Awesome spot nestled in Cranston! Was in town for funeral, washing clothes and saw this Top Spot for Pizzeria’s in the area! Basil was a HIT! Truly authentic pizza and family atmosphere. Will definitely be back ! ...

I would have a picture of the Greek pocket I ordered, but it was too good I forgot to take a pic! Portions are always great, food is always very fresh and yummy. Love coming here to lunch with my mother and my daughter.

Probably the best cheese pizza in the state. They melt the cheese perfectly and the crust is just thick enough so the pizza is not droopy when you eat it. Being a family owned business, you can see the attention to detail. They have some excellent Greek food choices as well!

The best pizza in the state! The owners are super friendly always have a smile on. Would highly recommend going here or getting takeout. I have never had a bad meal from here.

We absolutely love BASILs! The absolute Cheesiest pizza in RI! We will be back soon!

Not from the area and google said they were top pizza....google didn’t lie here!! Best pizza we have had in a very long time!! While waiting for pizza, we ordered onion rings...those were amazing!!! Next time we’re in RI, I’m coming back!!!!

We were looking for a place to stop and grab a light lunch in the midst of running errands. Googled for a near by place and ended up here. So Happy we did. The Grilled Chicken Ceasar had fresh ingredients and nicely seasoned chicken. Dressing was Great. Onion rings were fried just right. Bacon and Feta Pizza was Delicious. Great Crust and generous portions of toppings. Sauce was Scrumptious. Place was very clean and service was good. We will be back. Can't believe we over looked this place in the past. Definitely worth the stop.
