Fellini's Pizzeria - Cranston, RI - Review

Fellini's in Cranston hits that sweet spot where simplicity meets skills. The sauce provides a surprising kick: spicy enough to notice but never overwhelming. You taste the parts that make up the whole clearly because they don't drown it in cheese, favoring that herbaceous red sauce and those high quality toppings instead.

They don't skimp on those toppings either. The pepperoni and olives cover the surface beautifully, adding both flavor and substance to each bite.

That crust is textbook NY-style, so thin you need the fold to eat it properly. Not crispy, more chewy with good elasticity, but the yeasty flavor and slight char around the edges makes every bite worth savoring down to the last crumb.

The first outdoor meal of the year has its own special feeling. Even with the "a little too early spring wind" occasionally whipping across the patio, there's something deeply satisfying about eating good food in fresh air after months of winter hibernation - a simple pleasure that feels earned rather than given.
