Our Passion for Pizza
At Cellucci’s, pizza is more than just a menu item—it’s a passion. Every pizza we serve starts with our house-made dough, prepared fresh daily for the perfect blend of crispiness and chew. We top it with our signature sauce, made in-house from vine-ripened tomatoes, slow-simmered with a rich blend of Italian herbs and spices.
Our pizzas are layered with premium mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded each day for that rich, gooey melt. We pile on the freshest toppings, from garden-picked vegetables to high-quality meats, ensuring every slice bursts with flavor. Whether you crave a classic pepperoni, a loaded supreme, or a veggie lover’s delight, we have something to satisfy every craving.
Every pizza is made to order, crafted with care, and served hot from our ovens. Whether you’re dining in with family or grabbing a pie to-go, you can trust that each Cellucci’s pizza is made with the freshest ingredients and a whole lot of love. Come taste the difference!
