    We went for trivia night and was pleasantly surprised about the pizza, drinks, and crowd. Team Forced Fun will be back again soon!

    Food is not bad and staff is absolutely amazing always. The place itself is always clean and very well kept. Only complaint is food is way overpriced for what it is, but no fault of the floor staff

    I'd only been here in the past for pizza. Earlier this year we did take out pasta when I was sick at home recovering from surgery and that was very good. Today we came by for my spouse to try a slice of the Sicilian pizza, which was sizeable. She really liked it along with a very plentiful side salad. I had two slices of the meat and roasted veggie pizza that was so good. One slice would have been enough, but sometimes the eyes are bigger than the stomach!

    Drink menu!

    After years of driving by and saying that I would try this "sometime," I finally went! And boy, I am so glad I did! It's tough to find gluten-free pizza that's decent, both in taste and in price, but Tomato Jake's knocks it out of the park! A good friend of mine has Celiac's, so we have to be pretty careful, so we were wonderfully surprised with the care, attention, and knowledge Jake showed. After chatting with him for a bit, we found out that he's been offering gluten-free crust options for about 12 years because he has a family member with Celiac's. And they're from a local bakery--win-win! Gluten-free options come in both 10" and 14", so splitting a pizza is definitely an option! Specialty pizza options ROCK, and they have reasonably-priced drinks as well. We came here for dinner and drinks with coworkers on Friday night, and everyone left feeling super satisfied. We'll definitely be back!

    Came on a Saturday early afternoon with a party of 6. Because of its location at a mall strip, there was plenty of parking spots. First thing I noticed was that they have a big outdoor dining area. I ordered the Steak out sub (7 in) Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ended up waiting for over 15 min for our food. That was much longer than a typical wait for a sub place but it may have been because my party also ordered a pizza and the food came out at the same time Food 4/5: The sub was good. I was pleasantly surprised that their bread was toasted and not dry. The ingredients also seemed fresh. Overall, it's a 4/5, a decent place to grab a family lunch.

    Calzone

    I'm conflicted about this one. The pizza was really good - the dough was chewy, the sauce was bursting with flavor and not watery at all (I hear they make this in house), and the fresh melty mozzarella was delicious. I just think $15 for a 10" pizza is overpriced, and would rather buy single slices next time. The calzone was a much bigger portion size, dough was just as good and I loved the roasted pepper filling :) I also sprinkled some Parmesan and chili flakes for an extra kick. When we visited we found people playing texas poker at a larger table in the back, seems like a nice place to hang out and relax after work.

    Large slices for a decent price. Pepperoni was a bit greasy but not too much to handle. Kitchen guys are pretty funny if you sit at the bar.

We have many breweries closer to home but we drive 30 minutes out of our way for the pizza. I always tip them well even though they don't serve you.

I've been to the Raleigh location as well, check out the review if you want to know more. Panysaurus over all is a cool place (either location) but they have drastically different vibes - which in my book is a good thing. The Durham location brings you an awesome patio scene! The bar itself is a bit small but their indoor/outdoor approach makes it seem huge. The patio is two floors, both covered, one just off the bar and the other right about that which has a few TVs for those interested. Off of the patio is a nice size "beer garden" sitting area complete with picnic tables and a great view. If you are looking for chill family friendly patio vibes this is the place to be! I really love Ponysaurus beer, their pilsner is nice but their kolsch is my favorite. If you've been to the Raleigh location, the Durham menus is not the same. Yes they have pizza but it doesn't seem to have the same options - still good though. We went with a hankering for the hummus we got at the Raleigh location, again the Durham location had hummus but a different variation. One thing that's consistent with both locations is the amount of pita that came with the hummus, there is nothing worse than getting a huge bowl of hummus and only a few pieces of hummus or chips. Both locations knocked it out of the park. Plenty of WARM pita for everyone. This location is somewhat self-service, the bartender obviously poured out beer and there is a cute window for picking up snacks but no table service.

They have both booths that are very comfortable and tables that can be pulled together for a group. I took advantage of a lunch special and had a meatball sandwich with salad. Yum! The sandwich could have used more sauce but the huge meatballs were wonderful. The salad was so much better than other places....real greens, tomato, cucumber and OLIVES! It was tossed with a super dressing. The service was excellent and both ladies that were working checked on me often. One of the ladies was a bad influence when she told me about the dessert choices. Everything is made in house except the gelato. I chose the cannoli cheesecake! Wow!!!!! It was awesome! Clean, comfortable, great food and prices. I have found a place I will be coming back to when in the area!
