Carmella's Pizzeria Middletown

I'm sorry to report that it seems they have permanently closed; their phone is disconnected. It's tough to find a substitute for their amazing pizzas.

I visited the area for a week, but the restaurant was never open during the summer. They might as well close for good, or perhaps they already have but haven't informed anyone. There are conflicting hours posted on the doors, on their website, and even in the voicemail when you call, not to mention their Facebook page. It's all very confusing. Someone might want to check on the owners; they could be lost at sea! They claim to be the best in Newport, but when you don't actually open your doors to serve food, that claim rings hollow.

I've been enjoying the incredible pizza at this place for many years! I highly recommend their white pizzas, like the Buffalo chicken, rosemary chicken, and steak bomb. They use garlic oil instead of red sauce, which makes them unique. The crust is outstanding. It's definitely worth the drive from far away since there aren't any good pizza spots around the New Bedford-Fall River area. Whenever I have the chance to visit, I'm always excited and find it difficult to decide what to order, and my excitement grows even more when I take that first bite.

This pizza was incredible! The buffalo chicken and chicken bacon ranch flavors were absolutely fantastic.

I had the worst pizza experience ever, especially as a first-time visitor. The pizza was burnt on the bottom, and I didn't notice until I got home. I'm truly disappointed!
