“We live in Italy, in Puglia and we know good pizza. My husband, who is Cuban was trained by Neapolitans and has worked in some fantastic ristorantes including here in Raleigh, and we lived in Oakwood, how did we miss this treasure? Tonight we were sooooo hungry and in town for just a week and Franks is closed on Mondays, we didnt reslky want to go far from home either. Mother of God, we are so happy thst we made it a few blocks and got there before they shut down the ovens. Our pizza was straight outta heaven. The taste the crust the ingredients , all right right right... iit was nuclear hot and I only let it cool as I put the pepers to it, every mouthful was fantastico. We went from hangry to happy and smilin' cheesey. The blister on the crust was so perfect we almost cried. Oakwood PizzaBox , amore per prima vez è per sempre! If I ever come back to the states again I am gonna be here“

“Pizza and beer...just delicious. Good selection of specialty pizza when you are hankering for a good pizza. Nice draught choices. While there are quite a few menu items to choose from...their pizza is almost always my go to...satisfies that craving. If you have a big appetite, you can kill one off by yourself...but they are easily shareable.“

“The Chicago pizza is AWESOME!!! Stopped in on a trip too get it to go. The manager (assuming he was) and/or at least bartender made great LIT’s and was a cool guy to talk to while waiting! I’ll be making the hour drive there often!“

“Our Camp Director recommended Gino’s Pizza for our Cooking Camp field trip. She said it is her family’s favorite pizzeria. We were honored that Gino’s allowed us to bring our campers in for a field trip. Thank you for allowing us to make our own pizza’s. They were delicious. Thank you for the 5 Star hospitality!“

“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“

“Great place for fun n relaxing Great service But the country music has to go! Bring back the classic rock station“

“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“

“Giorgios Bakatsias did not disappoint! Great place to grab a bite to eat and/or have a cocktail or glass of wine! The Ornella pizza is excellent!“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for the best pizza in town, look no further than Bricks Pizza! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch. The pizza? Absolutely phenomenal—crispy crust, perfectly melted cheese, and toppings that were fresh and full of flavor. Every bite was a slice of heaven!

But what really made our night unforgettable was Bao, the bartender. Hands down, the best bartender we’ve ever had! Not only did he craft the most amazing cocktails, but he also had an incredible personality—friendly, funny, and so knowledgeable about the drinks. He made us feel right at home and kept the good vibes flowing all night.

We also have to give a huge shoutout to Alissa, the manager—she was absolutely fantastic! She runs the place like a pro, making sure everything was smooth, the staff was on point, and the customers were happy. Her energy and professionalism made the whole experience even better.

If you haven’t been to Bricks Pizza yet, do yourself a favor and go! And when you do, ask for Bao at the bar—you won’t regret it. Plus, knowing Alissa is managing things, you can count on a perfect night out. Can’t wait to come back for another round of great food, drinks, and stellar service!“

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

“Visited my family in Raleigh and heard about the great food Peri Brothers. I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the host was very friendly. We will be back soon. Try a little bit of everything - its all good!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 🍕“

“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 !!!“

“best pizza food truck I've ever experienced. the owner has to upgrade his suspension, because he has a literal brick oven in the back. the owner uses only the best ingredients, is very friendly, and cares more about providing a quality product than he does making cash. can't think of a better person, or product to spend my money on“

“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!“

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

“@o.o ne, that’s a very ill mannered review, especially when we gave you compensation for your fault on a order. You were still greedy and wanted more. I believe you have a bad face and attitude! Hopefully your life gets more interesting than to keep leaving bad reviews for no reason“

“Great food, pizza and atmosphere! Friendly staff and just a fun place to go with friends for great food!“

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

“Our entire family celebrated my daughter’s birthday on a busy Friday night, but we felt like we were the only ones in the restaurant! Personal service, great wine, and the food makes you want to go back every day for something new!!! Thanks to the Longp family for a spectacular and fun celebration! Will be back soon!!!!“

“Great food selection with great prices“

“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!!“

“I found a recommendation for Farina on a Reddit post about Italian restaurants in Raleigh and I am so glad I decided to try it! The food was beyond wonderful with amazing portions and our server, Rachel I. was just as splendid. I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our experience and I will definitely recommend Farina to everyone!“

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

“We enjoy this place because its one of the only places with a dairy free cheese option. If you have family or friends that want a cheese pizza but can't have dairy this is a great place to try. Pizza is a little over priced for what you get and you can definitely get better pie. The staff is hit or miss, I have been and enjoyed the service but the past 2 times we went the staff made us feel like they didnt want us there.“

“😀 Pizzas are always good. Friendly staff.“

“Everyone was Friendly. Service was great. Drinks and Food came out quick Wings were yummy and the fish and chips! We will be back!!.“

“A friend flys into Raleigh every year from SF and the first thing he wants to do is go to Lillys and they never disappoint us. EVERY pizza is superlative and the ambiance is consistent for 30 years now. If you want great pizza, then you want Lillys.“

“The homies and I got hella crazy a while back. My bro turned 32 and we just had to crash out at Chuck e. cheese. The pizza was dumb cheesy and the beer just kept coming. There were hella kids all over the place but it's all good we didn't mind. We played a few games and cashed in our tickets. I threw up over by the stairs.“

“Food was GOOD - not GREAT but. A cut above the norm. I ordered Tostada Salad which was fresh greens with excellentlygrilled chicken chunks. Nope not nuggets and not strips BUT yummy chunks. I will definitely return to re-check those
minor hotspots that prevented me from giving five staragh“

“We discovered this restaurant during restaurant week and we are so glad that we did! We went in about an hour before closing and sometimes that can be a hit or miss, but not for this restaurant! Our food came out hot and perfectly prepared! Everything was delicious and I definitely did not expect these type of dishes at this restaurant! I’m so excited to come back in a try an array of different entrees. The ambience was also great in the restaurant and it definitely can accommodate any type of gathering or small birthday party as well.“

“NC State Freshmen THIS is your go to for late nite grub! Go Pack!!“
