Ever since I moved to Durham 4 years ago I would eat at Cinelli's every Friday night. The service was fast, the prices were reasonable and the food was great. All of that changed recently and it all started with a take out order I made. I called and placed an order like I always did, only this time when I got my medium cheese pizza it had shrunk a size. When I looked at my 15 dollar bill I thought it had to be a mistake. The driver assured me that it was indeed a medium cheese pizza just as I had ordered. When I spoke to the order taker over the phone, she told me that I was wrong. The medium pizza was cut into six slices and the mini pizza, 4. I had been ordering the same thing from Cinelli's for all this time and suddenly, the number of slices denotes the size of the pizza. What I received was a pizza about the size of a regular frozen pizza, for 15 dollars. Since I do not make the salary of a CEO, I decided it was a better value to buy frozen pizza. Then last week I had a craving-I decided to give them another try. I went in an odered a regular cheese calzone, my dinner date had a stromboli, we had 2 salads, 2 fountain drinks and some garlic bread. The bill came to 35 dollars. I thought this had to be a mistake. when I looked on the bill, we were charged 2.50 each for 2 fountain drinks. 5 dollars for pepsi? I mean come on...REALLY?! Needless to say I will be standing in line at Kroeger with my 99 cent 2 liter and frozen pizza. Does it taste as good? No. Will I now have enough gas money to get to my job? Yes. The choice is yours.
Pros: Tasty Pizza
Cons: i had a hair in my pizza once and though they cooked me a new one I was charged 4 it.

I ordered their famous grandma pizza and tiramisu. I thought the tiramisu was somewhat stale. But hey, I like tiramisu, so I ate it. No complaints. Then there's their "Famous Grandma" pizza. It's famous, but the servers can't tell me what's on the pizza. The server at my table said it was a thick crust pizza. Then came back and told me that it was thin. In the end, it was thin. I asked what's on the pizza. I heard something like it's got cheese and tomatoes. Really? cheese and tomatoes on a pizza? Is there anything else? She couldn't say. It turned out that there's little else on the pizza. Some garlic, some basil, etc. The pizza is actually VERY GOOD. I have no complaint about the pizza. I'd gladly order it again. But if I ask a question, I'd like an answer. I'd like for it to be accurate. It's not like I asked something unrelated to Cinelli's product. IT'S YOUR FAMOUS PIZZA. Cinelli's pizza menu, both in print and online, will frustrate anyone who's curious about what they're about to order because they provide no information other than the names of the pizzas. White pizza. Famous Grandma Margarita Pizza w/Fresh Mozzarella - Ok... I know there's mozzarella on this pizza. Thank you for that. Anything else? The internet exists for people to share information. How about some description or pictures about your food?
Pros: Pizza... Liquor availalble :D
Cons: Makes you guess what you're ordering
