We weren’t huge fans of their infamous Caesar salad wedge. A little pricey, but the pizza was fantastic! We’ll definitely order pizza from them again (but to go). Space to eat-in is very limited; we were nearly rubbing elbows with the table next to us. Our waitress was friendly, offered suggestions, and was knowledgeable about the menu.

Decided to try this place out based on the high reviews, but it's definitely overhyped. There are much better pizza options out there, and i’m not sure I would compare this to a NY style pizza. While the sauce was tasty, the crust was too hard, the cheese was sparse, and the pepperoni had curled into cups but were rather soggy and had pools of grease in the middle. Also it gets crowded here, im surprised we were able to get a bar spot. Seems like you need to make reservations beforehand.

I've heard of this place for months when people talk about authentic pizza. Living in NC for my entire life I can't speak on that but what I can tell you is if I had ate it at the restaurant vs delivery I do believe it would have been the best pizza I've ever had in my life and I'm 53. Kudos to the Oakwood Team!

Knew someone had to be from New York, so I asked! The owner is from Long Island, and this definitely tastes like true New York style pizza. Comparable to Joe’s on E 14th in NYC or Home Slice in Austin, TX. An absolute must try if you miss NYC pizza and live in the area.

My older brother hooked me up with this pizza place in Downtown Raleigh and this pizza was amazing. Especially the white pizza as with the regular pizza with tomato sauce. I even told the chefs that I really liked the pizza they made. I always love NY Style Pizza. And the back of the pizza box the staff was boxing up for DoorDash and takeouts has a great reference to Donkey Kong from 1981. Definitely coming back on my next downtown Raleigh trip.
