I want to like this place (appears clean, service is good) but holy smokes they skimp on the meat! I've been there several times, hot subs, cold subs, wraps, even tried extra meat, everything I tried was skimpy. Even the subs I ordered with extra would be considered light on the meat at any other place. They do give pickle slice and port small serving of excellent chips with subs and wraps. read more

Ordered a large sausage pizza ($18.50 is not bad) but it just wasn't anything to write home about. The sausage was delicious but that's about it. The sauce was a bit tangy and the pizza felt a tad bit overcooked. If you're drunk coming from the club or bar this will do the job. Other than that it's no De Fazio's (Troy) and it's certainly not Pope's pizza in (Saratoga). read more

Cugino's Pizzeria - Pepperoni and Cheese slices - Pizza Near Me - Rensselaer, New York

I've been in Albany my whole life and if anyone knows the pjs pizza on Ontario they would know that this place was supposed to be a replica, maybe years ago but my food today isn't even edible, I ordered the pizza combo wings, pizza and a drink, the pizza shouldn't have the cheese coming off of it while I can literally pull the cheese off each slice, its very overcooked on the dough and the you would think its a oil rig with how much oil is on this damn pizza, the wings are just brutal overcooked and taste like they haven't changed the oil in weeks, I will never order from this restaurant again even if it's the last place on the strip, I never write reviews but I couldn't let this go unnoticed, please advise you do not get food from here, you'll have better luck at lil ceasers read more

Really good pizza and excellent service, from the person who took my order on the phone to the chefs at work who made the pizza to the delivery driver guy, great experience as a customer! Remember people keep it simple 1-2 toppings max for a pizza delivery, we had super fast delivery the day after Christmas and it was hot and great to eat ! read more

Cugino's Pizzeria - AmaZing Chicken Alfredo with Chicken Parmesan - Pizza Near Me - Rensselaer, New York

This is my first experience with Cugino's trying to support local businesses by getting a order to go. It was a busy Friday night with lines out the door but only 5 min behind schedule. We ordered Ahead due to CV-19 situation. The small antipasto was huge and quite vinegary-marinated veggies- the meat was rolled in pinwheels which I love and served with a basic Italian. We ordered crispy medium wings which had a nice flavor and were crispy but it was closer to a mild- for the wing aficionados the blue cheese was good but was only served with celery. The pizza- whit garlic broccoli with ricotta was lovely-the crust was thin crispy and buttery I usually discard my crust but really enjoyed this one! I will be a return customer for sure! Next time I will check out their red sauce pizza- read more

See all

If you want room temperature pizza, that's greasy and soggy, definitely grab a slice here. Enjoy your food haphazardly slapped into a bag (not a small cardboard box like every other sane place) as it comes straight out of their warm box without ever hitting the oven again, which is insane by any pizza places standards ever. Garbage food that was surprisingly more expensive than most places for 2 slices and a can of Coke. Next time I'll walk 8 more feet to the next place. Just awful. read more

Very good. Very quick delivery. Very highly recommended. (It wants me to keep writing, but I have nothing else to say so I'm going to ramble until it lets me post what I wanted to post. I don't have to review the mouthfeel of the pizza or the nuances of the decor, which I haven't even seen). Thanks for gatekeeping reviews Yelp. You've earned yourself a bad review on the App Store.) read more

So if you are an Albany PJ's Pizza fan, which was sold a few years back, rumor has it that Cugino's is a PJ's spin off or clone or something. I had to try it, having grown up a staunch PJ's fan. My favorite PJ's pizza is cheese so that's what I got. I have to say it was PJ's only from Cugino's! I think they may be related. Delicious! read more

Spot on pizza with a good base, tasty toppings and chicken wings by the dozen, no really, one of the few places left that does a dozen wings. The wings were fried well and a nice and spicy hot wing sauce. Definitely worth checking out for pick-up or delivery. As someone had already mentioned, if you liked PJ's pizza, then get yourself to Cugino's. read more

I went here for the first time and gotna chicken parm sub. The taste was great but it was very small. I posted about it being so small after seeing my review the owner thought maybe they mistakingly gave me a small sub. Justbwent back today for the chicken parm. It must have been an honest mistake and i am sure glad i gave them a second chance. This is how you run business folks. And gald i wasnt like alot who just jump on a local business without giving them a chance to find out what happened. KUDOS To your pizzeria and i will be back. read more

Best pizza in The tri-city area. I've NEVER had a bad pizza or meal from here. They are quick and efficient. The staff is always friendly and personable. No matter what time of day the food is impeccable. I don't by pizza anywhere else. This is a hidden Jen in the city of Rensselaer. The owners are always cooking your pizza. They are always there making sure everything made is perfect. This should have a one- bite with prez !!! It's that delicious! read more

I recently ordered from Cugino's. I ordered a personal pepperoni pizza and fried pickles for delivery. The food was delicious. The pizza was very good. The pizza had excellent flavor and had plenty of toppings. The crust was semi thick and was crunchy. The fried pickles were great. They were heavily breaded and crispy. The pickles were fresh and the flavor was excellent. The problem was I was told it would take less than an hour for the food, but I waited almost an hour and a half. The delivery driver was nice, but the wait was ridiculous. Overall, the food was delicious, but the wait was insane. read more

When it comes to Cugino's Pizza there is no local pizza that is as good. Their specials are amazing. Their wings are delicious as well. Everything is fresh which is great! The prices are very reasonable! Everyone that works there is very friendly! read more

After a long day driving, we wanted dine-in pizza. Pizza like/dislike depends on personal preference. This one meant our likes with its crispy crust; an appropriate amount of toppings & cheese so each bite was a nice balance of crust, topping & cheese. Service was excellent!! read more

Very quick and decent size portions. Overall the sauce was a little too acidic for my liking. Would order again though if my go-to spot was closed. read more

I moved to the area last year, and Cuginos was recommend to me. Had their pizza a few times it was unique. Their sauce and slice style is different from other local establishments. About a month ago I ordered pizza and the first thing I've noticed was that it had a chemical, fishy, or musty odor to it, and taste as well, couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. Had a few slices and threw it in the trash. Didn't bother calling to complain. Preparing and selling the pizza within itself should of been a red flag not to hand it out to a customer. The odor was pungent! I don't know if they're using a pizza stone, or haven't cleaned their dough processes, or even if their fridge is moldy. Haven't been back since, even when there is a special on retail-me-not for $10 for $25 worth of food, not worth it. First time you make a mistake on a product you sell to a customer to consume, and it has a noticeable odor, is the last time I'll go back. read more

Ordered special got standard pricing when we went to pick up . Received an argument from the girl ringing us up at the counter when asked about pricing , rude . We called back explained and got hung up on . Horrible customer service . All over a two liter of soda . Next time we will order from Keith at sliders . read more

Ordered 2 bacon cheeseburgers...although it looked delicious & was loaded with bacon, the bacon wasn't cooked...the burger itself had an odd smell and taste - both ended up in the garbage. The fries were good, so there's that. Will I ever go there again? Absolutely NOT !!! read more

I stopped by this evening to order dinner and the woman at the register was so rude that I walked out. I will never step foot inside this establishment again. I've actually ordered from this restaurant a few times before. In the past, the staff seemed nice and the pizza was decent. They were rather busy tonight but it was no excuse for being rude. read more

the cal zones are soooooo good and the buffalo chicken salad is really good too

Hands down the worst pizza I have ever eaten. The crust was under cooked and chewy, the sauce tasted like they added sugar to it and the cheese seemed artificial. DON'T WAIST YOU MONEY EATING HERE read more

We ordered a few slices to try it out. Fresh Quality ingredients on a crust that was just the right thickness (thin but not so thin that it was swallowed up by the toppings. We will be back to try some other items on the menu and to buy a pie! read more
