Oakwood Pizza Box is proof that you don't need a complicated menu to make great food. They keep…read morethings simple by offering three base options: cheese, square, and white pizza. From there, you can build your pizza exactly the way you want it. The ingredients were fresh, the crust was delicious, and the entire experience was straightforward and enjoyable. One of the best things about this place is that there aren't a million options to sort through. You pick your base, add your toppings, and enjoy. Also, don't overlook the Caesar salad. The crisp wedges of lettuce, generous amount of shredded cheese, crunchy croutons, and flavorful dressing make it the perfect companion to your pizza. If you're looking for a laid-back spot with great pizza and an uncomplicated approach to good food, Oakwood Pizza Box is definitely worth a visit.

If you can't find parking on Person street I recommended parking on a side street and walking. Walking in the pizza shop has a cool, laid back, neighborhood vibe. To be seated you'll want to ask for an open table from the staff. Once seated we ordered a pitcher of Narragansett Pilsner and a small Caesar Salad (housemade dressing, lemon garlic breadcrumb, pecorino). The pils was excellent and wanted to order a little extra beer since it was the weekend. The Caesar was excellent and the portion was plenty of food for two people. For pizza we ordered a pizza with half sausage and half pepperoni. The pizza was huge and we definitely had to take 3/4s of it to go. The pizza itself was good and was a little heavier than I was expecting. If you are in the person street area and looking for pizza, I definitely would check out the Oakwood Pizza box.

The rigatoni alla vodka is still to die for and I haven't found another place that comes close to it in Raleigh or Charlotte. Encourage everyone to support this local, small business!!! The food is awesome here!!! They also have more budget friendly lunch options too- just give them a call.

The restaurant is nice and dimly lit with plenty of seating, but you will have to find street parking around Glenwood. We were a party of 6 and they pulled together tables to accommodate us. Our server was a little slow but still friendly. For starters we got a Margherita pizza, calamari, the grilled caesar, and they brought us a complimentary bread basket with oil. Everything except the caesar was good. I guess we didn't expect the caesar to taste THAT charred and the lettuce to not be chopped. For main entrees, we ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli, penne alla vodka, and alfredo. The vodka pasta and lasagna were unflavored and disliked among the table. I would not recommend those dishes. The alfredo was okay. The best dish was the lobster ravioli.

The less then stellar: the place smelled like it had been washed with a dirty mop. Having worked in food service before, I know this smell and it was incredibly off putting. My friend and I shared the nachos with short rib and I think they forgot to put on the short rib because it didn't seem to be there. The nachos themselves felt cold and congealed and seemed like they'd been sitting around for a long time (and they came out super quick). We also each got a side of watermelon, which was tasty but felt a little small for the price, and stingy with the fresh mint. The ambiance was beautiful but I probably wouldn't rush back to this location based on the smell and the food.

Anyway - Pizzas are consistently good, come out quick, and new pizza toppings/flavors pop up every once in a while. I especially love their Wednesday night dinner specials - sometimes I'm not as much in the mood for pizza but they do things like chicken parm and pasta just as good. Service is like a mix of waitstaff and self serve but whenever we interact with anyone working there they're always super friendly and helpful. Like I said, just love this spot!

The chicken was perfectly crispy, thin, and juicy, while the fresh arugula salad added just the right peppery bite. The roasted fingerling potatoes were seasoned perfectly and rounded out a simple dish executed exceptionally well. Ponysaurus Brewing Co. serves the schnitzel with arugula, fried red potatoes, celery, red onion, parsley, and a whole-grain dressing, and it all comes together beautifully. Of course, the craft beer selection is what gets you in the door, but don't overlook the kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service was friendly, and the food easily holds its own against many restaurants in Raleigh.

Trophy's has about five sauces and about 5 cheeses you can select. I went with the spicy red and mozzarella. My only complaint--the pizza wasn't big enough. A great, great pizza!! The staff couldn't have been nicer! They were sincere in their questions, attentive without hovering, friendly and nice. I saw none of them on their phones. The place is a typical brewery and pizza joint. Warm and industrial feel. I had a couple Brilliant's (that's the name of the beer) and it was tasty. The taper heads were old top from trophies, which took me back to my grade school bowling days -- the place is called Trophy, get it? 5 stars all around for Trophy!

Once upon a time, this place wasn't just a pizza restaurant--it was a pilgrimage site. People…read morewhispered about its crust like it was sacred text, and its awards lined the walls like a shrine to melted cheese and triumph. "Best Pizza" many years running back when that actually meant something. Now? It feels less like a restaurant and more like a nostalgic reenactment gone very wrong. The menu still reads like a dream--Carolina crust this, atomic sauce that--but ordering has become a real exercise in imagination. Half the ingredients are apparently on a spiritual journey and no longer physically present. You'll ask for sharp cheddar and get a thoughtful pause, followed by, "We don't have sharp cheddar, we might have a Wisconsin sharp cheddar?" --which, to their credit, has the word "cheddar" in it. The staff move with the energy of a group project that everyone forgot was due today. Pizzas emerge... interpretively. You might order a margherita and receive something that captures its essence, emotionally, if not structurally. It's less "wrong order" and more "pizza as a suggestion." A master of creative problem-solving, this cashier has boldly redefined the concept of "making change." Why fumble with buttons and math when you can simply hand over two beers and call it even? It's less of a transaction and more of a surprise gift exchange--one where the rules are unclear and the outcome is mildly concerning. And the wine list--oh, the wine list--is a beautiful historical document. A relic. A time capsule from at least six months ago, when bottles still existed and hope flowed freely. Now, asking for wine feels like asking about a long-lost friend. "We don't have that," they'll say, gazing into the middle distance. Still, there's something oddly annoying about it all. Like walking into a once-revered theater that still clings to its golden-age reputation. The performances feel like echoes rather than art, the lighting flat where it once dazzled, and every scene drags with the weight of trying to live up to a forgotten past. It's not bad enough to be a disaster--just disappointing enough to make you wonder if the hype was ever real or if you're just eating the ghost of someone else's great experience. Cheers!
