Take 10: Pies worth every mile

Caserta Pizzeria, Providence
On Federal Hill, Caserta has been serving Providence’s preferred pies for over 50 years. Judging from the line that snakes around the tables, they should hit the century mark in stride. The crust is so good at Caserta, a chewy mix of dough and tomato sauce, that cheese is optional. Give the plain pie a chance, heaped with mushrooms and onions. Caserta is so cherished that you’ll find many people in line asking for them not to cut the pie so that they can freeze it. Also sample the ‘‘Pig in the Blanket,’’ sausage doused in tomato sauce and rolled in dough that would be a huge hit at Fenway Park. 121 Spruce St., www.casertapizzeria.com
