A stop at a gas station once meant fueling up and maybe grabbing a quick snack. Today’s gas stations are often hiding delicious gems, making them worthy of pulling over even when we don’t need gas. If you’re a fan of piping hot pizza pie, you’re about to uncover a delightful gem – some of the best gas station pizza in East Providence, Rhode Island. So pack your bags and hit the road, it’s time to get some pizza.
You might inadvertently drive right past the Cumberland Farms on Newport Avenue, especially if you’re not in the market for gas. Then you’d miss out on what might be the most scrumptious meal of your week.
Cumberland Farms is beloved in New England for its (usually) cheap gas prices and its coffee. But there's another gem to find there as well.
Tucked in this convenience store and gas station, Ria’s Pizzeria opened in Rhode Island in late 2022. It also has locations in Adams and Norton, Massachusetts.
Don't be fooled by its humble surroundings, this is some of the most incredible pizza you'll have in Rhode Island.
