Albertino's Pizza

Located at 1073 Park Ave in Cranston, RI, Albertino's Pizza stands out as a beloved local gem serving up authentic Italian flavors with a Rhode Island twist. This vibrant pizza restaurant, bakery, and takeout spot is renowned for its hearty, generously topped pies and a menu that embraces classic Italian favorites with exceptional craftsmanship.

Albertino’s offers a variety of irresistible options, from mouthwatering pizzas to calzones, strombolis, and their famed pizza strips — a regional delicacy that effortlessly converts skeptics into loyal fans. The thin yet substantial crusts come adorned with a rich, savory sauce and a vibrant, melty cheese blend, all crowned by an abundance of fresh toppings like sausage, olives, mushrooms, and pepperoni. Each bite bursts with balanced flavors and a satisfying texture, whether you’re savoring a slice at home or enjoying one fresh out of the oven.

What truly makes Albertino’s special is the unmistakable generosity they put into every order. As Paul Ryan aptly puts it, “To say that they are generous with the toppings is an understatement!” Customers consistently discover that their pizzas don’t just fill the plate—they fill you with delight and value, reflected in prices that are surprisingly modest given the hearty portions.

Beyond pizza, the red and white pizza strips have earned a near-cult status locally. Andrew Malmstrom eloquently sums up this experience, recommending their red pizza strips to anyone who’s ever questioned their charm. The sauce is rich and robust, a star ingredient that lingers pleasantly after each bite, while the crust offers a delightful crunch highlighted in Bruce Provencher’s praise for the perfectly textured crust of his pizza and party strips.

The atmosphere at Albertino’s is warm and inviting, perfectly suited for takeout or a quick bite. Though primarily a takeout establishment, the genuine hospitality from the owner—who often takes time to chat with customers—adds a personal touch that elevates the dining experience beyond just great food. This is a place where one can feel connected to a community through shared culinary passion.

Whether you’re a lifelong Rhode Islander craving a taste of home or a visitor eager to indulge in authentic regional Italian fare, Albertino's Pizza promises a satisfying and memorable meal.
