Pizza Cucina of Ridgewood

Ordered the fettuccine alfredo dish. I opted for the side order of lentil soup instead of salad. I rounded out my order with garlic knots. The garlic knots and lentil soup were good but my main dish was unseasoned. It really taste like boiled pasta. No salt, pepper, garlic. No flavor whatsoever. Side note: The lentil soup taste like Progresso soup with a thicker consistency.

The best food I’ve ever had … The pasta is amazing! The people are very nice I will continue to get my food from here! Thank you

Literally live at walking distance from this place. I love LOVE love LOVE there tomato sauce, It is so rich and authentic. I love pizza and they definitely make the best personal pies. The bread/​crust is yummy… I love my extra crispy and it is pretty awesome.
As for other plates my family and I have had the eggplant, among other pasta plates they have all been great as well.
Owners, Managers & Employees are super friendly.
I am so glad that I don’t have to go far for great pizza.

Two hours, no delivery. Ordered mozzarella sticks and a seltzer because fried cheese is delicious. When I called at 90 minutes, I was told the driver was «six minutes away.» Then at an hour and 50 minutes, that the driver called my number and got no answer, but he was outside. I went downstairs and saw a car come racing around the corner, stop for a minute, and then drive away. Called again in disbelief and was told the driver must have assumed my order was a prank because I didn’t answer the call. My phone never rang, so I said plainly: «that’s a lie.» I was then hung up on.

The very friendly staff greeted my friend and I warmly and explained their offerings without prompting. Our pizza (ricotta and spinach) was deliciously dense, crispy-​crusted, flavorful, and generously-​sized; great bang for the buck! And on our way out, the man behind the counter gave us each a chocolate chip cookie when they were just out of the oven – super sweet! Pizza spots like these are seldom noteworthy, but this one totally is.

I was there the night that happened with the comment from Ghost S. and he was wrong because he was drunk and was very rude and very disrespectful to the pizza place. I was a customer there sitting down with my daughter eating pizza. I don’t think that was very nice of the kid who was there yelling and screaming because he was drunk. I eat there all the time and the staff is nothing but friendly and courteous. I didn’t appreciate the disrespect he showed in front of my little girl and the pizzeria.

Don’t go unless you like being berated and then threatened in the alley for disagreeing…

Everything I’ve had here is amazing. The Pizza, the Meatball Hero, the Cannoli. Oh, the Cannoli.

First time ordering from them and it won’t be my last! Great, traditional NYC pizza! Super nice guys– I ordered over the phone and they were super polite. Extremely fast delivery, I don’t even think we waited more than 30 mins and the slices were still hot! We stayed basic and tried the regular cheese pizza and the white pizza. Both really really good and flavorful! Great crust and the pizza wasn’t overly greasy like some places. Highly recommend!

I have to come back to update my review, the manager saw my previous review and apologise for his employee’s action. He explained to me that it wasn’t how his employees should be acting and let me know that the particular employee no longer works there.(it wasn’t my intention for him to get fired) Then the manger offered me to come in the store for some pizza, I was in a hurry so I had to leave but the thought and offer is appreciated.
I am coming back to store for more garlic breads :)

I am quite a ridiculous fan of pizza, so when I found out a year ago that I officially have an intolerance to gluten I was so upset. I basically grew up on Italian food-​pasta, pizza, garlic bread. Luckily these days it’s easier to find gluten filled food alternatives, but most I’ve found in NYC are in Manhattan. Imagine my surprise when I find a place in Ridgewood with good reviews and a create your own toppings combo gluten few pizza option! I was ecstatic when my boyfriend and I found Cucina online. I immediately picked my favorite toppings (they even have a half and half option which I totally went for). One of my favorite toppings combos growing up was eggplant pepper and onions. So 1 half I ordered that and the other was broccoli and garlic. We got delivery and the pizza was still hot when it got to us about an hour after ordering online, which was the time frame given.
I was sad to discover that the eggplant was breaded, like it usually is for eggplant Parmesan. I’m unable to have bread crumbs so I couldn’t eat the pizza as is, and the broccoli garlic half of the pizza didn’t have garlic. I ate the broccoli half and also called the restaurant to inform them of what happened. The eggplant part isn’t their fault really. The entire purpose of getting a gluten free pizza usually is for people who cannot eat gluten to be able to have pizza, and there was basically gluten on my gluten free pizza. People who don’t have to deal with this day to day don’t always realize this so I was not at all faulting the restaurant. I spoke with the manager who was so apologetic and said he would have them make me an entirely new pizza with grilled eggplant (like I grew up having) for the next day (today). I called earlier today and spoke with the other manager who knew immediately about the situation and had someone deliver the *mostly
correct order I’d places and the delivery guy didn’t want to accept a tip from me and kept apologizing for the mistake yesterday. The pizza today was exactly what I wanted, and the pepper onion eggplant half tasted just like the pizza from my childhood. It was delicious. I ate half and saved the other half for later in the day. It was so good and the kindness and friendliness the staff showed on top of the amazing safe for me to eat pizza makes me definitely want to order from there again, same with my boyfriend. I highly recommend the food there.
*mostly as the second pizza again didn’t have garlic but it was a minimal thing that didn’t make a huge difference to me given how happy and impressed I was/​am

Pizza Cucina is my go-​to pizza place in the neighborhood. The food is very good. They make a great pie, good prices on the slices. I love the buffalo chicken pie. If you like a lot of toppings, try the Cucina Special — it has every pizza topping you’ve ever seen on a pie (and maybe some you haven’t). And oh yeah, it’s delicious. I also had a chicken roll that was bomb.
But not only is the food good, the guys running the place are really nice. They’ve chatted me a couple times, thrown me a free soda or two, even spotted me once when I was a buck short. I’ll definitely keep going here.

Absolutely delicious and excellent customer service. I had the a half meat amd half cheese pie and it was delicious. We also had gatlic knots and beef patty. I would definitely return.

I have faith in PIZZA now. The pie was really good and loaded with toppings. Kind of expensive but totally worth it.

Don’t ever order from them. They took one hour when I ordered penne alla vodka. Plus I don’t live far from them. The delivery guy came and took my money when I’m sure he was aware he provided the wrong order. They gave me slices of pizza. When attempting to call back no one answered. SO THEY PRACTICALLY STOLE FROM ME! I’m not only frustrated because the order was wrong I’m pregnant and hungry. Those bastards.

Excellent pizza. Great service. Warm and friendly staff. Speedy delivery. Unique specialty pizza BBQ chicken and ranch is superb. Late night specials on weekends. High def tv.

I don’t only order food from here I also go in and eat there. The place is immaculate and has a rating of an A…
The food is fresh and the staff is friendly.
When I order take out the food is always hot and the time period is as expected
I highly reccomend pizza cucina not only for pizza but also for their huge selection of Italian specialties

In from out of town and needed something fast and delivered. Found this place on Unilocal and ordered eight away without heaitation. The
large pizza was huge and delicious and the garlic knots were an excellent addition. Delivery was 45 minutes on the dot as quoted. Glad I found it!

Pizza seemed like it would’ve been delicious if the cheese was still on it. Won’t order again.

This is a totally SOLID and delicious pizza joint in Ridgewood. Probably my favorite pizza place in the area. They totally impressed me on this Mother’s Day with delivering piping hot food in a reasonable time to a destination not so close. I’m usually not a huge fan of Sicilian pizza but theirs is so freaking tasty. Yummy sauce, nice crust and a huge amount of mozzarella. They have garlic knots with sauce and mozzarella which I’ve never experienced before and they’re fantastic. Their chicken fingers are HUGE and not greasy and have a great breading on them. Not the frozen kind either. Totally fresh like everything else. All breast meat. Pleasant delivery girl. Can’t wait to be back in Ridgewood to order from them again.
