Ruckus is incredible. Amante's is also quite delicious. I do enjoy the ingredients Lilly's has to offer, too. Plus, their pizza dough is nommy.

7/11/2010 6:21:13 PM

seriously

I've never been there, but I'd go right now if it weren't halfway across town... eh, maybe next time I'm over there.

My favorite pizza place was the pizza joint near five points. The Hawaiian Punch pizza was the shit. Place was run by a bunch of hippies.

7/11/2010 6:30:12 PM

Moonlight and Capital Creations are pretty dope.

7/11/2010 6:30:56 PM

Moonlight's pretty good...but got nothing on Lily's.

7/11/2010 6:32:31 PM

MOONLIGHT'S PRETTY GOOD WHAT?

7/11/2010 6:33:18 PM

^^^^That's Lilly's, which is awesome. Silvia's is great, Ruckus is very good. Can't go wrong with I Heart NY either.

7/11/2010 6:34:46 PM

moonlight is great

and those party dykes who work the bar sling good drinks

i like i heart ny okay, but it's fast and cheap, not GOOD PIZZA

frank's is GOOD PIZZA

7/11/2010 6:35:10 PM

Seriously though, my pizza hierarchy:

For single slices, soups, pasta, and talking to a cool Italian dude named Sylvio:

1. Sylvia's
2. Sylvia's
3. Sylvia's

For whole pizzas:

1. Lily's
2. Moonlight
3. Mellow Mushroom

7/11/2010 6:35:25 PM

^^^You can definitely go ALL SORTS OF WRONG with I <3 NY Pizza.

7/11/2010 6:35:55 PM

agreed, I <3 NY SUCKS. It's cheap, which is the ONLY thing that run down shit hole has going for it.

7/11/2010 6:36:57 PM

evan stole my answer

7/11/2010 6:51:13 PM

lily's for fancy/weird/gourmet or whatever you want to call it.
ruckus for everything else

7/11/2010 6:52:17 PM

I've had Ruckus pizza twice... and it was one of the most okay pizzas I've ever tasted.

7/11/2010 6:53:22 PM

This is pretty much my thread. And the answer is:

Piccolo Italia. Ask for it to be well done to get the perfect slightly charred crust.

7/11/2010 6:53:35 PM

There is this little place called Vic's i think at city market over close to Woody's and they have pretty good pizza.

love lilly's & Ruckus

7/11/2010 6:53:37 PM

vic's is good

but if i'm going there i'm getting chicken parm or something

also, it's close enough to frank's to go there if i wanted pizza

7/11/2010 6:54:43 PM

And asking this to a bunch of North Carolinians is like asking a guido from Brooklyn about Eastern or Western BBQ.

7/11/2010 6:55:15 PM

I've always thought Amore's was the best

7/11/2010 6:55:53 PM

well clearly you have been wrong

[Edited on July 11, 2010 at 6:56 PM. Reason : ]

7/11/2010 6:56:24 PM

^^^yes, because asking about pizza in Raleigh from people from say, in New York, would make just as much sense.

[Edited on July 11, 2010 at 6:56 PM. Reason : ^]

7/11/2010 6:56:37 PM

^^pretty sure they have the best eggplant pizza EVAR

7/11/2010 6:56:46 PM

So only Italians are able to analyze pizza, then?


...And don't even try to mention NY or Boston in here. One of them makes cardboard with toppings and the other makes soup in a bread bowl with cheese on top.

7/11/2010 6:58:22 PM

there isnt any pizza dough here that can beat the worst i had in NY

7/11/2010 6:59:44 PM

vics has pretty good pizza, you are right

though it also sometimes gives you shitty asshole


lily's and moonlight of course are amazing

7/11/2010 7:07:03 PM

^^^

Pfffft. Ignorance must be bliss.

^^

Truth.

7/11/2010 7:08:47 PM

pretty sure they don't let you go into restaurants nekkid

i know i've tried

7/11/2010 7:09:12 PM

Eh, maybe I haven't had anything you'd truly consider NY style, but what I've seen of pizza that claims to be NY style seemed to follow four basic instructions:

1. Get super-thin crust
2. Put a little bit of sauce and cheese on top
3. Now burn the shit out of the bottom of it
4. Now bathe it in grease for a few hours

The result is greasy cardboard with some toppings.


Then again, when I had pizza in NY City itself (which didn't explicitly claim to be NY style), it wasn't very different from the general american style of pizza, aside from being more carefully prepared and generally better.
So maybe it's just the exports that suck huge dick.

No. I wasn't saying that. But Boston isn't really a style of pizza, though. The fact is that 95% of all pizza places in America are knockoffs of either New York/New Haven style or Chicago style...

7/11/2010 7:13:49 PM

^Fuck, oops. Yeah, I meant Chigago deep dish. Don't know why Boston got in my head.

7/11/2010 7:14:27 PM

So you're saying you haven't even had pizza in NY to base your opinion on?

It's not the pizza being in NY that makes it good. It's not a North/South/East/West thing. It's that there are a lot of places in NY that do know how to make great pizza, partially stemming from the fact that they've been doing it there longer than anyone else. There are also more mediocre places than any place on earth.

Now the whole Chicago/NY style thing is a sheer preferential argument. I like both styles if done properly, but I'm still partial to NY style.
