cap creations isn't TOO bad if you build your own. but the large toppings are like $1.50 so that can add up. but a large plain cheese is like 11 or 12 dollars. so if you get more than a couple of toppings yea, you are looking at $20. but their specialty large pizzas are $texas. it is still good though.

on my top 5 for sheezy.

even though i still put pepper's in my top 5. i mean listing a pizza place in charlotte would be one thing but chapel hill is still in the area. and some people frequent chapel hill. and i like pepper's!

and piccola and moonlight.

"I think the 'za in Raleigh tends to be over-topped and this results in a soggier crust crust needs a little snap in it!"

When we go to Piccolo Italia I started to ask for the pizza to be "well done." They leave it in an extra few minutes and the crust gets crispier and the cheese cooked a bit more. It is perfect...

[Edited on September 2, 2010 at 10:04 AM. Reason : ^ that's really cool]

9/2/2010 10:04:13 AM

I feel like you need to do that at more and more places


I don't mind a doughy crust, but damn- I hate cheese that isn't fully melted... fucking cook my damn pizza bitches!

9/2/2010 10:07:36 AM

I know this is a pizza thread but Capital Creations' ribs are SO GOOOD.

9/2/2010 10:07:58 AM

yeah its just that Southerner's like their bread products all gummy and shit

when it should be crunchy and toothsome

9/2/2010 10:08:20 AM

i'm from the south and i'm not a fan of doughy pizza

well done bake please

but i am a fan of doughy donuts i mean. that is a bread product, right?

And on a related note, this guy/girl has definitely eaten at Lilly's:

Quote :

"Lastly, the service has always been kinda sad at Lily's. I realize they're busy, but there's got to be a way to process orders more quickly. The line is always longer than it should be. It's funny to watch the servers calling out people's names and half the time not finding the patron during their first lap."

One night, I listened to one of the servers obnoxiously yell, "CHUCK! PIZZA FOR CHUCK!" for about ten minutes. Ridiculous.

the review about the decor trying too hard

and there are plenty of restaurants who call your name out after you order. i don't get why people are so shocked.

9/2/2010 4:21:34 PM

Thanks for sharing. But don't tell me that I don't know Lilly's or Five Points--that's just bullshit.

Others here know that the pizza's okay but the service sucks and the hipster/yuppie atmosphere is often hard to stomach. They just won't post this because they don't want to be harassed by douchebags and trolls.

[Edited on September 2, 2010 at 4:22 PM. Reason : ^ More total bullshit. ]

9/2/2010 4:22:27 PM

Okay I actually read your post

And I tried really hard to understand the words

Even though, as usual, you have no original commentary to add, because you are a fucking hack

I like the part where you equated "hipsters" with people trying to be "hip"

lololololol

9/2/2010 4:27:32 PM

I don't generally care for the whole hipster scene but there were always plenty of every kinds of people the times I went to Lilly's and I went there a lot since it was a 1/4 mile walk from my g/f at the time's place. My cousin and her husband still go there weekly and they are certainly the furthest thing from that scene.

Also, hooksaw sucks.

[Edited on September 2, 2010 at 4:34 PM. Reason : and how does every effing thread about bars/food/coffe shops turn in to a scene thread??]

9/2/2010 4:33:47 PM

seriously

Lilly's has a pretty fucking diverse clientele

9/2/2010 4:35:37 PM

hooksaw is in his 40's too, so why would any of us care what he thinks about the scene

9/2/2010 4:36:34 PM

Five Points is a pretty diverse area over all. You have old money just down the road north and west of it, young professionals just down the road near Glenwood, "scene" people (whatever scene that is -- doesn't matter) mixed in and even college kids in houses on Oberlin or in apts/condos such as the ones near Broughton.

To say it's a place dominated by hipsters/yuppies (what a weird mix he chose to mention by the way) is flat out wrong and really not based on anything.

9/2/2010 4:38:50 PM

i hear its also dominated by democrats/republicans and women/men

9/2/2010 4:43:00 PM

now i'm hungry for pizza

"People list I Love NY and Slyvia's probably because they associate "Raleigh" as the H'boro area.

I'm still convinced people list I <3 NY for a joke.

Sylvia's genuinely deserves to be on the Best list for so many reasons. Most people that decry it have never eaten there.

9/2/2010 5:44:29 PM

I had an interview near CV and decided to eat on H'Boro St yesterday. Had Sylvia's. It was awful. I remember it being much better. The pizza was pretty much yellow. No sauce at all. Blah...

And it's been like three weeks since I had Piccolo. I'm in withdrawal

Just wanted to post about pizza I had today. It was on LivingSocial and only about 3.5 miles from work so I went to Fuhgeddaboudit Pizza on Six Forks. Very good IMO, and the owner is a big Mets fan.

Will try again.

5/23/2011 9:14:48 PM

I've been to Fuhgeddaboudit Pizza(2 locations) and zPizza(3 triangle locations). Both are great!

5/23/2011 9:19:50 PM

never really liked Z Pizza

nearby, but outside Raleigh city limits i like:

Randy's Pizza (Morrisville)
Village Pizza and Pasta (in South Chapel Hill, owned by Franklin St. Pizza)

5/23/2011 9:29:10 PM

Didn't see this thread.

NY Pizza in Cary
Ruckus
Frank's
Vincent's

Not necessarily in that order
