If you like fake cheese then I guess so.

Idk if that is true many of them also sell pizza strips with cheese and other toppings from the counter.

Nah we like them. The joke is people who buy the ones at the supermarket. Never buy from the supermarket, buy them from an actual bakery. The supermarket ones is like eating a mama celeste or other frozen pizza and then saying you don't like pizza because it sucked.

Go to LaSalle bakery and order one. If you still don't get it, then hold your hand about 10 inches in front of your face, ball up your fingers real tight, and punch your really hard.

It was a way for bakeries to get around health codes. Taking off the diary allowed bakeries to serve the pizza right from the counter, making it a quick and easy lunch. Plus it’s delicious!

Thanks! I once added tomato to a sandwich at Rogue Island and they forgot to tell me it was $1 extra when I paid for it on the phone. Then they wanted me to pay $1 cash when I got there….like…really?

It's really sauce bread that's only good on the day it's made. Made much better with a fash of garlic powder. Don't downvote me. I'm a life long roe dylinder and have never been to block island.

As a non-RI native, I think it's an inside joke between Rhode Islanders where they've punked us all into thinking they actually like these and have a group chat where they just laugh at us.

To counter the OP’s incessant fear-mongering:
https://www.wpri.com/news/local-news/providence/providence-shootings-dropped-by-nearly-half-in-2022/
TLDR:
The violent crime rate has been dropping for decades in this city. There was a spike during COVID, that is true for every single city in America, but now things are regressing to the mean. Providence is a wonderful city and I have never felt particularly unsafe, but it is still a city. Use your brains and you’ll be fine.
And don’t let alarmists like u/Previous_Floor and his propaganda fool you into pearl clutching.

Nothing that I know of in RI. REI in Cranston has their section of returned items for sale.
If you're ever up north, definitely stop into IME in North Conway - they have a big consignment section in the basement. Ragged Mountain Equipment, just up the road in Intervale, also has consigment stuff in their basement.

Reply to Commute from Boston by chocosunn
An Amtrak monthly pass from South Station/Back Bay to Providence actually costs less than an equivalent MBTA pass and the train takes 25 minutes less because it only stops at 128 before Providence. It's also way more comfortable than the commuter rail. The schedule isn't as robust, but if it works for your schedule it's definitely the best option.

Recreational pot is legal here in RI now, so you don't need to head to MA. Stuff is probably just revving up here now..

I don’t understand why people hate these posts. I get they can be low effort, but I don’t read the news often and it’s nice to scroll through Reddit and see the good mixed with the bad. This happened right downtown.

I like it for what it is, decent cheap frozen pizza I can pop in the oven after I've had a few beers. I'm comparing it to totino's and digiorno, not fellini and sicilia's.
