Had a great first time experience here! I work remote and was in town but looking for new breweries to hit up (I completed the Raleigh Ale Trail last yr but never made it here) and this spot was convenient to where I was. I went on a Wed right after they opened at 4pm and was greeted/seated super fast. Had a lil hightop in the corner to myself, so was able to work quietly. They provided the internet & pw so I had no issues connecting and a person even came around to ensure I was able to connect! I was starving, so I ordered the small Most Loyal pesto pizza and subbed the garlic kale for the roma tomatoes (highly recommend) and paired it with the Trophy Husband Amber (also highly recommend this duo) and OMG was my mouth happy! My pizza was perfectly cooked, the flavors were so collaborative & complementary and the beer (which was a classically made amber) was almost symbiotic in how well it amplified flavor notes in both the pizza/beer! Since they don't do flight boards, I appreciated that the super friendly, engaging, and accommodating staff let me "try before I buy" and I was able to sample & decide! Ended up doing a half pour of the BBA Heavyweight Champ as my dessert! I'm a sucker for thematic glassware, so I LUVED the glass art for this beer! Def stop in if you happen to be in dwntwn Raleigh!

This was a very cool place that served what I would describe artisanal pizza so I won't hold it to my typical crust/sauce rating standards. My coworker and stopped here for lunch one day and ordered two small pizzas and shared so we could try two. We got Most Outgoing and I can't remember the name of the other but it had pepperoni on it (pictured). Both pizza's were delicious, I'd say the pepperoni was the best but I think that might just be because it had bolder flavors. I'd order either one again. The two smalls were perfect for the two of us but the small might not be filling enough for the average person. Didn't get the chance to try the beer because - well it was working hours but I'll be back for date night eventually. The staff was wonderful. I felt a warm welcoming vibe, seems like a very cool place to hang out with friends. All their ingredients are locally sourced.

Cloud surfer

A Raleigh staple for its unique pizza and beer options. We went with friends and sat outside. I was worried because it was chilly but they have heaters in the ceilings so I was warm the entire time. I got the Cloud Surfer (beer) and Most Outgoing (pizza) - $15 for a 9" feels steep but it was filling. $50 for two beers and two 9" pizzas. Parking has changed - the lot behind their restaurant has reserved parking but there's a parking lot across the street so still easy.

My boyfriend and I like going to Trophy Brewing and getting their pizzas. They have unique combinations and the menu rotates. He usually finds a beer he likes and they have great outdoor seating.

Average spot with overpriced food. Came here with a group and the service was very slow. I ordered a small customized pizza due to dietary restrictions which came to ~$30. It wasn't clear that no toppings were included, just the sauce. Definitely wasn't worth the price and the service didn't improve the experience. Parking is easy so that is a plus.

Very cool place with a nice outdoor patio! I ordered a lemon rosemary cream potato arugula pizza and unfortunately my friend's chicken pesto honey pizza was yummier than mine! My pizza wasn't bad, just different. I highly recommend the chicken pesto honey pizza though. Our waiter was great and offered me a free substitution of a topping since I said no mushrooms. I asked for bacon and the kitchen forgot, but that was just a minor mistake and didn't affect the experience. Very cool place with a great menu!

Chicken Wings
Kristi B.

We were making a pitstop in Raleigh on a two week road trip and knew we had to come back to the trophy room to have some great beer as well as check out the pizza. The last time we were here they had exceptionally good wings and we wanted to make sure it would happen again! . We are happy to report that the food was absolutely just delicious as we remembered when we were here back in June. My husband ordered the dry rub wings with the garlic sauce on the side. It was absolutely perfect! I opted for the indoor kid pizza, which was a nice mix of mozzarella with tomatoes and a little bit of sweetness. Really delicious pizza and I love that the personal size pizza, are just the perfect size for someone to be full but not feeling bloated. Also tried the Wildberry tart pop sour very fruit forward. Definitely reallyenjoyed that.

Pizzas for private event
Glenn G.

In full disclosure, I was here for a special event and not sit-down service. Our group had a little area off to ourselves. We could redeem drink tickets for a beer and they brought out pizzas for us. Parking was challenging since the lot right behind them is only open to restaurant patrons after a certain hour. I ended up parking on a nearby residential street. I will say the beer was good and the pizza was decent. By the time I left, the place was packed midweek and there was a line to get in. Pretty popular with the locals, I'd say.

Cannoli
Briana F.

We got the farmers market and margarita pizza and the pistachio cannoli. Food was good but the pizza was super overpriced for the portion size. Would not recommend.

There is certainly one thing better than finding a comfortable neighborhood patio to sit down for a drink, one that can serve a proper old fashioned. The old fashioned is one of the oldest cocktails in the book, with the first recipe being printed in 1895. It is a simple recipe made with simple ingredients, served over ice in an old-fashioned glass, also known as a lowball or rocks glass. Any attempted alterations to this simple recipe usually results in a good glass of SWILL. Trophy brewing can serve a quality brew within the temp range of 36 to 40 degrees, but they don't even serve and old fashioned over ice and nobody likes a warm cocktail on a 95 degree day. I was at least hoping for a delicious hummus appetizer and although they do serve a delicious garlic hummus, they do it no justice by serving it with the thick and dried out pita bread. I am a fan of the open aired patio, the wonderful service and excellent ambiance, but the food and drink doesn't seem to raise any flags at this point! Cheers!

I don't see Detroit style pizza on the menu, but it's in the photos. Is this something they only have certain days or upon request?

Detroit style is only available on Mondays!

10/10 experience as always. Still my go to spot every time I travel to Raleigh for work. I was sad…read moreto see that they adjusted their hours a little and don't open until 1pm due to low foot traffic and slow business for them. The chef was very kind and made us a little extra for lunch- such a great guy! Thank you for always making your food with a lot of love and care. The rigatoni alla vodka is still to die for and I haven't found another place that comes close to it in Raleigh or Charlotte. Encourage everyone to support this local, small business!!! The food is awesome here!!! They also have more budget friendly lunch options too- just give them a call.

I had been looking forward to trying this place for a while with my family but we all left a little…read moredisappointed. The restaurant is nice and dimly lit with plenty of seating, but you will have to find street parking around Glenwood. We were a party of 6 and they pulled together tables to accommodate us. Our server was a little slow but still friendly. For starters we got a Margherita pizza, calamari, the grilled caesar, and they brought us a complimentary bread basket with oil. Everything except the caesar was good. I guess we didn't expect the caesar to taste THAT charred and the lettuce to not be chopped. For main entrees, we ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli, penne alla vodka, and alfredo. The vodka pasta and lasagna were unflavored and disliked among the table. I would not recommend those dishes. The alfredo was okay. The best dish was the lobster ravioli.

Spicy sausage pizza…read more *Spicy sausage pizzzzaaaahhhh!* Had a very pleasant evening here with friends and fam. Wasn't well planned so we just winged it with a party of 11. Some pasta dishes, some pizzas, all happy. Out the door was right at $414.00 which is super reasonable for such a crowd. 10/10 will be back

We entered through a big heavy wooden door into the quasi-dark atmosphere and were promptly seated, despite most of the tables being occupied. We were given a two top and started with chips and guacamole. I was impressed with the chips, they were a little extra thick, had tiny bubbles in them. Certainly a far departure from the typical thin, overly salty chip found at most restaurants and grocery stores. Excellent guac with a little pico and lime wedge on the side. I ordered the Baja bowl with shredded adobo chicken. The bowl had green rice, black beans, a whole lot of kale, tomatillo sauce, pickled red onions, crema, and cilantro. It needed a little more, so I added in some of the guac, a few chips I crumbled in my hands for some crunch, and some fresh lime juice. Noah did a good job keeping our water glasses full and he was quite friendly. However, the restroom situation is a bit difficult. There are two small unisex bathrooms, both of which have to be locked. There can't be more than one person in there at the same time, so plan accordingly. Granted, since there isn't much space in the restaurant, it's not as if they have a ton of options.

I like it there overall but I'm definitely not a fan of the thunder-dome cut throat atmosphere of the "seat yourself" first come first serve...just make a wait list, takes 3 seconds

It was my first time visiting, and I overall enjoyed the vibes. There's a nice variety of beer selections on tap. The food options are pretty pizza-heavy, but no complaints there. I had the Export Stout for my drink. I am a coffee stout fanatic, and this one was pretty meh. I wasn't getting a lot of coffee notes from it, and it didn't feel as full-bodied as most stouts I've had. Not horrible, but I wasn't overly enthused. However food-wise, the meatball and ricotta pizza was my jam. I love ricotta anything, and the dough had a great chew to it. We stayed basically right up until closing, and the vibes definitely got less hospitable the closer to closing it got. 10 minutes before closing, we were asked to pour our beers into a plastic cup from our glass cups. I've never had that experience at any brewery before. A bit odd lol - like closing right on time was the priority at all costs over the customer experience. But overall, we had a decent first visit, and I would come back.

Still one of my favorite pizza pies 15 years later. I just love this place. Great spot to meet up…read morewith friends and share a pie.

Once upon a time, this place wasn't just a pizza restaurant--it was a pilgrimage site. People…read morewhispered about its crust like it was sacred text, and its awards lined the walls like a shrine to melted cheese and triumph. "Best Pizza" many years running back when that actually meant something. Now? It feels less like a restaurant and more like a nostalgic reenactment gone very wrong. The menu still reads like a dream--Carolina crust this, atomic sauce that--but ordering has become a real exercise in imagination. Half the ingredients are apparently on a spiritual journey and no longer physically present. You'll ask for sharp cheddar and get a thoughtful pause, followed by, "We don't have sharp cheddar, we might have a Wisconsin sharp cheddar?" --which, to their credit, has the word "cheddar" in it. The staff move with the energy of a group project that everyone forgot was due today. Pizzas emerge... interpretively. You might order a margherita and receive something that captures its essence, emotionally, if not structurally. It's less "wrong order" and more "pizza as a suggestion." A master of creative problem-solving, this cashier has boldly redefined the concept of "making change." Why fumble with buttons and math when you can simply hand over two beers and call it even? It's less of a transaction and more of a surprise gift exchange--one where the rules are unclear and the outcome is mildly concerning. And the wine list--oh, the wine list--is a beautiful historical document. A relic. A time capsule from at least six months ago, when bottles still existed and hope flowed freely. Now, asking for wine feels like asking about a long-lost friend. "We don't have that," they'll say, gazing into the middle distance. Still, there's something oddly annoying about it all. Like walking into a once-revered theater that still clings to its golden-age reputation. The performances feel like echoes rather than art, the lighting flat where it once dazzled, and every scene drags with the weight of trying to live up to a forgotten past. It's not bad enough to be a disaster--just disappointing enough to make you wonder if the hype was ever real or if you're just eating the ghost of someone else's great experience. Cheers!
