Editorial Review for Cinellis Pizza – by Alice Bumgarner
In Short
This could be any family pizzeria: Rows of easy-to-wipe-down booths, a counter up front with pizzas on display, an Italian waitstaff. It makes a perfect setting for families, though couples flock here as well. A vodka sauce is a sinfully rich melding of prosciutto, shallots, tomatoes, basil, cream and Parmesan. The meat sauce, though simple, has a flavor beyond reproach. And you could eat a different style of pizza every day of the week.

Go here like every single week. I always order it to go on the phone ahead of time. I drive like a good 25 min. to get there because I love their pizza, however last week and I asked how many slices did an extra large come with because I usually order a large, but I had my nieces and nephews this night so I needed a few extra slices. The young lady I was speaking with told me that th New York Pizze came with 12 slices, I said "''Cool" and thats what I ordered. When I got home, we found the pizza only had 8 pieces. I immediately called back and advised them of the problem. They said it was a mistake, the pizza I ordered does only come with 8 pieces, they told me wrong on the phone. She said when I came back I could get 5 dollars off, I was fine with that. However, the owner was not. I ordered an extra large pizza tonight and reminded of the coupon on the phone. When I got there the owner which was a heavy italian female asked me in a very rude manner why her employee gave me a discount, I told her, she was very upset. I couldnt understand why because they also have 3 dollar coupons on line! And why be upset over 5 dollars to a regular customer. When I left I called in a very courteous manner and asked for the manager-owner, she got on the phone, I told her that I was bothered by her acting so ugly, she said she was gonna hang up on me, I asked why and told her I was a customer just expecting better service, she actually starting being very rude and obnoxious, I eventually called her an ugly name after really trying to be the bigger person. I am the customer and found myself being more courteous in my position than she, I will not return! Also I work at a big school, I will be advising others of this terrible service, we will go else where!
Pros: Very Bad Owner- Manager, Veerrry Bad Attitude!
Cons: Good Food

My wife wanted pizza for lunch, and we had not tried Cinelli's yet, so we stopped in. Most of the prices were way too high, including the drinks -- $2.25 for a soda is ridiculous. For that reason, my wife and I split a Philly Cheese steak, and my kids (2 and 4) had pizza. My wife ordered a soda, but I asked for a glass of ice and brought in my own can of soda. They did not like that, and the manager explained that they do not allow food or drink from outside the restaurant. I apologized and said I would not do that again. However, we were then snubbed by the waitress, who only looked at us to bring us our food and our bill. I left no tip because we were ignored. The manager was incensed at this, and proceeded to berate us and our "screaming kids!" This is not the service I have come to expect in Raleigh; there are plenty of restaurants with better food, prices, and service.
Pros: the food was ready surprisingly quickly
Cons: inexcusably rude management
