Great date night spot for easily the best pizza in the RDU. We got takeout, and the food was still amazing. You can pass on the cannolis, we have both had better. This place will get packed very quickly on weekends.

Can't beat this spot. Really unique and inventive pizzas with some classic staples. Drinks are always on point as well.

First , Food is excellent !!
Now let me mention some things that may count as a negative to some. Yes, it’s very crowded and loud. Yes, the seats may be uncomfortable to some. Yes, the wait is long and no room to wait inside unless you go to the bar. Yes, the crust is burnt a little, but thats wood fire pizza for you, you wouldn’t get it any other way, it’s to be expected. And lastly, yes the staff is not super friendly, but she still got our order correct and our water glasses kept getting refilled and above a, above all, pizza was exactly as it was advertised by our friends. The kinda pizza you think you would eat in Italy!
I ordered the fried eggplant pizza, I had read the reviews that despite the breaded eggplant, it’s not greasy at all and I 100% agree with those reviews, very tasty and I had no guilty feeling whatsoever eating it. One of us, ordered the famous mushroom white pizza, he loved it and I tried it, it was excellent as well and the rest of party ordered the Margherita pizza and they were both pretty happy with their pizza as well.
Also, went to the rest room twice, it was very clean each time, that means someone is keeping an eye on them, kudos to management for making sure bathrooms are kept clean.

The 20% tip that is included in the bill, I’m okay with it, because I’m sure there are people out there that wouldn’t give a good enough tip for any of the reasons above i mentioned, I mean if someone would give 1 star review for whatever reason they felt very negatively towards the place, don’t you think that same person would be a cheap tipper too? The staff need to make their money and not to mention, they are busting their butts dealing with a very large and constant crowd, it’s a 20% well deserved in my opinion!

I will definitely go back with friends again!

This restaurant might have the most uncomfortable seats of any restaurant in America. The food is pretty good but atleast half the people I’ve been there with agree you can’t sit there for more that 10 minutes without getting a sore bum. They are basically a bunch of tiny little wooden stools with no padding.

First time here as we are from out of town. All the staff was on top of it for everyone in the restaurant. We walked in with a 9-person party and got seated right away. Everything we had was delicious and service was fast! We will definitely be back next time we visit! So sad I forgot to take pictures!

Excellent old fashioned pepperoni pizza

Chris Callow

The pizza crust and red sauce stole the show, so good. But the pepperoni and cheese were also great. Fantastic service. Not a super huge menu, but I suspect everything is good.

Me and my friends were coming from the skate park we kinda look like ratty people but the server was so polite they went above and beyond and on top of that they even brought a free order of cut ham to me and my friends at the table honestly the hospitality and atmosphere made that night one that I don't see myself forgetting anytime soon they treated us so nicely
