I like the thick crust, and the pepperoni. Providence has so many good pizza shops, I feel like there's a pizza for every mood. Caserta's for a thick crust & pepperoni with a hint of spice. Minerva's in Wayland is a bad day special, when I need extra cheese as I'm grabbing a pizza on my way home. Sicilia's for a deep dish that's meant for sharing with friends. Big Cheese (technically Cranston I know) is for the classic circle cut into squares with extra cheese that screams family meal night with the extended family, you get like 4 or 5 diff5types of pizza and the smaller slices mean you get a little of each one.

You've definitely hit the moved out of state missing good pizza thing on the head. I've got family in bumfuck nowhere FL where all they have is a domino's and pizza hut the next town over. I frequently buy pizzas and wimpy skimpies the night before I fly and freeze them, then pack in my carry-on because they're so missed.
