I drive from Braintree to go to Fellini's. In the summer, I drive from Kingston/Plymouth for Fellini's pizza. It is that good.
There are about 10 tables to sit down and eat, if you are inclined and they always remember who ordered what and bring it to you.
The pizza is amazing. The crust is thin and crispy, the toppings are fresh and plentiful, and the combinations are original.
I highly recommend the wickendon pizza to anyone who enjoys ricotta, garlic and mushrooms. You will never want to eat another pizza again, nothing will measure up!

As far as the pizza goes, I'd have to go with 2 stars.
They have a lot of varieties, but the crust always seems soggy and the pizza overall just unappetizing. However, there aren't a ton of places in Providence, especially on the East Side, that deliver.
A large is very large, and they have lot's of types of pizza and will make just about anything you like, I just don't happen to enjoy any of them.
They also have a lot of prepared foods and a nice little spot to go sit don and eat.
Do I enjoy it, not at all and I'd probably never get it again. But pizza appreciation differs from person to person, so maybe it'll be your thing.

Fellini's buffalo chicken pizza is heaven sent. It's the best I've had anywhere in Rhode Island. SO delicious.

Lots of fresh chicken and buffalo sauce. The crust is thin and perfectly crispy. Perfection. They also have a really tasty (and artery clogging) pizza with some sort of white sauce, onions and whole strips of bacon. Holy cow, it's amazing.

I also really enjoy their salads. Huge, freshly prepared (with SQUASH!) which I think it awesome. No one ever puts squash shavings in their salads, I love it! Their parm peppercorn dressing is also stellar. Perfectly sharp, creamy and peppery.

I've never had a bad meal here, and often times I'll even make the drive from Riverside to pick up a whole pie and bring it back home to eat. Totally worth a 30 minute roundtrip drive.

I am continuously stunned by the high ratings this place gets. Its not terrible but its not that great either. It serves perfectly sufficient pizza and relatively high prices. Their crust and dough is the best part. They aren't particularly quick and they don't seem to be consistent.

The only way I can seem to reconcile my experience with these ratings is drunk college kids who view the place as an east side establishment not on its merits.

I'd thought I'd never say this. But this place is the best pizza in the world. I would pay $50 bucks for a pizza. I'd drive from California just to devour my face in one of their pies.

What to get? Sweat heaven- fatty slices of bacon, scallions, ricotta cheese, and this parmesan peppercorn sauce. Also try the "go ask alice"-- buffalo mozz, tomatoes, parm peppercorn sauce, basil. Simply the best shit.

Baked, super thin, on whole wheat.

Rhode Island, does not only have the best golden retrievers, they have the only pizzas I want to be buried with.

Fellini Pizzeria has some of the best pizza and sandwiches on the East Side. I love that you have the option to get your sandwiches on focaccia bread (something I always opt for). The sandwiches always taste like the veggies are fresh off the plant and the pizza dough is just right. I've heard that his place is open later than the bars down on the water but haven't had a chance to check it out myself. When the weather gets warm again, you can bet I'll be making may way though Fellini's on my walk home.

The pastries are pretty good too.

So I visited Providence to see a high school friend of mine and we walked around the city.  We actually walked so much I lost all faith that he knew where this pizza place he wanted to try was. And then we turned a corner and there it was, which is good as I was starving.  

So I walked in and was greeted by a cute girl who was very nice behind the counter.  It just had a fun vibe to it.  I got two slices. One had steak and Parmesan Peppercorn and the other had basil and tomato and sausage.  They were both excellent.  

As a New Yorker, I enjoy my pizza.  I would go with the special slices and not waste my tastebuds on the cheese.  They did have a 2 slice deal with the cheese pizza and I'm sure its very good, but so many other choices.  

If you want pizza in Providence, this place is certainly worth the walk.

pizza, which is what this place is all about, is fresh, original and scrumptious! try the cheesesteak pizza, one of my all time favorites. its also very affordable and sells pizza by the slice, so that you can: 1) get your food in no time and 2) try all different kinds of pizza! awesome! service is friendly (i once broke it down with one of the guys working there and started tearing up some tunes with him!). its also open late on weekends, so i have more than once ended up there late night when i was starved in the middle of the night! awesome place, immediately one of my faves in providence!

Half decent pizza is no excuse for inconsiderate, jerky, over the top rude service & staff. No "hello can I help you?" was in sight. Worst of all, one of the staff members came outside and kicked a cat that was about 15 feet from the front door. When my friend questioned his cruelty to this innocent animal he replied, "Can't have cats in a restaurant, lady..." Well listen genius, the cat wasn't IN the restaurant.

People in customer service should enjoy making their customers happy, period. They should not act like they're doing us a favor for giving us just OK, oily pizza with soggy crust. Give me Pizzeria Regina over this stuff any day of the week.

Buyer beware -- everyone we've experienced who works here is a jerk.

Fellini's is the best pizza in Providence. We live near Federal Hill but still get our pizza from Fellini's on Wickenden St. Our favorites are the buffalo chicken - perfect buffalo sauce to blue cheese ratio - and the mozzarella, tomato, and basil - simply delicious.

Fellini's may be a bit pricey for take-out pizza, but it is well worth it. Why waste money on crappy pizza that is only kinda good? Pay the extra few dollars and get your pizza from Fellini's - you'll be glad you did.

I tried Fellini Pizzeria for the first time today. It certainly won't be my last.  The dough was amazing. A slight crunch with nice flavor and texture. The toppings were fresh and had the perfect amount. I am trying to figure out a way to get their weekly. This is the beginning of relationship I will enjoy immensely.

I've only had cheese pizza from this place, so that's all I can review, but it's delicious. I lived in Federal Hill and actually ordered out to the East Side for pizza, how sad is that??

Oh yeah, thats a plus! They actually deliver to Federal Hill!

Delicious pie.  The ratings on yelp are spot on.  Lots of variety (I tried several) and all were really good.  Lots of unexpected ingredients... scallion, butternut squash, shreaded beef... on and on.

A nice chewy thin crust and a neat little location as well.  

The staff was also really cool and kind.  They actually let me try a piece of pie after I commented that I had never tried anything like that.

Very reasonable prices as well.

I love pizza.  I kept hearing great things about this place so I admit my expectations were pretty high.  When T brought it home, the first thing I noticed was that it looked delicious.  It was huge and cheezy and the crust looked perfect.  

When I began to eat the pizza, I wasn't impressed.  I thought "Oh great another one of those Rhode Island things that I just don't understand"...BUT then I had it cold for breakfast the next morning.  Mmmm now I know what people are talking about!  Yummers!

In one word, Awesome! This is a smaller spot on the east side that from what it appears is like any other pizza joint. What it really is, is some of the best pizza I have ever tasted with great creations and cheap prices! Make sure to hit this spot! You wont be sorry!

Fellini's is the mother f'ing shizzle. Seriously, they charge way too much, sometimes their slices are soooper small, and when you order for pick up, they forget to put your order in half of the time.

So what, i still go weekly. When I got back on the East Coast from SF, Fellini's was 3 of my first six meals.

A cheese slice is like 2.50, a one topping like 3.25 and a specialty like 3.75. They make about 1,000,000 types of pie, and have a vast array of customizable choices. They are all good. May I recommend  the margarita with ricotta? I just did, beeyatch. Philly cheese steak all in your area as well. Or just stick with their strength, the classic cheese.

I was fortunate enough to live on Wickenden St one summer and I visited Fellini's frequently. They always have a variety of thin crust pizzas available to buy by the slice. The sandwiches there are also very good. It is equally good late night after the bars and during the day, which I feel is the true test to a good slice of pizza.

When I used to live in Providence a long long time ago, it was the best pizza in town. (I often went with their pesto slices.) But the dudes who worked there were often high as a kite, especially later at night.

I've lived in New York and Chicago, and yet this might be the best pizza I've ever had. I can't imagine anything I'd change about it, other than maybe making its slices bigger. I had the BBQ chicken pizza, which was amazing, and just a plain one, which was as good as it gets.

Good pizza. Don't get me wrong. One of the best vegetarian pizzas I've had in awhile. But expensive. I ordered a large veggie pizza and it came to $23.85 + tax (this was pickup by the way). Yikes! Their slices are kinda hit and miss. I've gone to Fellini for slices on three different occasions and each time the size of the slice was different. Slices are also on the expensive side unless you get simply cheese. If you love veggie pizza you WILL love their pizza here and I think you should check it out if you don't mind the cost.

Totally delicious thin-crust pizza available by the slice (although, as Lee H. pointed out, they also have takeout and delivery service). They have a number of interesting varieties, all with good, high-quality toppings. Their veggie pizza includes butternut squash, and during my last visit I had a three cheese and garlic pizza with gigantic dollops of the creamiest, richest ricotta cheese I have tasted in a long time. They also have sandwiches, a small deli section, and indoor or outdoor seating. The guys behind the counter are very nice, even when they are busy. Fellini's is undoubtedly my pick for pizza on Providence's east side.

Excellent NY-style (thin, crispy & doughy crust, large slices) pizza joint with delivery, take-out, and a small table area.  Fellini's uses a mix of wheat & white flour in their crust, which is outstanding.  Try the buffalo chicken pizza (buffalo style chicken, mozzerella cheeze, chunks of blue cheese).  They're sandwiches are surprisingly good too, but the pizza is the main event.
