Nucci's is a wonderful spot for a quick slice or an entire pie. I must admit that I have only eaten the cheese pizza from Nucci's because it's so delicious! I do t know what they put in their cheese blend, but it gets me every time. Their crust is thin with just the right amount of crisp! The staff at Nucci's are always polite and the service is fast. The restaurant shows that it supports local organizations by the various plaques displayed. The settings is casual and easygoing. Nucci's is my go-to for a solid slice of if I want something easy, quick and comforting! read more

When in Rome... Get pizza! When in SLO... Also, Get Pizza!!! That right people... Pizza is a Universal Love Language and no matter if you are in the Motherland itself (Italy) or you are kickin' it in beautiful San Luis Obispo... Pizza is always a Win-Win situation! During a recent visit to SLO, someone in our group recommended Nucci's Pizza... Say. No. More. Without a hitch, we all piled into our cars and made our way towards downtown San Luis Obispo. Our group of about 10 decided to go family style and just order a few pizzas, lasagna's & individual salads for the table and it worked out perfectly. The pizza was excellent (see for yourself, pics below) and it was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of training. The Poppyseed Salad was delicious and was big enough to share, although I didn't. Haha. Our sever was really cool, relaxed and extremely patient with our slightly obnoxious group. We even celebrated someone's birthday and shared a Panucci (fresh chocolate chip cookie with ice cream & chocolate syrup)... It was pretty hilarious watching 10 grown men all sharing one dessert; thankfully we each had our own spoons. Lol. So the next time you are in SLO and you are feeling a little hungry... Come see the Love Language spoken at Nucci's Pizza and see if you too fall in love! read more

A nice surprise to finally find this Italian restaurant. First impression was the menu had a lovely variety of dishes. Italian food is something that is dominated by a few restaurants in San Luis Obispo. We ordered pasta and signature mini pizza, along with garlic bread. Service was table side for dinner which was great. The food arrived promptly and wow was it amazing. The meatballs had a nice flavor, marinara sauce was sweet, and the mini pizza tasted great. The meal was more than what we expected! My only snark is the dining area. Nucci's is wonderful for to go food/take out. The dining area felt like a bachelor pad hangout. The pro to having a sparsely appropriate dining area meant the prices were extremely affordable. Overall grade: Food A+/Dining Area D read more

I LOVE NUCCIS!! Go To italian comfort food for decent prices!! Never long lines!! Food- Great food! I recommend the pasta with meat sauce or the meatball sandwich!!! Soooo flavorful and yummy! The pasta comes with a very generous amount! Lasted two meals for me Ambiance - Very chill average italian shop has tvs and enough seating, Very clean! Service- You order at the front register and they have always been nice and accommodating! read more

I do not understand why Nucci's only gets 3.9 stars, I mean that's ridiculous. The pizza is absolutely perfect! The foothill special is my personal fav. The service is nothing special but let me tell you, they are doing it right. It much bigger inside than you would expect, and lots of seating. I don't understand why it only gets three stars, I've been here 8 times and I have never had any issue here! The service not depressing it's just that they are really locked in. I would love to see all of those available seats inside filled up at some point. read more

The pizza and salad were excellent! I specified a thin crust and it was perfect. The pizza was ready for pickup when promised.

This restaurant is in a strip mall with plenty of parking. I came for lunch on a Monday. I opted for a slice of cheese pizza with a Caesar salad. The price was ten dollars and some change which I thought was a great deal. There is a seating area and two tvs. If ambiance is your priority, you may be disappointed. I found the restaurant clean and well lit. My food came out in a reasonable time and I was happy with both dishes. The salad was fresh and the pizza had a good flavor. read more

Anna gave door dash the wrong pizza Nicki's nor door dash will bring me the shrimp pesto pizza I ordered They sent me a margarita instead this is why businesses go out of business in San Luis Obispo because you don't honor your product and no one wants to take responsibility Nouchies blames DoorDash and DoorDash blames Nu cheese. What a racket. read more

I pick up pizza here a few times a month and it's always solid and the prices are good.

Great staff, very good food, always perfect. I personally love their Mac 'n Cheese - So yummy!

We're Italian and hard to please. These pizza was unique and awesome! I ordered ahead and they had the pies ready at the time I wanted to pick 'em, rather than sitting there for 30 minutes. Well done team! read more

Consistently good. We love the pizzas and salads which come with bread sticks, fresh baked and oh boy are they good. The Pizza is about the best in the county. We have been to so many pizza places. Nucci's has everyone beat by a mile. Whether you live here or are stopping on a trip, don't miss them. Our fav is the pepperoni but all the pizzas are great. A large will last us for 3 meals when we take the rest home. read more

It was good nut a few items on the menu had changed since our last visit and we weren't sure that we were as pleased with the taste as before but All and all it was good eating and after all it was take out so the food had to be reheated so there was that read more

This is a hidden gem! Had a raspberry salad. Husband had an antipasto salad and we shared a 2 topping pizza. So tasty!! Great prices and the staff are super nice. We will definitely be coming back when in this area!! read more

I'll start with the positive--good service from a friendly and dependable staff. Very welcoming. And the prices are reasonable. No complaints there. Unfortunately that leaves the food and there's no way to sugarcoat this: The pizza we were served tonight was the ABSOLUTE WORST pizza I have ever eaten anywhere. Terrible. Couldn't finish it. To be polite, I asked for a box, but then dumped it in a trash can. I wouldnt' give this pizza to my dog. The pizza was completely dry and void of taste. We had gone there with friends two months ago and also noticed that the pizza wasn't that great then. Tonight seals the deal. I might be tempted to go back for salad, if I were really desperate. But no more pizza from Nucci's. Never! It should have been a clue that on a Saturday night, pizza place within a mile of a college campus is basically empty. Why does that tell you? read more

If you're looking for the ultimate comfort pizza, nuccis is your place. I'm a regular for their dinner special. Best deal in town. Staff is so friendly and pizza is spot on every time. Can't go wrong coming here! read more

Had a door dash order and it was missing half the order. Called them and they confirmed they missed part of the order. The managers were rude and had no solution for the issue... basically just blamed it on door dash and said it wasn't their problem. Terrible service. read more

Pizza is just fine, nothing too special. Good if you're close by, but don't travel for it.

Came in here for lunch today. I must say this place is run totally different than the other one across town. So much better. Been in her a few times already. Food is pretty consistent and the portions are awesome. Service is pretty good. Caesar salad could've used a little more dressing, but it was fine. The only reason why I gave them a four-star was because sometimes when I walk in it's full service, and other times you order at the cash register and then they bring it out. We had the spaghetti with meatballs, and my buddies ordered pizza. Very generous on the toppings, I'll definitely come back. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. read more

Today I ordered the lunch special to go. As I was picking up my lunch, I asked for extra salad dressing. I was told they charge extra. I was there a few weeks ago and wasn't charged. I'm a little suspicious that this is a way for the staff to pick up some extra money. This employees are very low energy and seem unhappy to be working there. When I eat there the pizza is hardly warm. Today the raspberry apple salad was lettuce with a few apple. Today my order was to go and the pizza slice was cold by the time I got home. Disappointing all around experience. I won't be back Plenty of other choices in this town. read more

Note: Some of my experience may have been due to Covid staffing and supply shortages. Our office ordered to-go. A portion of our order was missing upon pick up. I ordered the Thai pizza. It didn't have the peanut sauce or peanuts. It lacked flavor to the point that I threw it out. My coworkers ordered a mushroom pizza and they loved it. I probably won't return but maybe after the pandemic, it will be a better experience. read more

This is one of my coworkers fav places so we go there quite often. There is fast service so we have no issue getting in and out within a lunch hour. The odd thing that takes their stars down is that most of their hot food doesnt come out hot... it comes out lukewarm... always. The food is decent but nothing special... honestly I don't see why this place is my co workers favorite place. I could take it or leave it read more

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. If you're looking for chuckie cheese/middle school cafeteria pizza, you've found it. We got two cheese slices, all you could taste was grease. Chicken parm is a crime against humanity, it felt like the lifeless skins of mozzarella sticks scrapped off with a vat of ketchup as marinara sauce. Only upside was the $4 beer. Yikes. read more

I tried Nucci's for the first time yesterday, the personal pizza that I ordered was just right in size, the crust was amazing it definitely complemented the sauce,cheese,Italian sausage,tomatoes and ricotta topping. The pizza was so good that I actually called the restaurant to thank them! Definitely recommend Nucci's. read more

Pizza was pretty average. It's fairly expensive for what it is. Was expecting a New York slice with the thin crust based on the photos. But it was very cheesy and not crispy, just kind of soggy. The regular crust was a little more substantial with all the toppings. It was good but not great read more

My son talked me into trying this place. He wasn't wrong. The pizza is good and the staff is friendly. We like the pizza they make at the Foothill location better than the Marsh one. We always get fresh basil, tomatoes and pineapple. They hold the cheese if you are a vegan too. Yay. read more

Ordered dinner to go for 5 and it was on time, completed correctly, and tasted good. We enjoyed the bruschetta and meatball appetizers, lasagna, and Mac and cheese. A chicken Caesar salad and a garden salad finished it off. Plenty of food for 5 people. We will be back. read more

The raspberry salad was delicious as usual. My friends had salads as well. I usually get the macaroni and cheese which is so good with the bread crumbs under the broiler. read more

Pizza has been my favorite food most of my life, and I make it a personal goal to find the best pizza in town. Nucci's is that place for me. The crust is always perfect, and the toppings are generously applied. The restaurant itself isn't much for ambiance, but the consistently delicious pizzas continue to bring me back. read more

Went here for dinner last night and we were both happy we did! My girlfriend and I were both craving pizza and we picked this one based off of their ratings and affordable prices. We decided to start dinner off with there garlic bread and a side of marinara sauce. Wow! I definitely recommend you giving those a try because they were amazing! Then we went with two mini size pizza's one with sausage and pepperoni and the other with sausage and ricotta cheese and of course a ton of ranch. They came out fast and hot. Both were very delicious with a ton of toppings and flavor. We were both very happy with the friendly service and cleanliness of the restaurant and are both looking forward to coming back again when we are back in town. Keep up the great work guys! Thanks for an Awesome dining experience! read more

Wow wow wow!! I ordered on UberEats today and what I received was perfect! Delicious! Hot! Very speedy delivery! I will be ordering from here more often as it was easily one of the best delivery pizzas I've had. The cheese. The crust. The toppings. Everything was absolutely great, fresh and tasty! Please compliment the staff for a job well done!! Thank you!!!!! read more

Dropped by today Saturday at 6pm. Not one person was in there. Nice clean location, decent parking, attractive building and architecture. New, modern installation and decor. Very nice menu boards on the wall, nice lighting, ambiance and treatments. One big screen for the dining area showing sports. Front staff were Cal Poly girls non-stop talking about their school stuff. Order placement was fine. Back staff all Mexican listening to their music. I ordered the shrimp garlic pesto. It was brought out to me maybe 10 minutes later. From looking at it, I could tell they used bay shrimp from a jar and cheap ingredients. The sun-dried tomatoes were weird. The dough was ok I guess. But the strangest thing was the cheese: it was THE most toughest cheese I think I have ever encountered on a pizza. I mean I tugged on it and it pulled back at me. Really odd. Won't be ordering that again. They do have pasta options and I will be back to try those. Bathroom was very clean and nice. read more

This is the go to place for ordering good take out Pizza & stuff for some of the better Parties at work. The nice thing about a Party order is that you get to try 3-4 different Pizza's, salads, & sandwiches all at once...and even have it delivered to you. So for under about $200, you can feed 1-2 dozen people. Despite the naysayers, Nucci's is far better than the fast food Pizza places...but is not better than some of the best Pizza's around (whether in the great SLO area, or NYC). Their interesting choices of salads & sandwiches is different than many Pizza places. Some of my local friends really love the Nucci's sandwich. If you eat in the restaurant itself, it is not that impressive, but neither are the other places in this area. It is far better for you than donuts. If you are not in the mood for Pizza, you still can try the nearby Indian, Thai, BBQ, & some junk food places. Besides Nucci's, you have to drive quite a bit to get really good Pizza (like in Pismo or Shell Beach). Downtown SLO really does not impress me Pizza-wise. read more

I tried this place for the first time the other night with a friend. I ordered a personal Thai chicken pizza to go for $8.25. I really wanted to like it but there wasn't much there in terms of taste. I expected a kick of sweet tanginess in the sauce, generous portions of chicken and a handful of julienned carrots and bean sprouts-- like what I usually find at California Pizza Kitchen. Not the case here. There's only a hint of nuttiness despite the peanut butter sauce. Chicken pieces are small and few. It wasn't unpleasant tasting though. More like a buttered piece of bread than a pizza. My friend got the spaghetti, which she said was good. Might have to try that instead if I go back. read more

Not sure why Yelp insists on placing this Foothill location on Orcutt Rd., but it is in fact on Foothill. The raspberry salad: SUPER YUM, but the regular is actually fairly small. The dressing tastes like fresh raspberry puree + a little something else. The lasagna - perfection! read more

What?! Ok conspiracy! I know I did a review of Nucci's. Oh well I am happy to do another one. We love this place. The place has been recently renovated, the food is good, it's priced well, and the customer service is astounding. We've been coming here for years and it has always been consistently good. The management does a great job of hiring their wait staff as they are always friendly and helpful. We enjoy the food here but we almost always order the "dinner for 2" as it's a 12" pizza, two salads, and 2 breadsticks for $21. That will always feed the 2.5 of us. Sometimes we order the lasagne which is really good. What wifey truly enjoys is their poppyseed salad. She insists on it every time we go. It's a great place and I recommend it. I'm giving it 4 stars as I am judging the pizza against the other pizza places. It's not the best but it's pretty good. read more
