They proudly said their flower is so pure from Italy that it would not bother our friend. Ten minutes later Our friend smiled and said it was amazing but she had no issues eating their pizza. Quality counts, yet, their prices are fast food like but quality throughout. They must really train their staff because everyone is customer friendly. And all of this comes with an Italian dining feel. What could be better? Try it. We loved it. And BTW - this was just the pizza, the pasta is to die for.

Located in the former MOD Pizza, this family owned and operated spot can't be missed. Go early on Friday and it may take a moment to get the process under your belt but it's worth the lesson and the wait. We had the calamari and my husband who is hard to please said it was cooked to perfection. We also ordered 2 pizzas and the Penne Vodka. The sauce for the pasta was as close to Jersey as we have found and the pizza crust was divine. I learned since they reopened they are importing flour and their pasta and it's absolutely perfection. I'm not sure if I was just hungry or if it was the changes they've made buy Ricci"s closed and leveled up.

My sister, brother, and I dined at V Pizza + Flask in Brier Creek and had a great experience!…read more The Brier Creek location is basically in a strip mall and no frills, but don't let that fool you. The food, drinks, and service was all great! There is a fun bar area (opens at 3pm) and in addition, a mid-sized dining area. We went between lunch and dinner, so it was pretty slow which was nice & relaxing. We started with waters and opted for a glass of red wine. Their wine list is decent, and cocktails begin at 3pm. We ordered a few menu items: Buffalo Wings, Caprese Plate with Proscuitto, Side Salad, Piccante Pizza, Pepporoni Pizza, and the Butter & Cheese Noodles (we love a good pasta with Pecorino Romano). The Wings were crispy and delicious, spicy but not too spicy. The Caprese Plate was also great, super fresh and flavorful all around. The salad was fresh and enough to share. Both of the pizzas were yummy, we shared the Piccante Pizza and I got the Pepperoni Pizza to go for my daughter. Lastly, the noodles. These were not bad, but I would not get them again as they were a little bland. That being said, they were on the kid's menu so no big deal, we really just wanted to try them out. I would absolutely go back to this location, as well as the Cary location as I have tried it in the past but never left a review. We enjoyed the entire experience!

Let me begin by reminding my loyal followers--who know I have the subtlety of a brick when…read morereviewing food--that I grew up in Italy. I don't expect perfection in America. I do, however, expect witnesses to at least resemble the crime scene. The menu lured me in with a Margherita Classico: San Marzano tomato sauce, bufala mozzarella, and basil. I misunderstood. I assumed they meant San Marzano tomatoes, not a tomato sauce salted so aggressively it could preserve Pompeii for another 2,000 years. Americans do love putting sauce on everything, and I can live with that. But a proper Margherita doesn't need to swim. Let the tomatoes do the talking. The basil was fresh and lovely. The "bufala mozzarella," however, appeared to have called in sick and sent its bargain-bin cousin from the discount dairy aisle. If that was buffalo mozzarella, then I'm the Pope. The biggest heartbreak was the dough. It actually looked promising, but instead of light, airy, crisp, and kissed by a wood-fired oven, it had the personality of a yoga mat. Authentic pizza dough should make you smile before you even notice the toppings. Here's the baffling part: this isn't ancient family knowledge guarded by Italian grandmothers on mountaintops. The entire recipe is free. It's on YouTube. Thousands of Neapolitan pizzaioli have practically filmed a master's degree for anyone willing to spend ten minutes watching. The staff was genuinely friendly, the restaurant was clean, and I honestly believe they're trying to do something special. That's what makes this disappointing instead of merely bad. When you advertise authenticity, people expect authenticity--not a pizza that needed a passport just to identify itself. If anyone knows a truly authentic Italian pizza place in Raleigh, please point me there next time. My partner says I should stop trying to emotionally process mozzarella.

I can't speak to the service or atmosphere since this was takeout brought to me by friends but I…read morecan absolutely speak to the sandwich. And unfortunately, it was...yucky. I ordered what's been, in the past, an amazing chicken cheesesteak (or whatever it's technically called): No green peppers, add banana peppers. Side of fries. Simple. Comforting. Reliable. What I received was essentially a whole loaf of bread with a light suggestion of chicken, a few onions, and what appeared to be a ceremonial dab of mayonnaise. In other words: dry, chewy, and just plain gross. There were no banana peppers, which was really the only customization. And the first red flag? When I picked up the sandwich and it felt as light as a feather. Never in my life should a cheesesteak feel weightless. It genuinely seemed like someone tried to compensate for the lack of filling by throwing in approximately one pound of cold fries. That strategy did not work. To add context: my friends were doing me a solid by picking up dinner and coming over to keep me company after a pretty rough week recovering from an accident. I was sore, cranky, and just wanted a hearty, comforting sandwich. Instead, I got a bread-based metaphor for sadness and disappointment. I've had good experiences here before, which honestly makes this more frustrating. I hope this was a one-off and not the new standard because no one craving comfort food deserves to unwrap a sandwich and feel sadness. Do better for the next person. Unfortunately, you won't be getting another order from me.

Tasty pizza, but pretty $$$ for what you get…read more We came here for a late lunch. My husband got the lunch special, which was half a margherita pizza plus a salad for $10. If you add a topping, you pay the full upcharge, even though it's just half a pizza (though maybe they put a whole pizza's worth on half?). I got the calamari, thinking that for a $15 app, it could just be my lunch. Alas, the portion was quite small (see photo; several of the fried bits were fried pepper, not even squid), and it was just okay. Some pieces were pretty rubbery. I also tried a bit of my husband's pizza. The crust is lovely, and the sauce was very flavorful and complex. Service was friendly but a bit lacking. They forgot to bring out my husband's salad until after his pizza came out, and when we were done, I had to go find a waitperson to get our check. Also when I googled up the lunch special price to double-check, I learned it's also supposed to come with a drink, which I guess they forgot to tell us or offer us. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy the spring weather. If a friend suggested meeting up here to grab a drink and share a pizza, I'd say sure! But I wouldn't waste my money on the calamari again.

This relatively new joint at U Hill wants to recreate that old-time pizza joint experience and…read moremostly succeeds. With checkered tablecloths and big screens showing cartoons, definitely a family vibe. We were promptly seated and perused the menu. We decided on the pizza logs, a salad and the spicy soprasetta pizza. The server warned us that some people think that pizza is too hot but we like spicy so we decided to go for it. Actually, it had a good amount of heat for us. It was chilly outside and the place definitely filled up during our meal. We had never had pizza logs before and actually weren't wowed by them. We heard that the fried mozzarella has an amazing pull, so that might be fun to try next time.

Crispy outside, cheesy inside, sweet and spicy sauce (literally finger-licking good). - Fried Chicken (Vodka sauce, fried chicken, mozzarella, red onion, bell pepper, chili sauce, parmesan, parsley): Loved the creaminess of the sauce, the quantity of toppings was just right, the crust was utter crispy perfection. - Eggplant Alla Norma (San Marzano tomato sauce, fried eggplant, crushed tomatoes, mozzarella, pecorino/parmesan): Overall very tasty, but would have appreciated a bit more eggplant. - House Made Tiramisu (Imported Italian ladyfingers soaked in espresso, Kahlua, Goslings dark rum, whipped mascarpone crème, dusted with cocoa): Very coffee-forward but balanced well with the cream, not too sweet. Service was amazing, our server heard my dad talking about how much he liked the hot honey sauce from the polenta dish and brought us some more on the house! You seat yourself and order off a QR code on your table. Ambiance is casual, it's like a converted garage. Nearby free parking is a little sparse unfortunately, but there were some spots in front of the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend!

The pasta dishes also come with one garlic breadstick, which was a nice addition. It did take a while for our food to come out, but luckily it was not busy at the time.

The portion was huge, which was great for value, but I do wish they had better lunch specials available, especially for the pasta dishes and subs, with smaller portion options. Overall, everyone enjoyed their food.

Update review 2026:…read more I've been raving about coming back and Georgina's did not disappoint. In the same location. They didnt change anything. Ambiance still relaxed. Focus will be on service and food. We were attended to right away. We both ordered diet cokes. And a cordzza to share for an appetiser and with italian bread knots. Cordozza is like an italian grilled cheese made with foccacia and mozarella im between. Then dunked in bread crumbs and deep fried with tomato cream sauce. One word: Delicious!!!! We used the bread knots to mop up the rest of the sauce. Then we had our respective mains: I got a salmon picatta and my colleague got a lasagna. My salmon picatta was delicious. Salmon was delicious and perfectly done. Cooked and not dry. Just perfect! The lemon sauce on linguini is a little tangy. And I'm already salivating whilst writing about it. I do believe there were little capers in it. And a wonderful pairing it was. Not wanting to leave without our desserts- we each got our favourites. For me, a tiramisu and for my colleague and dear friend- a slice of red velvet cake. It was a wonderful night. Yes... I admit- a lot of carbs. But it was well worth the wait! Will be back again- when I'm in town Just a little sad that I will miss their anniversary event happening in June.

Georgina's may be my favorite Italian restaurant in the greater Triangle area, and that's coming…read morefrom someone who spent most of my life in the great Italian-American diaspora of northern New Jersey. What makes a good Italian restaurant. First of all, it has to have an owner who takes pride in their food, service, AND atmosphere, and Ro, the owner here (short for Rosemarie), delivers on all fronts. The location is perfect, in a shopping center with plenty of parking. The outdoor seating area is spacious and attractive. The indoor space is pleasant. The servers are kind and conscientious (shoutout to Tiffany), and the food is exactly what you want in an Italian restaurant -- great red sauce, all the red sauce favorites, made with quality ingredients (no greasy cheap mozzarella here!), hearty sandwiches and stromboli, great pizza, and some lesser-known dishes. I've had the pizza, the meatball sandwich, the chicken parm (I told you I'm from New Jersey where that's what we call it, though I DON'T call "mozzarella" "mutzadell"), the chicken/mozzarella panini, and the chicken marsala. All of them are perfectly cooked and generously portioned. The broccoli and spinach sides are perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of garlic. The most recent time I was there (April 11, 2026) there was a very young singer of American standards named Liam Rocka. It's unusual to see a guy that young in a porkpie-type hat, suit, and natty red pocket square. This young man has the crooner phrasing down to a T, though he occasionally ventures off-key, because while Sinatra made it sound easy, this stuff is really hard to sing, and it's a delight to see someone this young loving this music. He gets bonus points with me for apparently having discovered Frank Sinatra by watching old Warner Bros. cartoons. The most recent time I was there, I stupidly left my credit card in the folder with the check, and when I called, Ro got on the phone and said she has it, and I went down and retrieved it. And she required me to prove who I was to get it, which is important. I've taken my retirees group here for lunch in the past, and I'll schedule another lunch there soon. At a time when restaurants are increasingly moving to the "fast casual" model, with plastic cutlery and takeout containers, Georgina's is a welcome throwback to the way restaurants should be. Go! Mangia!
