Went out of my way to grab cannolis for a dinner party. They were soggy not fresh. Plus the rude woman at the counter ripped the box as she was putting them in and gave it to me anyway. The presentation was awful not to mention the soggy cannolis. read more

Amazing pastries and fast service. My go to bakery in Providence especially for biscotti

Not sure what the woman's problem was.. even the young girl working with her asked if she was okay. She was rude and mean to me even though I purchased many items and spent a lot of money. Food was decent. I got pastry and pizza and calzones. Felt bad when I left. She ruined my day with her bad attitude read more

Deluise is a cute little bakery my friends and I stopped by just before leaving Providence. Apparently, they've been open for the past 70 years, which is quite impressive, so I had to see what all the fuss was about. The staff was very friendly and helped us pick out a box of assorted pastries which we shared back at our Air Bnb which was quite delicious! I also purchased a savory chicken parmesan pastry to eat for lunch before hopping on my flight back home, and baybaay it was everything; probably my favorite thing I ate from there. All in all, I can see why the DeLuise Bakery has been around for the past 70 years. read more

I've been wanting to try the donuts out at Deluise Bakery for awhile now. I finally made the trip over. Parking was easy right out front. When I walked in I was surprised at how many donut options they had! They had the chocolate frosted ones they are known for, but also different jelly filled donuts, quite the variety. I also noticed they had many other Italian bakery staples like pizza strips and sfogliatelle. The donut itself was light and fluffy and the frosting on top was tasty. The jelly in the jelly donuts seemed to be homemade and was quite tasty as well. The girl manning the counter was friendly and the prices were super reasonable. I will be back again soon! read more

Great old school neighborhood bakery. A variety of offerings; but DON'T miss out on the FANTASTIC donuts they offer...easily some of THE BEST traditional donuts around (and extremely reasonably priced! The young woman that helped me with a couple of questions had a great & infectious smile (what kind of jelly in the jelly donut, what's coming out of the oven soon that smells incredible?) Gonna do a savory trip soon to try some of the breads & rolls. read more

Went around 1:00 on a Sunday and the doughnuts were pretty much wiped out. A good sign. I had a raspberry stick, it was outstanding. My son had a brownie and blueberry cinnamon roll, both were clearly top of the line in terms of ingredients and lights out good. Three items came to $11 which is criminally cheap for that type of quality. Old school business has been around for many years for a reason. read more

40 years ago this Providence, RI bakery was terrible, so I should have known better but I read how great the Bismarcks are. Well, I had to order them in advance, plus pay in advance and I once again should have known better. The girl behind the counter was not very helpful in the description of these except to say they were Black Raspberry filling. My bad that I didn't ask if it was a tub of jelly or a real homemade compote. It was jelly and it was cloyingly sweet. They added tons of this jelly with the sweetest whipped cream into the driest pastry ever and drenched it with powdered sugar around the entire pastry! Yuck! Looks like I have to stick with Antonio's in Warwick, RI as he makes the lightest pastry with just the right amount of real raspberry compote and adult style whipped cream. Deluise Bakery has not updated their products in this millennium. This was money not well spent as I already threw the other 5 Bismarcks in the trash! read more

This review is based on my visit in February for the #BestDonutsRI competition. We arrived after 8am on a Saturday. Parking is on the street, and we were lucky to find one in front of the bakery. There was a good amount of bakery goods and donuts. The donut trays were not all full, but I'm not sure if people arrived when they opened at 7am. While we decided which donut to get with our coupons, one of the staff asked if we would like a fresh donut twists they were currently making in the back, on the house. We accepted the gesture, and the twists were definitely fresh, warm, and soft. We chose a Sugar Raised Donut and a Chocolate Frosted Raised Donut. I tried the Sugar Raised and noticed the dough was not sweet and it didn't have any taste to it. It was denser than the freshly made twists. For the Chocolate Frosted, the base was the same, and the chocolate frosting was the best part, super rich and creamy. Overall, the donuts are not what we like. read more

2.5/5 No line at 11:00AM on a Saturday. Pros: -Lots of delicious-looking pastries -Great service -Inexpensive Cons -Street parking -Cake donuts a bit dry -- $2.20 for 2 donuts Chocolate Frosted Cake Donut Plain cake donut with chocolate frosting. The cake donut is a bit dry, but the chocolate frosting is delicious. It's much thicker (like buttercream) than other chocolate donut frostings. However, it's not overly sweet. Plain Glazed Donut Glazed yeast donut. Very solid light and fluffy texture but I didn't love the taste of the dough/glaze. Other donut options: chocolate sprinkle, sugar-coated. read more

The bakery was wonderful. The food, the service, and ambiance were all fun. My favorite was the cannolis.

This review is for the donutss only I came here for my father's birthday and we got the raspberry jelly and the lemon cream all of them were excellent. Some of the best donuts I've had. The counter person was super nice and patient with us. They have parking on the street which is free Price is very reasonable at some point I would like to try some of their cakes. read more

A staple of Providence's Italian community since 1938 it was early Friday morning that a stop was made at DeLuise Bakery, the original location in Cranston now with a satellite in Mount Pleasant that still doing things the same way they always have to the delight of locals from Tuesday through Sunday. Situated at 1251 Chalkstone Avenue adjacent a string of small businesses, each with their own designated parking though none were open at 7:00am, it was with a light rain falling that DeLuise was found empty, the smell of Yeast hanging in air and service exceedingly pleasant from a woman who not only seemed interested in making a sale but also teaching a history lesson. Different from other local Bakeries in terms of their offerings, scratch-made Doughnuts filling one whole case with others featuring a collection of Pies, Cakes and Ethnic Pastries, it was after being gifted a fluffy ring topped in Chocolate Frosting that eight additional items were purchased, the simple Glazed Doughnut clearly not from a mix given its base that eats something like Angel Food but with more thickness. Moving next to a pair of heartier Doughnuts, both the Old Fashioned and Twist offering a touch of tanginess by way of Sour Cream, fans of filled Doughnuts should not miss out on Bismarks heavily coated in Powdered Sugar and stuffed with housemade Raspberry Preserves, the cost about 1/4 that of Orwasher's in New York and the overall quality of both Dough and Fruit better. Not about to pass on some of the Italian offerings, but stopping along the way for a particularly tart Lemon Bar and oblong Danish with light lamination topped by a thin layer of Cream Cheese, suffice it to say that DeLuise's Zeppole does not suffer the sogginess of so many others despite being packed with Custard while their Sfogliatelle does not separate quite as cleanly as that of The Original Italian Bakery in Johnston, though it is still very good. read more

Quality pastries at affordable and good prices, super friendly staff, zero complaints.

Old school and I just learned of it! The lobster tail was amazing, so many authentic fresh goodies. Staff was super helpful and friendly

Came here to grab a donut on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The chocolate frosting was calling my name so I got a donut ($1.25) and a sfogliatella ($2.75). The donut reminded me of a Dunkin' Donut's plain stick. But the chocolate frosting was what was SO AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!! I've been wanting this kind of perfect frosting for ages and I finally found it! Oh man, it was soooo good. Just the right amount of sugariness and chocolate flavor. THE BEST! I can't imagine how their cakes would taste covered in all this goodness. Definitely go check it out! read more

If I could give -10 I would. Mom ordered a Black Forrest Cake for my birthday, and was quoted $17.95. Called today to verify price before pickup, was told $18.95. When cake was picked up they charged $19.95. They did not make a Black Forrest cake, they made chocolate with chocolate frosting. When I called the bakery to let them know, I was rudely told they don't do special orders, that they're an Italian bakery that doesn't make Black Forrest cakes! Then to top it the woman "assisting" me said, "So what, do you want a dollar back?". I would never recommend this shady place. read more

I can't get passed those donuts. I want to try other things, but those darn donuts. Yummm. The crunchy old fashioned donut was perfect and the yeasted chocolate glazed was literally one of the best I've ever had. So fluffy, but dense and doughy. Chewy and satisfying. Ugh, love it. read more

THIS PLACE IS LIKE CRACK!! I'm new to the neighborhood and thought I would stop by for my hubby's love of donuts. We ordered so many things like donuts, a cannoli, brownies, cheesecake, cheese danish, spinach cheese & pepperoni calzone....and let me just say EVERY DANG THING WAS DELICIOUS!! I have been to multiple bakeries such a Wright's (overrated) and lasalle (good but a bit pricey) and this place takes the cake! My first time here and I will be going back for more!! We noticed an older man walk out from the back and assume he is the baker...we both agreed he is the best baker of all time. Have never been to a bakery and loved every single thing I've ordered but I did. COME TO THIS PLACE !!! read more

It looks small from the outside, but this bakery has everything. They have a really great selection of pastry, breads and baked foods for extremely reasonable prices. When you walk in its almost overwhelming because it smells amazing and you just want to eat everything you see. OH the donuts. They are the amazing, heavy, old fashioned kind that really fill you up. Make sure you get one of the chocolate frosted ones... they are heavenly. The people here are super nice too. I was so overwhelmed by all of the pastry, but the woman behind the counter helped me pick out the good stuff and I left happy with my 1/2 dozen. I love this place and I'll be back soon. read more

It has happened my friends. The day has come. A bakery has finally rocked out a Bismark that can compete with my precious, now closed, Butlers in Westport. I never thought it would happen. It has taken years. Perfect cream, abundant flavorful jam, magic. I do prefer the longer shaped Bismarks to the round ones but that's just a weird personal preference lol. They taste the same. I've tried the brownie, a vanilla vanilla cupcake, a rum cake, mini blueberry turnover, chocolate frosted donut, sugar coated donut, and a mini cannoli. Everything was awesome. Fudgy brownie. Super moist cake. The apple turnover is a tad too over spiced for me but some may like it. Normal small portions, which I super love. Awesome prices with everything except the Bismark being under $1. You hear that? Suck it Seven Stars. with your $3+ brownies. I have a new love, and it is you Deluise. 2015 update- Still awesome :) This is one of my very favorite bakeries read more

I've only ever tried the donuts and I'm in love with them. I can only imagine how everything else is.

In town for a baseball tournament and drove by the bakery on the way to a nearby field. Did a quick Yelp check and saw the great reviews so decided to stop by. Hands down one of, if not the, best danish I have ever had. Told other parents who quickly descended on the bakery. Everything we tried was simply awesome. Definitely off the beaten path but man I wished I lived closer as it would be a weekend regular spot. read more

I can't believe I've never come to Deluise Bakery in the past! I have been missing out all these years. This past weekend we stopped in to get some pastries before we visited my mother and I was taken aback by the smells, the pastries, and the people. It reminded me of those Italian bakeries that used to be all over Rhode Island when I was growing up. They have it all, brownies, donuts, danish, pies, cakes, spinach pies, pizza strips, whatever you can think a bakery makes, they have or make it. My favorite is and has always been the brownie. It was done right, thick fudge, weighed and the consistency of a brick with a little bit of flower at the bottom. We also bought some fresh donuts, and several items at very cheap prices. It was so good we went back Sunday for more pastries to share with out neighbor who couldn't believe we've never been here before. In fact, it was so good we did go back again on Sunday just to order some pies and a donut cake for Thanksgiving this year. Fast and friendly, cheap prices, amazing pastries that'll keep you going back. read more

I remember going to this bakery with my Mom to get delicious bday cakes, Danish pastries, donuts and awesome seasonal pies. I was in the area and stopped in. The blueberry pie was amazing ... full of wild blueberries with a delicious sugared crust. Their donuts are light and airy with delicious frostings and sugared glazes. The creullers are crisp and crunchy on the outside yet soft and cakey with a hint of nutmeg. FANTASTIC. their Italian prune cookies and apricot butter cookies are just like home made. The prices are very reasonable. Oh one more thing their fruit danish and cheese danish are also awesome. Go visit and discover this old world bakery; you will b so happy!!!!! read more

Normally when I go here, I get their classic yeast donut with chocolate frosting, but this time I decided to change it up a bit. I got a chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting. The chocolate frosting they use on their donuts is delicious. You can tell it's homemade with real chocolate and fresh. Add that frosting to a donut and BAM that donut is automatically good! Saying that, I had to dig deep to analyze just the dough part of the donut. Unfortunately, it's not the best. Both the yeast and the cake dough is pretty dry. I would recommend the cake over the yeast though. I wonder if they sell the chocolate frosting by the pound? I'd put that on everything I ate. Maybe that would get me to eat veggies... -The Donut Queen read more

I've never had a better donut. The staff is fantastic and they have a huge selection, on the weekends they often have special donuts that they don't make during the week. It's not all donuts, the cheesecake, pastries and spinach pies/eggplant parm/Italian are also delish. The craziest thing is the price, while other spots charge $$$ for subpar treats, Deluise is so affordable. read more

I've always ordered cakes from here for birthdays, anniversary parties and other events. Their donuts, pastries, breads and pizza are delicious and very reasonably priced as well. However I had a bad experience this week. I tried calling on Tuesday while they were open to order a cake and no one answered the phone for the last three hours that they were open. At one point, an employee picked up the phone and blatantly hung the phone up on me. I ended up having to call the Cranston location to order a cake from them and asked them why no one was answering the phone. They told me that they were open and they should've been answering the phone. Maybe I will try the Providence location again someday but the poor customer service is keeping me away. read more
