    My folks were visiting from Ohio and we ended up at Emmy Squared for my dad's 85th birthday. It was our first time at E² which couldn't have been a better choice. Friendly service, cool atmosphere, and the pizza was phenomenal! I had a plant-based, gluten-free pizza (extra $4 for each) that was among the most memorable pizzas I've had. Pictures wouldn't do it justice. My dad went so far as to say it was the best pizza he's ever had - and that's 85 years of pizza eating, y'all! As an unexpected treat, they brought out a huge brownie with ice cream and a candle for my dear ol' dad. A week later I'm still smiling at what a great experience it was, and I can't wait to go back.

    VIP Gluten Free Pizza

    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 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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Gluten free pizza

    The homemade crust on the gluten free pizza was delicious! The staff was also super knowledgeable and helpful regarding allergies.
