Oakwood pizza box is five stars for me for their simplistic approach. Take good ingredients and make the best possible pizza. This, to me, what makes a great pizza. You can taste the tang of the sauce. The cheese has some pull but not too much. It makes a perfect crease when you fold it. The pizza has a bit of grease, but not such that you have to blot it with a napkin. It has a thin crust. It's simple, it's authentic, and it's delicious. The salads are huge, the wine is inexpensive, it's just perfect. Wait staff were great. You sign in via a QR code and get added to a waitlist. There's a bench to wait, bar seating, and a tv. read more

Oakwood Pizza Box - Cheese pizza and house salad - Pizza Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Stopped by Oakwood Pizza Box a little while back and wow we weren't disappointed. When you arrive parking can be a little difficult in this area. If you can't find parking on Person street I recommended parking on a side street and walking. Walking in the pizza shop has a cool, laid back, neighborhood vibe. To be seated you'll want to ask for an open table from the staff. Once seated we ordered a pitcher of Narragansett Pilsner and a small Caesar Salad (housemade dressing, lemon garlic breadcrumb, pecorino). The pils was excellent and wanted to order a little extra beer since it was the weekend. The Caesar was excellent and the portion was plenty of food for two people. For pizza we ordered a pizza with half sausage and half pepperoni. The pizza was huge and we definitely had to take 3/4s of it to go. The pizza itself was good and was a little heavier than I was expecting. If you are in the person street area and looking for pizza, I definitely would check out the Oakwood Pizza box. read more

One of the best things about this place is that there aren't a million options to sort through. You pick your base, add your toppings, and enjoy. Also, don't overlook the Caesar salad. The crisp wedges of lettuce, generous amount of shredded cheese, crunchy croutons, and flavorful dressing make it the perfect companion to your pizza.

Our favorite pizza we've found in Raleigh! We always get the square pie with either meatball or pepperoni - it's the best. It does take longer to cook, but it's worth it for how crispy the crust gets! And I love their garlicky marinara sauce! And the fresh basil! Their Caesar salad was also v good, the smaller size was perfect for two of us to share. It's a small place so it can get busy, but typically we get lucky and don't have long of a wait at all! read more

I stop here every time I'm in the area. Outstanding pizza, very good wine selection. Staff is super friendly. Love the front of house and kitchen vibe. Seating options outside, inside, or "at the bar" (my favorite). Will add Photos after next trip. ;-) read more

Cozy little pizzeria, warm service and great pizza! The family enjoyed a Sunday afternoon savoring great pizzas! Keep it up! read more

My husband and I stopped by a local beer and wine bar near Oakwood Pizza Box and decided to order takeout. The wait was very reasonable--about 25-30 minutes. The staff were friendly. We ordered The Square pizza along with three cannolis. I liked that the pizza was served with a side of fresh basil, but overall, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. If you prefer a thicker crust, this pizza is probably a good choice for you. The cannolis, were pretty quite good. I did see some indoor seating, which is a nice option if you don't want to order to go. read more

First time trying Oakwood as I have heard it's really good. I got the square pizza with the chilies and olives. Overall, I would say this was a pretty good pizza but nothing extra ordinary. I did like the crisp on this however, I did think it was a bit too oily. We also got a gluten-free pizza and that one was pretty good but it did make our stomachs hurt. I think I would want to come back and try their normal pizza as I have heard that might be the best. We got this for pick up so unclear how the inside is. Parking around this area is very difficult depending on what time you come as there is only street parking. When we picked up the pizza, they did not give us napkins and said there were no napkins. Just something to note on the service end. The price of this pizza is pretty high, but I would say on average for what you get. We spent around 50-60 dollars for 2 pizzas. Overall, I would say this was a good pizza but not great. I do want to come back and try there one other pizza that they have. read more

Oakwood Pizza Box - Sicilian Square Pie - Pizza Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

We continue to be impressed by this place. Came here again tonight for our usual two pies, one square, one cheese and pepperoni (pictured). Pizza was perfect as always but my genius husband suggested a Caesar salad so we got one. I need you to understand that this salad is life changing. The lettuce is so crisp and perfect it's like an angel blessed it with a kiss. And it has toasted breadcrumbs and the best parm cheese on it. Their dressing is perfection too. I'm sorry I don't have a pic. But seriously go get that - like immediately. read more

Fantastic pizza. Top 3 of my life. Dined inside and it was a little warm. But who cares. Pizza is busin!

One of the best gluten free pizzas I've ever had, and it's not a flat stupid cauliflower crust! I got the white pizza and loved it, but felt it needed more flavor, so I dipped it in some red sauce I had. My boyfriend got a regular cheese pizza and there definitely wasn't enough cheese on it, but still enjoyable. I would come back and now know how to modify some things! read more

Great neighborhood pizza spot. I wish I had a place like this where I lived. Just a very low key, relaxed neighborhood vibe. Very attentive service and well run place. I can see why it's so busy. I'm typically NY style guy and this place has a quality NY style pie. The crust has a terrific crisp and chew. It's very light and you can eat a lot of it. However, the square pie steals the spotlight. I haven't had a square pie like that before. Despite it being thick, it's surprisingly light and the texture isn't what I expected, it was better. Get the square with pepperoni. That's the pro move. read more

I almost hate to make such an amazing review of this place because then it might blow up even more, but here we are. It is excellent. We got 2 pizzas, 1 one was half pepperoni and half cheese and the other was sausage and mushroom. Both pizzas were incredible, a crispy crust that has no flop, excellent sauce and excellent toppings. It is my favorite pizza in the state. If you are in the area you must stop by. Seating inside is slightly limited, but they do have pickup. All the workers are kind and welcoming! read more

This place is great. One of the best caesar salads i've ever had. The pizza was good too, i loved the sauce. The price was very reasonable, a coke, salad, and pizza split by 2 people was around $20. Service was great, the place is very small so be ready to wait if you want to eat inside. read more

Some of the best, most fresh tasting pizza I've ever had. And by FAR the best gluten free crust I've ever had.

This small pizza spot is great, with amazing food! We came on a Thursday night and there was no wait which was amazing. We have heard that it can get a bit packed on the weekends since they don't do reservations and it is a very popular place. Definitely recommend if you want to try some really good pizza. read more

I'd been waiting about 6 months to try this place and I got my chance. As many people have said, it's small for sure. An L shaped bar and just a couple of tables. But during good weather, there is a counter area to sit and eat/drink. We got an 18 incher, plain cheese on half, sausage and green peppers on the other half. Right before serving, pizzas are topped with fresh basil and a handful of grated cheese, very common of a pie from Brooklyn. Delicious flavor to be sure. The crust was crispy all the way to the bottom, which is key. I've had too many pizzas where the bottom of the slice gets soggy. The slices were well proportioned crust to sauce to cheese. The sausage was crumbled as opposed to sliced, and it had plenty of fennel and spices. The peppers weren't really needed, it was just several small raw strips of pepper scattered on the pizza. Beverage options are a bit limited. There's Mexican Coke (the way God intended it!), Dirt Coke, Natalie's strawberry lemonade, espresso, and a couple of beers and wines. Iced tea would be a welcome addition. The back of the bar is sparsely decorate, but I did see a John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman WFAN radio bobblehead. Even though I'm a Mets fan, I'll forgive it. read more

Hands down the best gluten free pizza crust I've ever had in my entire life. They make it in house, it's not one of those cheap crappy frozen pre-made crusts that places like Mellow Mushroom serve you. Only thing I could complain about is they won't share the recipe! But I don't blame them since it's such a winner. We paid $22 for a gluten free pizza with three additional toppings aside from cheese so it's a very fair price...and did I mention how good it is?? The regular size house salad is delicious and enough for two people, especially if you're sharing a pizza. I can't imagine how big the large salad would be. It's also gluten free and they have dedicated gluten free cooking areas so no crossover contamination! The menu is small but it's all you need. You do one thing and you do it well, you don't need a 28 page menu. It's downtown so parking is a bit tough but if you are lucky you can snag a street parking spot right in front. It's a bit of small space so not a lot of seating but we've never had to wait long to get a table. If it wasn't so far from Fuquay I'd get it as take out...maybe they would consider opening one in Fuquay or Holly Springs? Great vibe inside and really good service. read more

I tried to place a delivery order last night, as shown in the screenshot attached. The order was confirmed, and we were waiting for an update, only to receive a cancellation message over an hour later, right around 8:40 PM. This left me scrambling to find dinner for me and my guests from somewhere else before everything closed on a Sunday night. This isn't the first time we've had issues with this location--pickup/delivery orders have also been inconsistent in the past. Always love supporting a local spot, but we won't be ordering from here again. read more

I've heard of this place for months when people talk about authentic pizza. Living in NC for my entire life I can't speak on that but what I can tell you is if I had ate it at the restaurant vs delivery I do believe it would have been the best pizza I've ever had in my life and I'm 53. Kudos to the Oakwood Team! read more

Hands down the best pizza in Raleigh. Take out can be a huge mess, BUT they are opening a new take out only location where Capital Creations used to be. Just trust me and go try it piping hot out of the oven. Simple menu with 2 drafts and a grand wine list. Servers are very busy with all that is going on with walk-ins and take out but do an effective job. read more

This pizza is so good. My husband placed a takeout order online and selected a caesar salad, the cheese pizza and an order of cannolis. The menu is small but that is because the pizzas they offer are that good. I can't wait to dine in next time and try the square pizza. read more

When we walked by on a Friday night, this place was crawling with people. A restaurant snafu the following night luckily left me with the opportunity to try Oakwood for dinner. While they don't open until 5PM, I placed the order online midafternoon for a 5:30PM pickup. When I arrived a few minutes before 5:30, people were waiting outside and I asked a kind gentleman what the order of operations was. He advised me to let them know I was there in case my food was ready. It was and I very happily walked with my massive pizza box to the car. There a small park a block away and my husband and I sat on a bend with our pizza. We cheese pizza with meatball. It was delicious, though k would have liked a little more cheese. The dough was crisp and so good. They gave me basil leaves to put on the slices. I can see why this place is a neighborhood favorite! As we were eating a woman walking her dog asked if we were eating Oakwood. When we said it was our first time, she asked if we got the white pizza-when we said no-she said we had to try it next time. So take note, if you're going for the first time, you can get a half and half pizza. read more

I'd had Oakwood Pizza on my list forever and ride by often, but have almost always had dinner already. This time, I was in the area and decided on takeout. I ordered online and picked it up. It was super crowded inside and outside on a Saturday. There's plenty of tables outside. I didn't go all the way inside, so I'm not sure how much space there was. It's the biggest pizza ever, and it was so tasty. I ordered just cheese and mushroom and loved every bite. The pizza was so big, it took days to eat. read more

I got the square (thicker) pizza with meatballs mushrooms and black olives.. it was delicious.. the house salad to go. The girl told me I had to get the large if it was to go... all it was was a $14 box of lettuce, two little pepperoncini's and I mean little and a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese, not worth 14 bucks.. the whole thing cost me 53 bucks.. a bit pricey.. but like I said, the pizza was delicious.. read more

My 1st visit, recommend from tik tok. I was not disappointed. The pizza & the services was great. I will be back.

Had a very simple order and they delivered the wrong order. Specifically ordered something in regards to work around an allergy.

Delicious pizza! The crust is perfect and I love their pepperoni. It gets like and crispy on the edges. Also love the fact that they put fresh basil leaves on their pizzas. Not much indoor seating so if you come, only come with one or two other people. Definitely difficult to seat larger parties read more

Pizza is very good. Pepperoni and red onions. Caesar salad is solid. I would recommend fixing the hours on Apple Maps and the ordering software. I showed up to get my order and the restaurant was closed and my order was outside. Appreciate them putting it outside and it still tasted good. read more

I've been here about 1/2 dozen times and it never disappoints. Pizza is consistently good and salads are excellent. If you like your pizza well done then you're going to love it. If you're a more of a medium done person than it may not be to your liking. Personally this is by far the best pie in Raleigh and I have visited over a dozen places. It's a small place but be patient and you'll get a table in a short time. read more

Excellent pizza and staff! Highly would recommend to all. Great local pizza place for lunch or dinner.

Flavorful, thin, crispy, and chewy. Solid 8.3 out of 10. Not many options for toppings which makes ordering easy. I love that they give you a little bag of basil leaves to go for each pie you order. Great local place to drink, laugh and enjoy company. Walk across the street and visit an original Krispy Kreme for dessert. read more
