How do I find great shopping in Providence R.I?

What is the best pizza in RI? In Providence? In East Providence?

• I've read the onlne reviews from the media. So far, I have found that we keep going back to Empire Pizza in the plaza with Chipotle, right by the airport, in Warwick to be the best. We've only been here since the fall, mind you. There is some good pizza at that well known place by the rumford bowling alley up in Rumford, east prov. That could possibly be the best in East PRov. But I want to know personal preferences from those who have tried more than a few places. that have gone out of their way to find the best pizza. Selling it by the slice would make it even better. Empre sells by the slice.

  http://www.alforno.com/ probably has received the most accolades, with their pizza being named one of the best in the United States by Food and Wine Magazine (http://www.mobile.golocalprov.com/lifestyle/al-forno-named-best-spot-for-pizza-in-u.s/). They are located on South Main Street in Providence and specialize in thin Neapolitan pizza. Though crafted to perfection, Al Forno is quite pricey. Thus, as I mentioned in another answer: , I frequented Fellini's and Antonio's much more. http://www.fellinipizzeria.com/ on Wickenden Street in Providence has a pizza they call the Kitchen Sink [Penne pasta, garlic, Parmesan, peppercorn, roasted red peppers, scallions, pepperoni & feta cheese]. It is really, really tasty and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. Another Providence staple, http://www.antoniospizza.com/ on Thayer Street next to Brown, also churns out some great creations with atypical pizza toppings: Black Bean Avocado Quesadilla [Black bean, avocado, pico de gall with cilantro, tortilla chips, sour cream and cheddar] Pesto Tortellini [Cheese filled tortellini with a Pesto Sauce topped with mozzarella]   Lastly, if you are interested in Chicago-style stuffed pizza, http://www.siciliaonline.comon Atwells Avenue (Federal Hill) is great especially for the value.
