We ordered a meat pizza, Italian grinder, caprese salad and Italian ice. EVERYTHING was delicious! We are always searching for new, local pizza places. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Cucinella's - Large meat pizza was delicious! - Pizza Near Me - West Columbia, South Carolina

Amazing Za!!!! The crust was so crisp and delicious and the sauce was superb and plentiful!!! Definitely the best pizza we have had since moving here three years ago. read more

The service was bad, heard the owner yelling at someone over the phone, guy seems like a jerk. The pizza was mid, had a hair in my last slice... Greasy pizza, greasy owner read more

We tried 3 specialty pizzas - Margherita was good. The best was Uncle Paulie - loved the sweet and spicy combo of ingredients. Pleasant staff. Super casual setting - paper plates and plastic flatware. Would be great for carry out - and perfect for us driving through Columbia. read more

I David Portnoy would rate it an 8.3. Best pizza I've found in Columbia since moving here.

My pizza had no flavor. Cheese and Mushrooms. I paid $26 for delivery with a 20% tip and gave the driver another $3. Little Caesars would have been better for $12. I did reach out to the company, but no response in two days. read more

Wow, what a find. On our way to Kiawah SC from Mooresville NC and everyone was hungry. As usual I suggested pizza. To yelp I went searching the best reviews and decided to try this place. Ordered a large cheese pie and WOW not disappointed. Crust was thin and cooked perfectly, sauce had just a hint of t of sweetness to it and the cheese....the cheese was stringy and perfect! I've gotta say this is probably one of the best pies I've ever gotten in South Carolina. I love pizza but only great pizza and this place was top notch! I told the owner how good it was on the way out and he was very appreciative. We even discussed what kind of cheese he uses. Will stop by again on our way home! read more

I truly love the amazing pizza here. They make their own sauce, dough, and use premium ingredients. Given that they have a dining area, I give them the nod for the BEST PIZZA IN COLUMBIA, SC 2023. They are on par with lil house of pizza, but their dining area, and consistent hours nudge Cucinella's ahead. Their hand packed cannoli's are never pre-made as well. They have amazing customer service as well, and offer a military discount read more

Family owned local pizza joint! Great staff and even better food. For the price you are paying and quantity of food, no place better in Colombia! read more

The pizza is terrible. This was the second time having it in hopes that it was an off day the first time.

Yesterday me and my mother walk into this place just looking to get some good food. We'd been here a few times before and for the most part every other experience we'd had here was pretty good the pizza was always hot and fresh and the service wasn't always the best but good enough to be passable...but not THIS time! Me and my mother order one buffalo chicken pizza, a few drinks, and some their special gelati. So everything seems like it's going smoothly, until we realize we've both been sitting there for 45 minutes just waiting on our order and in that amount of time we've seen many customers pass us on their way out the door with their to-go orders, but we have still not gotten our food! Finally, the guy who'd taken our order at the front desk about an hour ago comes over and has the audacity to asks these people (including me and my mom) wether or not they'd gotten their food. He should've known just by looking at these people's tables that there was simply no food on the tables. After 55 mins of waiting, me and my mother decided to get up and FINALLY the guy gives us the pizza literally at the last minute! So we both take the food that we'd already paid for and just walk out the door... FAMISHED AND FRUSTRATED! read more

Very good pizza. We ordered several pizzas to-go last weekend and waited in the restaurant while they were prepared. The restaurant is a nice small place. We had the meat lovers, hawaiian, and plain cheese pizza. All pizzas were great. It's nice to have a good mom and pop pizza place (not chain) in the local area. I'd recommend it to all. read more

This place has become our go-to pizza restaurant. The staff there is always nice and the food is fantastic. If you haven't eaten here, you should. read more

Service was fantastic! As the pizza snob that I am, I opted for a 12 inch half Cheese half Pepperoni over the last two singles slices on the rack. Pizza was incredible! read more

Wonderful local pizza parlor! My favorite is the Uncle Paulie's. It's a meatball pizza and it is delicious. I have it with the vegan sauce. And their sauce is delicious and perfect! read more

Hands down the BEST pizza in Columbia right now. Counter staff can be a little clueless at times but that is everywhere now. My wife loves the salad and craves the pizza more often than her diet allows. If you are here it is a must try. read more

Really good! I was passing through town and placed a to go pizza order via on line. The on line app gave me a pick up time an hour later, but I really needed to get back on the road sooner. I went in and the "kids" working there were SUPER nice. The guys making the pizzas heard me asking for faster turn around and they jumped right in it! I had my pizza in 20 minutes! And that pizza was pretty darn good! I consider myself a pizza snob, so I rarely am impressed with pizza. Most places use inferior ingredients and don't know how to properly balance the ratios of the toppings. Not the case here! My pepperoni and mushroom pizza was really good! Fresh mushrooms, just the right amount of thin pepperoni and quality cheese. Just the right amount of sauce too, which rarely happens. Cooked to perfection! And for me, what sets a pizza apart from "average pizza" is the quality of the crust. This was the best! Crispy and chewy! I can tell that they use high quality flour in their crust. The chewiness, texture and taste of the dough was spot on! I wish i could get this pizza more often! But next time I'm passing through I'll be back! Thank you for this unexpected quality!! read more

I ordered the veggie pizza to go. I loved the thin crust and the fact they cooked it long enough to stay crispy. The staff I dealt with was pleasant. read more

Traveling through South Carolina and stopped in for a quick dinner. Pizza and knots were very good! Only thing keeping me from 5 star review is the fact we didn't know if eating in we had to order at the counter or how it worked. Staff was friendly and pizza priced reasonably. We arrived at 5:30 on Saturday night and despite being a cozy place with few tables, we were able to sit and enjoy our meal! Clearly enjoyed by locals as there was a steady stream of takeout orders being picked up! Good sign when trying to find a non-chain place that is good! read more

Delicious food, great playlist, and nice service. This place has become our favorite pizza place in Cola. read more

Cucinella's - Pizza Near Me - West Columbia, South Carolina

Great pizza! Very polite and friendly staff. I'm from The Bronx, this place is legit NY Style Pizza. We drive 50 plus miles from Ridgeway to get pizza here. They are the best! read more

I ordered a 12in pie to go a couple weeks ago, It was called "The Big Mock" or something like that, but NOW..... that particular pizza isn't showing on their menu (but it IS on their listings on the "Door Dash" app. Anyway, it was one of the best I've had in a long time and loaded with toppings; " Pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, bacon, green bell peppers, red onion, black olives, mushrooms" Aside from the pie that I enjoyed no longer on their menu, (make sure to look at their items on "Door Dash" or you might miss out on something. The only other thing I can fault was that the young man working the register was desperately fumbling to make change and it was very obvious but after watching him struggle, he FINALLY came up with the right amount. In this day and age of "smart" technology, this SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE ANYWHERE! EVEN CELL PHONES HAVE CALCULATORS. Back to the positive...... the place is kind of small but VERY clean and they have a few tables if you care to dine in. I went in on a Sat night around 6pm and only a couple were eating inside and one other person in front of me who was waiting. Prior to this, it used to be a sandwich shop that never really seemed to catch on, prob because "Groucho's" is right across the street. Anyway... I hope this place does catch on and they stick around..... I'll be going back and feel they wont let me down. read more

Food is awesome, drinks are very good. Atmosphere is very cool and the service concept is very unique.

Yummy pizza with quick and kind service in a simple, clean cafe! Pizza was served piping hot and with a smile! Thanks!

So this was a take out order. I ordered the cauliflower crust pizza with pepperoni. When it got to me, it was cold which made the meal less desirable. As far as the service went, this seems like a fail. I had heard good things about this place so I'm sorry it didn't meet the expectations. read more

Was driving into Columbia with family for a little weekend trip, and we were all in the mood for some pizza. Decided to stop here and choosing this place was a good call. The staff were friendly, and the food came out quick and fresh. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Columbia. read more

Pizza was fantastic. I enjoyed eating it. Service was good, too. Prices in CA are, well, wow!

Best pizza in Columbia! We tried a lot of different places this by far is our favorite!

This is the only place I've found to offer NY pizza. I love it. If you like Chicago style with thick crust and heavy on the sauce, a sweet sauce, this isn't for you. If you prefer a savory sauce with a bendable crust, it's for you. I would give more than 5 stars if I could. read more

Amazing Food, Great Service, lovely experience. Cucinella's is a great place for a family diner.

The pizza and garlic knots were amazing, the staff was nice, pizza came out hot and overall highly recommend

Fantastic pizza, salads and cannoli. Family owned, great service, and reasonable prices. The Pig and Fig is my favorite pizza, but they're all good. read more

Very good pizza, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. It's not a fancy place, it actually is more like a NY pizzeria.

I was craving pizza at work and didn't have time to try to go pick something up. Then I started searching for pizza close to work. I used Yelp to search for pizza delivery. Cucinella's came up. They recommended ordering from an app called Slice. as far as I could tell only Cucinella's and Stoners Pizza use the Slice app. But, it really is awesome because delivery was only $3.50! And the pizza was amazing. The fully loaded one, I think it was called Bowza? was awesome. I love that the italian sausage was a nice fine crumble that lets you get some sausage with every bite. I ordered the 12 inch loaded one and a Large pepperoni pizza - new york thin crust. oh, wow what awesome huge slices of pizza. I will definitely be ordering from here again. Great pizza and affordable delivery. read more
