cocktails that I have enjoyed. Overall I love the humor, the family feel, the location and the food. Ten stars! read more

Nice atmosphere. Great staff. Great food.Madison is awesome! Smashburger special was fantastic!

Not really sure what's going on in the pizza kitchen, two weeks in a row I have ordered pizzas and they have been completely wrong. I understand that a busy kitchen and things can get lost in the shuffle, but I ordered a pizza special and when it was delivered it was a Marilyn Monroe pizza (weird) I ended up eating it and liking it, so the following week I ordered the same pizza and it came with blue cheese on it?? Disgusting! I couldn't even eat it. How do you even mess up blue cheese with ricotta. That was so gross. Waste of money and I'll probably not be going or ordering from here for awhile. Edit- I know Gorgonzola cheese, that was not what was made for my order. I have gotten that pizza before, and enjoyed it. This was twice it happened, not once. I have the order history to prove it. read more

Came here because I saw that they have been voted best pizza as part of the Rhode Island Food Fights Champions. Maybe my expectations were set too high or maybe I didn't come on a good night but first impressions were a bit off. Felt as if the other tables around us were being attended to and we were a bit neglected. It seemed as if everyone around was regulars but this was my first time here and was absolutely not given the same hospitality and service unfortunately. As it started to get busier we were asked if we wanted boxes and we were not even halfway done with our meal so it felt like we were being rushed out which is not a great feeling especially since the table next to us wasn't asked to pack up and leave although they had been there longer. But the food was amazing! For the appetizer we got the bangin broccoli which alone could have left me satisfied. Then followed by the apple bottom greens salad. The dressing and toppings paired really lovely together and really enjoyed how not overpowering the dressing tasted. For mains we chose gnocchi, and 2 of their signature pizzas! Once again the food had us doing a happy dance. Will return again and see if we can give them a better rating! Because based on the food they certainly deserve it. read more

I've been coming to Bettola for a few years and it consistently delivers excellent pizza with unique, fresh ingredient combinations. Of the times I've been, the Marilyn Monroe and the San Gennarro were some of the best. The Marilyn Monroe is the perfect savory pie with 3 different types of cheeses, but is then topped with a hot honey to give it a sweet and spicy kick. The San Gennaro offers a similar type of flavor profile. It has savory ground sausage, sweet peppadew peppers and caramelized onions that create a nice sweet-savory combination. One year I even purchased the honey they top the Marilyn Monroe on our way out the door. They have apparel and other condiments for sale at the front of the restaurant as well. They have a full bar and offer a variety of cocktails. I haven't tried many, but hope to see how they do when I go visit again next time. My most recent visit was on a Tuesday night and the placed was completely packed. We just got there in time as a significant line formed just after we sat down. The only knock on this place is the service around the tables can be a little slow. There are probably 10-15 tables in the entire place, and only 1 or 2 people managing everyone and taking in new customers. On busy nights, this can lead to long wait times for putting orders in. 1 more person on the waitstaff rotation would ease the burden on the existing servers and improve the speed of service. This is one of the best pizza places in the state, and definitely outpunches many places in Providence. I will be back soon! read more

We found this place by accident and enjoyed it. Great craft beer selection and food was excellent. Will certainly return.

Stopped in for pizza and a drink and remembered quickly why we love it- food was superb, from polenta apps, arugula pear salad, to the Marilyn Monroe pizza (add prosciutto, trust me), the quality was excellent, drinks cold, and service attentive and timely. This place never misses. read more

This place has been here for 4 years- I never knew! You walk into a small dining area with a huge pizza station. The vibe and music was chill and nostalgic. Bettola also boasts about having the best pizza in RI! The mozzarella squares were good. The truffle fries were good- and they really kept their crisp. But the pizzas, even though it's good, is not the best pizza in RI - that just was not the reality! The pizza got a bit dry - so a little more sauce and a finishing drizzle on top was definitely needed. However the star of the show was the pizza maker. The gentleman was talkative with the customers- had a huge smile- and gave suggestions as to his favorite pizzas. He was happy to be at work! This is the service that makes you come back even when the food was only ok. Overall- a good local eatery but the claim to be the best is a a true hyperbole. read more

I'm a pizza junkie, take one look at my reviews and you can see that, so I'd like to think I'm a good judge of pizza. Bettola is a solid option but I don't think its as good as its reputation. The sauce is nice and sweet and the cheese and crust were fine. Price was reasonable for the size. And its defiantly worth a look if you're in the area, and in the future for me. That said, I won't be in any rush to do so, and nor should you. As a side note, I ordered on slice and they only give water and lemonade as drink options, but when I went to pickup I noticed they do, in fact, have soda too. Not a big deal, but I would've purchased one had it been an option on slice. read more

I was in RI visiting my son and we were looking for a good pizza place. I did a little digging around and saw Bettola and a few pictures of the pizza had us interested, I am always on the hunt for a good thin crust pie. Raine was our bartender/server. We started out with the Crispy Mozz and it was easily the best I've ever had, you could tell they were made with fresh mozzarella. We moved onto the pizza, we ordered the pizza with sausage and black olive. The pizza was the best pizza I've ever had, the crust was absolutely delicious. I could go on and on but trust me, DAMN GOOD PIE! The place had a good vibe and Raine was super friendly and attentive. Nothing more to say, you'll be hooked. read more

the menu was catered to people and they care about the quality of ingredients that they use...in my opinion, they had a great menu and great food! They pay attention to details...which I appreciate, I would recommend for sure. read more

Stopped in Tuesday night after work. Another stop on the Rhode Island foodfights tour, I do confess I've been here before and previously had the princess which was excellent, but tonight since I was dining solo, I went with my favorite pepperoni. I love the atmosphere of this place and it has a good crowd and mix of people, but I especially like that they have a revolving selection of draft beers and anytime Peroni is on draft. I am happy. The pepperoni pizza came out and it looked absolutely delicious and I can only confirm that because I ended up having three slices which is a full slice more than I would normally have. The underside is cooked perfectly and the crust is crispy and soft and warm inside. This is now the third pizza I have tried in Cranston during the month of November And I have to say these Cranston restaurants are blowing my mind with their pizzas! Bettola is definitely a contender for running away with it ! read more

That was nice ambiance, good food, and cool service. Chop salad and pizza made a nice dinner for my beautiful wife and i

I've driven past this place quite a bit when I'm in town. Never bothered to go in. However the people I was with definitely were known there by the bartender Alex. So we got drinks. All very good. But the winner here is the pizza. The Gold Digger pizza is AMAZING. We got it without parsley because ew. I picked off most of the peppers because it's really not my thing. But the cheese to chicken ratio is amazing. The winner is the mustard bourbon bbq sauce. It's fantastic. The whole pizza was fantastic honestly. I want to try all their pizzas now. Wow. It was a little cold in there but not something to knock a star off for. Next time I want to try their truffle fries. read more

The atmosphere and everything i think is great. Got a seat looking into the pizza oven. We ended up ordering a Margherita pizza. We watched as they were made which is pretty cool. While dining in We noticed there were no pizzas in the oven. It had seemed that placed our pizza in a to go box. Needless to say our pizza sat in a box on the counter for 8 minutes or so before they realized we have just been staring at it. They took it out of the box put it on the pizza pan and served it to us. Needless to say, the pizza was cold and greasy. I was more offended that they didn't atleast offer to heat it up. Had 1 slice nothing redeeming about the pie, just left it. I do not reccomend based on customer service and willing to serve a cold pizza to customers. read more

personable, friendly waitress/bartender Madison. This girl knew her shit.. food was delicious. I love stopping in here for a drink and their pizza!!

Stopped in on a Thursday night and wow was it packed! I love seeing packed restaurants. That means the food will be great! Upon entering I was blown away by the architectural design. There were very high ceilings with a brewery type, feeling. We had to wait about 20 mins to be seated. It was well worth it though. Wings were a lil dried out, however the blue cheese made up for it. Fig "N" A pizza was delicious but with every bite the prosciutto would slide all the toppings in one bite lol. Hard gnocc life was super filling! Gnocchi's were stuffed with cheese which I absolute loved! Its was soft and pillowy. Overall everything was so ! read more

There is no better place to get "pink vodka" and chicken cutlets.

I've ordered delivery takeout from here a thousand times and loved every item every order. Today I went in to actually order it and take it home and absolutely loved the whole vibe.

I also order two pizza's the princess which is a chix park pizza and it was delicious and a fig pizza also delicious. To date I've tried almost their whole menu and not one thing I've ordered I thought "ehhh" everything has been at the least great to amazing. read more
