Nothing much here. While definitely not bad, there isn't anything good about the pizza here. Thin crust, a nice sauce and a decent cheese and crust but really nothing good about it. Perfectly edible and a place that ultimately is probably worth your time, but not a place that will be on my list to go back too.

Penne Ala Vodka*

I just wanna start by saying I love this restaurant. The food is phenomenal, best vodka sauce in town. but for years I have asked them and told them that they should stop packing the salads with their hot food. i haven't ordered in a long time and i forgot to ask them over the phone to be separate but I'm sorry if someone spends 30+ dollars on one meal that comes with a salad, but the salad is steaming hot that's disgusting. I'm literally a general manager of a restaurant and we would never pack a cold salad with a hot pasta. I truly hope you guys see this and learn from this experience. An extra paper bag doesn't kill business, but unhappy customers do. thank you. also i asked 2 times and re read the order not to have parmesan cheese added as a garnish and yet the kitchen put it anyways. also asked for extra sauce but not really seeing anything extra. i guess i'll go another 6 months without ordering.

Large, thin crust. 'Build your own' pizza.

After a sunny walk on a nearby beach we were famished and stopped in for some pizza. They offer both Sicilian thick crust an NY style thin. The day was sunny and we had originally planned to dine indoors. A waitress assisting customers on the patio let us know to sit 'anywhere' and she would be with us shortly. Unfortunately, the music inside was loud and 'twangy'. No idea who it was and I'm not familiar with the style. It seemed more appropriate for at-home enjoyment, by those who appreciate the genre. We moved out into the sun. We selected a large, thin crust pizza to share and two adult beverages. Although the beer and wine selection is modest it covers a good range of choices. We saw others eating pizza by the slice and those slices are huge. Their '2 slices and a soda' option would certainly fill you up. Our pizza arrived. It looked well cooked and had a fair amount of toppings. At first bite the crust was crispy, but the pizza had. . . no flavor? Now this is my experience, and there are plenty of reviews that rave about the pizza. This is my experience. Take it or leave it. The thin crust was not as thin as I would expect on a NY style thin crust pizza. The very bottom of the dough was crispy at first, but between the outer crust and the sauce it was 'doughy'. The sauce is very bland. It is a light, crushed tomato variety, which I actually prefer over a heavy sauce. This sauce however would benefit by using San Marzano tomatoes for their 'bright' flavor and a bit of added garlic and/or oregano. Anything really. I couldn't taste the sauce at all. The cheese was 'sriingy' as we do love our pizza to be. Again, there was no real flavor associated with the cheese. Maybe if we got a pizza loaded with meat it would translate better. I ate one piece at the restaurant because it really wasn't worth the chewing effort. I re-cooked a slice at home in my skillet to cook the 'doughy' crust, and added basil and good olive oil after it was done cooking. That was a definite improvement. Unfortunately, the after affects were very unwelcome. Yes, I'm sure it was the pizza. Other than tea, it was the only thing I ate that day, so no doubt it was the pizza's revenge on my digestive tract. As you see, it didn't turn out at all well for us in the food department. The waitress was excellent. The prices are no surprise. The interior looked very clean. They use nice heavy silverware. Parmesan and hot pepper flakes were offered with the pizza. All good stuff. Not sure what happened with our experience being so different. Guess everyone has a bad day.

Came here last week for a small family reunion of sorts. Oldest son is in college and middle son is serving in the military. The stars happened to align and everyone was home for a few short days. We decided to eat here. We were a party of 6. An older couple who came in about 5-10 minutes after us (I mean when we got seated there was another couple who just finished up, they left, their table got cleaned off and THEN this new couple came and sat at this table) got their orders taken before us and their food obviously came before ours as well. They also were offered the complimentary pizza slices that Casa always used to offer. But my last 4 or 5 trips here either they didn't give us the complimentary slices, or they didn't have any, or we had to ask to get them. So not sure what the deal is any more. My dish was very tasty. I had the veal Marsala. It was even better the day after. 2 of the pizzas we ordered were dry as hell. The taco pizza barely had any toppings on it. The meat was practically dehydrated. I think there was 1 or 2 crushed up tortilla chips. I think the whole thing had 2 tablespoons AT MOST of meat. The white clam pizza maybe had 5 clams worth of meat. No sauce. It needed olive oil or something. It needed a lot of help. And the toppings were in like the middle 4 inches of the pizza. So the crust was like 3 inches wide. I am not exaggerating. Please look at the photos. This trip may be one of my last here at Casas

The calamari was a perfect appetizer with a mix of balsamic drizzle and spicy peppers. We split the side of meatballs and they were full of flavor that was incredible. Portions are huge and the chicken piccata did not disappoint. We ended our meal with a espresso martini and split the tiramisu. A perfect ending to an amazing meal. Next time I really want to try the pizza as many ordered that around us and it looked delicious. I cannot wait to return. Thank you to the hard working wait staff that also made the evening so nice!

The ambiance of the restaurant is great, very warm rustic feel and I loved the look of the big windows at the back of the dining room with the springtime trees in bloom outside. Started with some cocktails and warm bread with olive oil. We decided on a margherita pizza to split as an appetizer along with some Parmesan fries. My boyfriend got gnocchi for his entree while I got eggplant Parmesan. Boyfriend really loved his gnocchi, he commented on how soft and pillowy it was and finished the whole bowl; he also gave me a bite of it and can also concur that the quality of the gnocchi they use is great. My eggplant parm was pretty good; not my favorite one that I've ever had, but still good. It's also a very sizable portion so I had plenty to take home. The pizza was probably the highlight of the meal for me, absolutely delicious and would definitely return for that pizza alone. We got a dessert special to go, and they also offer complimentary limoncello shots to finish off your time there. To top it all off, the service here was personable, attentive and overall excellent. This is definitely a place for us to always keep on our radar whenever we're in the area.

Ordering was very easy online, even though the prices seemed a bit high. We ordered $109 worth of food...Arancini ($16), garlic bread with cheese($16), Penne al Vodka with sautéed chicken($32), and the Alfredo with chicken cutlet($38). I was expecting a lot for prices like these. The Arancini were 5 pieces the size of golf balls and the flavor was ok, not worth $16, out garlic bread with cheese ($16) was left out of our order, the penne vodka with sautéed chicken ($32) was dry and there were 5 small pieces of chicken, and the baked penne chicken Alfredo had broken sauce, full of grease and almost inedible...I threw out most of it. I expected so much more from this establishment. The parking lot was packed and parking just to get takeout was challenging, but the food and prices were amazingly disappointing. We may try their pizza to see if that is any better, but I would not recommend the pasta dishes. I can see charging g prices like that if the pasta was homemade, but even that is a stretch. 3 stars is generous

Third stop of the day today. We'll be doing six today on the fourth leg of the RI FOOD FIGHTS…read more Lord of the Pies event. Three more coming tonight, but Vittorias N Y Pizza ended the afternoon portion of our tour. Last year this place broke something in me. I thought I understood pizza. Thought I'd eaten everything that mattered, knew all the styles, had the hierarchy figured out. Then I had their grandma slice at the end of a long night after three other stops, and it demolished everything I thought I knew. I've been back multiple times since. Today just confirmed what I already know. That grandma slice is perfect. Not hyperbole. Actually perfect. The crust alone would be enough. Firm, airy, crunchy. Delicious. They could serve me nothing but that crust and it would beat 95% of the pizza in Rhode Island. That's not an exaggeration either. The texture hits every note. Structure without being heavy. Crispness without brittleness. Flavor that doesn't need anything on top to justify itself. Then the sauce. Fresh in a way that hits immediately. You can taste each component. Normally I'm not a fan of sauce with visible chunks of tomato. Usually means someone got lazy with a can opener. This works differently. The chunks add texture, brightness, proof that someone crushed these by hand and knew exactly what they were making. It's a symphony. Every element pulling its weight, nothing competing for attention. Music in your mouth. The fresh mozzarella underneath brings everything together and protects the crust from becoming soggy. That creamy base against the bright sauce against that transcendent crust. Each component is superior to almost anywhere. Together they become something that makes you question why anyone bothers making pizza any other way. This is THE hidden gem in Rhode Island. Not on Federal Hill getting all the tourist traffic. Not in Providence with the food media buzz. Just Westerly, quietly making the best individual slice I've had anywhere. Third stop of the afternoon. Stomach already working. Brain cataloging differences between places. And this slice cuts through all of that noise like a knife. Still perfect. Still the slice that everything else gets measured against a d never loses. Last year I said it was the best pizza I'd had in Rhode Island outside the prime years of Twins and Caserta. I said it was top five anywhere. I'm not walking any of that back. If anything, the consistency of perfection makes it more impressive. The place itself is unassuming. Brick oven visible behind the counter. Slices in the case. Real plates and silverware when you eat in. That's cool. No pretense. No marketing. Just people who know how to make pizza doing it as well as anyone. They have other styles. Lots of different flavor combinations to suit your desires. They had a twice baked potato pizza on a New York crust. A chicken fajita pizza. Some great looking Sicilian pies. There's even a Gorgonzola version off the grandma pie. The standard cheeses and pepperonis, etc. So there's something for everyone. But for me, it's that Grandma slice. There's nothing else like it. Worth the drive to Westerly. Worth whatever wait there might be. Worth coming back to again and again just to make sure your memory wasn't playing tricks on you. It wasn't. This is still the one. Three more stops tonight. Good luck to them.

RI Food Fight- Lord of the Pies 2024 Review…read more We had tickets to a show at The Ocean Mist. When in the area, why not trade in our coupon for a free slice at Vittoria's. We wanted to keep the baseline so we cashed in on a free cheese slice. We purchased a Grandma's gorgonzola slice and a cannoli. 3. The Cheese slice ( maybe a little too ehavy ahnded with the cheese but could have used a little flavoring- I am just so accustomed to garlic) 2. Grandma's Gorganzola! DELICIOUS! As I kept taking bites it got better and better. I am going to think about this pizza for awhile 1. THE CANNOLI!!! SO GOOD! The winner here. Ample parking, clean restaurant with a few booths and the staff were very friendly.
