Oakwood Pizza Box

Don't go there! ... because I don't want to wait in line. It's the best food, not just pizza, best food in Raleigh. On par with best pizza I've ever had. Absurd when anyone argues there's another pizza place to go to in the triangle like c'mon. - exNYer

I've been meaning to try this place for years and we finally did it. Wow! It's everything I grew up on back in the northeast. We got the square pizza (without any arguments about the 12x18 dimensions). We did half pepperoni and half pepper & onion. It was amazing! Great crust, fantastic flavors, and perfect overall balance. The only flaw, and it was acceptable given everything else, is that the crust was a bit soggy in the middle. I accept that to get the sauce level and other toppings it provides though I think it could benefit from a Roman style double bake approach. Still, one of the best pizzas I've had in NC. We'll be back!

Giving this a 3.5/5 because these slices did not wow me. Maybe I didn't order the correct thing on the menu, but I feel like the pizza could've been a bit better! Heads up! They only offer slices on the weekend before 3pm and they only have three flavors.. cheese, pepperoni, and white sauce. I was bummed that they didn't offer any other unique flavors as slices. I wish the pizza was more flavorful. This was just an average plain pizza. Escape from New York Pizza has better slices.This would've been a 5 star if the crust was softer and less chewy, more added flavor like making these pizza saucier... alsoooo adding hot honey on their menu as a size sauce. Most importantly they forgot my ranch :(.

Yum! I've been wanting to try this place for a while. The ambiance is so cozy - it's small and has limited seating, but that honestly adds to the overall feel of the place. Truly makes me feel like I'm in a city city I sat at the bar with my friend and we ordered the cheese pizza and added pepperoni to half. I LOVE that it comes with basil already on it. The pizza itself was good - crisp crust, perfect cheese to sauce ratio, and fresh tasting ingredients. Would I say it's the best pizza I've ever had? Probably not. But it's still a great option and worth a visit!

My husband and I went for the first time the other night, and we sat in. We were so excited to the white pizza because we are suckers for ricottaaaaaaa. Our waitress was nice, and the wait time to get a table was a bit long (40 mins for 2), but waiting for the pizza to get to our table wasn't too long. Sadly, it didn't meet our expectations. I think next time we'll try the regular (red sauce) pizza (there were lotttttts of people ordering takeout). To our surprise, the leftover pizza slices actually tasted BETTER on the car ride home after it had sat to steam in the cardboard box for a few minutes. It wasn't as dry and jaw-tiringly chewy as it was in the restaurant. So next time we will be doing takeout the white pizza itself was just so thin, sauceless, and crunchy. I am a sauce girl, and a dollops-of-cheese- kind of girl. There weren't dollops of cheese, it was more just a lot of shredded cheeses melted over the crust. We agreed it'll be a while before we come back, but we will eventually. We will have to find a different place for white pizza, though. Nonetheless, the neighborhood this is in is super cute, and we enjoyed walking around and going to Krispy Kreme while we waited for a table.

We decided to check out this place after it being highly recommended by the owner of NY bagels in Cary. We ordered the super crispy square pizza with olives and Calabrian chilis. We actually forgot to mention extra sauce but it already was perfectly saucy. The pizza was amazing!! There's a tiny menu so not a whole lot to choose from. This is the only reason I docked a star. I wish I was able to make a few customizations. Especially removing the meat off the salad. As a vegetarian the salads looked great, but they had meat as a default. I wish they also had additional beverage choices or at least fountain beverages. We'll definitely be back as the service was amazing. There's not much seating so maybe take out and taking it to pullen park would be a great outing idea. We'll see when the time comes. And it definitely will!

Love the vibe of this place, the service was great! I did like the pizza although it wasn't the best white pie I've ever had, with that being said I will definitely come back.

I love their pizza! We don't order it randomly - it's usually when we have people over or want a special dinner. I love how fresh it is!

Hands down, my favorite pizza in Raleigh. Pizza seems authentic, with both thin crust, and the coveted square thick crust. I prefer thin, and my partner prefers square. Cool, low key, and casual vibes. The staff are down to earth and helpful with a bit of an edge encouraged of any respectable and legitimate pizza place. We usually pickup, however, it's great for an easy date night, pre-concert, game, or name your outing. The wine is great, nothing pretentious, just quality. And the pizza is something you'd expect from somewhere renowned for pizza (I dare not mention any city or else someone will throw tomatoes at me). All in all, one of our favorite places in the Triangle.

Best pizza ever! I moved from West Coast back to 'home' on East Coast...Worth the wait on line.This is the REAL DEAL!
