Cut Stone Handcrafted Italian

Key Information

Cut Stone Handcrafted Italian is a Kenosha-based restaurant renowned for its handcrafted, wood-fired Italian cuisine, with a strong emphasis on Neapolitan-style pizzas. A unique aspect of their operation is the use of a retired 1993 Spartan Fire Engine, which houses their wood-fired oven and serves as a food truck for various events. The downtown Kenosha dining room offers a full menu of fresh, scratch-made dishes, prepared with traditional methods and a focus on quality ingredients.

Customer Perception

Customers consistently praise Cut Stone for its 'outrageously good' wood-fired pizza and 'amazing' crust, often describing the food as fantastic. Signature dishes like the Caesar Salad (with anchovies) and handmade meatballs receive high acclaim. While the food quality is a major draw, some reviews mention a potential wait time for food and that prices are on the higher side. The staff are generally perceived as friendly and enthusiastic about their offerings. Cocktails and wine are well-regarded, though some found other drinks to be less impressive.

Additional Details

Beyond its downtown dining room, Cut Stone operates a distinctive food truck housed within a retired fire engine, bringing its wood-fired pizzas to events and locations around Kenosha. The business emphasizes family history and traditional preparation methods, making everything by hand, including dough and sauces. They also have a connection to 'Daily Dose,' with 'Jen' (likely an owner or key figure) being involved in both.
