    Sausage Sicilian with NY Style Pepperoni
    Lori R.

    If I were to stumble upon this restaurant in NYC, I would probably see a long line of folks who had been appreciating their quality of food for years. Instead we can experience this level of quality right here in North Raleigh in a strip mall by Aldi's and Total Wine on Capital Blvd. An area previously starved for great pizza. The two of us tried it out on this Friday after work. Previous reviews had mentioned the friendliness of the place and we couldn't agree more. This is a proud family who invites you in and welcomes you with an awesome variety of items to choose from. Pizza by the slice...NY style or Sicilian...whatever toppings you want... whole pizzas, calzones, pastas, sandwiches, Mediterranean fare...there's a wide selection. We kept it simple with two slices each. I chose two Sicilian Grandma's style, while Husband had one Sicilian and a NY style pepperoni. Order at the counter. Get your own beverage. Beverage choices are minimal. Soft drinks or water. Would love a tea option. Prices are very inexpensive, especially for the quality and quantity. Our four pieces plus two soft drinks with tip were just $25. Note they are currently having a five dollar off $25 grand opening special. Not sure how long that lasts. Let me tell you this is some amazing pizza. Rich. Full of flavor. The Sicilian was so different from the NY Style. I've had plenty of Grandma's pizzas before but this was different. The sauce was magnificent. And I loved the addition of rosemary. Added pepperoni to one slice and sausage to another and both were so rich that I could only eat half of each. Looking forward to leftovers. Not a fancy location, but rich in flavor and friendliness. This is the kind of place you crave and want to come back for more.

    Chicken shwarma platter
    Amber C.

    Craving satisfied! I stopped by this place for lunch today when I noticed that the previous restaurant (that I loved)was no longer there. I had really been craving some chicken shwarma and grape leaves. The food was absolutely delicious! I was not disappointed at all! The portion sizes are huge and well worth the price! I couldn't finish everything and had plenty left over to eat for dinner. I ordered online and my food was ready at the time they said it would be. The staff were pleasant and friendly. Everything was hot and fresh. I had the chicken shwarma platter and grape leaves as I said I had been craving! The decor was beautiful! I will definitely be back! I've heard great things about their pizza as well so I'll definitely be trying that soon.

    Medium NY style pepperoni pizza
    Darrin K.

    I recommend trying this place. Their pizza is good and that is coming from someone who thinks pizza in raleigh is generally garbage. I ordered a medium pepperoni pizza ny style. It was bigger than expected, more like a large. Fair prices. The lady that worked the counter was super nice. It was to go and she asked me if I wanted Parmesan or plates, which is a nice change from most places not caring. 5 stars for service.

    Lunch special
    Tamara W.

    I like the pizza by the slice better than the pizza in the lunch combo. I got the lunch special with wings,two slices and a soda for around $13. Very good pizza.

    Best NYC style pizza I have had in some time. Generous toppings. Nice dining area. Nice people too!

    The owners warm and welcoming, extremely attentive.
    Julie D.

    Today I stumbled upon this gem. Immediately as I walked in I was greeted by the owners, they were warm and attentive. Since I usually shop at Aldi's which is right next to it, I decided to give it a try and I am so glad that I did. I ordered one of their Monday-Thursdays lunch special which was 2 slices of pizza with a drink. Once I sat down and took the first bite of the slice of cheese pizza, I was hooked. The crust was thin, airy, not dry at all. And was well complimented by the savory sauce and generous cheese. What I liked the most was the freshness of the pizza and the service. I would absolutely recommend this place, as they also have an expansive menu including hot and cold sandwiches, pasta, and desserts to name a few. There's also plenty of seating for those who choose to dine in like I did.

    12inch pepperoni and bacon pizza
    Raquel B.

    The owner is great. He is friendly and very accommodating. I believe the young lady working there was a relative of his. She came in and immediately started to help him with my order. They didn't even have to speak to each other and they were working side by side like a well oiled machine. I mention that because I appreciated the additional attention to my order as I was heading back to work after I got my food. To summarize: Kind folks, clean restaurant, speedy service, and now the food. The pizza tastes very good. The cheese is the right amount of oouey gooey, the crust a hint of sweetness, and the toppings were fresh. This beef patty with cheese was average. I can do without the cheese. Vera you have yourself a repeat customer. Come one come all to this hidden gem! I saw some deserts through the glass. They looked yummy that's next to try.

    Excellent!!! You won't be disappointed! We enjoyed visiting Tara Grill for many years. The NEW Vera Pizza & Grill is a pleasant surprise. The owners have done a wonderful job with the menu and recipes. (Freshest Grape Leaves ever!!!) Amazing Taziki Sauce.

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.

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!
