We had a wonderful experience at Cugino Forno. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming, and OMG — the pizza was extremely delicious. One of the best pizzas I’ve had!

Went to hi-wire for beer, ordered the forghi and a salad online and while I had to wait a few minutes upon arriving as they were slammed they made sure I was taken care of. Pizza was incredible, almost addictive it was so good. You could tell the ingredients were fresh by the taste, more so than any other pizza I've ever had. Crust was also excellent, doughy. The best pizza I had had before this was v pizza, but I think this shop is better.

My family and I just love their pizza. It's simple, it's authentic and it's classic Italian. I brought my mother here, whonwas born in Sicily, and she thought the crust was firm and crisp while the toppings weren't overdone. I'm a fan of one size offerings and no substitutions. I've been to their other locations in Greensboro & Wilmington, and they are just as wonderful. The picnic table seating is casual and classic while the warehouse type atmosphere gives off a trendy vibe. This is not a fancy dining experience, but is a great place to enjoy delicious pizza along with their Gelato and other desserts!
