Francesco's Pizzeria - Providence

Folks who deliver through a service need to stop blaming Francesco’s for the temperature of the pizza. They are not responsible for the timing of deliveries—the app you choose makes that determination. Now, that being said, this is a real family owned Italian American corner pizza place just like you’d find in NYC or Brooklyn. Mom, son, wife, they all take part. The pizza sauce is homemade, tangy and bright like a New York slice with a thin crisp crust that has a nice crusty bread taste. YES—they have vegan cheese! YES—they have gluten free pizza. I suggest stopping in for a slice—no tables inside but there are benches on the sidewalk. Otherwise order a pizza to go and pick it up yourself, and say hi to the folks who work there. Small businesses like this are one of the last places we can really build a sense of community and support—a place like this has honest prices and good food (I have to try the homemade meatballs!) and is worthy of the community gathering around to support them!

If you haven’t tried Francesco’s yet, your missing out !!! My go- to is half bbq pulled pork and half very vegan, on gluten free crust - sounds crazy I know - but thank me later! I love that they let you customize anything you need and pay extra attention to detail, which I appreciate as somebody with food allergies… they even called me to double check to make sure it was correct and wouldn’t make me sick! Whether your looking for classic or something creative, they do both and the wings are also fire…. Highly recommend !!
