Our goal was to serve a truly New York Pizza made with the same ingredients that my ancestors used back when the first NY pizza was made 100 years ago in New York City. Everything we make at The Original NY Pizza gets our undivided attention to detail and we make sure that all our food is consistent year after year. All our vegetables are fresh, not in a can and our dough is made daily on our premises. We pride ourselves in using the finest cheese and the best tomatoes for that fresh taste that our customers have come to expect. We offer a variety of specialties pizzas, Calzones, Strombolis, our own creation Pizza wraps, and our popular Sicilian Pizza. At The Original NY Pizza we love what we do, and it shows being the winners for BEST PIZZA 6 years running.

Just good pizza.

by Phil F. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 5,641

It does remind me of good New York pizza. Thin crust, dripping good cheese. Their lunch special is reasonable. I remember once stopping by after a late softball game. Even late, those guys were hustling. I must not be the only one who think of their slices late at night.

ny pizza

by townplace suites

I just ordered some calzones and stromboli and when they got here they were really tiny. I called and the manager on duty was awesome and very pleasant. He took care of me and made me feel better and actually changed my view and I will go back again. Overall I now look forward to my next experience.

Pros: Management is Spectacular!!!

Cons: Sizes are small

Best I've found

by jrmckins

I was born and raised in NY and have been in NC for 13 years now. This is the best Pizza I've had outside of NY and definitely the best I've had in NC. We searched for years to find a good pizza place and have settled on NY Pizza. We will occasionally stray and try somewhere else and are always disappointed. During my 13 years here I've been a "regular" at three of the four location (we've moved around the area a few times) and have eaten at all four. They are all very good.

Not every pizza is perfect but even a bad pie from here is better than a good pie from other places.

Pros: EXCELLENT Pizza. reminds me of the places I ate when I was a kid

Bst Pizza in Cary FOR SURE

by gdark

Awesome Pizza! What a refreshing find! A real pizza shop that delivers. Having grown weary of the chain pizza restaurants, I was beginning tht there was no place to get quality pizza in Cary. I happened upon this place and gave it a try. It is fantastic. Genuine fresh ingredients, VERY reasonable prices and home delivery are exactly what they have. All of the items on their menu are excellent. Delivery times can get a bit long at the dinner hour, but knowing that ahead of time, you can order a bit earlier. The staff is generally courteous and pleasant as I have only had one bad encounter with them when trying to phone in an order. They take pride in their quality. I had a burnt pizza delivered one time and the manager was more than accomodating to make it right. If you want a true NY style pizza, this is your only choice in Cary!

Pros: Authentic NY Pizza, fresh ingredients, high quality, reasonable prices

Cons: sometimes the delivery times are excessive

Excellent pizza, great customer service and community oriented too

by Gantt

This is simply GREAT pizza. I've lived in NC all my life, I have no idea how NY pizza should taste, but I do know how THIS pizza tastes and it's simply fabulous. In addition, the folks there help my Boy Scout troop twice a year with excellent discounts when we need to feed a lot of hungry boys in a hurry! I cannot speak highly enough about their excellent pizza and community service back to us. Really a great place. Please give them a try. Five stars is all I could give, but more are appropriate.

Pros: GREAT PIZZA

Cons: None

Best Pizza in NC...ny style

by moore003

Moved from Long Island to Fuquay-Varina a few months back.Looking for anything similiar to ny pizza down here. Found it!!!!! Holly Springs Crossings The Original N.Y. Pizza on Holly Springs Rd.Run don't walk hands down this is exactly like the pizza from up North.We had pepperoni(excellent) Mushroom(to die for) and plain cheese pizza all delicious.We also had bread sticks with melted mozzarella and a great dipping marinara sauce.So if you're from anywhere up North and know what great pizza should taste like you'll find it at The Original New York Pizza.Go and try it you won't be disappointed.We won't go anywhere else because we've found the best ... give it a try.

Pros: great ny style pizza,plenty of parking

Cons: none

Best Pizza in the Triangle!

by ctru

Best Pizza in the triangle.
I've searched high and low for great "N.Y. Style" Pizza in Raleigh and surrounding areas and so far there aren't many places that come close to the quality pies that NY Pizza makes. The crust is thin but thicker Sicilian crust pies are available as well. The atmosphere is nice and friendly. Every thing about this place screams NY, from the pictures of the twin towers to the Yankees, NY Pizza sets the tone fore a great dinning experience.

Just ok not NY pizza

by nydanv

The pizza was mediocre at best. No way is this NY pizza or a NY pizzeria atmosphere. First of all the dough is so very thin as plastic like, over cooked! Where are the specialty pies on display? Eggplant parm, buffalo chicken pizza, salad pizza, Marsala? How can you call this NY pizza when not one person in the place is Italian or speak Italian? Prices....1.99 for a slice of pizza? The most I have ever paid in NY was 1.75. This was a first and last time at this place. No good no good.

Pros: Speeding service. They had good table condiments. Garlic, oregano, hot pepper etc.

Cons: Pizza is supposed to be the breadwinner of a pizza business. Not good pizza.

Only one meal...

by donkeyhotay

If I can eat only one place in town, it would be NY Pizza.

These guys make the BEST pizza in town.

We don't even compare NY Pizza to other pizza places. My family made a top 10 list of our favorite restaurants. Each of us wrote our list. We all had places like Simpson's, Bloomsbury Bistro, and Nofo on the list, but right at the top of each list was NY Pizza.

If you're judging a restaurant on nothing but the quality and taste of the food, NY Pizza wins.

Pros: Great food.

Perfection

by swilezol

This is te best pizza in Raleigh. I'm from NJ, and true NY style pizza is impossible to find in other areas. This is the only place in Raleigh that has it right on the money! I'm truly impressed. there is no reason to eat pizza anywhere else.

Pros: Just like NY/NJ, great price

The BEST!!

by sam26

I have lived in the south for many, many years now -- but have never fogotten the pizza of my childhood. I have never found a place down here that made pizza as I remembered it -- until I ate at New York Pizza. This place is the best (and, please, don't compare it to Lilly's Pizza -- they're two entirely different styles!). Always friendly service, but, more importantly -- the greatest pizza around!

Ohhhhhhhhhh, baby!

by MacG

Great Sicilian Pizza- thick delicous crust, with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. The big round thin crust pies are probably just above average, although the fresh crust is very good. The best pizza I've found in Cary in the 7 years I've been here. Having moved from a town in the Northeast where there are a lot of great Italian restaurants and pizza joints, it was great to find NY Pizza! The owners of other pizza restaurants in the Triangle need to stop by NY Pizza to find out how to do it right.
Great for take out, as the ambience is typical storee-front pizza store. Easy to find from anywhere in the triangle, just off I-40, the Harrison Ave. exit.

Pros: best sicilain pizza, convenient to I-40

For the best old fashioned NY style pizza, this is the place. I moved to the Triangle from the NY/NJ area last year and this pizza is just like pizza from home.

The BEST pizza I have ever had--No lie

by OpsGod

This pizza is just as good as the pizza you would find in New York City (hence the name, I guess). My entire family is hooked on this pizza--and they are from the North East. I don't live in Cary any longer, but always make it a point to stop by and eat a slice (or the whole pie) when I'm in town.
DON'T MISS THIS PIZZA!

Pros: Price, Taste, Quality

Cons: Closed Sunday
