As a former employee I am making this review strictly on the basis of what i have encountered. I used to frequent Cugini's as much as possible food was great cooked to perfection, Growing up in Queens NY I could not ask for more. When I applied to work there i was hired with in one week, and saw another side of Cugini's, the cleanliness is far far beyond what it needs to be, for warning to EVERYONE, the cooks in the back and especially the pizza makers barely wear gloves or even wash there hands, yes the management can deny this as much as they want and i was at fault also the floor and walls are covered in grime and dirt, just take a peek around the corner by the register or when you walk by to use the bathroom, un covered meats for heroes roaches in bathrooms, ovens barely ever clenaed only QUICKLY scrapped out at the end of the Day. Both owners over price there food and it is far from fresh, if every customer could truely honestly spend one day as an employee this resturant would lose all of it's clients, it saddens me because the owners are good people and mean well but have ABSOLUTLEY no idea how to run a business, also why only give discounts to police and fire fighters when 75% percent of your customers are Military Kinda funny to exclude them when the keep Hampton Roads Running. Pizza is made right in front of you so pay attention people and notice the employees are bare handed using ther aprons to clean there hands ALL DAY LONG, dipping there bare hands in and out of every topping container while making everyones pizza then touching counter tops stuff in the back smoking a cigarette than coming back and making more pizza, it grossed me out beyond belief, they try to hard to make what they call NY Style Pizza and Italian food, one it is Virginia so yes it will be different but if your not from NYC and never cooked food for TRUE NY'ers then dont clain NY Style yeah good food but not NY.
Pros: Semi NYC Feel
Cons: Dirty Restruant
