Pizza Cucina

This place is hit or miss, mostly a miss. Delivery tonight arrived in 30 minutes which is great but the pizza was cold, garlic knots were soggy and undercooked. Penne alla vodka was hot and good. Wish they’d be more consistent, we’ll be finding a new local pizza place.

Our regular pizza spot! Staff is always friendly, food always hot, and the quality i always there! Delicious food, good prices, and lovely people, what more can you ask for!

Italian hero was an absolute disappointment. Anyone who’s had an Italian hero in New York knows what it should look like. Loaded with lettuce and no meat. The chicken cease salad was 13.95 which is absurd. And the garlic knots I paid for were jammed with my italian hero and salad into a tiny pizza box. I would give zero stars if I could. Thanks but I’ll take my business elsewhere.

I came here with my friend and her nephew for lunch before taking them bowling. It was a weird experience, and I will fess up it was partly my fault.
My friend ordered mozzarella sticks and a slice of pizza, her nephew ordered Alfredo with chicken, and I asked if there was any meat in their ravioli slice (they said no) and I ordered a rice ball because I didn’t think there would be meat in the rice ball but I should have asked.
When I went to eat the rice ball and realized there was meat in it I wouldn’t eat it. They were apologetic but I did tell them it was my fault and I should have asked about meat being inside of it. They asked if I wanted something else and I told them I had the ravioli slice but than one of the staff members that wasn’t there when I ordered said that the sauce contained Italian ham. So after all that confusion I settled for and paid extra for a calzone. My friend ate some of the rice ball and ravioli slice but I took the rest of it home for my husband to eat.
The calzone was alright it wasn’t all that good but not really horrid either. My suggestion if you are going to eat here as a vegetarian do the obvious thing and make sure there will be no meat in your order.

The presence of a good Italian/​pizza place is one of the top 3 factors in deciding on a town to raise a family… at least it is for me!
Fortunately for us… and Merrick, Cucina exists. From what I understand it was one of the first new businesses to open in Merrick after Sandy. Well, they’re terrific in all regards. Excellent food, terrific service and friendly employees… the trifecta.
I can’t think if a specific item to recommend because it’s all awesome, however you definitely can’t go wrong with the Grandma slice.

I ordered a pizza for pick up. I failed to ask the size of the pizza. I thought the pick up pie was the same as the resteraunt pie. It is not. Pick up pies are 16″, the resteraunt pies are 18″ but are the same price. The pizza was ok, but I was annoyed with getting a smaller pie then i expected.

I just tried this pizza for the first time today… I hafta say i am super picky about the sauce on my pizza and this sauce was excellent. I tried the grandma and a regular slice and both were really good! Will go back again!

They charged me an extra 2 bucks for a substitution on the Meat Lover’s Pizza. It was supposed to be 29 bucks with tip, I ordered it for delivery. The pizza came luke warm and they wound up making the new total 31 and change. I’d never go here again

Did a delivery order. Took forever to get. They said 45 minutes and it took over an hour and a half. In a happy note the food was well worth the wait. DELICIOUS!!!

pretty good pizza… delivery time was very quick and delivery boy was very polite. i will be back

Outstanding pizza and friendly staff. Will stop by again when I’m in the area. My only wish is that the chicken in the Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza was grilled instead of deep-​fried.

Pizza is good but they took over an hour to deliver a very simple order. The pizza was kinda cold :/​but that’s my only complaint.

Brought my nephew for lunch, so good, had to bring other nephew 20 minutes later. He thought the same thing, best slice in town. Next day, they ordered for dinner and whole family agreed, best pizza in town!

I’ve been living in merrick for 17 years and I must say pizza Cucina is The Best Pizza I’ve tasted. The prices are reasonable not like other places that rip you off from the owners to the delivery guys they are so nice and courteous .the chicken and shrimp parm are mouth watering the buffalo chicken pizza is the bomb dot com like my daughter says.

I have worked in the area for the last 8 years and have had every pizza place in merrick. Pizza Cucina is one of if Not the best pizza in town. Their grandmas slice is awesome. Their regular slice is awesome and the rice balls are pretty good,

The food was alright not going to say the best but it was good. The owner was very nice and the servers were friendly as well. This was my first time here, but it wont be my last cant wait to try some of their other appetizing food choices.

Very good pizza («Our» delivery guy knows us well enough to continue our last conversation every time he returns), but what I really love are their sandwiches and salads. They do take a little while to get your order though, whether its delivery or pickup or you are eating in. Oh, gluten free is available, which I know is a great big deal for a lot of people! I have heard its good.

Pizza Cucina is a great addition to Merrick’s Pizza offerings.
Their chicken Marsala pizza is wonderful. It’s like eating a delicious plate of chicken Marsala with a fresh cheese and a terrific crust.
Delicious Gluten free pizza is available as well and I have had that at their sister restaurant in Westbury
Friendly staff, great pizza and fair prices. The perfect pizza recipe!
As Brooklyn born and raised on pizza, I am happy to be the first reviewer for this new business.
