    Tables had crumbs on them
    Heather B.

    Just not a good experience. Here's my honest review: Flavorless crappy pizza with barely any cheese (see picture) Large slices Restaurant tables were dirty, I bussed our table myself Asked for a box twice*, employee forgot first time and after waiting 10 minutes, I got up and asked him again Overpriced for the quality that you get (bad quality) We gave them a try and it was a "one and done". Very disappointing. Wasted $18+ on four pieces plus two sodas. * Brought two of four pieces home, nobody wanted them after seeing them, threw both leftover pieces away. Total waste of money.

    This is the slice I got for lunch today, it's always so big and delicious.

    I order a slice once a week with extra cheese, it the best pizza in Wake Forest, NC, the crust is always crunchy and thin. I am from New Jersey and this pizza reminds me of home. The owner is very polite. Thank you.

    Went in for 2 slices and wings at 7:15pm. Couldn't understand why he couldn't bake a pizza and slice. Will not go back.

Vlad here, describing our GO-TO pizza place here in Wake Forest: George's Pizzeria. Y'all know I tend to focus on local gems, and this place is in our top 5 eateries for immediate eye-rolling gratification and tasty leftovers regularly in our fridge. We are coming up on 2 years as WF residents, and have eaten at - or picked up for in-home dining - George's pizza, wings, calamari and other awesome fare - this review is long overdue. We have taken out-of-town visitors and family to George's, with rave reviews and amazement over the fresh flavor and relaxing ambiance. Located on White Street alongside local seldom-used train tracks with plenty of on-street and private lot parking, this wheelchair-accessible hideaway is close and easy to get to. We frequently dine in, enjoying epic service from the small and efficient wait staff - yesterday we were privileged to have the amazing Emma serve us - the epitome of friendliness and rapid efficiency, featured in one of the pics posted. We always get a tailored Meat Lover's pizza (large, of course, so we can enjoy more of it later in the week!) and the unbelievably crispy and tasty wings, along with ice cold beers - HEAVEN! See the pics for more details, and then GO TO GEORGE'S PIZZERIA and see for yourself what I'm talkin about!

We ordered our drinks and she returned with them. We told Chloe we were visiting from out of town and gave us complimentary garlic dots. Our table ordered a small specialty pizza called "The Stanley Cup" it had Canadian bacon, crispy bacon bits, chicken, and cheddar and mozzarella cheese and drizzled with a buffalo sauce, 10 piece bbq wings with ranch dip, I ordered the basil pesto tortellini with salmon and asked for the Kalamata olives on the side and it came with garlic bread and lastly one person ordered a 8 inch build your own pizza with pepperoni, chicken, olives, mushrooms, onions, garlic aioli sauce instead of red sauce, and Parmesan cheese. My salmon was cooked perfectly and the pasta and sauce was delicious. I did add a little salt but I don't like olives so since I gave them to another person in my party if they had been in my pasta that probably would have cured the salt issue. It was still amazing! The garlic bread that came with it was grilled just not buttered enough so I asked for extra. The wings I got one of were good and sauced and had a crispy exterior and juicy inside. I didn't taste the build your own pizza but he ate it all so that says it was good. I did taste a slice of the Stanley and it was good. The buffalo I could handle and I don't care for spicy but it wasn't too much for me. I would say it could have been cooked just a little longer. Still delicious and flavorful!! The garlic dots!!! I would make a trip just for those. Crispy exterior and soft cooked dough on the his inside and their garlic butter made with fresh garlic and the sauce!! Amazing!!! Definitely a keeper! Also got a slice of cheesecake to go! Yum!

    An OK spot for pizzeria fare in WF…read more It's a big place, at least 25 tables. Decor is Americana-kitsch. (Think Cracker Barrel). Also features a prominently displayed political flag - guaranteed to antagonize 50% of the patrons which to me doesn't make sense. And could very well explain why it wasn't very busy on this Friday night. Service is fantastic. The young lady helping us was professional and efficient. Food came quick, order was correct and she made sure our glasses were never empty. Food is ok. Didn't order pizza, as was in the mood for other Italian specialties. The garlic knots were interesting. Reminded me of crescent rolls made out of pizza dough. They're served dry, with a cup of garlic butter dipping sauce. Tasty enough, but not really how I envisioned them, slathered in butter with chunks of garlic, served in a basket. Baked ziti was ok but bland. Pasta slightly overcooked so it was mushy. Sauce is good though, a little sweet. Similar experience with the fettucine. Fettucine cooked right, sauce didn't have any zest to it. Will give another try, next time to taste the pizza. Hoping that this place succeeds.

Restaurant is super cute and the employees were all very friendly and welcoming. Order was ready for pickup at the right time, no wait. Pizzas were good, we do tend to like our white pizza with ricotta (my fault for not paying attention) and it was not as garlicky as we like but good overall. Onion rings were scrumptious and the mini cannolis were very good! Plenty of parking and great location. We will definitely be back!
