We just moved to Raleigh from Apex, where we had several great pizza/Italian takeout places, including NY Pizza, Johnny's, and Dominic's. We're looking for a good pizza place here, and we'd heard of Assagio's and Cinelli's. Since Cinelli's was slightly cheaper than Assagio's, we thought we'd give it a try. Especially since they boast ""real New York pizza."" Also, reviewers seem to like it so much. Well, we ordered an ""XL pizza,"" garlic knots, and fries. Their idea of an XL pizza is a joke. It wasn't even an 18"" pizza, which tells me that they're trying to charge the most amount of money for the least amount of cost to them. The pizza was doughy and undercooked. Furthermore, the crust was thick like many of these clown joints down here, such as Papa John's. The garlic knots were totally stale, undercooked, with barely any garlic at all. I ate one bite of one and threw the rest away. The fries was the only satisfactory item, but it's difficult to screw up pre-packaged fries. I definitely do not recommend this place. Onwards to Assagio's...
Pros: They have lots of locations
Cons: Their food is subpar
