“ If I could give this establishment 6 stars, I'd give them 7!! The food is absolutely amazing and so is the service! Possibly the best pizza's around, and their other selections, like the Stuffed Greek Popeye to name one, are something special as well! ”
“ Old school Italian Greek place nostalgic been doing it well for decades.... The meatballs are a must..! Everything was great. Nice, casual service.. Beware of the packing lot.. it got jammed up, and I found myself talking Italian.. Big portion delicious sauce. Great service, decent prices. It's worth trying for yourself. ”
“ It has been years, 40 to be exact, since I have visited The Big Cheese. And pleased to report that it has hardly changed! I used to have lunch with the office staff from a printing company in Providence. It is actually more delicious and very reasonably priced! The bartender was friendly and attentive. I have to come here more often! Plenty of parking in the rear of the building. ”
“ Great place for food! It’s a bit outdated but that’s what’s actually cool about this place, food is amazing!!! Pizza is very very good! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to dine in or out, just a heads up parking is a bit tough here. ”
“ Love their pizza here I usually just get the Italian style cheese whatever size . You don't even need toppings because this pizza is just great anyway. The other style with the cheddar is also really good, definitely unusual for a pizza place to use cheddar especially for as long as they have but you will love it. We also order the Popeye Everytime check that out for sure if you like spinach and Greek salad ”
“ Stop #14 on RI FOOD FIGHTS 10th Annual #BestSandwichRI in Cranston...Toasted Italian...a classic! Forgot to take pic before I started eating...oops! ”
“ I've been going to The Big Cheese since I was very little, 30ish years ago. My family moved 45 minutes away when I was only 5 but any time we are nearby we HAVE to go. I've got my husband hooked too. I LOVE The Big Cheese!!! The atmosphere inside hasn't changed much since I was a kid but I love that. It's nostalgic. Note: You can eat sit down style with a waiter in the back of the restaurant, or you can do takeout/seat yourself in the front. ”
“ We haven't been here in years, and we were close by so we decided to try it out. We were seated right away and the waitress took our order. We ordered the Mozzarella bread for an appetizer. These were so yummy, I recommend them to anyone who loves cheese. Then we got a Onion, Pepper and Pepperoni pizza. It was just as good as I remembered. I highly recommend The Big Cheese, I wish I never forgot about this place. We are going to add this place in to our regular pizza night outings. ”
