Cugino Forno Pizzeria

I’ve enjoyed several dinners here in the past, so I was surprised by this experience. The pizza was overcooked and burnt, and when I mentioned it, the staff said it was “normal.” That response was disappointing. I know this restaurant can do better based on my previous visits.

We ordered six large pizzas for a work lunch, and every single one was absolutely delicious. The ingredient quality is outstanding, and the crust was perfect. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, making it the ideal spot for a group gathering. Service was efficient too. We will definitely be back for more!

We were in town for a graduation weekend and decided to try this place and it did not disappoint! We had the Funghi pizza and added spicy salami on it, it was phenomenal! The pizza was made to perfection and the flavors all came together very well! 10/10 would recommend!

Ordered via Uber Eats while in town. Got the Americano with spicy peppers, and this one’s a bit of a tough call. First off — the pizza itself was really good. The crust had that proper Neapolitan character, nice chew, good structure, and the dough was clearly solid. Flavor was there across the board. But… it showed up warm at best, not hot. Because of that: • Cheese wasn’t stretchy • Everything had kind of settled • You could tell it had cooled off just enough to take the edge off what should’ve been a great pie And that’s the frustrating part — you can tell this pizza would be excellent fresh out of the oven. At only ~7 miles away, not sure where the breakdown was (delivery timing, packaging, etc.), but it definitely impacted the experience. That said, the quality still came through even in that state, which says a lot. If I were staying in Greensboro longer, I’d absolutely make a point to go in person and try it hot — I think that’s where this place really shines. When you travel for work (and your daughter’s soccer tournaments all over kingdom come 😊), you end up remembering the good spots. This is one I’d come back to — but next time, in person.

Cugino Forno Pizzeria is one of those places that instantly feels authentic the moment you walk in. The wood fired oven, the smell of fresh dough, and the simple menu all point to a true Neapolitan style experience rather than a typical American pizza spot. As a vegetarian, this place is perfect because the focus is on simple, high quality ingredients. The Margherita pizza really stands out, with a soft airy crust, slightly charred edges, fresh tomato sauce, and creamy mozzarella. It is light, flavorful, and not overloaded with toppings, which is exactly how Neapolitan pizza should be. The crust is the highlight here. It has that classic leopard spotting and a soft center with a slightly chewy bite. It might feel a bit “soupy” in the middle if you are not used to this style, but that is actually a sign of authenticity. The setup is casual with open seating, and you usually order at the counter. No reservations needed, which makes it easy to stop by, but it can get busy during peak hours. Parking depends on the location. Some spots have nearby street parking or shared lots, so just plan a few extra minutes if you are visiting during busy times. One tip, eat the pizza fresh righ
