Man, I don't know, Ed. They were really good. I haven't had many other ones on the list (Sally's, Frank Pepe, Totonno's, Santarpio's), so maybe I'm not too sure about top 5 pizzas. But I would say it's up there with Sally's and Frank Pepe, and way better than the one time I had Santarpio's (which I do need to try again, but for now consider far worse than Picco or Regina). Probably below Totonno's, but not by too much. It's a tough call, and one that I am definitely willing to research further.

For reference, here are the pizzas we ate.

Just got back from Providence. We got one spinach and mushroom pizza and one half "Pizza II" and half four cheese. They were all really good. I was pretty skeptical after seeing some of the photos on their very own website, but was pleasantly surprised with the results. The cheese was all melted, they all looked really nice, and were well-made. No cold spots, nothing wrong at all. The pomodoro sauce had a little more oregano flavor than I care for, maybe, but hey. Maybe Ed just got it on a bad day? Or am I the only one here that thinks at all favorably about it?

In 1964 slices were 15¢ where I lived in Queens. That was 15¢ for regular or Sicilian. I always got regular and it had thin crust and good char even back then. Some charred bubbles too

Maybe at $6 a slice Dom will start drizzling Manni on the pizza.LOL

@PG: Enjoy seeing the Night Fly and the rest of the boys playing tonight...nice.

@RobertoRx: Dom uses the EVOO. But just like many things, there are huge quality variations within the Extra Virgin grade of olive oils available. I personally use the extra light EVOO from Bertolli to cook with, but their EVOO leaves a lot to be desired, IMO. --PB

As usual, I'm with the Pizza Maven. Any credibility that list had died with Tomato Pie in Los Angeles, a so-so pizza in a so-so pizza town.

Am I missing something? Providence? Should I even bother?

Well-played title, Adam!

@KevinB: It's a saying...I know you weren't asking seriously, but I'm not sure how else to answer that.

I worked in detroit for a while; about once a month I'd drive out to White Castle for a sack. If I ate them every day, or even every week, I'd probably be sick of them, but now that I'm back in Toronto, we can only get them on family trips to the US. And we found one in Ohio that shares space with Church's chicken which has vanished from Canada, and was our favourite fried chicken. A wing and a thigh from Church's and two cheeseburgers - great road food.

And I'm curious - to all those people who said "they taste like ass", where, exactly, did you learn what "ass" tastes like?

I agree with Ed as well as the comments so far ... if you're going to be in Rhode Island, you're much better off going to Al Forno or (my personal favorite) Caserta's. Pizza strips are also fantastic - I have many memories of childhood birthday parties where instead of ordering pizzas, the moms would bring out large white bakery boxes stuffed with fresh pizza strips. Delicious!

Who wants pizza if the damn cheese isn't melted and the toppings won't stick??

I bet all of the meat fell off that everything pie the minute they picked up a slice!!
