“I love that they actually have green olives! I just ordered and had the best pepperoni and green olive pizza ever. The crust has a perfect texture and seasoning. Staff were friendly to me and suggested the special which saved me money. He also put extra green olives on my pizza which gets them bonus points from me. Great place, pizza, and people.“

“What a treat! We were seated quickly and a server was with us less than a minute. They were really busy, but our server rocked. She brought our drinks, took our order and our salad was out within 5 minutes and our pizza and wing within 15 minutes. Our drinks were kept full and they checked on us often. The food was delicious, we had the bbq bourbon wings, Rustica pizza and The Brixx salad, everything was hot and fresh.“

“We had a great pizza night! We ordered a 1/2 pear & arugula salad to share. Our server (Ryan) brought 2 full bowls and we were sure it was a mistake. We were wrong—just a generous order. Did not know that Wednesday is BOGO until Ryan informed us. We had a Bronx Bomber pizza (delicious) and a mushroom/arugula pizza to go. The restaurant was swamped….our service was great! 😎“

“Love coming back to this place for our corporate parties. Delicious food, great service, beautiful design and warm atmosphere.“

“Nice swanky spot with a modern, sophisticated feel especially in the indoor dining room. The service was great and we definitely enjoyed the ambience. The food was good, nothing mind blowing. We had a pretty good guacamole, and I like that the tortilla chips came in the tortilla shape and you break it up to dip. My tacos were average, but the cliche dish was the winner. The mezcal Manhattan was fantastic. Nice spot, would be great for groups and having fun with friends.“

“I moved to Raleigh from NH recently and tried for the first time a few Pizza’s places. Definitely, Manhattan Pizza belongs to the best. First of all, the great virility of real PIZZAS, made with the respect to different parts of real pizza and combination of its ingredients. Secondary, very testy and healthy additions in the menus, so this one place may successfully satisfy different tests of different members in one family. Finally (and very important): the speedy service and delivery. Thanks a lot to Manhattan Pizza! I will continue to be your customer and strongly recommend this place to all who loves pizza“

“As a native New Yorker, I really enjoyed the pizza! The entire atmosphere is very “Brooklyn-like”. Order by the slice…I missed this. So happy we found this slice of heaven 🍕“

“This place is absolutely amazing!! I’m speechless. Everyone who works here is so extremely wonderful and kind. They are the real deal. The chef salad is to die for with the homemade Italian dressing, chefs kiss. The chicken Alfredo with a little Parmesan is so juicy and flavorful. Even the pizzas are bigger and flavorful. Would 1 million percent recommend this place to others“

“best pizza chicken wings in the triangle worth the drive.“

“We have been going to Dominic's for years! The pizza is delicious. Everything else is just as good. The staff rocks and the location is beautiful around the pond. Live music on weekends and always a smile and great service inside of Dominics. Give it a try! You'll LOVE it!“

“Man we have a big cheese we're we live and it's OK for the price. These guys in here were super courtois, and their pizza is wayyyy better. I'd say better than an Italian place. The ingredients tasted different in a good way. All of my kids told me that it was the best pizza they had. They also made us some BBQ chicken cheese sticks and they were amazing.“

“This is a good place for family meals. You can order two dishes, use a coupon to get one free, and feed a whole family of 5 for just $20! Plus they give you all the free garlic knots you want. Can't beat that! Plus very welcoming of people of color.“

“One of the most genuine business owners I’ve met in Raleigh sense coming here for school. Just took over 2 months ago and the atmosphere is amazing. New outside decorations, seating, and a revamped menu. I will definitely be back, the food was 10/10. By far a new go to spot for me and my girl. Go check them out!! Locally owned as well.“

“Awesome experience!!! We stopped for a couple slices for lunch yesterday. Took a little longer than was expected due to a kitchen mishap. Waitress was keeping us in the loop and apologetic!! We were enjoying conversation so it wasn’t an issue. The manager came over and told us she was taking care of the bill due to the wait !!! What great customer service !!!“

“Great New York style pizza. Sandwiches and desserts are great too.“

“went here on recommendation from friend raised in new york city. got lunch special- 2 slices, 1 topping, drink. $8.50, great value.
randys pizza and tonys pizza have comparable lunch deal for $10.
this was first time at north raleigh store. 20 years ago I tried johnnys pizza in apex, 13 years ago tried johnnys pizza in wake forest.
cashier said owner owns 5 stores in north carolina.“

“Best spaghetti sauce, less than 2 miles from crabtree mall. I even tried hubby's pizza because he was so
stuffed & willing to share
! The pizza was great but i am still a spaghetti girl. Newt was very friendly & helpful as she took our order!“

“Just had one of the best Philly cheese steak subs ever! Definitely would recommend.“

“Came in around 8p and ordered a small pepperoni (hand-tossed) with spinach (spinach recommended by cashier) and he told me 10 minutes. I sat in my car for 8 as I was walking in I was met at the door with a steaming hot pizza & may I add it was quite delicious. Don’t think I’ll be getting my pizza elsewhere!!“

“Incredibly delicious pizza, and has been delicious for years. I even worked here during college, ate the pizza every shift and multiple times a week and I never got tired of it. Had it again recently and I was mind blown by how it tastes the same. Great prices for great pizza, the combos are an insane value. Good to see the place going strong after all these years. Anyone visiting or attending NC State needs to make this a staple they go to if they enjoy N.Y. style pizza.“

“Nothing beats the comfort and quality of Bella Monica food! I first dined here in college when I was looking for some eggplant parmesan - since that day 20 years later it’s still my favorite Italian restaurant in Raleigh! Btw their eggplant parmesan uses in house ROASTED eggplant not fried and I cannot explain how delicious it is. I’ve likely tried everything on the menu by this point and not once have I been disappointed.“

“Love this place … food is always the best and fresh“

“Great pizza with all the diverse fixings ! Truly a savory tastes that keep you coming back for more.“

“Great food selection with great prices“

“I haven’t been to a Chuck E Cheese since the 90’s when I was a kid. I don’t know what I was expecting but this place definitely is great. The place is very clean, the workers are attentive, and the bathrooms are spotless. This is still a place for families and I recommend it.“

“Remo, Sal and Zeus are awesome! Always nice to see smiling faces when I come in. I recently started coming back to both locations when I moved back to Raleigh, but seriously THE BEST pizza around.“

“An unforgettable evening at Anthony’s LaPiazza Prime. From the moment we sat down, the ambiance felt rich, intimate, and effortlessly refined.

The espresso martini was smooth — perfectly balanced with just the right depth. The mozzarella caprese was vibrant and luxuriously fresh, letting every ingredient shine. The veal chop was exquisite — tender, flavorful, and cooked to absolute perfection. And the steak? Impeccable. Juicy, beautifully seasoned, and presented with elegance.

Every dish felt intentional and indulgent — truly a 100 out of 10.

What elevated the entire experience even more was the service. Attentive, polished, and genuinely warm without ever being intrusive. It’s rare to find a place that executes both cuisine and hospitality at this level.

Anthony’s LaPiazza Prime is sophistication, romance, and exceptional Italian dining all in one. A place you don’t just visit — you savor.“

“I haven't had Godfather's Pizza in over 20 years. I drove up from Johnston County to get what I have been missing.....the Taco Pie. It was so good. The service was top notch. The staff was engaging, attentive. The Taco Pie was just as I remembered it. Delicious. The only complaint was that the Pepperoni Pizza was a little greasy, but all in all, it was a great experience and I'm glad to see Godfather's Pizza in Raleigh.“
