“Anthony’s went above and beyond for me and am forever grateful.
It was my wife’s Birthday and Our 13th Anniversary, I was a bit strapped for time to make things perfect and being relatively new to the area I wasn’t sure so where to turn.
Being from the Boston area originally we both like to have some authentic Italian food from time to time and this is what she had requested.
After checking menus of various places Anthony’s checked all the boxes for us.
I secretly wanted to make this a special event for her so I had to keep things kinda quiet.
I called messaged Anthony on Saturday to see if there was anything they could do for me on a Sunday afternoon. I knew it was late notice so I wasn’t going to get my hopes up. I was looking for flowers, decorations and maybe a special table for her and us. He replied “I got you” and would have his manager Mary call me.
Mary called me and asked a couple of questions to make sure she understood what I requested. I also mentioned to her that neither of us were drinkers and asked if they did “Mocktails”.
Ok, so with all of that being said. Anthony and Mary sure did “Have me”.
We arrived and they had a beautiful setup all arranged for us. A special table with flowers and balloons to celebrate her Birthday and also our Anniversary !! She has also gone out of her way to pick up some non alcoholic wine and Tequila mix !! What service already, I knew I was in good hands.
The meal started with some fresh Foccacia bread and dipping oil, it was perfect. We then shared an order of Mozzarella sticks. My wife ordered Cheese Tortellini and myself Chicken. Rollatini, let me tell ya folks, this was the best Italian meal I have had in years !! We finished it out with some of the best Cannoli I have had.
I would recommend this place to anyone, anywhere !!
I was so impressed I had to order a Sicilian Pizza to take home … and let me tell ya, fresh, huge and full of flavor it was !!
Thank You Anthony and Mary for making this special day one to remember !!
You now have two more customers for life ❤️“

“This is hands down one of our favorite pizza places in Clayton, NC. Very comparable to Lucy's in Orem Utah and that is quite high praise as Lucy's is our favorite outside of homemade pizza.
It is easy to order and the wait never exceeds 20 minutes for pickup, that I have witnessed.“

“La Cucina always delivers on quality! We love that they deliver (to our house) as well, plus it's always quick and reliable. Their calzones are super crispy and my wife loves that she can get a Gluten-Free lasagna here (since she has celiac disease and most Italian restaurants don't serve GF lasagna). I definitely recommend their garlic knots as well -- smothered in garlic and olive oil, delicious! Definitely a favorite of ours, and convenient too!

“I don’t normally post food recommendations but I have to for this one. I heard and ad on the radio, and after trying a large chunk of Italian places around the triangle decided to try this too. And let me tell you, it felt like home. We got meatballs and red sauce as an appetizer and I felt like my grandmother had made the pot of sauce. The meatballs were soft and flavorful. My wife had French onion soup and I swear those onions had to be cooking for 24 hours. I always have said some of the best French onion soup I’ve had is at NJ diners, but this, this rivaled that. The pizza felt like I went to Tony’s down the street from my old home in NJ. (Ya know with the little old Italian man watching football in Italian) Garlic knots?! That was like two whole loaves of bread. I couldn’t reccomend this place more. We sat outside, it was quiet and peaceful.“

“UPDATE: I have the pizza another chance after realizing the first time I had the pizza, I was sick due to COVID which coincided with the timing of the pizza. So my apologies.The pizza made us sick. We had loose bowels and throw up middle of the night. The flavor of the pizza and wings is legitimately good though.“
