**November 2025: Sunday Late Morning Visit** I had ulterior motives to coming to Little Country Pizza as my friend and I had been Dambo Troll hunting all morning and I was in dire need of a bathroom. We walked in thinking we could probably grab a drink or patron the restaurant to use their facilities and were greeted by the host with open arms. I asked what their shop was known for and she immediately said the Italian Stallion was their claim to fame. My friend and I decided we could share one. The ambiance is very casual and homey. As we waited I noticed a table of self serve water along with some board games. I helped myself to a glass and was started by how crisp and clean it tasted. I drank 4 glasses of that refreshing water and even complimented it to our waitress. She proudly thanked me and said that it was well water and the same water was used to proof the pizza dough. We did wait a bit (maybe 20 minutes or so), but it looked like it was made to order and we demolished the pepperoni calzone, sandwich. I never thought to have a pepperoni pizza as the bread part of the sando and the crisp lettuce combined with the pungent raw onion gave ever bite a different texture and burst of flavor. We were happy campers. I'm still thinking about that well water even a week later. I would definitely come back again. read more

Lauren and I from RI: The Pizza State decided to meet up at Little Country Pizza in Exeter for a holiday lunch today. Pierre Boutros and Jen Boutros joined our group as experts from day one and have become friends, and we wanted to visit with them before they close for the holidays. We started with a grandma slice because that's my favorite style and I haven't had it here before. The slice arrived with that golden-brown finish and leopard spots where Pierre's oven does its best work. I picked it up. Impossibly light. I tore off a piece to check the structure. Look at that. Those aren't polite little air bubbles. Those are irregular, cathedral-sized pockets that tell you this dough got the time it needed. Pierre knows his fermentation schedule and he respects it. Most places pull grandma slices early because they're watching the clock. Pierre's watching the dough. Each bite compressed down to almost nothing, then sprang back. The cheese browned in all the right spots without going bitter. The sauce stayed underneath where it belongs on a grandma pie, supporting everything else instead of announcing itself. Pierre's parents bought this place in 1988. He grew up in it. He could cut corners now and most people wouldn't notice. He doesn't. Then we ordered two pies. One grilled chicken with pepperoni, one straight pepperoni. The chicken pizza arrives with the chicken hidden under the cheese. Smart move. Keeps it from drying out. But here's what matters: that chicken doesn't disappear under everything else. The flavor comes through clear and distinct. It tastes like the chicken in your mom's chicken soup when you were growing up. The pepperoni pie is what I judge every place by. The pepperoni cups properly. Gets those crispy edges with little pools of oil that you're either into or you're not. I'm into it. The cheese browns perfectly without crossing into bitter territory. Pierre's sauce leans savory. Not sweet like most Rhode Island places. It's balanced but you can taste the tomato and the garlic more than the sugar. Unique. Works. The crust on both pies shows the same attention to detail. Most places get it right once in a while. Pierre gets it right every time. Then we ordered a Smokey and the Bandit Samzone. Half sandwich, half calzone. It's one of Pierre's viral creations. Inside: smoked brisket and mac and cheese. That's it. Bacon studded on top. BBQ sauce on the side. The smoke hits you before you bite in. Not subtle. That brisket spent serious time in the smoker. The meat pulls apart without resistance. The mac and cheese does what it's supposed to do. Creamy. Doesn't fight with the brisket. Just supports it. The dough holds everything together without turning into a soggy mess, which is harder than it sounds when you're stuffing mac and cheese and brisket into pizza dough. We finished with an apple pie dessert pizza. It arrives covered in streusel with apple chunks breaking through the crumble. The ice cream comes on the side. Vanilla scoops dusted with cinnamon sugar. This is your mom's apple pie. The apples are soft but not mushy. The streusel adds that butter and brown sugar crunch. The crust underneath stays crisp enough to support everything without turning into a wet mess. The ice cream with warm apple pie is exactly what you want. Pierre could've stopped at pizza. He's already making some of the best in Rhode Island. But he doesn't stop. He keeps creating. Keeps making things people didn't know they wanted. That's the difference between running a pizzeria and building something that matters. read more

I can't express how pleased my family and I are eating at this wonderful restaurant in Exeter, RI. My family absolutely loved the Italian Stallion Samzone (half sandwich and half calzone). I am vegan so I ordered something that was not on the menu a pizza with spinach, olives, and mushrooms without cheese since I am allergic to dairy. I am happy to report that they gave me no problem whatsoever accommodating dairy and oil allergies unlike most restaurants. Owners Jen, Pierre, and Stavros said ch amazing human beings and were so welcoming and personable. They treated us like family. Great personalities. The homemade pizza crust is sooooo delicious!!! The cheese pepperoni and olive pizza ordered crispy was delicious! We can't wait to go back and try their sub sandwiches made with their homemade bread that is baked fresh and every day. They also have brisket, pastrami, and homemade desserts!! Fantastic! Loved it. read more

I finally made it to Little Country Pizza all the way from Bristol to try the famed Italian Stallion. It was well worth the trek! To say I inhaled it would be an understatement. Eating this was a life changing moment. I thought I knew an Italian grinder. I thought I knew calzones. But this marriage between crust and cold cut has me worshiping a new food God, the Samzone. A symphony in textures, the pizza crust is light and airy, the cheese on top melts into the edges to create that crunchy cheesy crust. The cup and char pepperoni render down into crisps, delicately fracturing when you bite down. Tucked inside was a delicious Italian grinder, thinly sliced meats, fresh veggies and dressed well. Tangy with a touch of heat, I couldn't stop eating it once I started. And I proudly cleared my plate. 10/10 would drive across the state again to eat! read more

Just yuck. Frozen, watery, lukewarm entrees. Ordering was awkward. Won't be returning.

Little Country Pizza never misses. The Italian Stallion was absolutely amazing -- hands down the best pizza creation ever. Perfectly balanced flavors, loaded with toppings, and cooked just right. You can tell real care goes into every pie. If you haven't tried the Italian Stallion yet, you're seriously missing out. This spot is officially in my regular rotation. read more

Very slow service. Took over half an hour to make a grinder. Don't bother if you are in a hurry.

Hadn't been there in years, but tried them again tonight. Man, the son has ruined it. Quality has severely dropped off. Nothing like I remember. Greasy, bland. Not good. read more

This is gonna be long but they deserve this much attention! Made the trek from Boston to Exeter after hearing about Little Country Pizza and OH MY SWEET FREAKIN' BABY JEEBUS IT WAS WORTH THE DRIVE! The place is immaculate. Plenty of seating and every table is spotless. The small bar area is well stocked and they have a great selection of beers and beverages. The minute we walked in we were greeted with a smile and a warm welcome from Jen. Definitely A+ for customer service. We ordered 2 small Samzones. The Italian Stallion and the Greek Freak. A small is HUGE! There's is no skimping on fillers. These things were like works of art. Once we finally got done admiring then we took our first bite. When I tell you it's like biting into a piece of heaven I mean it. The dough was perfectly cooked and had the best crisp. It's not overwhelmingly thick so you really get an enjoyable bite of everything. Like I said before, they don't skimp on fillings. The side of taziki we got with our Greek Freak was absolutely some of the BEST I've ever had. Flavor was the perfect balance of garlic and cucumber and the consistency was thick, not soupy like some places. It was so good we bought a pint! When Jen came to check on how we were doing and asked how everything was I told her that it was like "sex in a sandwich". Yeah... perhaps a little crass but I meant it. That's how amazing everything was. After that statement, Chef Pierre came out to say Hi because appreciated the sentiment. We were lucky enough to get a taste of his homemade hot sauce. This stuff blows every other hot sauce out of the water. Perfect balance of savory, smoke, and heat. He definitely knows how to cook and you can tell he's passionate about every single thing he prepares. From the minute we walked in to the moment we left we experienced nothing but absolute greatness! I HIGHLY recommend everyone make the trek and fill your bellies with ALL of the deliciousness that they make! read more

Way too greasy and salty! I heard great things about this spot and all we really got from the meal was indigestion! Blech. The appetizers and pizza are all advertised as homemade, but in reality the food is not made right. We started with meatballs and mozzarella sticks - classic pizza join fare. Our main course was a cheese pizza. Simple! The meatballs were way too salty and had an odd texture. They had an unpleasant toughness on the outside and the entire ball was way too salty. While I appreciate they weren't the mass produced CISCO meatballs many spots used and the sauce and mozzarella cheese on top were nice, they entire thing was a chore to eat due to the salt level (we tossed them). The mozzarella sticks were even saltier! They looked like a standard frozen cheese stick, but the cheese they use similarly was way too salty. We threw them out. The red sauce for dipping was nice though. Finally, the cheese pizza we liked! The sauce and cheese were great and the crust was nice and light. However, what we soon realized is that is was soaked in oil/grease. The box was entirely soaked. The combination of the three above gave us stomach aches and a bad sleep all night. I am not sure if we just lucked out on bad batches, but we won't be back. I would not recommend this spot either. read more

Onion Rings were good. Italian Stallion was not worth the $25 price. Garden salad with chicken? The color of the chicken, grey, threw me off and couldnt eat it-greens were too wet as well so it was soggy and was thrown away. Not sure ill be back-$49 plus a $10 tip and I feel ripped off. read more

Always a treat ! My favorite is the Italian Stallion. Definitely worth the drive. They have a great menu.

My first time ordering from this place and it will definitely be my last almost $90 for 3 grinders and elbow macaroni with meatballs. The food was horrible, meatballs tasted like the frozen ones you get in a bag at Stop & Stop macaroni was over cooked and the grinders were dry and had hardly any flavor....it was odd. When I called to complain the man ended up yelling at me and insinuated that there was something wrong with me and not his food and his prices. Long story short save your money and time and don't order from these people. read more

This is a pretty decent spot if you happen to be driving by, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. It's cozy and seems like a real mom-and-pop type place with very nice staff. I enjoyed eating in the sun outside at the picnic tables. Tried the famous Italian stallion and it was good, but not rave worthy. The best part was the crispy pepperoni on top. The sandwich itself was a little too vinegary (and served with a side of vinegar which was certainly not necessary) read more

I had a pizza at 300 pm on Saturday February 10th 2024 . By far one of the worst pizzas I've ever had You better off going to Walmart and buying a frozen pizza then you are eating one at Little Country Pizza. I hate to give a bad review but it's important for the restaurant, and the Pay public to hear the truth about food quality . If you're going to have a good restaurant and returning customers . I was with a large group. I'm about 20 people, and nobody in our group was impressed with their food. Sorry hope you don't take it to heart and you improve on your food and maybe we'll give it another try someday!!! read more

The cake was quite exquisite and very cheap and flavorful the Italian stallion flavors in my mouth. I've never felt before. I would definitely recommend this place. Five stars and the service is two kids who were so nice and so grateful for anything that will help and the owners we're so nice in the ambience a nice little place. I definitely would recommend. read more

Camping in the area and decided to give this place a try. Ordered up 2 large orders of bone-n wings. Buffalo and Cajun dry rub. Wings are smoked and then fried...which means they are NOT breaded and yes, they are YUMMAY! Sauce and rubs are homemade, perfect amount of seasoning and spice. Crispy on the outside, meaty and juicy. Wife and son got the Gyro's and had nothing but good things to say. They make homemade tea, lemonade and even orangeade....which we got a sample of. Really good! Got some of their homemade Greek dessert treats and coffee to finish off the night. Also really good. Atmosphere is really nice. They recently remodeled the inside (see photos) and I highly recommend it for families, or if on a date, you can eat at the cozy bar. Owners are super friendly, and I have to say their food and drink has 'character' to it....so don't think this is just a typical NE pizza joint. Don't wait...go soon! We look forward to returning to try their pizza/calzones. read more

Food is decent but way overpriced. $2.50per topping. $15 large pizza plus $10 for toppings - not worth it. Also, owners need to stop yelling at employees. A very loud environment - gave me a headache. read more

Worth the trip to little country pizza! Amazing crust and fresh toppings. We've been twice. Tried the Greek pizza. Highly recommended. Spinach is seasoned just right.

It was just ok... my husband drive over 45 mins to get there when he got home the portion size was much smaller than anticipated. I enjoyed the Italian Stallion however he felt the portion size was too small for the price. We ordered 4 of the Calzones/stuffed Pizza's. I don't think we will return. read more

Lots of love goes into this food. Pizza dough is light, calzones were amazing, lots of things from scratch (dough, eggplant parm, sauce). Worth a trip if you are not local. read more

The last two times I have ordered, the pizza was not ready close to the estimated time. The last visit, I waited 25 minutes. You would think they would have at least offered a slice of bread or something to drink. The pizza was tasty and fresh. read more

The crust is awesome they are VERY consistent .....good tasting sauce.... I like pepperoni and cheese and the homemade lemonade. I'm waiting to sit inside this place I only discovered it during corona. I prefer my pizza without too many toppings so it doesn't get too wet. Owner is usually (always? Lol) there and is interested in his business. Great pizza I haven't ventured too much outside of pizza read more

This place was a pleasant surprise. From the outside it didn't look that promising. But when me and hubby walked in, we were surprised. Looks newly renovated with an old country charm vibe. Fresh flowers on the table. As you walk in you're greeted with fresh baclava and section of cakes pre-sliced cake; carrot, tiramisu and snicker/Oreo moose and a bunch of other ones. Oh! And a nice man that attended to us right away. As we waited for our order, we enjoyed a pistachio and walnut baclava, which was flaky, sweet and filled with a good amount of nut mixture. They were both tasty but I like the pistachio one better. We ordered an Italian grinder with a side of fries and shared it. The sandwich was super fresh, big and yummy. The fries were crispy and pre-salted in a brine. This spot surprised me in multiple ways which compelled me to write a review. Just as good as any other Panera bread if not better. In the middle of no where lol read more

Drove here for the Italian stallion. Very good. Definitely if you are in the area, stop by and try it

Stopped by for a quick bite on a Friday night and got a small pepperoni and mushroom. Probably the best pizza I've had in a while. So hard to find the small pepperoni that curls up and gets nice and crispy on the edges and I normally don't eat the crust, but I did on this one! I can remember when the place first opened as a pizza joint in the early 80's and although there have been different owners, it was good then and it's good now. I may be a bit biased considering I grew up a couple of miles away at Boone Lake. Left in '83 and I'm glad the tradition has held on since. read more
