We have been going here for years. They are consistent, good lasagna and pizza. Kids also really like the. Chicken Alfredo and spaghetti and meatball. Staff is friendly. We will keep going back.

This is the most wonderful lasagna and pizza. They sell NY style. Everything was wonderful! As a matter of fact, my husband and I fought over the leftovers.

Family bonding time as we visited Santa Maria, Ca. Their favorite comfort food is pizza, so we stopped by at this place name Cugini's. Nothing fancy but inviting enough as we entered the joint, a friendly greeting from a young man working behind the counter. You order first and then seat down. . Love the pizza... cooked fresh, all the toppings were delicious and the crust was so good! It is a comeback place or order to go too!

This is my first time trying Cugini's, and I got the tiramisu. The overall taste was good, but the ladyfingers were not soaked long enough in the espresso, leaving the taste somewhat lacking and the texture to be off and slightly crunchy.

We are new/recent customers dining at Cugini's and we've now been back again and again, eating in or take-out. It's our go to "pizza place" now. We have also enjoyed the lasagna and the penne pasta, the pizza is super good, the fresh baked/warm bread rolls = divine, antipasto salad, cannoli's are yum. The staff is so attentive and welcoming.

Delicious pizza! Went on a Tuesday night around 7pm, place was empty but can't imagine why. Got the 1lg + 6pc wing special and the pizza was huge, delicious and fresh. The wings were also really great. Recommend if you are in the area.

This place has the best Pho and Bahn Mi. They are now my new favorite fusion restaurant in town as we can get pizza and pho all in one spot. I work at the animal hospital a few doors down and was so excited to see their menu additions. The staff is always friendly and the pho is always my go to. The bahn mi has the best bread, I think it's made in house. Thanks for the new lunch spot Cugini's.

They now serve Vietnamese Pho, and it's legit delicious! Since the new owner is Vietnamese, you can be sure they know how to cook it. The owner is so proud to informed us that the recipe is a family recipe from generations to generations. You can taste that the broth is not just made from a powder, it's with actual bone boiled for hours. The serving is very generous, with lots of meats and vegetables. Place is clean, people are nice and kind, server is good as well. There are lots of parking spaces available. The place is beside FoodTrip, a popular Filipino Restaurant.

We came in with four hungry teenagers and it did not disappoint. From the thick pizza, to the yummy garlic bread, soup and homemade pasta dishes we all were impressed. Friendly service and fast seating, hands down better than Olive Garden.
Cugini's is such an awesome place with a great atmosphere! Their food is always excellent with deep dish slices and regular full pizza slices to share! It's so good that they even added PHO to the menu! I know it sounds crazy but it's such a good portion and an amazing find with incredible flavors! Their services are always on point because they're always friendly and will help you in anyway possible!! I'll for sure see you soon Cuginis!!!

Service was super friendly and went above and beyond. The pizza is exquisite! Great pizza, loaded with toppings and cheese, and the thick crust is so good if you are a crust person, it is perfect! Definitely would dine there again.

Great food, friendly service. It's not a restaurant with a lot of ambiance, but I can heartily recommend it for takeout!

cuginis used to be the best Italian place in Santa Maria. it got sold. the new owner is extremely rude. he specifically said he will not update the schedule on Google, which is not accurate. and he was trying to push his new "Vietnamese soup" on me.the cashier must have been under the influence, he was so confused by every word. I had to repeat, "I'm eating here" about 7 times. and then I watched him prepare my salad with his bare hands after handling money and cleaning materials. I swear I'm not a Karen ? it was just such a horrible experience, when I was used to excellent service with the previous owner. it's not worth the money anymore. the pasta was flavorless as well....
