    VIP Gluten Free Pizza
    Laurie G.

    I stopped in Emmy Squared for a Deep dish gluten free pizza and it did not disappoint. I parked in Brightleaf Square and was able to get 2 hours free parking in the restaurant. You scan the QR code and put in your license plate and phone number and then give your phone number in the restaurant and it will validate your parking. It's right across from the restaurant and a simple walk in. I have always ordered the big Hawaiian but I was encouraged to get the VIP and I'm so glad that I did. It is a taste explosion and I highly recommend it if you like a little spice. The crust is thick and unlike another gluten free pizza crust. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy today but I came at 3pm. The waitress was very attentive and great with recommendations that were spot on. I highly recommend you try this out if you are looking for some fun flavor combinations for pizza with amazing crust.

    I got the sixer roni supreme and the cheese sticks and they were amazing! The service was great and the bartender made sure I was enjoying my time there and enjoying my food!

    Delishhh!! I ended up in Raleigh for awhile without a car available so I ordered Emmy's squared pizza on Uber Eats. It came hot, freshly prepared and sooo tasty. I've never had a crust with sesame seeds on it but wow it works. It added simple flavor and crunchiness to an already perfectly baked pizza. I loved the combination of vodka sauce with the parsley pesto and red sauce. I absolutely would order again from Emmys, everything looks so good it was hard to decide what to get. Portion is fair for the pricing and pizza is filling.

    I heard a lot about this place in regards to its pizza, so we were excited to try it. We started with the brussels sprouts salad, which came out super fast. It was tangy with a strong blue cheese flavor but a little too salty. The cranberries were plump and added a nice balance though. That was the highlight of our meal though, because the pizzas were underwhelming. We tried 3 pizzas (the VIP, miranda, and one with honey) in the regular size, which gave us plenty of leftovers. The crust on all of them was much thicker and doughier than I prefer. They use a focaccia-like dough that they put toppings on top, which is their signature style. It just makes for a meal that's 90% bread. Regardless, staff were really nice and very attentive, and there was both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibes of the interior were nice and spacious. I just wouldn't come back for the pizza.

    The Good Paulie Pizza
    Danielle H.

    I love Emmy Squared! I've been a handful of times and it never disappoints. The Detroit style crust is perfectly buttery, chewy, and the cheese makes it deliciously crispy at the edges. You can't beat those corner slices. I usually get the Deluxe Pizza which has red sauce, sausage, mozzarella, mushrooms, and peppers - classic flavors executed just right. I've also had their Big Hawaiian Pizza, and on my most recent visit I tried the Good Paulie pizza. I loved both of these pizzas, but I think the Deluxe is my favorite by just a smidge. The seasonal watermelon burrata salad is phenomenal, bursting with fresh flavors that complement one another. I've always loved the Brightleaf Square area of Durham, and I'm so glad that Emmy Squared chose to set up shop there. The exposed brick interior, tall windows, and open layout make for an inviting atmosphere. When the weather is nice, one could take advantage of their outdoor seating. Service has always been friendly and efficient. Overall this is one of my favorite pizza places in the Triangle.

    I finally made it to Emmy Squared, 905 West Main Street, Durham, after meaning to visit since they opened here over a year ago. I had heard of them. With 28 locations worldwide, how couldn't you. But last night I got to taste it for myself. Our table ordered an MVP, a meat lovers, several pepperoni pies, and one with a kick from chili peppers. Each with that crisp‑edged crust, deep dish, and fulfilling. We also had wings, cheesy bread, and cheese sticks. All spot‑on in flavor. Daven, MaryBeth, and the rest of the crew worked the entire restaurant with energy, warmth, professionalism, and efficiency. Their attention never felt rushed, yet nothing lagged. We'll be back.

    The pizza here is so good!! I get the founders and the combo of the pepperonis, jalapeños and honey is to die for. Service is great, super friendly but sometimes when you walk in you end up waiting at the front for a second before being greeted. I have been on a Tuesday around 4:30 and there was no one there and I've also been on a Sunday at 2p and there was also no one there maybe it's just the days I go I'm not sure why I haven't seen more people. Anyways the pizza is a deep dish style and you could eat a whole sixer by yourself. Outdoor and indoor seating and you can order alcoholic beverages. I love Emmy squared.

    Detroit style deep dish heaven. I've had this pizza before in other cities, but this was the first time in Durham. I love the restaurant location with old-town vibe feels in downtown Durham. The pizza. Phenomenal! Pineapple and bacon was the choice this time. Sweet and savory with a drizzle on top. The outside sitting area was quaint with plenty of shaded options. Definitely passed the vibe check and the pizza was amazing!

    Natasha R.

    This place has such delicious pizza! It is a little bit pricey, but every single pizza we ordered was delicious. The servers were super nice and knowledgeable about their menu, and I definitely would love to come back to this place. There is also validated parking (two hours) for the lot next to the restaurant.

    Another great experience at Emmy Squared Pizza in Durham. The food is terrific and the gluten free crust is amazing. The service is wonderful in the way they treat you and invite you to simply relax and enjoy the experience. Highly recommend!

    Big Ang Pizza
    Andrea A.

    My first time trying Detroit-style pizza! Came here for lunch on a Monday with a friend; service was great & fast, ambiance is very nice (honestly everywhere in Brightleaf Square is so aesthetic). We got the: - Zia Fries (seasoned waffle fries, blanco cheddar queso, scallions, bacon, ranch): This was utter perfection! Wonderfully crunchy, salty, cheesy, savory. My only warning is that the portion is huge & it feels pretty heavy, so you may end up feeling too full for the pizza haha (we definitely did). - Big Ang Pizza (house made vodka sauce, ricotta, double pecorino, Italian sausage, banana peppers): Extremely cheesy, super fluffy dough, and very crunchy crust. I do feel the cheese to sauce ratio was off & it could have used a lot more sauce. Good amount of sausage & banana peppers (which provided a very needed flavor contrast). We got the large pizza, which is huge & provided a lot of leftovers (which were even better tasting in the next few days). 8/10 would recommend!

The scone was very good. I was a bit disappointed with the smoothie, though.

    "Sandwich shop just off University Dr in Durham"…read more Came here for an evening dinner with a friend. We arrived around 5:45pm, and there was ample parking, but I will say the place was HOPPING by the time we left at 6:30pm. The decor is very cute-- old-style, good seating and a bar area as well. You order at the table, and food comes to you. My dining mate got the Cypriot (Halloumi, Fig, Arugula, Tomato, Pesto) with a side of curly fries, and I wasn't very hungry so I got the Beyond Meat Chicken Tenders kids meal with a side salad. I also got a delicious bottled sparkling lemonade. Service was fine-- food comes after order, but you're mostly on your own once food is delivered, as expected. We got a couple of napkins with the food, but there are more self-serve up in the counter. Just don't expect someone to check on you or anything. The food was GREAT. My dining partner loved her sandwich (commented especially on the fig spread) and fries, and I really liked my meal as well. The side salad was surprisingly delicious, especially the addition of pickled red onion. The place was clean-- I went to the restroom, too, and everything was stocked well. Price was very fair. Overall, I'd happily come back. Easy, priced well, delicious. Not a place where you get a lot of "attention", but great for a simple meal.

They make cookies, pastries, breads (pan loaf and hand-formed ones), soups, hand pies, and sandwiches. The variety is amazing. During the holiday season, they offer larger pies and have various seasonal goods to offer. But what's also wonderful is this bakery gives back to the community in many ways. During the height of the pandemic, they offered free bagged lunch to anyone who needed one. They also were (are?) part of the pilot project for Durham's guaranteed income. It looks to me that the owners/company are concerned about being good citizens of the community and that's a great thing. These days, so many companies get bought out by private equity companies. I hope this bakery continues to be locally owned and operated! (Also, generally this bakery isn't offering the very fancy European/European-ish style pastries which is fine by me. The prices are very reasonable, possibly in part because they aren't trying to make their baked goods a "high end" item.
