The founders Tony and Voula came to Newport, Rhode Island in 1976 with their three children and decided to open up a pizza place. They introduced Greek style pan pizza and the popular Greek sandwich "The Gyro". A-1 has won numerous awards, including the "Best Pizza" from Newport Life magazine and the Newport Mercury. A-1 has also been voted Best Greek Style Pizza by Rhode Island Monthly Magazine and just recently received an award for customer satisfaction. Now going into their third generation A-1 and its dedicated staff provides 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. A-1 continues to use the family recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. One of the recipes being the tzatziki sauce which is used on their famous gyro sandwich and also being used on certain pizzas that they have created. It has become a popular item that we always have on hand for sale for your family dinners or as a dipping snack. A-1 creates gourmet style pizzas, such as, the Portuguese, Grecian Delight, and the award winning Chicken Florentine and many more. The original creation is their famous A-1 special that includes 13 scrumptious toppings and almost a pound of cheddar cheese; now that's a wicked good pizza. The menu features a variety of fresh chicken wings, appetizers, the newest addition the Greek Sampler as well as calzones, grinders, pizza fries, and much more.
