Besides having fantastic food, Frank is a an even better human being. He helped an out of town stranger in need. I wish I lived nearby so I could make this my go to pizza place. Grazie for the deliciousness and the help. Tony...Michigan read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for months, since it's close to my work, but the many 1-star Yelp reviews scared me away. But, my coworker John - who is a blue-collar food connoisseur of sorts, and has made many good suggestions for my Yelp reviews - eats here often. Last week, he brought a pepperoni pizza from here back to the shop, and gave me a couple slices. I have to say, it tasted excellent! Actually, I liked Excellent's pizza better than pizza from Big Cheese! It was so good, that I went back to Excellent Pizza later that week, to get a small pepperoni pizza of my own. The crust is the perfect consistency, and the cheese, pepperoni and sauce all blend together in a delicious medley. Best of all, it did not give me heartburn. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the cheese and toppings tend to slide off the pizza. I called my order ahead and went to pick it up. While I wouldn't describe the owner and his wife as warm, gregarious people, I also didn't find them rude, as other reviewers have described them. But, I'm not there to make friends, just to get delicious pizza. As for other reviewers' hygiene concerns, the kitchen appeared clean, and I don't care if they wear gloves or not, as hand-washing goes a long way. I bet a lot of food workers didn't wear gloves 30 years ago, and my generation somehow survived. read more

I am so disgusted after 27 years of being a faithful customer. To serve food like this is absolutely disgusting. I am so upset by this. I was a loyal customer and bragged about this place. Not anymore I am done, and burnt onion rings. Their feta and spinach pizza is a joke--crumbles of feta. Today my steak sandwich fell apart because no one cares enough to toast the bread. I figured maybe an off day. Three weeks in a row is not an off day. DONE! Every chance I get to share a review, I will. Nothing will get done about this. The food tells you they don't care. read more

I live in Florida now but every time I come to Providence I have to stop here. This is the only place that stays consistent with customer service and the pizza is delicious. I have seen different reviews and like I don't think they going to the same place lol. I will say go and experience it your self, you go there for food and that's the best part. People are never happy lol read more

The pizza is okay not the greatest, I would rate this place a 3.4 they make the food really quick and the ingredients taste pretty fresh. I am not a fan of the crust but chicken wings and Gyros are really good. One really disappointing thing about excellent pizza is that the customer service is horrible. The employees are very rude and always try to hang up on you fast while someone is ordering food. They are not friendly at all. If the customer service was better I'd definitely order food from here more often. read more

Excellent Pizza - Buffalo chicken pizza - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Ordered for the first time today online. Antipasto with Balsamic dressing. Head over to pick up and they didn't have my dressing which was no big deal, it happens. He offered me a bottled beverage "on him" for the inconvenience, which was very nice, and appreciated. The salad was VERY fresh and enjoyable, BUT, just incase they were unaware, an antipasto is more than a container full of lettuce, 6 pieces of tomato and a few strips of salami...where's the onions, peppers, cucumbers, ham, cheese ??? Disappointed read more

As much as I read reviews about the employees / owner, it is true attitude is a thing, but man, that food is incredible. I grew up in the area for 15+ years and have been disappointed. Gotta have tough skin and enjoy this real atmosphere. I personally been around it my whole life and got used to it, that's what gives it the character knowing it's so raw. The steak and cheese grinder is delicious, I love how they cook the steak / roast the bun, and then they bake it again with the steak in it ! That is my favorite part and gives it that crunch. read more

Excellent Pizza - a cut in half sandwich on a paper plate - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

worst italian grinder ever!!! full of cooked salami,no italian meats,,, neverrrr again

Excellent is basic but good food, the food can be somewhat inconsistent but it's always good!

I reinstalled this app just to leave a review here. Whenever I called to place an order the customer service was rude and sounded like they can care less. That's not the worst part. I ordered a large pizza and had two slices. About 4-5 hour later I had the symptoms of food poisoning all night and I still do. Do not order from this place. read more

My go to place for 15+ years and family go to place longer than that! Pizza is delicious! Haven't tried anything else because I can't ever chose anything because pizza is so good. The owners and staff are very friendly to their customers and the kitchen area is always clean. Like everyone else in the world, people do get tired and might have off days at work but overall my experience has been good and they always make my order how I ask for it, especially the younger guys serving. read more

Great food from pizza to subs to apps. They're quick with delivery and I hope they never change the recipes.

More like average pizza. Skimpy on the sauce, cheese lacking flavor and a little greasy. Crust & dough were good.

Definitely doesn't live up to its name. Not so excellent. Like the other reviews, I found the pizza to be very greasy very difficult to eat straight out of the oven. All the toppings fell right off. Very little sauce and the sauce that was there had no real flavor to it. Yes I haf buffalo wings, but the sauce on the buffalo wings actually out powered the chicken and it was soooo hot that you never got the true flavor. On the other hand, the staff workers are amazing group of people. Very gracious lots of customer service there. read more

Worst Fish N Chips I've ever had from Here. I always thought it was the best around but it has taken a turn for the worst. Got Home and the Tarter Sauce spilled all over the fries, no lid was placed on top. The Fish was all batter there was barely any Fish inside and if there was fish it was over cooked. Sad to say but I will never come back for Fish N Chips here read more

Got a sandwich here today and it was not tasty at all. The bread was stale and sandwich was cold.I would rather get a sandwich at subway and I don't particularly care for subway either. Overall not good and wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

Not the cleanest place or greatest customer service, but I usually rate by food quality. I eat italian grinders any chance I get and this one was pretty good. I was disappointed that it only has one type of meat which was salami, but it did not lack flavor. Bread tasted fresh and soft. I asked for banana peppers on it which gave it some kick. Overall it was a decent grinder. read more

Person who took my order wrote down the incorrect number, delivery driver started yelling at me for having to wait for a paying customer as if he were my father or laying down the pipe every night. read more

Their is great does not seam like much but its very for the price the wings are great just like the pizza and fries. The steak and cheese is the BOOM. Just a great mom and pop spot. read more

10/15/17 at or about 9:45 pm I stopped at Excellent Pizza since postal carrier had recommended it. I walked in to no greeting, no friendliness, not being asked what I would like. Just silence from the counter guy with no personality and an attitude I can only describe as unfriendly and waiting for ME to speak. I had to ask for a menu. He actually tossed it on the counter in front of me without handing it to me. He took my order and took a previous sandwich out of the oven and placed it on wrapping paper he had placed on the counter. Moving along, I ordered a small veal parm sandwich. He then placed his hand over the sandwich on the paper, cut it while touching the food. No gloves, no clue. He went to the prep table, started building another sandwich, no glove, no clue and put that second sandwich in the oven then picked up a paper, cardboard type plate that he used for meat of the current sandwich that he had dropped on the floor. When he picked it up he tossed on the top of a pile of what looked like a small stack of similar paper prep material in the back area of the kitchen visible to anyone looking. That was it for me. I hollered, "Not only are you not wearing gloves but you put that item your dropped on the floor back on the counter. His asinine response was, and I quote; "It's a plate." I told him "if it hit the floor it belongs in the trash." No clue, no care. I told him I was out of there and left. Knowing this was a family owned business I wondered if the family knew what this degenerate was doing to the business but now, after reading the reviews of others, it seems he's a clone. Obviously, if this drone picks items off the floor to put back into the production of food products I have reason to think he is capable of anything. I am actually thinking of a complaint to the health department based on what I had witnessed. I'll be damned if I ever go back and it seems they haven't claimed this business on YELP either. Wonder why. All part of that "We do it all to you" attitude? This is not an "off day" as suggested by one reviewer. It's an ongoing process and the second (last) time I care to experience it. Too many one star reviews with similar experiences for it to be anything else. read more

The pizza is delicious!! The customer service from the owners is a different story! They are quite on the rude side but on the bright side, the delivery guys are friendlier! read more

I just had the gyro for the first time and it was great! Nicely cooked and not overdone... The owner is very personable also

This past inauguration day, I walk into the grocery store next to Excellent Pizza, a restaurant that I have been a faithful customer since the 90's, and I buy 2 cans of Ginger Ale. I asked the cashier if he had straws. And he kindly tells me, he did not have any. So on the way to my car, I thought, "oh, let me see if I can grab a couple straws from Excellent Pizza". I walk in and see the owner sitting at the end of the counter as she is talking to a couple clients who are also at the counter. I walk up to her and say "excuse me, could I steal couple straws". And this was her reply, as the box of straw sat there right in front of her, at arms reach. "NO!!!" At her first "NO" I thought she was joking, I smirked and asked her "are you serious?". Still smiling. She continues: "Yes!! Why? Are you buying a drink here? If you were buying a drink here, yeah but if not, then NO, nothing is free here, What do you think this is here, the White House? She's extremely loud and rude, so that the customers at the counter can hear her including the other customer eating at one of the tables. At that point, I kept my mouth shut and walked out... Now please tell me; 1) Was I wrong for asking for 2 straws? And Just shake it off and keep walking in there with a big smile and keep ordering , like that just didn't happen. Or 2) should I just never buy anything from there anymore read more

Gave this place a try and it wasn't what I had expected. The pizza was too thin... When I held it up it was too soggy and the cheese was falling off. The sauce wasn't good either... read more

Excellent Pizza - Not sure why my pizza looks like this when I held it to eat... Taste wasn't good and the cheese stuck to the other pizzas .... - Pizza Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Close to my office so I tried it . The woman behind the counter took my order, then disappeared. I ordered a cheeseburger sub, which they put in the oven? ...so after like 20 minutes she comes running out and opens the oven and I see her take out a charcoaled sandwich...and then she tries to wrap it up! I said, I think it's a little burnt. The guy who is fixing the refrigerator says...that's just a little over-toasted. The lady then says, "you want new bread?". I said yes, please. After about 5 more minutes she opens the oven...takes out the new toasted bread and slaps all of the contents from the old burnt bread on it. I left and took it back to the office. The cheeseburger itself was also burnt...to a non-edible level like shoe leather. . Gross....NEVER again. read more

I love Excellent Pizza. Their fast, efficient, and good. Their grinders are always really tasty as is their fish and chips on Friday.

I love their buffalo chicken wrap. I get it all the time. My only complaint is too much dressing on the antipasto. Get it on the side.

Food is ok. Its the counter service the younger guy and the owners working have no personality at all!! So rude, I have been there a few times and only because the food was OK I continue to go but I will not go there any longer makes you feel like you're doing them a favor by going there to eat when this day in age there is tons of businesses like that and one has many options and does not need to go there for rude service They don't use gloves they're constantly touching the food with the hands and then touching the money at the same time not good read more

I have been coming here since I started coming to RI in 1996. It's a Greek style pizza made by super friendly people. We got our wedding rehearsal meal from here. Their Italian grinders are cotto salami, but wicked tasty. The peppers they use for hots are delicious. I not only enjoy getting to eat my food from here, I also enjoy talking with the owners and employees. read more

My family and I have been eating here for more than a decade. Now I live in a place that has great "foodie" pizza, but not a lot of places to just get a good pie. Excellent's is a must for me whenever I come home and I'd highly recommend it. read more

Rude staff, swearing at each other all the time...good pizza though. The experience of listening to this led me to not return

They should thank yelp for the 1 star. Worse customer service ever, if you want to give them money for treating you like shit, be my guest. Younger guy at the counter threw my change at me, was nothing but being disrespectful to the customers. Like the other reviewers says, they do not wear gloves when making the food. The health department need to shut this place down. They don't know how to own a business or even make food, most of their food is frozen anyways. I could've gone to stop and shop and buy frozen tenders and put it in the oven myself. read more

This is Mike Alves's favorite pizza spot and not only is the food great but the family is wonderful!!!!

Heard about this place from a few friends.. Let me tell you food is on point. Pizza is excellent no pun intended. Sat at the high top table, watched the food come out of the oven. I wanted everything! Once I was done with my Excellent Special I ordered a pizza to go! 10 min ride home still tasted as good as it looked when it came out! read more

I have been going to this pizza place for years now. I remember going with my dad and always ordering the same thing, chicken grinder and a large pizza. I've never had a problem with the food at all, their food is delicious. Whenever I am craving food from here I dread calling because every single time they are rude, for example I called today I placed my order for delivery and I was expecting to pay through the phone because I do not have cash on me, as soon as I'm about to tell the guy I'm going to pay through the phone he hangs up on me. Mind you I already know what to expect when I call this place but I'm nice and place my order like I would in any other place. But honestly after so long it's getting really annoying and it's getting to the point where I most likely won't order from here anymore. It's very sad but it doesn't hurt to be nice especially if you want business. Good bye excellent after today you've lost a very loyal customer. read more

These are people with some serious attitude problems. I ordered a large pepperoni and when it arrived it was half pepperoni and half cheese. When I called the man back he claimed that's what I ordered and that he read it back to me but he lied. The only attempt he made to rectify the situation was to have me wait another 40 minutes for another pizza he didn't even offer me any kind of discount or credit. Very poooooooooooor customer service. He said return the pizza untouched these people aren't professional. read more
