The restaurant sits on Franklin Street, right in the heart of Chapel Hill near UNC. It's a lively, walkable area filled with shops and restaurants. Parking can be a little tricky--we circled a few blocks before finding a gravel lot nearby (free after 6 p.m. and all day Sunday). Inside, the place had an old-school, authentic feel. The staff spoke Italian, which added to the vibe, and the red curved booths reminded me of classic pizza joints from my childhood. The menu is posted on the wall behind the counter, and you order before sitting down. We also noticed their most recent health score was a 99, which was reassuring. My wife ordered the chef's salad, and I went with the meat stromboli. Her salad was fresh, colorful, and much better than the iceberg lettuce you often get. She enjoyed it so much that she finished before my stromboli was ready. When mine came out, it was served on a pizza pan with a side of sauce--it looked and tasted great. It was also clear they do a strong takeout business, with lots of people picking up orders and the phone constantly ringing. Overall, the food was solid, the atmosphere memorable, and it felt like a local institution that's earned its recognition. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Chapel Hill.

What a gem! I…read morefound this restaurant through Yelp and decided to check it out and was truly impressed. I walked in and was greeted immediately. The place was busy and had Italian music playing in the background. It has tables and booths to the side with the main counter at front and you can smell the food as soon as you walk in. It immediately makes you hungry. We were seated at a booth and offered their free focaccia style bread with an olive oil accompaniment, which was delish. The bread was hot and crunchy, but not too much where you could still dip it in the olive oil. We then ordered a personal cheese pizza, the lasagna and the chicken parmigiana (which I didn't photograph). Everything was delicious! Our waitress was very friendly and funny. I would def recommend coming here and checking it out.

They changed the complimentary bread to something that was unrecognizable compared to what they had before and it tasted awful. I ordered my standard baked ziti which was too soupy, the ziti was overcooked and there was barely any mozzarella cheese on top, not to mention the portion seemed smaller than past luncheons. My husband had the chicken piccata that was bland and tasteless. We might give it one more try and if it fails again, well......

They made several mistakes with my takeout order at a slow time of day. I find it suspicious since both of the mistakes were in their favor. 1) Ordered 3 pies, and they charged me for 4. As a customer, be sure to slow down and check the screen before you pay. They were definitely counting on me rushing through the order screen to tap my card. 2) Ordered 2 sides, they gave me 1. It was packaged up tight, so unless I slowed down to actually open the bag and check, I would not have seen they shortchanged me. They were counting on me being in a hurry to leave with the takeout and not checking. This was patently obvious once I came back to ask for the missing 2nd order. They hadn't even prepared it and didn't acknowledge their mistake. They really thought they were being sneaky. And frankly, that is the most insulting part!!

Pops is mostly known for the pizza but they have a large menu with various American and Mediterranean dishes. We have never had anything that we didn't like but some of our favorites are the grilled chicken salad, garlic knots, spinach calzone, eggplant parmigiana, and of course, the pizza. They sell pizza by-the-slice as well as whole pies made to order. The pizza is noticeably better than the mass produced pizzas from the big chain restaurants. The restaurant is very casual. You place your order at the counter and they call you when it is ready. There is indoor and outdoor seating available and they also offer carryout. The drinks are self-serve and are mostly Pepsi brands but they also have Cheerwine, iced tea, and some other choices. You will be pleasantly surprised by the prices. The food rivals what you would get from a more upscale Italian restaurant but the prices are about 40% less. read more

Pop's Pizzeria has some of the very best flavor combinations whipped up by talented and creative chef Mike. The pizza slices are very generous and tasty. The freshest ingredients and dressings make their salads absolutely the best (and indulge in a couple of garlic knots to go with them!). Sometimes it's difficult to choose what to get because it's all terrific, including the pasta dishes and gyros. The staff has always been friendly and courteous. Definitely worth the drive. read more

Despite being in one of those little restaurants next to a grocery store, the cozy inside does pretty accurately resemble a nice little pizza place somewhere in the Northeast. I particularly like the touch of having wooden booths. It's a little odd to have the whole food prep area blocked from view, but there's still a pleasant atmosphere for dining. The food is somewhat more distant from its roots in, apparently, the Northeast. Although all dishes that I saw maintained their correct shape (circles, half-moons, and so on), the dough was tragically dense, rubbery, sour, and appeared to be largely unsuccessful in its attempts to rise -- which severely constricted the potential quality of any of the dough-centric menu items, of which there were quite a lot. The sauce was okay -- a little bland, but that's not really a problem for me. The cheese didn't taste very good; it may not have been of the caliber needed to equal (in taste) the quality (in comfort) of the booths. That said, there are plenty of options for the non-purists who won't have impossibly high standards for pizza (people not from the Northeast, that is) -- there are (in whole pie form, as there are no slices for sale) Hawaiian pizzas, BBQ pizzas, buffalo chicken pizzas, and wings, all of which are probably fine.
