Went two times now! Once when it was still a pizzeria and went again once the cafe opened! Food Can never go wrong with their pizza! We've tried just about every combination now and have not been disappointed. Service Friendly staff and quick service! Ambiance It's a good mix of vintage and hip! Love the overall vibes. There's ample seating indoors and outdoors during warmer days.
We've tried to come here a few times, but there is usually a sign on the door that says their waitlist is full or they don't do take out orders. We decided to ask even thought thee was a sign on the door and they said they had room for us. It's a small little restaurant inside. We came with a party of five and ordered a pizza for each person. It was a perfect amount for an adult if you're really hungry. For kids, probably two could share one. I got the fungi white pizza and it was delicious. I loved all the flavors. I tried the margarita pizza and that was also really yummy. We tried an Italian beer, which was pretty good. There weren't many beer options. Overall, Pizzeria Faulisi is a yummy pizza option in downtown Cary.
absolutely incredible!!!! stopped by for dinner without a reservation, just 2 people, at around 6:45pm. the place was pretty full but we got seats at the bar, which ended up being great because we could see up close how the magic was being made! it was kind of loud inside, so i thought i heard the server say each pizza was individual size, and suffice it to say they were much larger than i was envisioning. we ordered one margherita and one sassier italian (pesto and calabrian chiles) and the pizzas came out super quick. both were absolutely delicious. we especially enjoyed the sassier italian, which was actually spicy! i can't wait to return to try some other menu items, especially the tiramisu (which looked amazing as servers walked by with it), the cannolis, and the arugula pizza. an awesome little joint!!
Cozy restaurant and best to head early to grab a table. If you enjoy thin crust pizza, this would be the place. There is a small selection of white and red sauce pizza. Service was prompt and our server always checked in with us. Great place to have a family dinner out with the kids!
After hearing many positive reviews about the pizza, I finally made it in for lunch. Great location with plenty of parking. They offer indoor and outdoor dining. Stopped in for lunch and didn't realize they don't offer individual slices, so naturally I had to order a pizza for myself:) I ordered the Margherita pizza, it's cooked in their wood oven and was flavorful. Can't wait to try other menu items. Nice and small intimate pizzeria in the heart of Cary.
I usually come here for the tiramisu, but decided to sit down for a pizza today and enjoyed every bite. Loved the atmosphere, it could be a great spot for a date night or taking friends visiting from out of town. Waiter was attentive and the food arrived fairly quickly. I'll be coming back again!
The service is fantastic here and I love the pretty and cozy bistro atmosphere. The pizza is tasty, but a little charred on the crust. This is a relaxing place to grab a bite in downtown Cary.
Always good and the tiramisu was the best version that I have tasted, ever! New seasonal veggies with a very yummy compound butter. Try it! I am usually gluten free but for whatever reason, their pizza dough doesn't make me feel bloated or cramps. I think they special order their flour from Italy(?)??
Yay for being open most of Saturday, so that we could have an early dinner (or late lunch)! This is in a small strip center on the way into downtown Cary. (where capital vacuum is). We almost drove by it thinking it was farther into downtown. Parking lot is not huge, but we scored a spot. There is a hostess stand and a limited number of tables, but there are also counter seats. The small space is well utilized (staff has lockers near the bathrooms, for instance). The star of the show is the wood pizza oven. Water is the trendy bottled no-ice version. Sigh. I like ice! Oh well, have a glass of the "daily" wine for $5 and not whine about it. Husband chose a Bruprint scotch ale and was only mildly disappointed that it was out of a can. He much prefers drafts. Love that they have vermouth options. Will have to try those next time. Hungry after working out, we went with the Cauliflower Caesar to start followed by the Amati (3-meat pizza: pepperoni, soppresetta and prosciutto) along with a Margherita with Calabrian Sausage. Cauliflower is so tangy and rich. Loved the char on it, and the rich sauce. Wouldn't have minded a little more of the zesty arugula that topped it, to cut the richness. Don't waste the charred leaves...they're as good as the rest of it! Pizza: I do believe Husband used the word "sublime" about the crust. It's delicate, but stands up to the toppings just enough. The char is what makes it, so those that think that's burned are just plain wrong. Note: one pizza would have been enough for both of us, but we were happy to take leftovers home, and are happily anticipating them. Dessert: Couldn't pass up the house made cannolis. They come in a pair, with a nice cherry on one end of each and a little chocolate on the other. Tasted like homemade cheese as well. A steal at only $3! Which leads me to saying that we were pleasantly surprised at the reasonable prices! An appetizer, two drinks, two pizzas and dessert for $55 (before tip). Are you sure we're in Cary? :)
We split a salad and margherita pizza for dinner. The salad was $7 medium sized with nuts, Italian cheese, and mixed greens. There was lots of radicchio in the salad which made it a bit bitter but had a nice crunch and zest with the lemon vinaigrette, so overall good. The pizza was on special for $6 from 5 - 6 pm; unfortunately we arrived at 6:08 pm and it was $13. Not worth the full price. Crust was good, sauce is tangy, fresh mozzarella and basil were excellent but so lacking in quantity that we had mostly tomato sauced bread. This would have been more acceptable for $6 but definitely not a $13 pizza.
Reviews are generally positive. Many highlight the fresh, creative food, especially the pizza and sandwiches. People also enjoy the charming Italian atmosphere and friendly staff.

Faulisi Caffè & Enoteca is such a cute, authentic little spot in Cary. The atmosphere genuinely made me feel like I was back in Italy, and you can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients in everything they serve. The pizza and sandwich bread were both excellent, and I especially loved the flavorful green sauce on the sandwich. The pizza was delicious, although the dough was a little soggy in the center. The tiramisu was rich and tasted very authentic, with a noticeable alcohol flavor, which I personally enjoyed! I also took a sfogliatella home with me, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything else pictured we enjoyed at the restaurant. The staff was friendly, and the space is small but very charming, with wine and other Italian goodies available for purchase. It is a little on the pricier side, and while everything was very good, a few small details kept it from being a full five-star experience for me. Still, I would absolutely return in a heartbeat! Parking is free for two hours when you scan the validation code inside, so be sure not to pay for parking beforehand. We didn't have trouble finding a spot, although I could see it being more difficult on a busy weekend. read more

Love this spot! Super cute Italian cafe vibes, and I love everything we've tried on the menu. My fav is the roasted cauliflower sandwich - I get it every time, with a cappucino and a sweet treat! read more

We had three different menu items plus dessert. The first was the Amat, a red pizza with tomato, mozzarella, crumbled meat trio and oregano. This pizza was disappointing due to the presence of a greasy taste, which perhaps was from the crumbled meat trio. The amount of meat for the price was very low and although the crust was good and the other ingredients were good, that greasy taste was very distracting. The second pizza was the Why Not, a white pineapple pizza with prosciutto, pickled chilis (which we put on the side and didn't eat), mozzarella and pecorino cheeses. We found this pizza to be excellent with strong cheese flavors and very good prosciutto. The third main dish was the Wood Fired Cauliflower sandwich, with charred onions, serrano (which we did not include), arugula and tofu whip. The sandwich was excellent and I recommend it to the vegetarians reading this. Our dessert was the tiramisu, which was very good and a decent size. Overall, the pizzas were good (except for the Amat), but overpriced. The sandwich and dessert were excellent. read more

Really enjoyed this place! Friendly, attentive service, nice vibe and good food! Had the salad, which had unique lettuces, was lightly dressed and delicious! Tried two pizzas -amat and why not? Both were tasty with delicious crust. I will say the center could have been crispier. Overall, really enjoyed - We'll be back! read more

I'm always excited to try a new pizza place. There were plenty of good reviews for this place. I wasn't thrilled to drive all the way to Cary but I was hoping it was worth it. The service was good. I ordered a margherita pizza. It was okay but I prefer a crispy bottom opposed to a soggy bottom pizza. I tried a new cider which was delicious. Check out the pizza specials. I think we came here on a Tuesday when the pizzas were $10. read more

Great place for wood fired pizza. The tiramisu and cheesecake are great for dessert. To quote my wife "I've never had a bad meal here" The restaurant is small and casual. The service is friendly, and we've enjoyed everything we have tried. We usually get one pizza per person. My 6 year old eats about 3/4 of a Margherita Pizza by himself. He's an animal. read more
Yeah, I know. I'm reviewing a pizza place for my 900th Yelp review. But you know what? I love pizza! And Pizzeria Faulisi is doing a very good job with their neapolitan pies here. So in addition to Tre Forni, Pizzeria Toro and Pizzeria Mercato, you've now got a great choice in Cary, Pizzeria Faulisi. I like what they did with the space. It's sunny, open and bright, befitting a higher-end pizza joint and that one wood-fired oven cranks out a lot of pies. I've tried their salume, bianco e verde, margherita with sausage and plain ol margherita. Their dough is excellent, a mix of 00 and Boulted Bread flour. It's super tender and moist but with enough chew to work it's magic. Toppings are high-quality and used generously. And with the pies in the $11 to $15 range, pretty reasonable for what you get. And while the servers here are a bit young, they've done a good job on my two visits. So thanks so much for all the great pizza, Pizzeria Faulisi. Great job with your pies and I'm looking forward to visit #3 and hopefully an expansion of your menu... read more

My family LOVES this place!! Walking in, the restaurant is pretty small but has a great family feel. The decor is definitely set up to make you feel nostalgic (lots of pictures of grandparents, etc). Very intimate setting. Hostess is always super nice and informed about how long the wait will be, and servers are knowledgeable about pizza/friendly! As for the pizza, WOW. My family lived in Italy and is Italian and LOVES the pizza here. The crust is very authentic - thin, crispy, and very good flavor. Our favorite pies are probably the Amat, the Margherita, and the Biano e Verde. I also love that they have a vegan option (Marinara has no cheese, and you can add whatever toppings you like!). We've never tried the desserts, but the salads are great for appetizers. We usually get 2-3 pies for 3 people and share them all and we always leave with leftovers. I'd say that each person can eat about 1/2 to 3/4 of a pizza? But obviously it's up to you how many to get. Price is very reasonable, especially considering how delicious these are!! Truly the only con is that the wait can be long, but really really worth it. They don't take reservations, but you can definitely be seated right away if you go early on the weekend or if you go during the week. Plus, the wait is worth it hahaha this pizza is downright delicious. Best Neapolitan pizza in the triangle!! read more

Pizzeria Faulisi fell short of my expectations. Mom & I decided to check out the newest addition to downtown Cary recently. When we walked in to grab a table for two we were confused when the hostess told us the bar was the only available option (the only open tables were for parties of four). Now I do understand that this is a smaller space but the restaurant did not fill up the entire time that we were there. As far as beer goes, there is no draft beer system so you have your choice of a few cans/bottles. They also have wine and liquor. The menu is smaller, you have a few choices from the antipasta, pizza and dessert sections. The pizza can get pricey if you choose to add additional toppings. We ordered the Bianco e Verde and Marinara with Sausage. I normally do not complain but the crust on the Bianco e Verde was so soggy that it just dropped when you picked up a slice so they eventually brought me out a new one. The flavor of this pizza was just okay, it was definitely missing something. I was able to try a few slices of the Marinara and was not a fan of the sauce but the sausage had good flavor. When I asked for a box there was a hilarious message inside: Do you want a pizz-a this? I thought that it was clever. So far my least favorite wood fired pizza option. Next visit I would like to pick up a pizza and take it over to Bond Brothers but they really do not do to go orders (I think that they may do them if they are not busy). read more
Was happy to stop in for opening night at Pizzeria Faulisi which is a very welcome addition to the downtown Cary are as an awesome place to grab a Neapolitan Pie. The owners have clearly done their homework to create an authentic pizza experience that they cook on a legit wood fired dome oven like you would see at pizzerias in Naples. We had the Margherita and also had one with sopressata that was great and cooked just the right way with the appropriate char of an Authentic Neapolitan Pizza. They had a packed house and seemed to be handling the opening day crowd well so I think they are going to do great here. One suggestion I could make is that they have a cart they could bring with pizzas or people could request that would include common stuff people might want to add onto their pizzas like grated cheese, crushed garlic, calabrian peppers and olive oil. Keep in mind its right next to the back courtyard of Bond Brothers which is a great brewery and you can totally bring a pizza from here over there if you want. Were going to be going here a whole lot and you should too. read more

Pizzeria Faulisi, you are a dream! This is some of my favorite pizza in the area and you can't beat the location (right next to Bond Brothers and Sidebar). We did a pickup order during COVID and they had the cutest setup - check out the pic! Our favorite pizzas are the funghi and salumi, but you really can't go wrong. We can't wait to dine-in with you again soon! read more

Delicious pizza! Highly recommend the Caesar cauliflower and gnocchi as well. I ordered a tequila drink and it was served in a cool carafe! Service was amazing. read more
