    *Loop Burger
    Sara L.

    Red the reviews of this place and decided to give it a try. The food was pretty good but we were really disappointed with the service. It was a Sunday evening but it was really busy. I'm not sure if they were short staffed or if that is how it normally operates but the tables were loaded with dishes and no one was bussing tables. About halfway through the visit a woman who I think was the dishwasher came out to clean off the tables finally but that was the only time I saw anyone. By the time we left nearly all the tables were dirty again and no one was bussing them. New customers were just claiming dirty tables. The decor is cute and the place has a lot of potential. We will probably try it again soon to see if our experience was just a one off issue. Based on this experience though, the food was okay but it was no where near worth the price.

    Quick and easy ordering. Food was ready quickly. Chicken Caesar wrap was OK. The chips were a little bit crispy than I would prefer.

    First time at this location. Normally we go to the one in Chapel Hill. This one is brighter with a much more inviting decor, although just as cold inside. We came here specifically for the creamy French Onion soup, which didn't disappoint. Very tasty, although not nearly as hot as the CH location, which I swear comes straight from a boiling cauldron! I wish they had some hot beverages on the menu, but they don't. Just cold bevs. Oh, well.

    Pesto Chicken Ciabatta. Yum.

    Met with family for a quick lunch. The burgers are great as are the steak fries. I tried the chicken pesto ciabatta sandwich for the first time. Pretty good. You have to really like pesto. All in all, another good experience.

    We went for a Saturday night date and it was a cute, casual spot. The restaurant was packed, but the staff worked quickly to clean a table for us. We ordered our food at the counter and it came out quickly considering how busy the restaurant was. I ordered a blue cheese burger and my husband ordered a bacon cheeseburger. The food was fresh and well seasoned! Will return in the near future.

    *Portabella/Bacon Med

    We popped in for lunch today. Had a beautiful Gorgonzola salad with sundried tomatoes and candied walnuts. We woofed that down, so no pictures. Then we got the portabella and bacon pizza and let me tell you, it was worth every penny of the 17.99. ...from the crust to the abundance of bacon, mushrooms and carmalized onions...absolutely delicious. So glad this place is just blocks from our new house and we will go back. Just one note: don't expect charismatic or friendly service if you're looking for that. It's more like no frills, no personality or even no response to some questions we had.

    I love it when we decide to try something different and it turns out wonderful! The blue cheese chips - AMAZING! Never had creamy French onion soup before - DELICIOUS! My husband really enjoyed is BBQ chicken pizza too! We're definitely returning!!

    Close to museum. Great food selection. Pizza was crispy. Pesto chicken fanatic was tasty!

    Average place with a decent menu. It's a self help place. Order your food and come back to pick it up. Self service for drinks, silverware and condiments. The menu has a small variety of choices. They do serve alcoholic drinks but no menu so you have to look at the display at a distance. I ordered the French onion soup which was more creamy than a broth. Not much flavor and pricey for the serving. The onion rings were big. The type you bite and the whole onion comes out. The bleu cheese chips were good and had the right amount of cheese on them. The pizza was mediocre at best. Not a lot of toppings including the cheese and sauce. They do offer milkshakes that look delicious but the food is basic

    Emmy squared is excellent pizza (if a little, maybe a lot pricey). It's Detroit style which is…read moresimilar to Chicago style in that it's a deep pan cooked pizza but it's more like standard pizza than Chicago style which is almost more like a lasagna or something. I really enjoy Detroit style pizza and it's not something you see a lot of around NC so that's nice. They also have a very good Gluten Free option which is nearly the same as the traditional crust - and if you ask they can mock up the cheesy sticks using the GF crust as well. The service is always super friendly at any location I've been to. As I mentioned, it's pretty pricey for pizza but it's also something you can't quite get around here otherwise and it's a nice place to go for something like date night.

    I did carry out and it was my first visit. I'm not new to Detroit style by a long shot so I was…read moreexcited to try it. The flavor is a 4.5/5. The sauce is pretty darn good. Sweet with a little bit of tang and you can definitely taste the seasoning. The crust has the right thickness the right crunch and the right give. The crust could stand to have a little more flavor but overall it was a solid crust. My issue with the food was for $25 on a 8x10 pizza, there should be enough cheese in the mix to cover more than 60% of the pizza. They have a "signature cheese blend" but then 40% of the pizza doesn't get any of it. A bit disappointing. Which gives the value a 2/5 at best. In addition to these two factors I was asked my name for the order when I arrived. The young lady walked off and then I spotted her on her phone in the corner, followed by folding pizza boxes in a different corner. Eventually a gentleman approached with the same question. Wouldn't you know it, my order was sitting right there next to the host stand. Not impressive. The ambiance is a bit pretentious for a place serving pizza which I found to be pretty greasy. The ambiance definitely matches the price so I guess that's what they are going for. The only lot for parking is paid but I suppose that may be the norm for "downtown" Durham. The flavor again was very good, but the value and the competency of the staff are a miss. As a frequent traveler I think I'd explore the other options next time rather than return.

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!
