I cant say enough how much I love this place. Authentic grocery items for Italian cooking, deli with top quality meats and cheeses, and slab pizza cooked that is out of this world. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and offers suggestions when asked. A huge bonus is the parking (albeit limited) for the old port area its such a relief to know you can get it and out quickly because you dont have to spend time and money finding parking. Love this place!
OH MY GOD!! I absolutely love this place!! A great selection of Greek and Italian products. Real pizza, oh so good!! If you live in or vacation in Maine this is the place to go to get real food. Because you cant get really good food in Maine!!
Not a fan. The pizza is really bad & its obvious no one knows what Sicilian pizza is. The imports are kinda lame & over priced. But the deli meats are the biggest offence... They all have a grey color to them like they are ooooold! Im sure its a great deli if you arent Italian.
Nice family business, 73 years.Delicious Sicilian pizza, cold cuts... 😋
All great things Italian. Love their selection of pasta. The fennel sausages are awesome. We also love their Luna Bread.
For as long as I can remember, Micucci Grocery Store has everything you need when it comes to all things Italian. They have the finest foods for any occasion. A great selection of wines from all over as well. Upon entering you get a sense of how good an experience youre going to have by the amount of people wanting to shop there. It gives you a bit of nostalgia of having a neighborhood grocer in the middle of all the upstarts in the area. The entire staff is right there to help find whatever you are looking for. Of course you cant avoid taking a few steps up the stairs. There you can smell Portlands best pizza. The original slab which is why there is always a line to get a piece or two...A great family run store that has always been a staple in Portlands Little Italy.
I get lunch here a couple times a week. The pizza slabs are good. That being said its mostly a grocery store for picking up ingredients to cook at home. If youre from Portland and your Italian you probably already know about it, but if your passing through or dont generally cook Mediterranean food you should go check this place out. I got a gallon tub of Kalamata olives for like 13 bucks. And theyre bread is great. I particularly like the luna bread.
Great selection of imported (the real deal) pastas and truffle products. Excellent Sicilian style pizza and bread. Also carries commercial sizes of imported products.
My 4 year old son and I were told we would have to eat our pizza outside in a tropical storm rather than stand and eat at the counter area. The store was almost empty and we were shocked at the inflexibility of the staff. We left hungry and found somewhere else that was more hospitable. By far the worst experience we had on our trip to Portland.
All the Italian staples and some amazingly fresh Italian parsley. And a decent price too!
The pizza is some of the best I’ve found in Maine.
Everything Italian. Great slab pizza. Really good market. Kinda like Boston North End.
Fantastic Italian food store with great prices
Good pizza and Simi busy when I was here.
Great market with lots of delicious items.
This place is great, so much to try and great service. Food here is wonderful, Ive tried so many new foods.
Outstanding Customer Service great food
Love Miccucis. Good thing I live far far away, or I would be a weekly regular!
Pizza was amazing, so fresh and delicious! They also have a large selection of authentic Italian foods. Will definitely come back!
They are very nice people, I live in Bowdoin and I always go to micuccis when we go to Portland .
Best pizza of my life. I dream about it.
Update: Wow you can now get your Sfogliatelle FROZEN to bake at home. They came out totally AMAZING!!! Just follow the directions and, as the pictures show, they look like THEY made it for you. Theres a reason this store has been around for almost 100 years. Because they deliver the best of Italy from the moment you walk into the store and then again when you get home and devour your goodies:) these will be our new weekly family treat!!!!! End updateSimply the best Italian Grocery Store in Maine. Great staff, excellent selections and the Best Canolis in New England (I know because Ive tried them everywhere in my travels). They make pizza from scratch at 10:30 am. The other Italian Pastry (that I cant spell:) the one thats shaped like a sea shell is simply AMAZING:) I just cant Express how much we love this place. Also, they have off street parking on the side of the building. If you havent been there give it a try, if youre a regular you know already;)
Wow! We stopped here for some wine and got more than we needed. The variety of local and Italian food options is a bit overwhelming, but the staff knows their stuff and they are ready to help.
Great selection of olive oils and pastas.
Good variety, helpful staff
Great traditional Italian grocery store 🏬
I love the reliable quality and great sales! Surely one of the best places to shop in Portland!
You just can not beat the quality, selection and prices at Micucci. The staff there is friendly and helpful too!
I had Micuccis Cheese Slab today 10SEP20...PHENOMENAL! This Grocery store has the best pizza, best international selection of foods, and the most amazing staff. Even though my tour is only 4 years here, we will be customers for life. TRY THEM!
An excellent place to get all your authentic Italian foods,appetizers and pastries. The staff are always helpful and friendly.
Go for the cannoli. Fun fact: cannoli is actually the plural, meaning that you should always eat more than one of them.
Fresh made pizza slab! Cant go wrong if youre a pizza lover!! Friendly faces always happy to see you. Wine selection, cheeses and meats for a nice board at home. Will be back to try new stuff!
Perfect Italian store and delicious pizza.
This Italian Girl is happy there...and the pizzA
Italian grocery with a great deli and wonderful array of Italian goods. Go find out for yourself. Nice people.
I just love this place. Great little Italian store.
Great as always. Everyone wearing a mask. Great stuff. Good prices.
Best tiramisu Ive had in a long time. And I love the eggplant parmesan. The pizza is very tasty but Im a thin-slice girl.
Quaint market with everything Italian, having a deli and pizzeria. There is a bakery section and also a nice wine selection. I picked up an entire dinner - all I had to add was a salad! Homemade pastas and sauces, bread, olive oils & vinegars, wine, and tiramisu! Staff very helpful and friendly, and off-street parking. Youll want to make sure and visit.
Always friendly, great Pizza and fresh cold cuts
Good selection of Italian foods and wine!
Everyone observing wearing masks. Shoppers social distancing
They have always been and remain a much remembered, appreciated, family-owned business that stocks top quality products. Its the only place where I purchase my grated cheese. This place was here before Amatos ? and their original Italian sandwich was something we as a family of 5 enjoyed when my parents drove to Portland - my dad a thing about enjoying great Old World stuff like that. Whenever my parmesan runs low I drive only to Micucci. Looking forward to my next trip there. Thank you!
Amazing customer service! Someone answered my cry for help on a tiramisu cake for my bosss birthday and they were over the top helpful. Highly recommended! (plus, they have very tasty slices of pizza at their location). Thank you!
I wish we lived closer so we could shop here every week!! They have a great selection of authentic Italian foods, wines, and many other items. The prices are great and so was the customer service. We will visit this store every time we are in Portland!!! They also have a wonderful selection of fresh hot foods to-go as well as chilled, prepared items you can reheat at home. (see pictures) I highly recommend checking them out.
Get there early for slabs or Luna bread! Its always a treat to shop there besides that. Wonderful store!
Love everything about Micuccis. The deli has my favorite meats and cheeses. The oil and pasta selection is the best. And of course the Sicilian Slab! A ton of other quality products too, check it out.
Thought there was no way this could be the best pizza ever but now I’m a believer—amazing.
Authentic, high quality Italian foods and wines. Iconic Portland grocer on India Street. This is the last of the original markets in Portland. The Sicilian slab pizza is generous, fresh and the best in town. The selection of pasta and wines is superb. From the staples to the gourmet, youll find what you need at Micuccis.
Popped in for Cannolis and bought a few other grocery items
I give them five stars for the pizza alone. Apparently they have a bunch of Italian style groceries and wine and stuff as well. I just go for the pizza... so good and ready to go.
I drive 1 1/2 hours to get to this store. I am Italian, from Massachusetts and cannot find any store like Micuccis with all of the amazing items they carry any closer to my current home. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!
The Sicilian slabs alone are worth the drive from Gardiner. This is, by far, the best Sicilian pizza in Maine. I also enjoy their imported prosciutto and their homemade cannoli. Everything here is worth trying.
**Ordered takeout during COVID pandemicFood*Sicilian Slab - ok
Best pizza in the world full stop. If youre thinking of trying it stop thinking and just do it. If I lived in Portland I would eat it everyday lunch and dinner.Im usually a thin crust boy but this is too friggin good and rewrites my perception of thick slices of pizza.
Best place ever. 1/3 the price for same product at Brown trading market
Great selection and amazing pizza by the slice. House-made dough and sauce! One of the best slabs Ive ever had!
Back to Micucci again before going to airport. Pizza as always: outstanding! Tasty and fluffy! Tried the tiramisu for the first time and it’s amazing as well. Market has a great selection of Italian foods. So if we were locals, this would be our go to place. Can’t wait to come back!
This is the most Italian place I have ever been to in Maine. If you want buy real Italian food from Italy this is where you go. Also home to the original slab pizza.
The ladies are remarkably kind, and really make you feel like you grew up in the neighborhood! Their food is also stand-out, and the selection they offer excels when compared to their small size. I wish theyd be more honest in updating the time for when new slabs will be out, but thats hardly worth knocking off a star. Great place!
Its a great store, people are excellent and willing to help you with whatever you need. They even went out of their way to find out if I was okay after twisting my ankle and falling in the parking lot.
Horrible pizza and stuffed bread. The pizza crust was ridiculously thick, there was minimal sauce and the pepperoni had no taste. The stuffed bread was more like a large piece of dough (very under cooked in the middle) with a few small pieces of meat rolled inside. I actually pulled as much dough as I could out of it. The grocery store looked wonderful with a very large variety of items.
Excellent meat selection.
Best slab pizza I have ever tasted. Super friendly staff and a great selection of wine!
Best Italian market in Maine. Cant go wrong. Been shopping there for 30 years, it just keeps getting better.
I love Micucci’s, I’ve been there a lot, the pizza is to die for, THE BEST pizza ever, pasta and sauce is soooooo delicious, everyone is soooooo friendly.Thank You
This place is incredible. Huge variety of Italian groceries. Giant meat and cheese counter. Large selection of wines. All at very reasonable prices. Go around the corner for their AMAZING Sicilian pizza slices, sandwiches, and great free cup of coffee! Don’t miss this perfect gem in downtown Portland.
Great Italian provisions! I just bought some sfogliatelle. The folks are great. olives and cheese.
The best Italian market I have found in Maine. I have been a consistently happy customer for over 30 years.
Very good pizza. A unique setup too. The crust was really thick and soft, the sauce was sweet but I could still taste fresh tomatoes. Good pizza.
Best pizza 🍕
Do not be fooled by the exterior. This place has INCREDIBLE pizza by the slice in the back (and a nice selection of imported groceries to boot). After months of curiosity and recommendation, I found myself both hungry and in the vicinity; a heavenly combination.
Best grocery store in Portland! Amazing Italian food and great people, I love it here!
Great supermarket if you want to get high quality salami, bread, red wine etc!
In being pure Italian, I was not impressed with their pizza. The dough needed a little more cooking. As for their tiramisu; truly the best Ive ever had, outside of our own. We make this at Christmastime, and Micuccis was delicious; as good as ours. This is a must go to place to check out for Italian food shopping.
Pizza was great, they had a sign up for a 20 minute wait for pizza, after 20 minutes, they changed the sign to a 15 minute wait. Just say it was a 35 minute wait to start and people who cant wait that long could leave.
I love this store! The memories of Grandmas kitchen come flooding back! Love the selection of foods, meats and cheeses. Time for another shopping trip!
Great spot for charcuterie! Great cured meat selection, olive selection as well as wine and cheese. I wish I lived closer I would be there all the time! I got a small load of bread and it was soo good.
If youre an Italian looking for a grocery store that carries Italian food this is the place you need to go. They carry a lot of specialty items that you wont find at a regular grocery store. I also enjoy their freshly baked breads.
First time there. The pizza is so,so good you just want to take more home for later.
Love this place! Great variety and prices. You wont find many authentic Italian grocers like this.
Love this italian store in Portland. Homemade bread. Spaghetti, served homemade pizza. Wonderful feel of the north end of Boston.
One of my favorite food stores in Portland!
On vacation in Portland and looking for a place to get lunch after buying a whoopie pie at Fat Cats down the street and saw their sign for Sicilian pizza by the slice. Was amazed at the store itself. It was like stepping into Italy, a place I have been. You have to wind your way around the store to find the pizza tucked into a hot corner where baking is obviously taking place. There are a few tables to eat it there and then pay as you leave the store (They trust you to do that) It was too hot for us so we took it to go. I found the pizza sauce too sweet for my liking but loved the crust. My husband enjoyed the meatball sandwich.
Love this store! I gained 5 pounds just from the wonderful smells, alone! The have the best selection of Italian groceries. (Along with other things.). Their Sicilian Pizza, by the slice, is great! I am going back next week for my annual Spumoni....not the holidays without it. They have the real thing, not Spumoni flavored dairy dessert like the grocery stores. All thumbs UP Micuccis.
This is a Favorite, & frequented place Italian families in So.Maine shop constantly, often overlooked because the establishment has resisted consistently the lure of expansion thus staying true to their origins.Small it may be ; but the array of selection is top-notch.Their deli is has a wonderful selection of imports not found anywhere else locally,as well as domestic offerings.They also have a small eat -in, take-home bakery on the upper-level where there is slab pizza slices, as well as old world ikr Italian desert pastry.if youre a local, You must visit here if you have not ...If you find yourself in Portland Me and are craving Italian delicacies, All roads point toMiccucis.
Fun Italian grocery store. Then make bread, pizza and ready to eat meals. Very yummy.
I never give 5 star reviews.. You have to be not only great, but unique and special, with excellent food and service with a smile.. This place has all those things and more.
I dream of the pizza and drive there any time I am even remotely in the area. The market is full of the most delicious things and I always take cheese and sliced meats for the road. I’m starving just thinking about this amazing place!
Great variety of Italian products.
This slab style pizza is so good!! The ingredients are fresh and quality. Thanks for making delicious pizza for such a great price.
Great selection of products from Italy as well as fresh baked bread, ready-to-eat pasta dishes. Nice wine selection too. Worth a detour just to feel as if you are in a small grocery store in Milan.
Best pizza I’ve ever had in my entire life. I always go back. The pizza is always fresh and delicious. I bring my out of town friends and always tell people if they’re in Portland they HAVE to go get a slice.
