Highly recommended!!!!!…read more Been here several times since moving to SC from NY. Definitely the best place we've found south of Brooklyn. Good is great and even more importantly, it's great consistently. The counter staff is always friendly and quick to get you your food. Everything is always spot on, including their homemade Italian ices. More importantly, those ices are available all year long. For anyone who knows good Italian ices, Cucinella's definitely compares to the likes of Marino's. This place has a great NYC pizza joint vibe. Simple yet awesome decor, my kinda music playing discretely in the background. Low enough to enjoy a conversation over lunch but loud enough to hear. Best of all, you can buy a pie (a pizza pie) whole or by the slice. If you're in the area, it would be worth your stopping in. Enjoy!!!

Listen up, everyone! As a 100% Italian, I'm one of the few people here qualified to give this place…read morea proper review . People complain about it being too soggy, undercooked, or lacking toppings--absolute nonsense. This is a perfectly authentic Italian pizza. If you know good food, you know this is the kind of quality you usually only find in top-tier restaurants in major cities like LA or NY, or back in Italy itself. It is absolutely worth every penny. Sure, you can go to a chain and pay half the price, but you're just paying for unrisen dough, low-quality ingredients, and zero wood-fired aroma. To top it all off, our waitress was great and the pizzas came out incredibly fast, even with the place being packed. This is the real deal. And no, they didn't pay me for this review LOL

Pizzas are pretty good - crusts are soggy (too quickly close to flame without allowing base to…read morefully cook and crisp up as well as overloaded toppings while delicious, adding too much liquid. Service model is a disaster - greeted from behind a plexiglass barrier (Covid is long over), no paper menus mean consumer need to try to read on phone which is a disservice to both diner and restaurant - no clear understanding of available offerings - no eye to key items, promotional add-ons, appetizers...forget desserts. You have to get up to order including water and wine...no service utensils for antipasti - how do we get it on to our plastic plates? - No table touches for how'd dinner, clearing or reorders of wine...a big miss for restaurant and diner. Cheap plastic plates and silverware - wine glasses have "Christmas themed etchings - huh? No details of wines offered though good quality and value at $10. Manager/owner is behind counter making pies...staff in cut-off shorts and sloppy. No sense of hospitality. Overall - a $100 bill for a very poor "fast casual" experience. Maybe okay for take out but pies are $16-21 for 12" with NO ATMOSPHERE (Did I mention have the store room is in dining room - nice) and NO SERVICE and NO HOSPITALITY. Unfortunate as it could be so easy to fix.

It's been a few months since we've been to this restaurant, but decided to give it another try…read moretonight. I ordered the "steak" wedge sandwich as I remembered how good it was the last time. I took a bite and no steak. Took another bite and no steak. Opened up the sandwich and dug around and found the equivalent of maybe 1/2 slice of roast beef like meat. Opened up the other half and there was even less. (Wish I had taken a picture). I asked the waitress to come over to our table and showed her my sandwich. It literally looked like bread and cheese and no meat at all. She went to the kitchen. She came back and said that my sandwich was right and they don't put as much meat (none) anymore due to increased food cost. $10.00 sandwich = $0.50 of steak. Despite the "vegetarian" steak sandwich, our waitress was top notch!!!

If I could leave no stars I would. You have eight people working one table seated. 13 minutes then…read morefinally greeted and seated. 18 minutes for drinks to arrive. My husband and I ordered pizza and garlic knots my son got the kids pizza. Nothing was cooked all the way. Garlic knots were extremely greasy. Pizza was bland and tasteless. 45 minutes to get food. Our poor waitress was doing her best. Eight people working and she was bussing tables, taking phone orders and serving us. Will not be returning to this place. I'll go to the one in Swansea. Save your money. Table next to us didn't even eat there food.

I walked up with my dog planning to tie him to a light post while I ran inside to order, but before I could even get to the door the manager noticed us and invited us to wait in a covered alcove so my dog could stay dry and comfortable. It immediately made me feel welcome. While waiting, I grabbed a drink ,.. they have cocktails, draft beer, and bottled options ....and the whole place had such an easygoing, friendly vibe. The pizza itself was the real deal: true New York-style and absolutely delicious. Great people, great atmosphere, and food that lives up to it. I'll definitely be coming back.

Lately, Nicky's has become our "Go to" when we're hungry for a tasty pizza, and our last visit did…read morenot disappoint. Nicky's is on Main Street and though one might be worried about parking, there are plenty of spaces available. We parked in the lot by the Ice House Amphitheater. Our friends got a spot right in front of the restaurant. Our server was pleasant and after initially being seated by the window, we requested a move closer to the fire place. We ordered our usual: Grandma's with sausage and mushrooms on one half. When the pie arrived after about 15 minutes, it looked great. The sauce at Nicky's is a bit tangy and slightly sour, which we prefer. The crust is thin and slightly crunchy with a nice chew included. The large pie is cut in eight pieces, so each is us got two nice sized slices. The restaurant is cozy and features two dining areas. There are loots of pizza places to choose from and Nicky's is too good not to check out.

I get there early and wait in my car and go in to pick up my cheese steak sub and they have nothing.

I wait for them to make it and she tells me it's ready. I walk up to the counter and there's a pizza box there!!! At this point I'm starving and fed up so I just take the pizza, say "that's fine", and I go. They also made me pay for it!!!!!!! When I got home, I opened the pizza box to a large pizza with extra extra extra cheese, onions and a sprinkle of mushrooms! Absolutely no steak!!!!!! With red sauce on the side!

It was really nice to have servers who were kind and worked together to attend to tables as needed. The food was amazing. Very high quality and several cuts above anything you'll find in the area. They only serve pizza, but they do a damn good job of it. If you enjoy a good hole-in-the-wall establishment, this is the place to go. Also, they are a pioneer for the area in the "end tipping" movement. All of the food is slightly more expensive than you might anticipate, but it is WELL worth every penny. Shout out to Bean and Savannah for the EXCELLENT service!
