★★★★★ Ordered food from this place for pickup while on a family vacation in the area. Honestly my expectations were low after numerous bad experiences with halal Italian restaurants. However I was pleasantly surprised. Not only does La Cucina explicitly state on their website that the meat is “100% Zabihah Halal” (some of these other reviewers need to learn how to read) but the staff verbally confirmed this. Food- we ordered the meatball sub, margarita pizza (with added pepperoni), and the buffalo chicken pizza. We picked up the food from about 10min away and when we got home the food was still steaming hot and clearly very fresh. The meatball sub was 5/5 delicious. The meatballs were so good and the bread fresh. The margarita pizza with pepperoni added was also a 5/5. The meat was delicious and the crust was amazing. Although the buffalo chicken pizza wasn’t our favorite, it was still hot, very good, and again the crust was phenomenal. Overall the food was 5/5. I can’t comment on the dining experience at the restaurant but the food was so good if we are ever in the area this is a must visit again. Thanks so much to these guys for restoring my faith in halal Italian restaurants. Oh and by the way, another reviewer accused these guys of serving haram meat. This is a 100% false and “disgusting” accusation. Posted on November 9, 2019
