    White pizza, overcooked no ricotta

    Got a Grandma pie and white pizza,. The grandma pie says Mozzarella, tomato sauce, fresh basil. there was no basil on mine. The white pizza says Dollops of ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Mine had no ricotta, both were extremely overcooked.Needless to say we dumped both after a couple of pieces. The specs on grandma was basil I sprinkled iron at home. Never again.

    They said "we have a sign on the door saying we raised our prices." A sign on the door?

    It's a lot of food. It's very pricey, but I have a hard time being mad about that when the portions are huge. The "small" salad was enough for two people. Waited around for someone to seat me. It's not the most efficient system. The hostess is also manning the register. Delicious food! No complaints at all. And, as I said, there was so much of it that I couldn't eat it all. But I wanted to. The chocolate cake was mesmerizing. I took it to go because I wanted it to go with milk. The thing that killed me the most was how my final prices were off. When I approached the server concerning the money, she said they shot up the prices over the last few months. And more than once, meaning they didn't go to the trouble of changing the menus. The customer (me) gets a curveball thrown at them. According to her, there's a sign on the door. I don't think that's good enough. While I feel for any business that feels they have to make ends meet, I also feel for me because I'm the guy paying more than the menu advertises. I won't bash them on stars because the server was good and so was the food. But the sign on the door doesn't cut it. A.

    Yeah, so I used to really like this place. I went there this evening with my wife to get some take out pasta. I ordered the Baked Ziti and she ordered the Chicken Alfredo. I asked the lady at the counter if they could add extra bread to our order. I asked because the bread there was always good. In a very rude manner, she responded that, "we only offer bread for in restaurant orders." When I pressed back that we would be willing to pay extra for the bread she snapped back and repeated her same line. By this time I was ready to just walk out, but we went ahead and got the order anyway. While we were waiting I went to the restroom, the door was locked, but after a few minutes an employee came out. When I went in, the bathroom was pretty gross. You would think that an employee would get it cleaned up. Nope. The Ziti was kinda bland, and my wife's Alfredo was decent. There are better Italian restaurants. For the price, this joint doesn't have it anymore. The Ambiance of the place needs some work too.

    Mmmm the   shrimp tacos with pineapple and chorizo and Pico de delicious gallo... Mush have...

    This place is great place for real Italian food but there presentation and portion size could be a lot better! I contacted the restaurant to let them know that my Tiramisu, I recieved looked like someone just through the remains of the Tiramisu into a plastic tack out container. The portion I received was very little compare to what I was charged. The small piece of tiramisu also tasted like it was old. The manage told me they would call me back when they got an answer from the owner of the restaurant. Overall I was disappointed! Sincerely, New resident of Garner, NC!

    The food tasted amazing and the service was outstanding, after trying a bunch of other places that charged around the same price, I'd rather go here. Other places tastes frozen whereas here it was made fresh. Next time I'm gonna have to try their dessert

    10/10 experience as always. Still my go to spot every time I travel to Raleigh for work. I was sad…read moreto see that they adjusted their hours a little and don't open until 1pm due to low foot traffic and slow business for them. The chef was very kind and made us a little extra for lunch- such a great guy! Thank you for always making your food with a lot of love and care. 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.

    Meet some friends at Ponysaurus one night and liked it so much we took family who were visiting…read morefrom out of town a few weeks later. I've also been to the Durham location, check out the review if you want to know more. Panysaurus over all is a very cool place (either location) but they have drastically different vibes - which in my book is a good thing. The Raleigh location has a smaller footprint and doesn't have the same outdoor patio vibe. The dinning area is a bit small but turn around is quick and there is plenty of space to stand and socialize if you're just there for the beer. I really love Ponysaurus beer, their pilsner is nice but their kolsch is my favorite. The Raleigh location menu has lots to choose from, we had a margarita pizza with pepperoni, hummus and wings. I can't recall what was in the hummus but we practically licked the bowl and the wings were a big hit too - note the Durham menu is a bit scaled down but one thing that's consistent with both locations is the amount of pita that came with the hummus. There is nothing worse than getting a huge bowl of hummus and only a few pieces of hummus or chips. Both locations knocked it out of the park - plenty of WARM pita for everyone. Service was great, we did't wait long and the tables were turned over quickly. They use a mobile app for ordering food which makes ordering fast and efficient and the food is delivered to your table - which I must note came out very fast.

    Some things are better than others, but the star if the show is the beer for sure…read more Other drinks all come across a bit on the overly sweet side Wings are really good but overpriced And by far their best pizza is the chicken parm but you have to add the burrata mozz which again takes you away from value for money. I like it there overall but I'm definitely not a fan of the thunder-dome cut throat atmosphere of the "seat yourself" first come first serve...just make a wait list, takes 3 seconds

    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!
