Thomas was amazing and very attentive to all my needs I got the Italian rolls and they were super delicious

Out of Diet Pepsi. Grocery store literally NEXT door. But no. they don't care enough to go over and buy a few 2-liters for their diabetic customers. REPEAT customer at that. Server argued with me that they don't have Diet Pepsi. She didn't say out of it she said we don't have Diet Pepsi. I know that's being picky but she was adamant about it. Didn't try to rephrase it. Brought me the ticket right after the appetizer came out. I guess she was done with us. It wasn't even our check. No refills offered for my wife's tea. POOR service and attitude. read more

We tried Rudino's in Wake Forest for the first time and were seriously impressed. The pizza had a great crust -- kind of that perfect mix between thin and pan style -- and the toppings were fresh and balanced. We also ordered the Sicilian grinder and the house-made bread really stood out. You can tell it's not just some generic sub roll. The wings were crispy and flavorful, and the atmosphere feels like a true local sports bar without being overwhelming. It's family friendly but still a fun place to catch a game. Service was quick and everyone was welcoming. Definitely one of our new go-to spots for pizza and grinders in Wake Forest. read more

We came in as a group of four -- two adults, one older child, and a baby -- and were told we couldn't sit at a six-top because the restaurant was anticipating a busy night. The only other option offered was a high-top, which isn't safe or practical with a baby. When we spoke to the manager, he said he had turned down another family in the same situation earlier, so he didn't feel right making an exception for us. While we understand the policy, it made the experience challenging for families with young children. We enjoyed the pizza on our first visit and thought it was excellent, but this policy made us reconsider returning in the future. read more

A couple caveats: I would try this place again and get something other than pizza and this is based on a carry out order. I got BBQ chicken pizza with no bacon. Overall, it was okay...I think I'm just not the biggest fan of their crust. The thickness and flavor just wasn't great to me. It was too thick to be a thin crust and too thin to be a thicker crust. The toppings were good, I think it's just the crust that wasn't it for me. My friends got pizza, salad, and a sandwich and all liked their food! I think maybe it was just my choice. So three stars for now, may be updated if I try it again or go in person! read more

Absolutely amazing!! Delicious food and extremely nice workers! We were with Jorden/Jordyn(brown hair, one brown, one blue eye) , it was an amazing place and had a nice and calming atmosphere! One of the best places in North Carolina since I've been here! Absolutely recommend this place! read more

The food is decent here and the service is fine. I'm just taken aback by the up charges for the side dishes. A $4.99 up charge for sweet potato fries and 2.75(ish) for fries. It seems pricy to me. I had boneless chicken wings tossed in mango habanero which was good, albeit could have used more of the sauce. read more

Rudino's Heritage - Boneless wings with mango habanero sauce - Pizza Near Me - Wake Forest, North Carolina

I chose to come to this location because the one closest to my house has fallen off. We were seated right away. This location is a lot smaller than the Raleigh location. There is a bar and televisions inside. The business has daily specials for drinks and food. We ordered the Royale pizza and added bacon, no olives and mushrooms to half of the pizza. We also ordered wings with two sauces on the side. Our server came back multiple times to verify how we wanted our pizza and wings prepared. Our wings came out & they were prepared well and tasted good. Our pizza however was missing the onions and green peppers. We decided to just keep the pizza because it took a while to come out. The manager came over & told us that he wanted to give us a discount because we didn't get all of our toppings and that the employee was new. We were appreciative. Overall the meal was good and the staff was pleasant. read more

First time here and we were pleasantly surprised. We've always heard mixed reviews and wanted to judge for ourselves. We would give this more like a 3.5 but Yelp doesn't permit 1/2 stars and a three rating seemed too low. Hostess was very friendly and cheerful. We were seated straight away. Server was very friendly as well and attentive. We started with chips and guacamole - it was delivered to the wrong table and we all noticed - the other table said, "these aren't ours" and we said "they're for us". The server realized and just grabbed our food from the neighbors table and brought it to us. I'm quite certain that this would have not been acceptable for other people, we chose not to make it a big deal. I'm not a guacamole fan but my husband is and he like it quite well. Chips were a bit thicker than we like but overall good flavor. For lunch, we chose the French dip with fries, white pizza with a side of sweet potato fries and hubby went with his standard cobb salad. We had to send the fries back as they had cinnamon on them (don't think that was stated on the menu) and our daughter has a cinnamon allergy. The white pizza was pretty good. My French dip was average, it looked rather like packaged deli meat. I would not order it again. The fries were ok. My husband said the cobb was ok. Overall, glad we tried this restaurant finally. I appreciated how clean the ladies room was and the music was great. The decor is nice and the feel is very family-friendly and casual. Again, I'd give 3.5 stars for anyone reading, not a 4. But, definitely worth a visit. Employees were all friendly abd restaurant was spotless. We'll visit again but will try other menu items. read more

This is one of our favorite local eateries. Great food. Love their Calzones. Servers are swell. Recommended.

We enjoyed our time at Rudino's. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by staff and seated. Our waiter was very friendly. I ordered the Buffalo jalapeño halves and the Thai chicken flatbread. They were both good. The jalapeños were stuffed with Buffalo chicken dip, bacon bits, and BBQ sauce. The Thai chicken flatbread had sweet Thai sauce --although I would have enjoyed more I thought there wasn't much on it. It also had chicken, pineapples, onion, cilantro and mozzarella. I also enjoyed an amaretto and coke from the bar. It was a great afternoon and I look forward to coming again. Thanks Rudino's for the food and friendly service. read more

My family dined in on a Friday evening and the service was great. We eat pizza every Friday and being new to the area, we wanted to try somewhere locally owned. At first glance, the crust seems like the typical thin crust but it's the perfect combination of thin and pan crust. They aren't heavy on toppings but the flavor more than makes up for it and the ingredients are fresh. We did carry out for our next visit and it was still delicious. It's more pricy so it's won't be our weekly spot but we definitely plan to go regularly. read more

I was visiting my boyfriend from New Jersey and I had asked him to take me to a sports bar and I guess I am used to a sports bar to be a sports bar but this place did not have the feel of a sports bar at all. When we got here the place seemed ok and it was not crowded inside since everyone was sitting outside which was great because I figured service would be better inside, guess again. The fact that my table was not even clean and it just looked dirty just made it worse but because my boyfriend didn't want my jersey side to come out he said to just be cool. After waiting for 15 min for service I told him that I was going to get up and leave but then our waiter came and he was such a nice kid that it made me feel better and we decided to stay. For the appetizers we decided to order 10 traditional wings and the bruschetta. The Bruschetta was ABSOLUTELY delicious that my boyfriend stated it was a good choice but then again bruschetta is bread, salsa and balsamic on it. Now we are wing snobs and the wings were horrible and I was not happy with them at all. After my boyfriend ate them he said they were the worst wings he had and he should have never ordered them. WINGS HERE ARE A NO NO! For my meal I had the Cesar salad which was basic but it was good and he had the Italian rolls and those were really good. Overall, I would not come to this place if I wanted to watch a game. If you want to stop by a place for a quick bite then this place is for you. Service was very SLOW but very friendly and kind. read more

The Lovely Wife was ill and had requested a nice sub for dinner and, of course, I agreed. Normally we go to Jersey Mike's but it's a good 15 min away from our house. I also had to stop by Publix and I saw that there was a Rudino's right next door... how lucky, right? Let me first say that though it was a little busy, it was by no means overfull. They were doing a certain amount of takeout, so that may have affected things. As I was ordering for the whole family, I got a large veggie sub, a normal ham and cheese and calzone with pepperoni and italian sausage. The prices were pretty high but in line with what I'd get at Mike's so I wasn't to concerned. That was before I saw what we got for that money. To say I was disappointed would be a sad understatement. By eye, I'd say the subs were only half the size of those at Mike's. There were almost no vegetables on the sub and the cheese was a pathetic amount... maybe a single slice per normal sub? The fries and the toasted subs were cold... I think they made those first and let them sit while the calzone was being made. The calzone was acceptable, but not great. There was almost no meat, the cheese was light, and the sauce tasted acidy and I suspect it came from a can. If prices had been half as much, I'd have no complaints... you should get what you pay for, right? But combine the high price, the longish wait for takeout, and the substandard fare, I definitely deserved more. On the plus side, the environment was nice for a sports bar and the staff was pleasant. I'd give them half a star for that but it's rounding down, I'm afraid. read more

We came in specifically to try the pizza. Being from NY, I am always on the quest for the pizza of my youth. While the pizza here was ok, it just didn't put it over the top for me. Again, nothing wrong with it, just my personal taste gives it an ok. I did like the unique way they sliced into diagonal bite size pieces, especially for my 6 yo granddaughter. read more

Delicious! This is my go to place for pizza and wings. The pizza sauce always has robust flavor. Crust it cooked to perfection and the same their Buffalo wings! I have also tried the club grinder and my entire family just loves it! The staff is always pleasant and they seem to follow all Covid precautions. This place is a must! read more

I probably didn't need another place to get wings and pizza but I'm glad that I have one! Rudino's has a nice clean, sleek but comfortable atmosphere. There are high top tables, low top tables and a bar; no booths, in case that's important to you. The food is always hot, fresh, and some menu items have a fun spin on the typical. An example is the Italian Rolls. It's a like a rolled up pizza cut in slices, and then grilled on the edges to create crispy delicious goodness. You can customize to your liking. I am grateful that Rudino's mild wings are in fact, mild. My friends and family assure me the hot sauce wings are hot so kudos on the accurate heat scale! I love the mild and the ginger sesame, some of my favorite in the area. Such good flavor! The grinders are huge! Be hungry or share - you've been warned. The bread is simple and delicious, letting the chicken, steak or veggies inside steal the show. There's generally plenty of parking, bathroom was clean, and the staff are pleasant and attentive. There are deals throughout the week and weekend. read more

Got the wings "extra crispy." They were the fattiest wings I've ever had. There was nothing on these wings that was even remotely crispy. I did do take out but ate them immediately after arriving home so there was a 15 minute delay from when I picked them up but nothing was crispy. Half the wing was gummy fat that I had to pick off. read more

We've been coming to Rudino's in Wake Forest NC for about two years. They have great pizza and wings and we've never had a bad meal. It's a nice environment for families and couples. The staff is nice and the food is consistently great. It's affordable and they have a nice bar if that's appeals to you. read more

Hey Rudino's good wings, but you need to update your menu prices. Holy cow, sticker shock...$5 increase for 20 wings!?

I had the most expensive pizza of my LIFE! Gluten free +$. That was expected, however, I ordered pepperoni, green peppers and onions. I could count the 5 very thin slices of green peppers but the onions were harder to find. So I paid nearly $4 for the tiniest bit of vegetables on my pizza. I got a whopping $19 pizza. So no, won't be going back. read more

Rudinos has become one of the spots that we frequent and it's good that it's near our house because we have the option to order and pick up as well. Have tried several of their times from their grinders, pizza, cheese sticks and wings. Everything that we have had has been delicious. Their pizzas are ample size with enough to take home for leftovers. Their wings are sizeable, cooked perfectly and prepared with delicious sauces. The grinders are so good and they do not skimp on the ingredients. They have ample parking in the shopping center and we never have to wait to be seated. When ordering for pick up, the order is always ready within the quoted time frame. The staff is nice and they are very attentive to the needs of the table. You can't go wrong with anything from their menu as everything we have had has been spot on. read more

Been here twice and so far so good. Service has been great and the wings and pizza were awesome. Wings were crispy yet not overdone and right amount of sauce, not drowning! The pizza is always cooked perfectly and we get one that has a lot of toppings and they're cooked well and the correct amounts. Watch out for the kid's meals though, their huge! Our 6 and 4 year old split one and they still didn't finish it! Only problem we had is that we got home and realized we left the box with 4 slices still in it! No late night pizza snack for us! read more

Just stopped by for dinner with my family at Rudino's in Wake Forest,NC. We were promptly sat and proceeded to wait for 20 minutes as server by server walked by without even addressing us.

Worst service ever! read more

I was a little hesitant about going in this place because I'm not a big fan of sports bar type of restaurants.

Our daughter ordered a turkey sub no cheese cold . Well actually weighed the meat exactly 2 oz of turkey one tomato slice a-little lettuce a slather of mayo !! If that was served in any grinder shop in New England they would be closed . I ordered the chicken philly , sorry just as bad . So if you want a bread sandwich that's the place to dine .

Apple & Google Maps said they were open today (Monday) but they were closed. Waste if gas.

UPDATE: To his credit, the owner followed up with me so we were willing to try again. We went on a Thursday night and were seated immediately upon arrival. All of us enjoyed our food so much that we didn't have anything to take home! Our server was pleasant and attentive and our order was filled exactly as requested. The only reason I'm taking a star off is the slow service. We wouldn't have had a problem with it except that two tables near us were seated about 5 minutes AFTER we were seated -- both of these had 5 people and we had 4 people. Both tables received their food at least 5-10 minutes before ours arrived. When we asked our waitress, she checked and told us it was because they ordered fewer items --- 2 pizzas, 1 appetizer and a kids meal (versus 1 sandwich, slice of pizza, 1 appetizer, and 1 kids meal). Not sure why the other table of 5 was served earlier, but our meal was good and served hot. Finally, we ordered dessert (pizzookie, I think?)- which I highly recommend (but again you need time as it took 17 minutes to arrive). In summary, this was a much better experience and would have been 5 stars if it didn't take us 1 1/4 hours to have dinner on a week night. read more

We cannot thank Rudino's enough. Yesterday was our daughter's 16th birthday party. The place where we were suppose to hold it lost power. We called Rudino's and they saved the day. The manager was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. The food was devoured, plentiful and delicious (the staff pulled this together with only two hours notice). They went above and beyond to help us out and you just don't see that every day. Thank you guys!!! We will definitely be back. read more
