Cugini Pizzeria & Ristorante in New York

"Stopped in working in the area and my partner and I loved the pizza. Service was great and a nice cozy atmosphere. If I'm around again, definitely having another meal here"

"Went to this neighborhood Italian pizzeria restaurant in a Sunday afternoon. We ordered the special appetizer and chicken Parmigiano and pasta entree..we got full with appetizers took all the other food to go. Dessert was delicious"

"The food was delicious. The upside down sicilian was so delicious. The calamari and the arriabiata sauce was great. Chicken verdi was delicious and the shrimp parmigiana excellent. Great portion size. First time there. We went a second time and the food was still delicious. For us they have the best Calamari Arriabata. The pizza"

"Great pizza, tastes just like the Mineola location. Love the deep dish pan style buffalo slice from this place. Friendly staff and amazing service too!"

"Plain slice of pizza is one of the best in Queens. Thick gooey, stretchy cheese. It’s like the mozzarella cheese from a stick on bread. Sauce is tasty. I don’t like plain slices, but I like this one. BIG TIP: The desserts here are EXCELLENT. Can’t beat the $2 chocolate chip cookies. The thick brownie is rich. As for the HOMEMADE TIRAMISU…. The “chef” - regular pizza dude in the back - will literally make it for you right in front of your eyes if you’re lucky. He’ll lay the base, line the lady fingers, fluff the cream and dust the coffee live and in person. Can’t argue about the freshness of this dessert. As for the taste: it’s not that sweet and the texture is a win. If you don’t like this tiramisu, you don’t like tiramisu. Shout out to the “Tiramisu Guy” at Cugini’s. Then there’s the gelato which I haven’t tasted yet and the donut which is a weapon of mass destruction on your six pack."

"I had to leave a review because this pizza spot is truly something special. From the moment I walked in, the smell alone told me I was in the right place. I ordered the garlic knots and a hot honey slice, and let me tell you — both were out of this world. The garlic knots came out warm, soft, perfectly seasoned, and brushed with the right amount of garlicky butter. They weren’t dry or overly greasy… just melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I could honestly eat a whole tray by myself. But the hot honey slice? A whole different level. The crust was crispy on the bottom, chewy in the middle, and had that perfect brick-oven taste. The cheese was fresh and stretchy, and the drizzle of hot honey brought the perfect balance of sweet heat without overpowering the slice. Every single bite was like a flavor explosion. You can tell they take pride in their ingredients and how they prepare their food. Everything tasted super fresh, and the quality was consistent from the knots to the slice. This is officially my new go-to pizza spot. If you’re thinking about trying them, don’t walk — run. You will not be disappointed!"

"This is a hidden gem....in Oakland Gardens. Great music and atmosphere .... Phil Collins, Elton John, 70s and 80s ballads....not too loud. Food: Absolutely best cheese slices - thin slices (my preference) soft crust, perfect amount of sauce and cheese...Even better than Park Pizza of Howard Beach, Lucia Pizza Flushing, and VIP Pizza Bayside. Super nice service. I saw other tables having salads and pastas that look so fresh. All I saw was happy customers and friendly service. A blessing....thanks for a great meal and experience."

"Had an awesome experience at this pizza shop. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming — they even surprised me with a free slice. The seating area is comfortable and has a really good vibe. The pizza was fresh, tasty, and affordable. Definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone in the area."
