A-1 Pizza is Aquidneck Island's oldest family pizza place and is celebrating over 40 years in business. The restaurant's founders Tony and Voula came to Newport in 1976 with their three children and decided to open up a pizza place where they introduced Greek style pan pizza and the popular Greek sandwich "The Gyro." A-1 Pizza continues to use the same family recipes you love.
A-1 pizza has won numerous awards including the "Best Pizza" from Newport life magazine and the Newport Mercury. A-1 Pizza has also been voted best Greek style pizza By Rhode Island Monthly Magazine, Best cheese pizza Newport winter festival, and just recently received an award for customer satisfaction. Now going into their third generation, A-1 and it's dedicated staff provide great specialties and warm friendly service to all their valued customers. Dedication, participation in community affairs and creative ideas are some of the reasons why locals keep coming back and visitors to Newport make it a regular stop.
With Dough made fresh daily, they still believe that the best pizza comes from using the finest fresh ingredients including quality meats and 100% cheddar cheese that is freshly grated on-site.
A-1 continues to use the family recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation, from pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, to their famous Tzatziki sauce which is used on their famous Gyro sandwich and certain specialty pizzas that they have created. It has become a popular item that A-1 always has on hand for family dinners, parties, or as a dip for snacking with pita chips or crackers.
A-1 created gourmet style pizzas such as the Portuguese, Grecian Delight, Loaded Potato pizza and the award-winning Chicken Florentine and many more.
Their original and most famous creation is the A-1 Special that includes 13 scrumptious toppings and almost a pound of freshly grated cheddar cheese, now that's a wicked good pizza.
The menu features a variety of fresh chicken wings and other appetizers; the newest of which are the Greek sampler, deep-fried loaded potato bites, Spanakopita and the Boom Boom shrimp. They also serve calzones, grinders, and a variety of fries and much more.
Pasta dinners are just as plentiful with meat sauce made on-site with a variety of herbs.
A-1's complete dinner menu also includes a variety of Greek specialties and seafood.
Don't forget to end your night with the sweet taste of baklava, creamy cheesecake bites and fried dough balls sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon and more.
