Came here on my lunch break and was pleasantly surprised! The place was clean, spacious, and had plenty of seating--which is always a plus when you're trying to escape the office for a bit. The staff was friendly and they've got a little bit of everything on the menu--Italian eats, Latin dishes, pizza slices with personality. I grabbed a ziti slice with chicken cutlet and a chicken Caesar slice. Both were solid, but that chicken Caesar slice definitely stole the show. I'll definitely be back--eyeing that taco slice and buffalo chicken next time. Prices were fair, parking was easy, and the portions hit just right. Final thought: good vibes, good food, good lunch break. read more

I've ordered takeout three times thus far since moving to the neighborhood, and I've had a great experience each time. Once you order delivery, your phone number, address, and form of payment is saved for easier access and continuity of customer service. The staff members who answer the phone, are friendly and cater to me every time! Pizza - They serve both small and large pies. Every topping we've tried (pepperoni, cheese and Hawaiian) was delicious!! The crust toasted to perfection. I'll capture photos next time I order. read more

I have never been inside this pizza place. We order here from the office often. The food is always good. Delivery fast (beware they don't always read the directions in the delivery section- not bad in my opinion if this is the negative in the review.) Salads are fresh and generous portions. GARLIC KNOTS ARE AMAZING!! The soups have plenty taste. I personally did not have the pizza but heard back it was good. All around a good place. read more

Doesn't deserve any stars. They totally gave my food to the wrong person. The person came back to return the food as I stood here waiting and watching them scramble. They have me waiting for a new pie because I refuse to take the pie that went to someone's house and back but she's telling me the mozzarella sticks are ok. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!! Don't come here! It's a joke!! read more

Clean, comfortable, friendly. The owner is often there and he's always super welcoming. Giving this 5 stars based on that and the PAN MARGHERITA. This pie is focaccia like. Crunchy on the bottom and top, nicely seasoned. The slice is thick, but fluffy, not dense. It has fresh mooze (that's mozzarella) and basil and some other herbs. One slice is more than satisfying for $5.00. A really nice bite. With a drink, you're still well under $10 bucks . You can't get lunch at Mickey D's for that anymore! The other thing I like is that they ask you to sit, bring you your slice. Put you on the honor system for payment AND, your slice is brought to you on a dinner plate. No greasy paper plate here! I'm looking forward to sharing the Pan Margherita with friends and trying some of the other enticing looking slices and kitchen entrees. Oh and did I say PARKING!!!? read more

They have the best pizza. Giovanni was the best server and there are really comfortable seats

I had a terrible experience trying to place an order over the phone. The person who answered was yelling at me, demanding that I hurry up and tell him what I wanted. He literally shouted 'FAST!!!' at me. TERRIBLE !! read more

I'm aware everyone has an opinion on pizza. Being new to the area, it proved challenging to find a place serving the style of pizza we like. Going by reviews helped a bit, but it was the photos Yelpers took that steered us to Ernesto's. Yes! They have old school, traditional pepperoni pizza! Delicious! Mixed green side salad, very fresh and tasty. Great service! We'll be back! read more

I've been a long time patron of Pizza Cucina and I hate to say it, but in think I'm done. Something has changed and the pizza has become awful. I have no idea what's changed, the ingredients, the way it's prepared, I don't know, but it's terrible. The crust is hard and flavorless with as much flavor as cardboard. The rest is entirely too doughy. On top of that, when ordering by the slice, it's not even hot. No matter how long the slice is in the oven, at best it comes out warm. I really don't know what to say. I feel bad, because I like having a pizza place so close, but I just can't eat here anymore. read more

There's nowhere to sit as they have nearly all the tables "reserved" despite the fact that it's almost always empty. During the summer the door is always open, it's hot, and there are flies everywhere. Food is average, but not good enough to make up for the rest. read more

As a kid, the original Ernesto's was my family's go-to pizza restaurant. I grew up enjoying a slice and a grape soda at the shop with my dad. I was happy to see that the business flourished and they were able to expand to turn Ernesto's into a more formal dining restaurant and relocate the slice bar to Pizza Cucina. Sadly, I think the main Ernesto's restaurant has since closed, but Pizza Cucina is still thriving. They make great pizza! Whether it's slices or pies, the ingredients are fresh and flavorful. They have nailed the quintessential New York style with a slightly thin, charred crust. A few years back, I also discovered that they make incredible garlic knots. Often times, garlic knots are too dry and doughy in the middle. Pizza Cucina's are deliciously moist with olive oil all the way through. They are loaded with garlic and seasoning. A must try! Even though it's a small restaurant, they have their own parking lot with just a few spaces. In the summer, they have great outdoor seating. The guys who work the counter are delightful and I hope to continue to support this business for years to come! read more

I usually stop in as this place is my go to when I'm in White Plains which is every week, sometimes more often. The staff, the food and the overall atmosphere. Unfortunately I just had an experience that soured me. I was on my way to an appointment and stopped in to grab a slice and when I went to pay via debit the staff person told me "Read the sign below" which stated minimal charge for Debit $10.00. As much as I come into this location to relax have a pizza, have a beverage and to chit chat with staff or other customers. It seems my allegiance and satisfaction towards your business doesn't matter now that you are trying to handcuff me to spend what you deem necessary towards me being your customer. I have obliged you for more than 10 years and for your staff person to address me as such displays a lack of appreciation in my business. I am very disappointed. I will not be returning... read more

Ordered pizza for delivery. Delicious pizza. Good delivery service. Ordered meat lovers pizza. Lots of pizza choices. Will definitely be ordering again. read more

We had our holiday luncheon yesterday catered by Pizza Cucina. From beginning to end, they did a fantastic job. The setup, food, presentation was unbelievable. Everything was perfect. Thank you Alex, Ellio and everyone else who was involved in making our luncheon so perfect. See you next year! read more

You know that place that always comes to mind whenever somebody talks about their favorite local restaurant? That place that they, their family, and their kids go to? This is that pizzeria for me. I've personally been going since high school and theirs is my favorite pizza slice. I'd recommend it if you're stopping by for lunch or want grab dinner with your family. read more

New ownership stay away. I ordered a cheeseburger and fries on the phone. When I showed up I was checking out the slices in the display case waiting for the girl to say "Can I help you?" When I said "hello" she turned around and said "what?" I said I placed an order on the phone.... As she went to to the kitchen to check on my order I walked out in disgust. read more

Walked in and ordered a chicken roll and side of garlic knots. Normally I'm not big on tomato sauce being in the chicken roll. I'm a changed man. Perfect amount of cheese - that melted dripping with every bite. Perfect amount of marinara sauce. Not the type where it's overcompensating, chicken was tender and tasty and not dry. This place is tied at first with chicken rolls. I will be back and being in EMS you appreciate good quick food with very nice staff. read more

White Plains has a few Pizza option places and plenty Italian cuisine places too, Ernesto's being one of them, but if you are looking for a family style, excellent service, who serve pizza among other options look no further. The staff here provides excellent customer service, Gio did a fantastic job with my drink, despite me being a lil picky with the flavor I was craving. They are COVID friendly and its a great place for a quick bite on the bar, a night out with the family and kids, or a date night for a newly couple to get to know each other. My bitter, sour drink was delish! read more

Unfortunately this place has gone way downhill over the years. Last night we we got a Grandma pie, caesar salad, and garlic knots and all fell short. The pie was ok, but the crust was flavorless. the salad was chopped romaine with a few shakes of sprinkle cheese. And the garlic knots had so much garlic they were barely edible. IMHO, there are better options in the area. read more

Don't go there. Bad experience before I even sat down. I walked in to see if they had a table for 8 and the person said with hand motion, "don't call, don't eat". There were 2 tables but again I was told "don't call, don't eat". I was appalled by his behavior. He was rude making fun of me. This is a local pizza place and you need reservations then you should say that. They will never get my business again. read more

I ordered two small pies, a calzone and a few other little things last Thursday. This is what I got! Horrible service as well, my little niece said to me, "why was the guy so rude"? He said to me that my card was declined, I told him that it couldn't be, and to try again, and he did, my card went through. But his attitude was just nasty, I get home and when we opened up the pies, this is what we got! Never again would we order from this place!!!! read more

I placed a delivery order from an app not realizing how far away it was from my location. The sandwich (I think it was called the Sicilian, chicken and broccoli rabe)arrived still hot and was delicious. It was a very generous size as well. I felt bad to have the driver come out so far, especially for just a small order but wanted to give them thanks and to recommend Pizza Cucina for those closer to the restaurant. Next time I'm in that part of town I will stop in. read more

One of my favorite places to grab dinner or just some pizza. I really like like outdoor tables with umbrellas. Quick and friendly service. As a New Yorker, I am critical of my pizza and Italian food... And this place always impresses me and keeps me coming back for more. read more

Great location was very surprised why the place was empty during rush hour until I went I inside and a worker approached me about the parking situation. The lot was awkward and unless you are a regular you won't know which is the entrance and which is the exit, also there are no signs. The older gentleman explained that next time just come in through the entrance that way anyone exiting won't have a hard time exiting the parking lot( for reference there was one other customer) I took upon myself to move the vehicle immediately to be respectful then proceeded to order my food. The garlic knots were nicely portioned but two of them were slightly burnt and the marinara sauce was slightly watered down. The drink selection was very good but the set up was slightly weird because when you order the food there is a small selection of drinks and you don't notice the rest of the drinks that is behind the counter to the right of the cashier until you sit a table which are the less expensive drinks. As I was consuming my food the same individual who had approached earlier about the parking was now smoking a cigar outside but right next to the window which brought it in the smell. Thankfully he was almost done at this point. Staff seemed slightly annoyed and stressed, that could explain the multiple jobs posted on the door. So needless to say will I be back, maybe just for a beverage! read more

I am a pizza aficionado and I must say this was one of the best New York style pizza places I've ever had. Went in with a group of friends and we got adventurous and ordered the formaggi white pizza, the chicken marsala, bruschetta, and more. It was made fresh and so good I'm embarrassed to say I ordered an additional round to go with a side of lentils. Glad I don't live nearby bc this place could be dangerous for my hips. read more

Too bad I can't rate it with a negative star. I didn't get the opportunity to taste the food because i didn't go beyond ordering the food. After calling twice to place order, confirm order and request landmarks near establishment, I told them to cancel the order. Employee was rude, sarcastic and lacked any resemblance of bare minimum customer service. Way too many good food establishments in the downtown White Plains area to choose from with excellent customer service. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. read more

this place has great food. I've been coming here for over 20 years. Charlie is always hospitable. Authentic Italian food and great quantities. We try other places but always come back here. read more

Thank you for acknowledging my concern. As stated before, the food and service was great on all other occasions. However, I didn't appreciate my son's experience.

I'm not an expert on where to find the best pizza in New York, and much less in White Plains - as I've only been a resident for a little over a month. Nevertheless, tonight Ernesto's delivered one of the finest pies I've ever had. Their Grandma's Pizza is top shelf material, prepared to order, and delivered fresh out of the oven. read more

This my all time favorite pizza place! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Their chicken roll is the absolute best in all of Westchester!!! I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch. I only have a half hour for lunch and their attentive staff always makes sure my food comes out quickly and cooked to perfection! read more

SUPER DISRESPECTFUL! Somebody answers the phone like you just slapped their mother which I felt like doing by the end of the call. The food is NOT GOOD and even if it was it doesn't give you the right to disrespect your customers. How do you BARK for a credit card number before you tell the customer the total? That's not how this works buddy. I had half a mind to come down there and go to town but y'all lucky it was my grandmas funeral today god rest her soul. Definitely not supporting this business again. MIND YOUR MANNERS PEOPLE. read more

Solid food. But Ernesto is truly missed. The current management here doesn't seem to want to be there. And although the food hasn't changed much, the friendly faces have. I hadn't been in since the passing of Ernesto, and Though I will be back, I could only wish to not have to see the not so nice "owners face". Polar opposite of Ernesto. Ernesto made this 4-5 star. read more
