50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Raleigh

“Excellent pizza! We ordered 2 pies and a gluten free. All were excellent and piping hot. We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Love coming to trivia here. Great pizzas and beers! 🍕“

“We order takeout from this location often and it is very good. My mom orders the cauliflower crust and I get traditional. We have had their salads and wings which are both very good as well. Tonight I needed help because I am handicapped and was unable to walk in easily to pick up my order. I really appreciated that Krystal was so kind and carried it out to me. The service and food here is always good but her help was especially kind tonight as they don’t do curbside pickup.“

“We drove all the way from Swansboro, Nc to eat their pizza and mozzarella cheese sticks! No joke! We take a mini trip just to eat their delicious foods! Highly recommend! Everyone is so kind! My son even loves playing the piano as we exit the building! We are already looking forward to be returning in the near future! The cheese pull on the mozz sticks is crazy! Thank you again!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Surprised to see this place was pretty empty on a beautiful Saturday around lunch. I could see it being more of a vibe at nighttime. Food and drinks were great, but would’ve loved to have our tacos paced better as they arrived literally one minute after our appetizer. FYI they don’t have high chairs so it’s not really a family friendly place.“

“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.“

“Yummy cheese pizza, open late , the guy cooking /serving us was really nice and endearing. Seems like he really cared which is rare in the service industry. Truthfully Idk how many pizza places can survive on hillsborough street but I hope this one does; this one’s good. It’s clean and affordable and everyone was nice.“

“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.“

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

“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 !!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“excelente servicio atendido por sus dueños y la comida muy rica“

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 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.“

“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.“
