Italian Pizzeria III

"I had high hopes and was ultimately left mildly disappointed: (Sicillian Meat Lovers, pepperoni calzone, and Buffalo chicken calzone.) The Good: The crust on the calzones were amazing, delicious and fresh. I really enjoyed the Buffalo chicken calzone. Also, I liked the affordability of their sicillian with toppings where most places in the area charge far more. The toppings were good quality and a great quantity. The Bad: The sicillian crust was unforgivably dried out as if it had been over cooked. It also significantly lacked any seasoning which left it somewhat flavorless. The calzone sizes were inconsistent - both were larges, but take a look at the picture, and you’ll see one is noticeably smaller. And a really frustrating thing with the calzones is that they slammed a massive dollop or ricotta in the middle and none anywhere else. This ended up leaving me with a disgusting bite of pure ricotta once I got to the middle of my calzone. The calzones were pretty expensive, which would’ve been more acceptable if they both were the larger size and not one of them smaller than the other when we order both large."

"Wow. How had I never heard of this place? It’s on the strip with a billion other restaurants, but you can’t miss the Italian flag on the overhang out front. Inside its walls are dedicated to UNC players and other sports memorabilia. The atmosphere is inviting. The family behind the counter was great. Their (mom?) kept coming out and chatting with customers. They were extremely friendly and accommodating for our rather large party. The best part? THE PIZZA WAS AMAZING! The crust was so good. I will definitely be coming back and telling my friends and family about this place!"

"Just the best NY pizza in Chapel Hill. Just top shelf NY style Italian food and pizza. You just can’t go wrong with dinner here inside, patio/street side tables or just lugg it home!"

"We finally found parking and got there very close to time they close, 80 min before. We sat outside because I was cold with AC. But had to chugged my second wine glass as they needed to take glasses inside to close. This was past 9:30. As we had to wait for pizza to be ready. I Frank first glass during that time. Food was good."

"The smell was amazing and I was excited to try this place. The story is it’s the best on Franklin street. The food looked great. We got a pizza. But, while the topping were flavourful, the crust was like a dense loaf of enriched white bread. If they make a thin crust I will go back and try it. But I wasn’t happy with it. Sorry"
