First time visit as I wanted to try a new pizza place in Wake Forest. I'm glad I did. Paco's is…read morein the same place that used to be Little Caesar's pizza. I placed an online order for a Margherita pizza with sausage and a cheese pizza, both 18 inches. The website was easy to order from, no issues there. They even accepted Google Pay which was a nice bonus. Prices were also inline with similar pizzas in the Wake Forest area from non-major chain restaurants. The wait time on a Friday evening was about 30 minutes (same as mentioned when ordering) which is inline with other local pizza shops during that time of day. When I picked up the pizza, a lady greeted me with a hello and a nice smile, can't overlook that nowadays! My wife and I had the Margherita pizza and my son had the cheese. The Margherita was very good. I figured I'd like it, but was a bit surprised how much I'd like it. Thin crust. If you like olive oil and garlic, like I do, you'll appreciate it on this pizza. I think they enhance everything else on the pizza. They are pronounced, but not overpowering. The pizza was not greasy, with the ingredients (fresh spinach, onion, tomatoes) very fresh tasting. The crust was ok, not special, not bad at all, but the toppings definitely made up for it. I think some additional flavoring from yeast would have helped the crust. My wife also really liked the flavor of the pizza. We'll definitely put this on repeat in a future order. My son thought the cheese pizza was good, similar to other pizza restaurants in the area that are not large chain types. Overall, I'm glad I took a chance and now have yet another option for pizza in Wake Forest. I'll be back!

It took an hour to be delivered, was ice cold when it arrived but also, there was not much cheese on it. The sauce was very meh as well. Maybe it was an off night? Either way, we did not enjoy it, not sure we will order again. Think we'll stick to Romeo's.

Ordered a couple items - a Carbonara Piada with crispy chicken and a Diavolo Pasta with grilled chicken and cheese. Both items were hearty, well sauced and spiced, fresh tasting, and delicious. It's a unique menu and we would eat here all the time. Plus, it was a really good portion size for money in the quick service scheme of things. The store looked very recently opened, modern, clean, but it's a couple years old. Most of all, I have to praise the friendly and helpful staff. I was greeted when I came in to pick up my order. I had made a bad mistake in ordering, and without even asking, the kind cashier and chef insisted on correcting it. They went above and beyond. Their colleague who was attending to the line and packing up the beverage station was also friendly and helpful. This was a solid A+++ meal and experience in my book and I strongly recommend.

The entrance is on the street level but stairs are required to visit the eclectic shop. They do have a webpage you can order from if stairs are an issue for you. I first found Homebody's during a Ladies Night on White as I wouldn't have stumbled onto it on my own as the entrance was in the back. But the unique items in the store were enough to bring me back. Besides the shop, in which you will find candles; stationery; clothing; baby items; items for the home; self care; and much more, they also offer workshops so you can learn some new skills. If you are in Downtown Wake Forest and looking for the perfect gift for someone make sure to stop in Homebody's.

I've been going to this location for the past 3 years. However, after the past couple of visits,…read moreespecially today, I have decided to stop shopping here. We don't go grocery shopping often and tend to do one big trip once or twice a month. Having said that, most of the products here were either expiring within a few days or were already expired. I was looking at some cheese, I sometimes do the "manager's special" which means it's expiring soon. The cheese I picked up was completely molded. The produce section is a hit or miss. Nearly all of the bags of premade salads were expiring within a few days and the onions had fruit flies and bruising all over them. The soon-to-be expired food selection really makes grocery shopping for the month really difficult. On top of pricing, this is no longer the cheaper grocery store option in Wake Forest. The staff have always been lovely and oddly enough, I've made connections with quite a few people working in the checkout section. Unfortunately, due to high prices and nearly expired food every visit, I won't be coming back.

We special ordered a cake for the five year anniversary of our organization…read more The person who took our order said a white cake and lemon frosting with our group logo would be perfect. Instead we got a white cake and white frosting. We were told at pick up "I can try to fix it" but did not tell us what that meant. More likely than not just scraping the frosting off and putting on new. She did take off the price of putting the logo on and then offered the wonderful excuse " The logo is better on white anyway yellow frosting would tint the logo yellow" Guest services said "Oh, I'm sorry" and did not offer any assistance whatsoever. The correct answer should have been "What can I do take make it right". Now we know why it's guest services and not customer service as they provided no real customer service Overall our experience with the bakery and a custom order was terrible as was the lack of caring at guest services. I would consider not using them for custom orders or be specific in telling the to do what you ordered and don't make changes.

I also had prosecco. I decided to eat half and take the remainder home. When I approached the counter for my to-go box I feel there was a smile and a more pleasant demeanor from the other staff.

I also knew the temperatures would be dropping and that I love hot cocoa when it is chilly out so was excited to see the hot cocoa bombs. Then there were macarons too.
