Cucinella’s Brick Oven Pizzeria

there is no better calzone on earth
i will definitely eat here a lot more in the future
it is off the beaten path

Staying at hotel on I-​10. It was surrounded by fast food and Denny’s. Thankful Cucinella’s got well earned reviews on Unilocal.It was worth the 8 minute drive. People inside were great and the Pizza was very good. They even directed me to a place to find a bottle of red!

Wonderful Italian food in a charming small town atmosphere.
I had a 12″ sausage and pepperoni– perfectly made pizza!
My son really enjoyed the special lasagna– we all shared it– so much flavor– delicious!
Finally, my wife had a meatball calzone and it was on par with the other items– absolutely fantastic.
The service is a mix of table and self service– takeout is encouraged.
Either way– the food quality far surpasses the desire for a waiter– and a beer or two.

On the way home from Mississippi to the Gulf Coast of Florida, we decided to spend the night at a chain hotel just off Highway 10 in Madison, FL — and found this pizzeria. Cucinella’s is the real deal! Just a plain small place, but oh the pizza! Thin crispy crust from a brick oven, nice toppings and good prices. Every pizza is made to order. We are originally from the NYC/​NJ area, where pizza is one of the four basic food groups. Our pizza ranked right up there with the best we have ever had. This is not your chain pizza joint. I wish Cucinella’s was closer to home, so we could visit more often.

Not many pizza places like this one are left. Absolutely fabulous pizza. Other reviews are right on. Well worth the short 8 minute trip from exit 258 on interstate 10. Don, t miss it!

Excellent pizza and chicken pecan salad. Quaint interior. Clean. I really enjoyed eating here and would absolutely return.

Duke, the pizza is the best. Located I’m Madison FL, you must stop if you are traveling on interstate 10. Its worth it

What a pleasant surprise to find an authentic NY style brick oven pizza in the panhandle of Florida. It is a small little restaurant, nothing fancy and not much on the menu. But, we ordered the supreme pizza (we held the olives and added jalapenos) and it was out of this world delicious! 16″ pizza was $ 19 and was well worth the price. The crust was crunchy and tasty and all the toppings were very fresh and you could taste that the ingredients were definitely top of the line quality. The cheese was delicious and just the right amount of everything and was not greasy at all. They only have a small amount of canned drinks (I think), but do not let that hold you back from trying this awesome restaurant. Very friendly and fun service. We were here on a Saturday and they closed at 2:30, so glad we made it there just before 2:00. Definitely recommend the pizza here.

Passing through on our way from Tallahassee and found this place for lunch on Unilocal.Pizza was very good and only $ 8 for a 16″ pizza and $ 1 drinks. We ordered a second pizza to go! Woman working at the time we went in was very sweet. If you want good pizza this little place is a must! Gave 4 instead of 5 stars because of décor… needs updating. Great find though.

I must tell you that we stopped in this small town and just wanted a pizza. I looked them up on Unilocal and drove over. This family owned business was so proud of there pizzas I couldn’t resist to place my order. If your ever in this small town this is the place to get your pizza. Only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars was because they didn’t put the right sauce on my pizza. Still wondering how it would tasted! This is a must go!
