    Burnt crust on the corners couldn't even be eaten.

    Super disappointed tonight ... placed an order at 3 pm to have it delivered at 5 pm because we needed to eat at 5 pm. At 445, i check the app which says it will arrive at 530 . But then it changes to 6 pm .. then to 610 pm!! When i call i am told Slice now uses Uber and I should call so they can deliver it vs Uber. Uber driver tells me she waited till almost 530 pm for the order to be ready. My receipt on the pizza clearly says 5 pm. It arrives luke warm of course and 1 was overcooked! No apology or offer other than to blame it on the Slice app and Uber. Customer service was very bad when it arrives 90 mins late!

    After the Johnny's Pizza event in Cary, I decided it was time to visit the Wake Forest location. It is located in the Harris Teeter Shopping Center off of Capital Blvd. The menu is large and offers wings; pizzas; pastas; salads; subs and more. I went with the New York White. It has an olive oil and garlic base and topped with mozzarella and ricotta cheese. The slices are large with a generous amount of toppings. I ordered it to go and it was ready pretty quick and still piping hot by the time I got home with it. Service was friendly and I will be back to try more of the pizzas and other menu items.

Shannon was humorous, kind and explained the menu very thoroughly so that we understood. In addition, he asked us what brought us to Amalia's and catered to our occasion. While we were in town for a wedding, we also were celebrating some home wins as well which Shannon took note of and gave us complimentary drinks at the end of our evening which was so kind. We started our evening off with some NA mocktails made in house which resembled a mojito. There were fresh strawberries and a lime wedge on top of the cup. I appreciated that this drink wasn't overly sugary and was the perfect blend of refreshing we needed especially after a flight. From there, we got complimentary house bread which was outstanding as it contained oil and onions baked in. Delicious! Shannon explained the menu was tapas style or small plate. We lead with the zucchini appetizer which had pistachios on top and were given suggestions on how to eat it. We went with the sushi method and ended up rolling the thinly sliced zucchini with a fork and it was perfect!! A very fun experience and such a unique menu option. For our main dishes, my husband has the steak and mashed potato special while I had the truffle cavatelli with sausage. Both items were out of this word and the perfect portion size. Shannon knew we loved the bread and brought us more to our table even though I'm fairly certain that is supposed to be for the beginning of the coursing. While our bellies were too stuffed for dessert right then and there, we did get cannolis to go and they are currently up in our fridge. We look forward to trying! We were able to see the other patrons order dinner in house and the entire layout is a production. If you have the chance and room for dessert, I highly recommend because the staff prepares it for you at your table. In addition, there are lovely coffee pairings with each dessert as an option as well. **Note: Amalia's does not carry red sauce. Many of the pastas are white sauce by design. This was not a deal breaker for us but it might be for someone else. Thank you, Amalia's! You were exactly the Italian cuisine we craved!

This place is one of the absolute best places in the state to get authentic Italian food and their yelp rating makes no sense. People are so quick to leave bad reviews, but will leave a restaurant satisfied and won't leave a good review. This is one of those spots where you'll visit and you'll never forget it. Their pizzas are flawless. Their pastas are incredible. Everything we've ever had is downright amazing. The staff and the service is incredible. It's locally owned by a small family and they're always there busting their butts off to make amazing food for this community. This spot is a must try! Highly recommended!

He was hard working, always gave refills, and was kind. He was definitely the highlight of our visit. The ambiance is that of an old-school pizza parlor from the 90s, but it didn't feel nostalgic, it felt boring. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. I ordered the Milton's Special pizza and it was fine. Nothing to rave about but nothing to want to come back to, either. My friend ordered a pizza as well. It's nice that they have GF options. She wasn't too impressed with her choice, either. It tasted like it could have come from the freezer at the grocery store, it was very generic in flavor. The service was really the best part of our entire meal. 10/10 service, 4/10 food

Our server, Nino, came to our table within minutes of our seating. We weren't sure which red wine selection we are going to go with. He recommended a medium priced bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. That was just what the doctor ordered. We started with the Burrata on Nino's recommendation also as we were looking to not fill up on a big appetizer and it was amazing, so fresh. I had the 10 ounce fillet and my wife had a 6 ounce fillet both ordered medium rare and both delivered cooked perfectly. For sides we did the roasted garlic potato purée, steakhouse mac & cheese, and the roasted wild mushroom. All of the sides were excellent and good portions. We ended up bringing home half of the mushrooms and 3/4 of the steakhouse mac & cheese. We were seated on the main floor at a four top, I love the seating arrangement as there's plenty of room you're not bumping into each other at different tables. The ambience is very nice. It's well lit but not so bright that it's not an intimate dining experience.

When the weather cooperates, the outside patio is a lovely spot to enjoy a meal. As for the food, the steaks are excellent and we haven't had a single bad experience yet. My wife is also a huge fan of the chopped Caesar salad. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time and enjoy!
