CUCINA PIZZA

This business is closed. I walked all the way over to the posted address and noticed a sign that says we are closed. I called the number and it has a full mailbox.

Fast, good value, decent pizzaStopped in for a quick late lunch. Ordered one slice of "meal" pizza. It's an odd name but basically is an everything pizza. It was good.Service: order and pay at the counter, pick up at the counter. Nice to-go box.Overall cleanliness: average

I ordered from Pizza Cucina using GrubHub. I thought that $10.50 for 5 wings and a slice of meat lovers pizza was very fair. I also added a slice of cheesecake because, hey, it's Friday. The delivery person ended up being from the restaurant. He was very nice (wish I tipped him more). The pizza was yummy, wings made perfectly, and cheesecake was scrumptious. Would definitely order from them again.

This used to be Cucina Al Volo, and when it was, it was fantastic. The pastas were well-made, the pizza was tasty. Unfortunately, the change in ownership led to a significant decline. The pastas have often come mushy and overcooked, with sauces not tasting as good, and the pizza quality went down as well. There are far better places in the city for pizza or pasta.

It was 930 PM and I was on foot, so I found something close after the movie. The pizza was out on display and had to be reheated, which is common for pizza by the slice. It appeared old and dry, but I hoped the oven would give it some life, but it was dreadful. I suppose it could be good when it's fresh. I also got 5 wings which were excellent, I would come back for the wings. The staff were super friendly. Overall, not what I hoped for my first night in the city.

Finally, a solid go-to pizza place: nothing fancy, but hit the spot, affordable ($12 for a 12" cheese) delivery pizza. We ordered a 12" pizza with sausage, pepperoni, and Canadian bacon and an order of 10 Buffalo wings.Pizza - delicious, good ratio of cheese to crust to toppings. I loved the crust. It's a little thicker than the brick oven pizzas so common around DC. I hate brick oven crust because it's very thin and often burned. Buffalo wings - disappointing. These were tiny, dry, and had next to no sauce. I ended up adding my own buffalo sauce to help them out. Still ended up throwing about half away. Would not recommend. Overall definitely recommend the pizza and say pass on the wings.

Went for lunch on a weekend with friends as we were in DC and this place had some good pizza and pastas. We tried the pesto pasta and one with vodka sauce and both tastes great. The chicken pizza was a big portion for the slice and I got it to go as I couldn't finish it after the pastas. They also have cheesecakes, canoli and tiramisu or desserts. The prices are also reasonable.

Not a fan. This place was previously Al Volo's and It was actually good. Whoever bought this place doesn't know they are serving Italian food or is trying to transition itself to become a different restaurant. When I came in I asked if the restaurant changed ownership and they guy straight up lied, said "no" and then told me he hasn't seen me in three months (I have never seen this guy before). He was nice enough to give me a 60 cent discount to further distract me. I ordered lasagna and when I received it, I asked if I could have extra Mozzarella. The other guy who gave me my food, didn't know what Mozzarella was. When I got back to work, I realized that there was Curry and Tumeric in my Lasagna. Their Menu also had a Curry section. It was then that I realized that this place will eventually become an Indian restaurant. If you like Indian food, then this is the place for you, but if you are looking for authentic Italian food, this place no longer has it. And they're not honest about it either.When I want Indian food I will be back, until then, if i want Italian food, i'll try to find another place.

Interesting little place. Found it Wednesday night, ate there, and then again on Saturday night. Pizza is good, service is kind, and the pasta and salads are just fine. Good low-cost place to go before a concert at The Warner Theater when you do not have a lot of time or want a cheap and quick bite after a show. Nothing fancy, but again, it works for this specific situation really nicely. I will certainly go here again.
