“ Pizza cucina is always our go to. Great staff and good food! ”
“ We've ordered delivery from Pizza Cucina for years, but this was our first time visiting the restaurant to dine in. What a treat! The restaurant is clean, and has a "lived-in" feeling that really appeals to us. It's not like one of those snooty fancy places where you feel like you're going to break something and be looked down on, it's a welcoming place where we were treated like family and made to feel at home. The food was awesome, as always, and they were accommodating to give us a pizza with a portion mushroom-free for our youngest who doesn't enjoy mushrooms. As I previously said, we've ordered delivery from them for many years, but dining in only added to the experience! Their food is always good, but being brought to the table fresh bumped it into another category! Definitely worth the effort of visiting. We had fried mushrooms and fried ravioli as appetizers, and they were awesome as well. If you're looking for a place to take the family for a decent pizza and missing the days when the family-owned pizzeria was plentiful, this place will bring back some great memories and deliver on the quality. 10/10 - will visit again! ”
“ Sometimes loud but the service makes up for a bit of distraction. Only seems loud on poker night, but it's just more people. Service and food great! ”
“ Recently moved here from Chicago and took me a year to find a decent pizza place. This place had everything I look for in pizza! Amazing crispy crust, generous portions of ingredients, inexpensive and perfectly seasoned sauce!!! No need for me to look any further!! We ordered 3 different pizzas for a family get together and all 3 were amazing! Thank you!!! You’re officially my only pizza place!!! ”
“ The pizza is so delicious since the first time I tried it I’ve been going there often and the staff is very kind and helpful ”
“ We LOVE Pizza Cucina! Hands down the best pizza around. From the thin crust to the awesome stuffed. The hot wings are spicy the breadsticks garlicky. The chicken and rice soup is so good. We love supporting local businesses. ”
“ Every pizza i’ve had from this place has been great but their Margherita pizza is the BEST, it has never been oily, the crust has that satisfying crunch. You can rlly taste the tomatoes ! which have this nice sweet yet slightly acidic taste. soo good!! Highly reccommend the margherita ”
