    Homemade crust, clean dining room, fresh ingredients and friendly service at a local, minority-owned pizza place. What more could you want? When we walked in just after noon on a recent Saturday, we were the only customers, and our very-hot pizzas came out quickly. My margherita was perfect--fresh mozzarella and lots of basil on a slightly-charred crust. There were even some chunks of roasted tomato in the sauce. My friend liked his chicken curry pizza, too. They have lots of options, including some international ones, or you can build your own. You can also choose a salad or pasta, but we went with the pizzas, of course!

    10" Meat Lovers
    Katie T.

    Venture Pizza is your average pizza spot. They have 10" and then a larger size that a family could probably do. The employee was nice and greeted us upon walking in. It took a few minutes to decide what I wanted but chose the 10" meat lovers (which I had no problem finishing on my own because it was thin crust). It wasn't soggy or too dried out, and had decent flavor. They also have salads and pasta dishes. A friend and I got our lunches to go and went to House of Hops since it was a nice day.

    I like this strip of businesses because we stopped in for a beer at House of Hops before heading over to dinner at Venture Pizza. The wine and beer are self pour so you get a card to pour then pay afterwards. I tried a few different pours of wines in different sizes then my husband and I split the simple side salad, great smoky pizza and wolfpack pizza. All of the food was really good but we really liked the chianti wine pour and wolfpack pizza. If you are in the area, check this spot out.

    10" Margherita
    John K.

    Well it's okay at best. It's along the lines of MOD Pizza. This is not the place to go if you want amazing flavorful pizza. If you are in a hurry and want pizza this will work. I have to give props though as they did do a great job on the crust as far as slight char goes, which is what I asked for. The Sauce they use for the Margarita is plain boring. I saw one review that indicated that this pizza is more of find a frozen pizza at the store and cook it in the oven. I honestly don't know how anyone can rate this pizza as a 5 star place. Now I only rate margarita style pizza. The did have some interesting other choices. That may be worth it but this Margarita Pizza was bland and flavorless. Venture some place else for Margarita Style pizza.

    Venture Is a fast casual spot - perfect for a quick bite as opposed to a romantic Italian dinner Menu: Everything is made fresh in front of you and can be customized! I thought the ingredients were super fresh. They offer pizza, pasta, salads and a GORGEOUS gelato selection. The White Shroom pizza was my fave Seating: Indoor and outdoor seating available Staff: It's minority-owned and the owners are so kind and welcoming! Parking: There's lots of stores nearby and a convenient parking lot right in front of the shop

    The Wolfpack pizza
    Maddi S.

    I came here with a group and really enjoyed it! The Chipotle Chicken pizza is delicious!! We also got the Gyro pizza and the Wolfpack (essentially a meat lovers). On the side we also got both types of cheesy breadsticks (regular and garlic), an order of meatballs, and a couple of side salads. The gyro pizza was good, though the meat wasn't super flavorful - the onions and feta were (delicious and) most prominent. The Wolfpack wasn't anything crazy but was a great meat lovers. The crust was a great texture -- I would classify it as "hand tossed" since it's not thick but also not thin. The pizzas were freshly made and came out quickly. The breadsticks were delicious and also fresh, though I wish we got more marinara with them. Unfortunately they were out of the garlic knots. I probably wouldn't get the meatballs again. They weren't bad, but they seemed super basic and potentially not homemade? Unsure. As for drinks, they have bottled wine and beer, soda, and even kids drinks. Unfortunately the beer on tap was not in service when we were there. I tried to sign up for their rewards multiple ways and it didn't work... not a big deal but a bummer. The prices may seem a little high, but you get a good amount of food and it's good quality. So I think it's definitely worth it. I'll for sure be back.

    I came here because I had a Facebook offer for a but one get on free pizza 10" or 14". I got the Buffalo chicken and my mom got the veggie pizza. Place was empty so it was quick and easy to order. Pizza came out pretty quick too like 3 minutes . I like the Buffalo pizza just only wish the sauce was baked on it instead of drizzled on it after the pizza was out. Other than that cool little spot in Raleigh .

    A dirty restaurant table

    This isn't like a real pizzeria. It's what someone with a marketing degree imagines a pizzeria should be. I'm here at noon on a Saturday. The tables are unwiped and dirty from last night. There is a level of filth. The self serve beer & soda stations look the same. Also: cultural appropriation. "Fuggedaboudit" is our word. I just paid $18 for a 14" pizza....

    Impeccably clean new pizza/wings/pasta/salad/gelato place in the busy restaurant row on a hill overlooking Falls of Neuse Rd. A decidedly Southeast Asian spin on Mediterranean classics with inventive flavors for the adventurous. Outstanding service. Large indoor space, beautiful shared patio, plenty of parking. Beer and wine, the magic words.

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.

Anyway - Pizzas are consistently good, come out quick, and new pizza toppings/flavors pop up every once in a while. I especially love their Wednesday night dinner specials - sometimes I'm not as much in the mood for pizza but they do things like chicken parm and pasta just as good. Service is like a mix of waitstaff and self serve but whenever we interact with anyone working there they're always super friendly and helpful. Like I said, just love this spot!

The chicken was perfectly crispy, thin, and juicy, while the fresh arugula salad added just the right peppery bite. The roasted fingerling potatoes were seasoned perfectly and rounded out a simple dish executed exceptionally well. Ponysaurus Brewing Co. serves the schnitzel with arugula, fried red potatoes, celery, red onion, parsley, and a whole-grain dressing, and it all comes together beautifully. Of course, the craft beer selection is what gets you in the door, but don't overlook the kitchen. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service was friendly, and the food easily holds its own against many restaurants in Raleigh.

Also the jalapeño fries are awesome and the jalapeño poppers are big-back tremendous. My ex-husband also loved their calzones. Do what you want with that added information. My mother who is extremely critical about everything in life, including oxygen, thoroughly enjoys their eggplant parm. I see everyone complains about the parking. Just park in the back near Planet Fitness. That's what I do. Also, they make everything to order. Don't wait until the last minute or walk in there running late.

"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!
