How many people vacation here? 0??

Next you're going to tell me that the cheesesteaks here are amazing.

2/11/2008 9:28:20 AM

Raleigh is like remedial for everything except maybe BBQ

2/11/2008 9:31:34 AM

ruckus

Lilly's and Pepper's are awesome, I don't know that they are the best in the world and I'm not saying they are, but I love their pizza.

If you really want the best pizza in the entire world, you have to look for the class and originality of Dominos. There, I just finished the argument, because clearly there is no argument that can take down Dominos as the absolute best pizza in the world. In fact, if you want to impress someone this Valentines day, take them over to your local Dominos parking lot and grab a 5, 5, 5 deal. She will surely be floored by your smooth and romantic style and your ability to order not one, but three pizzas. Sharing these in the back of your car in a parking lot is going to get you somewhere.

Ruckus cannot be a serious answer. Seriously?

I think Lilly's is pretty damn good. Never been to capitol creations or moonlight, but one good restaurant does not a pizza town make. I like Sylvia's too, better than any of the other Hillsborough spots, but I have no illusions that you can probably get pizza that is as good as Sylvia's in hundreds if not thousands of other cities/towns.

So we're not a VACATION town. I don't think that necessarily says a lot about whether or not we're an anything else town.

2/11/2008 9:56:38 AM

never been to sylvia's either

but lily's i have
and i love

2/11/2008 9:58:22 AM

^^I think they were just saying that nothing is especially good enough to draw people here.

2/11/2008 10:01:59 AM

Mellow Mushroom is fucking $$$$$

Moonlight FTW

2/11/2008 10:03:21 AM

Raleigh has some good NY style pizza places, no doubt. Much better than the Bay Area...

New Haven is the best pizza city in America though. Pepes, Sallys and Abate are freaking amazing...

2/11/2008 12:05:47 PM

for the taste test (only places in raleigh):

vincent's
lilly's
capital creations
moonlight
sylvia's
I <3 NY
mellow mushroom
amore's
ruckus

wildflour
milton's

Lilly's ftw

seriously, there I can order a pizza the way my ma makes it /guido

2/11/2008 12:20:28 PM

Best Places in Raleigh from somebody who's lived here their whole life.

1 - Amedeo's
2 - Andy's
3 - Lilly's
4 - Sinellis
5 - I <3 NY
6 - Two Guys
7 - Amore's
8 - Stella Mare

When I went to New York City, my goal was to eat the best pizza I could find and when I asked around, everyone said "Go to Sabaros" or howevfer its spelled. I was disappointed but I did find a great old fasioned place in Hunter, NY.

And family is from Chicago, so I've had my fair share of great pizza there too.

2/11/2008 12:55:09 PM

I've never liked chicago style pizza.

it's all dough.


My favorite pizza in raleigh is Wildflour.

2/11/2008 1:21:34 PM

^^ You put Amedeos in the top spot and I<3 NY Pizza made the list while Mellow Mushroom did not...FAIL.

Lilly's Pizza

for the mother fucking win

2/11/2008 1:24:18 PM

Piccolo Italia
Moonlight Pizza
New York Pizza
Uno Chicago Grill
Rudinos

2/11/2008 1:26:37 PM

This is a sorry excuse for a Raleigh pizza thread if nobody's mentioned Piccilo Italia. Their pizza rocks. Me and NyM410 used to order from there twice a week sometimes.

I've lived in NYC for over 2 1/2 yrs and there are a lot of damn good pizza places up here, however I must say that Piccilo Italia and Lilly's is pretty good stuff in comparison.

Raleigh is a good pizza town compared to 95% of the places you could go, so quit hatin'

As more and more northerners move to the metropolitan areas of the south the quality of the pizza will only go up (as it already has)

2/11/2008 1:31:29 PM

Moonlight is good, and if you want the super-thin Italian style with cheese that stretches for miles then you need to go to Piccola Italia, but the best pizza place around here isn't in Raleigh...

it's Pepper's in Chapel Hill.

The Ball Park (feta cheese, andouille sausage, and eastern-style barbecue on a pesto slice) might be the greatest thing I've ever eaten.

2/11/2008 1:37:27 PM

That does sound good. Good thing I'm not a pizza snob and am willing to try anything!

2/11/2008 1:38:44 PM

Pizza has gotten better in Raleigh, but still sucks compared to the stuff you can get in the northeast.

Yeah, lets go to NYC and eat at a chain!!! You could have enjoyed some fine tasting Sbarro pizza at the fucking rest stop on 95 in Deleware...

[Edited on February 11, 2008 at 2:32 PM. Reason : miltons on sixforks was decent for greaseball pizza]

2/11/2008 2:31:43 PM

MILTON'S PIZZA

good eats

2/11/2008 2:32:37 PM

STONE WILLYS!

2/11/2008 2:33:24 PM

^ lol

2/11/2008 2:34:28 PM

My favorite pizza comes from a place called J&S New York Pizza out in Apex.

It's absolutely delicious.

2/11/2008 3:43:07 PM

most of you never venture out of the ncstate arae and downtown/westraleigh/cary. Vincent's is probably the best ny style around. There's no way possible anyone could argue it isn't top ten.

2/11/2008 3:43:52 PM

there used to be those fat italian dudes in the back of one of the convenience stores on hillsborough street...that was some good shit...true authentic NY style...massive flat pieces to fold over

2/11/2008 3:45:05 PM

this thread makes me want pizza

2/11/2008 3:55:50 PM

me too and I had it yesterday and the day before

Lily's is great. Too bad it's so far from where I live.

2/11/2008 4:00:13 PM

yeah Raleigh really stands out as having great pizza

especially since the oft cited Mellow Mushroom exists NOWHERE ELSE
its a Raleigh institution and they don't have them anywhere but in Raleigh

2/11/2008 5:36:18 PM

Maybe our Mellow Mushroom has the tastiest pizzas. They don't have Raleigh tapwater in Asheville.

2/11/2008 5:45:32 PM

there's a Mellow Mushroom in Kennesaw, GA too

and many more

Raleigh must be a town for good pizza cause there's like a ton of Pizza Huts
durr

2/11/2008 5:46:43 PM

Don't forget Village Pizza.

Oh wait.

2/11/2008 5:48:29 PM

Pizza Village?

2/11/2008 5:56:39 PM

Wasn't that place on Western Blvd. in the A-Frame building (across from Big Lots) called Village Pizza way back in the day? It's a Pizza Hut now I think.

2/11/2008 6:01:46 PM

Village Inn

2/11/2008 6:02:17 PM

Yeah, I think that's it. I only ate there once in 1997 or something.

2/11/2008 6:04:47 PM

Unfortunately you won't get an exact NYC pizza anywhere except NYC. You can thank the tap water for some of the deliciousness

2/11/2008 6:05:09 PM

Another reason that Pepper's rules:

Moses Motherfuckin' Norman.

2/11/2008 6:08:28 PM

best pizza i've ever had was Lombardi's Coal Oven in NYC


best in Raleigh? for me, its the Ranch at I <3 NY. It's great but for the runs.

2/11/2008 6:43:46 PM

When I took my g/f home and to the city last year (first time) she was all "i want NYC style pizza!"...

She soon realized that there is a HUUUUUGE difference between "NYC Style" and "NYC" pizza-

aside from the difference in sugar content of sauce, quality of ingredients used, 2 huge differences are portion and price... You go to ruckus and get a 24" pizza and spend damn near $25 with toppings,

You go to NY and get a 20" pie for about $7 depending on where u go-
