    Two slices
    Rebecca M.

    I stopped for lunch at Johnny's Pizza in Cary. I don't think I have been to that location since the Yelp Event here a few years back as I live closer to another location. The restaurant is in the Harris Teeter shopping center so has plenty of parking. The high ceilings are what you first notice when walking inside. Seating is available downstairs, upstairs or outside on the patio. I was greeted when I walked in and given some time to order at the counter. I knew the Wake Forest location had a lunch special so that is what I ordered. What I forgot was how big the slices were. It was a good deal for all the food and enough to take one of the slices to go. I do prefer the normal-sized slices as they are easier to eat but these were very good. The menu has a lot of pizza options, wings, pastas and salads. So there is something that should please everyone.

    My wife and I came her for a Yelp event last year and we're absolutely blown away by the friendliness of the owners and staff. After trying their food, we knew we had to come back. I'm not usually a fan of local pizza places. I always find them too greasy and without much flavor, but not Johnny's Pizza. I've tried maybe 5 or 6 different pizzas at this point and they've all tasted fresh and delicious. The interior restaurant is roomy so you aren't bumping into tables or other customers if it gets busy, and they're super quick with an order. The prices may seem a little steep at first glance, but I can assure you these sizes are huge. A medium pizza here is easily a large at any other pizzeria.

    It's been a while since I have been back to Johnnys in Cary. The Brooklyn white pizza is everything and more. It's worth every penny. We also got a free order of knots just for checking in on this Yelp app! But the person taking my order ended up charging me for the knots as I had a $10.00 gift certificate from my prior Yelp event here and she said I could not use both after she charged me. The Yelp coupon did not specify that. But more than that, my friend that I was with had the exact same gift certificate and Yelp free knot order and they honored both. So she didn't pay but I did. I ordered a side salad and was disappointed in the salad for $7.00. The salad was not fresh and the salad just had tomato and cucumbers and onions. The cheese was extra. The dressing was the house blend which I liked. I don't care for big chunks of lettuce and especially if it's the rough parts of lettuce. And sadly we were here for hours chatting and no one ever asked us if we needed anything or checked on us.

    Massive slice!

    I thought they were closed during lunchtime as there were no cars parked in front and the windows are tinted so dark I couldn't see inside. I was just going to drive by, but decided to go take a look. Their "open" sign is so far up on the building you have to be a giant to see it! I got a slice and forgot how massive they are!! Should have asked for it to be cut in half cos it's too much to handle. I asked for it to be cooked well done and it was perfect. The only drawback I saw was I passed by at least five tabletops that were dirty when I looked for somewhere to sit. It was surprising cos there was noone there when I arrived and they barely had any customers as I sat and ate. Even more so, the owner didn't even notice it. The young guy at the register was pleasant enough when I mentioned it as I was leaving, but who knows if they got cleaned off or when.

    Johnny's is easily now my favorite pizza in Raleigh. As a native New Yorker, I know pizza. Johnny's manages to deliver a crispy thin NY crust, light on the oil, a perfect cheese pull, a sauce that lacks high acidity and they are heavy handed on the toppings for the value. The service here is excellent and I will continue to visit for pies and wings. They have a plethora of flavorful wing sauces. Honey mustard being my favorite. I dined yesterday for the 2nd time with my family. There is plenty of indoor booth seating and outdoor patio tables. We decided on the meat lover's pie and Buffalo wings. The Duke game was on the big screens so we enjoyed that. The young man at the register was very kind and delivered our food to our table rather quickly. Our pie was hot and packed with all the meat you can dream of. Sausage, pepperoni, ham, bacon... you name it ! The slices at Johnny's are as big as your head. The pizza is totally worth the 20 minute ride to this side of Cary. Add Johnny's to your bucket list while in the area.

    Alrighty guys listen up. I went to Johnny's pizza yesterday. This pizza was spot on. Everything I needed and more. I got a slice of pepperoni and it was to die for. I even ate the crust, which was a perfect texture. I'm a classic New York Italian girl, and boy they didn't disappoint. I will be coming here again and again. The pic attached is my friends plate. I think you can tell she liked it . I am personally not a wing person but I only heard good things about them. I didn't get a close up picture of the menu but they have so many options. I saw someone walking by with garlic knots and I was jealous. I was yearning. I was pining for those knots. I will be back for them. Anyway, moral of the story is that this is a great place. You can watch the game on one of their many tvs and get great service all the while. If you want a slice of home, come to Johnny's. You might even meet the man himself (I did, and he was awesome!).

    I was invited to attend a Yelp Elite event as a plus one of Yelp Elite member. The event included samples of numerous menu items, Yelp inspired goodies, a sparkling wine (Rose Water) sample, a cornhole competition and a raffle. The owner of Johnny's Pizza was on hand to mingle with the Yelp Elite members and their guests. I especially enjoyed hearing Johnny speak about how his businesses assist with the needs of the local communities. Personally, I believe in supporting local business that appreciate their customers and are involved in their local areas. I also appreciated seeing that Johnny is a fellow Philadelphia Eagles fan. Fly Eagles Fly! The environment of restaurant was inviting and full of positive personalities. I enjoyed learning about the Yelp Elite experience and plan to become more active on the platform due to my experience at Johnny's Pizza.

    Chicken Parmigiana Pasta I preferred fettuccine alfredo with it.

    For the past two weeks, I've been daydreaming about what I plan to order. As you can imagine, I built up an exciting anticipation. I placed a call in order. I ordered Chicken Parmigiana. It was windy, and leaves and debris were all over the floor from the door opening and closing. The staff was pleasant. I was disappointed on this visit. For me, the hand-breaded chicken and marinara sauce is the driver. The pasta is just an added indulgence that pairs so well. I preferred fettuccine pasta with Alfredo sauce. It's something about the marinara and the Alfredo sauce that's oh-so comforting. Johnny's Pizza did not deliver on this entree or cure the craving. The quality of the chicken was poor. Very thin, dry, and overcooked. Reminded me of Tyson processed rib meat. The breading was super dark, and the breading had come off in the pasta. I consumed half of a breast and couldn't eat anymore. I removed the chicken pieces from the dish to discover why it didn't seem right. The coating was flavorful, as well as the pasta. I just had pasta. I could not eat the chicken. Justifiable three star- the staff pleasantries were good. All the flavors in this dish were perfect. The chicken was off. Seem to have been either sitting in sauce for a while or over-fried. I'm not sure.

    We recently had our Yelp Elite Members get-together at this restaurant and there couldn't have been a better choice to hold it! First of all huge kudos to the owner of this fine pizza and all things Italian American joint - Johnny P who warmly welcomed us to the place and along with our hard-working community manager Josh! And from there we sampled awesomely crafted wings and pizza. By the way, did I say that apart from how delicious their pizza is, is how huge the slices are? These are NYC size slices and not just the traditional pepperoni, but also old school classics like the Margherita. I've never had an amazingly hearty Margherita the size of my face! The food here is so good that after the affair i ordered a large half meat lovers/Hawaiian pizza to go. I've never had a pizza box as big as this... wow! So I'm finally home and come dinnertime I helped myself to two slices and re-heated them in my oven For me the best way to see if the pizza is made well is if a few hours later it tastes just as good as the time it came out of the oven the first time. Drumroll please... Oh my goodness, it still does! Normally there's some leveling off of taste after the pizza gets a little older. These did not falter at all. Which goes that the owner didn't skimp on ingredients. Its prepared with respect to the craft. And I truly admire that. Which is why I don't mind driving 17 miles just to have the pleasure of sampling the fare again. Please patronize and support this place! You won't regret it!

    I attended an event at Johnny's Pizza in Cary, NC today. I had not eaten at Johnny's Pizza before, so I was eager to try their food. Johnny's Pizza restaurant has a warm and welcoming vibe that makes you feel like family. The space within the restaurant is utilized well. It is not cramped nor too spaced out. It is just right. The staff greeted me with a smile, was professional, and welcoming. I like pizza but it is not typically my go to food item because of the overly greasiness. Johnny's pizza was not very greasy at all. I was highly impressed by that. The dough was sufficiently thin, slices were large, and the flavor was fantastic. I don't eat pork or beef, so I had the cheese pizza. The flavor of the cheese pizza tasted original. After taking my first bite, I felt like I literally had a custom made pizza as it was not a familiar cheese pizza flavor/taste as from other pizza restaurants. I also had the opportunity to try two flavors of their wings. They were both great! One tasted like honey barbecue, and the other more like a garlic Parmesan flavor. What I enjoyed most about these wings is that they were cooked properly. I prefer my wings to be adequately cooked and not soggy inside. These were done perfectly! Another highlight of today's event, besides the camaraderie, the ambience, and the food, was that I got to meet Johnny, the owner, in person. Johnny was very personable and approachable. He was friendly and down to earth which I appreciated. He has a wonderful personality, and seemed very genuine. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit at Johnny's Pizza. I will definitely visit again.

Took them almost half an hour to prepare my gyro, after they said it would take 10-15 minutes.

    Hands down my favorite coffee house…read more As someone who cares not only about ambiance, but also the quality of service & of course coffee & treats, Simmer hits the mark everytime. A great spot to work from or grab a coffee with a friend with cozy corners & a friendly atmosphere. Also can we take a moment for the Ube cloud?? Never had Ube before, & was used to Matcha tasting like grass- 1000% recommend stopping in for this alone to try something new (especially with the Spring weather rolling in)!

    Bottom line: Simmer Coffee House served up a tasty morning meal in avocado and smoked salmon toast…read morewith latte. Nice atmosphere and very welcoming helpful service encountered. Do note eggs are only hard boiled on the toasts here. The Deets: Going out of my normal weekend routine, I decided to venture out to Simmer Coffee House located at Amberly Place in Cary. I had seen this one pop up on my Yelp feed so naturally I was curious. I got there fairly early, right after opening, but it started filling up fairly fast so appears to be a popular stop. The shop itself is nicely appointed, clean, bright, and welcoming with plenty of inside and outside seating. They offer a nice variety of items on their menu some of which include coffee beverages, matcha, ube, "build your own toast" items, even ice cream/sorbet. Service/staff was very welcoming and helpful when I approached to order at the counter. Loved that they used my name not only to place on my order but addressed me by name when the order was delivered, I like personal style service. I went with a hot skim latte and a toasted with avocado/smoked salmon. I wanted scrambled egg on my toast as well but they do not make eggs any other way than hard boiled here (I am not a fan of hard boiled eggs, a me-thing). I know of a few coffeehouses that serve eggs hard boiled only, this shop is one of them. When my order was delivered in good time, I enjoyed my day-starting meal. The latte was served in a nice mug since staying in house and tasted great. My toast with avocado and smoked salmon was equally good as well. Overall a nice visit to Simmer Coffee House and I would consider it more 4.5 stars all things considered.
