Update: 01/13/2022-I wanted to update my review because we have ordered from Cuzzins so many times now that we are much more familiar with them. The best pizza in our opinion- the Eggplant Parm Pizza...a little pricey but out of this world delicious.. And better than others we have tried.. Cheesesteak subs- yummy as hell. Entrees- Chicken Francaise- amazing- I'm a creature of habit so those are pretty much what I always order. They usually deliver sooner than they say they will, the accompanying salad with the entrees are always good and fresh. Definitely would try it if you want to check out the Eggplant Parm Pizza! We have actually moved out of their delivery area but make special plans to stop there to get that pizza! 2019-Tonight was our first time ordering at Cuzzins Pizza. They are located close to where we live but previously we were frequenting another pizza restaurant. It was located farther away from our home. It has delicious pizza and dinner meals, so why switch, you ask? The restaurant is so badly managed. They are never prepared for the busy times so delivery is a lengthy wait time. There is more but I will do a review for them. We don't have enough experience with Cuzzins to know about their service, cleanliness, or the quality of their dinners. At this point I can only say this much. When I picked up our pizza, the staff was friendly, but the delivery staff was coming in and out of the restaurant unmasked. The young lady who would have rung up our pizza had I not paid on line, was unmasked also. Pizza- The large sausage pizza was enough for the two of us and quite hot. In fact, it was burned on the bottom, but since the crust itself wasn't burnt, we felt the oven bottom may have needed cleaning. It was,however, still delicious. The mozzarella cheese was of good quality. The sauce was very tasty. Dessert - We also ordered 2 cannolis and while they were very freshly made, the taste was not phenomenal, just sweet, not a true cannoli cream . The item of great concern to my husband and I was the fact that some of the staff, actually, more than half, were not wearing masks. They came in to get their deliveries unmasked. They prepared their food items for delivery unmasked. And there was the young woman ringing up the orders without a mask. That is very concerning. I am not sure why the owner does not insist on the masks being worn. This is a definite mark against Cuzzins. I hope they remedy that soon. After tasting their dinners we will make the decision to order from Cuzzins or continue our search. While we would not make or break the economic future of Cuzzins, we do order out quite frequently, and influence others to go to our favorite restaurants. And they most often take our advice. Likely because they are our daughters. We spend about $80.00, give or take, on a weekly basis, all year round. Not bad customers to have. So address that mask issue, Cuzzins. There is more at risk here than $80.00 a week going out the window. You could say it is a matter of...
Read moreIn an area saturated with Italian restaurants/pizzerias Cuzzins is a stand out for the dinners, not just pizza. There is a dining room spacious enough for a party or a large crowd to eat. Most times I've seen couples of two for a romantic bite or parties of four; friends hanging out. It's BYOB, so bring something to enjoy a leisurely meal.
My last visit included a dinner of Tocci, which is shrimp, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, a lovely tomato cream sauce over fettuccine. Of course, this was after a refreshing starter salad and the crispiest garlic bread. There was enough for lunch leftovers too! Next time I'm going to request the shrimp on the side. For me, it's a better option. The meal was capped off with a creamy cheesecake finish.
Their meatballs are DELICIOUS! Many nights, as simple as it might be to make meatballs and spaghetti, I order a meatball and spaghetti dinner. It's always yummy and always accompanied by a little salad and bread. There is always a beautiful collection of pizzas at the counter if you're just in the mood for a slice or two.
One thing you might not expect is just how busy the pizza delivery is. There are delivery people frequently popping in and out around the front of the dining room. Try to get a table mid-room or further back to avoid the delivery traffic. Unless you're into the hustle and bustle, then take a window seat and enjoy the action! Either way there is always something good to eat here. Bring a sweater for comfort if it's cool out. The dining room has been chilly on occasion. It's absolutely a little hidden gem in the...
Read moreLet me tell you every time I go to NJ i am so excited to eat here! I love love love this place! The food is always incredible and I will tell you I think this is the best Italian food I’ve ever had and I travel all over the place. I live in Wisconsin and I travel all over and I’m waiting all year to come back and eat here! I’m salivating and wanting to book my flight back just to have dinner there! If I could have the pizza shipped to Wisconsin I would be ordering all the time 😅😄 last time I came by my family catered their food and I dream about it every night now 🤤 on top of this! The food is extremely cheap! I can’t believe that past cost less then $20! This pasta should easily cost more, the flavor is better than high end...
