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.

Burnt onion rings that were not edible.

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.

Vegetable pizza

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.

Buffalo chicken pizza

I grew up eating Excellent pizza The best! Delicious crust. I give 4/5 because overall the food is delicious .. but the costumer service could be a lil better .. even though its ALWAYS been like that we used to it. I ordered a LG Buffalo chicken pizza ($15) got told 15-20 mins .. got my pizza on time. LOVE this Buffalo sauce because it isnt vinegary at all! Perf amount of cheese Grilled chicken Light and crunchy crust!

5 Stars for what may be my favorite specialty pizza ever. Pro-tip: order the G.O.A.T. Pizza…read more We had a hankering for pizza and Francesco's absolutely hit the spot. Their pizza is NY style thin crust (YUM) and though you can order a typical Margherita pizza, I highly suggest looking through the specialty pizza options. We got the G.O.A.T. Pizza which comes with mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, caramelized onions, herbs, and hot honey drizzle. It's even better than it sounds. This was the perfect combo of garlicky savory cheese and sweet honey with the tiniest kick. I could have eaten the entire large pizza on my own. I'm in RI for one more week and trust that I will order this again. I also got the 10 piece order of wings with BBQ sauce and was so pleasantly surprised to see it came on top of caramelized onions! It was there in the description, but I missed it. They were so good I was picking them out by hand and enjoying them. The wings were thick and full of meat. They had an option to get them extra well done, but I love exactly how they came regularly. I would definitely order these again. Overall, super impressed. Highly recommended!

I can't eat cheese and I'm always grateful for pizza shops that offer vegan cheese and a good pizza. Just because I can't eat cheese, doesn't mean I want to eat a lame pizza. And this place delivers on a great vegan pizza! Whether you're vegan, lactose intolerant, a meat lover, vegetarian, or gluten free - there is something for you and this is your sign to order pizza for dinner tonight. They also offer catering, I used them for work before too. Super convenient and easy to work with.

If I had known this shop was open late, I would have been coming here more often. My friend and I…read morewere hungry around 11:30 pm on Friday night and this was one of the few open spots in the area with affordable good food. There was street parking and at the time, it was free. There were about 4 parties inside when we walked in, which gave us some time to think about which slices we wanted. We eventually went with the arugula, cranberry, balsamic drizzle, and I think feta along with the spicy sun dried tomato. The slices are pretty big and they do put them in the oven before handing them over. Each slice is about $4-$6, but you can also order whole pies. There was seating inside, but the air conditioning was too strong, so we found a table outside. Before stepping out, we poured ourselves cups of complimentary water. The crust is crispy and thin so you really get to taste all the toppings. The arugula one was really good. I enjoyed the different flavors: sweet, salty, creamy, acidic, and surprisingly, the arugula was not overly bitter. The sun-dried tomato one was also good. I am typically not a fan but this one was good since the tomato wasn't tough, or overly acidic. I would highly recommend Fellini's for great food at a good price. I would consider this location to be better for quick trips, or take out to eat the food at the Pedestrian bridge, but they do have another location in Cranston which is prettier and bigger for sit down, family style, and large groups.

It's gonna be a short review. Some of the best pizza by the slice I have ever had. Tons of…read moreselection. Friendly staff. My slice (ricotta, hot honey, pepperoni, basil) tasted extremely fresh and the use of high quality ingredients was evident. Amazing crust. If I lived in Providence, I would be there weekly.

We got some pizza slabs, and did think they would be a bit bigger. But they were tasty! As were the wings and the drinks! Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely dine here again if I was at Level 99!

We stopped in while spending time at Level99, but unfortunately the experience was disappointing…read more The service was subpar from start to finish. The bartender barely made eye contact, and when I ordered a spicy tequila soda, I was served with Tajín sprinkled on top--not exactly what I'd expect for a spicy drink. The food was equally underwhelming. The pepperoni pizza came out with the pepperoni completely burnt. When we mentioned it, we were told that's simply how they prepare it, so keep that in mind if you order pizza here. The wings were decent and had a good amount of meat on them, but that was about the only highlight. The nachos arrived swimming in grease, making them difficult to enjoy, and the toppings were just average. The French fries were another issue--they appeared to have been cooked in the same fryer as seafood. This wasn't disclosed, and the fries came out tasting noticeably fishy. Thankfully, I don't have a seafood allergy, but that could be a serious concern for someone who does. The ambiance was fine, but overall the food and service left a lot to be desired, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
