Oakwood Pizza Box

Great gluten free pizza spot in downtown Raleigh. Delicious 18 inch white & cheese pizzas. Beware that there is only one size pizzas here. There are no personal pizzas or sizes smaller than 18 inches. If you want to dine in, get here early to secure a spot or swing by to put your name on their waiting list. Seating is limited so it fills up quickly. Parking may also be limited as it is street parking.

Praise be. 9.9 out of 10! I witnessed a Miracle on 12/15/2023, first table, 8:45pm. I ordered a pepperoni, jalapeño, honey circle boy, ate it, and went to heaven happy. Life is complete and I fully understand my purpose on earth. Do yourself a favor. PS my fiance is a herbivore and also enjoyed it. Win win.

Overall Rating (1-10): 5.5 The takeaway experience from Oakwood Pizza Box was slightly disappointing given the high expectations set by its Google reviews. The limited menu also lessens the likelihood of a repeat visit. Takeout Process (1-10): 4.8 The online menu was straightforward, and the convenience of Apple Pay meant no extra information was needed for the order. Although there was clear communication about pickup time, having to wait outside was not the warmest welcome. The pizza being lukewarm on collection, having been left on a metal rack, was a downside. However, the separate packaging of fresh basil was a nice touch. 18" Red Pie (1-10): 5.9 This pizza stood out with its high-quality sauce and the perfect amount of tasty cheese. The major drawback was the dough, which was overly chewy and tough, not matching the well-cooked underside of the pizza. Value (1-10): 7.9 The price of $20 for an 18" pizza of such quality seemed fair and represented good value.

Best pizza in Raleigh. Been coming here for years and not only is it great, it’s consistent. Pizza comes out fast and hot and the basil is fresh. Nicest staff always, even when there are new faces on the crew. Waiter knows me by name! Open kitchen that’s customer facing so you can see the ingredients and the process. Great beer and wine as well

Joe sent me, and he was there Friday for lunch too. The square pizza was the bomb dot com. The perfect pepperoni coverage, perfectly crisp crust with the right amount of crunch and chew. The cheese was perfectly melt-y with the right amount of stretch. Bottom line, it was delicious. Staff was friendly, felt just like a family joint.

Oakwood has phenomenal pizza. We’ve been twice now. First time we went we were able to sit immediately which made me skeptical but after tasting the pizza I was hooked. We went again yesterday and had to wait almost an hour to get seated. The pizza was just as good as the first time. This place really has their stuff together- everyone from the pizza makers to the servers does a phenomenal job. Just wanted to say thank you to all involved that make this place great.

Food, service and atmosphere was all great! Very limited seating is the only drawback for me. We arrived early so wasn’t a problem for our party of 6, and staff was super nice and pushed tables together. We ordered one cheese pizza, one white pizza with mushrooms, & olives, and one cheese/sausage/olive pizza. Ranked in order#1- plain cheese! Just a great sauce that wasn’t disguised by other topping flavors, #2 was white and #3 was sausage. Crust was thin and crispy, very nicely done and sauce was delicious. Also ordered the Reg. Caesar and it fed 4 adults. The price is good for such a large, delicious pizza. Highly recommend! Parking: beware of the “permit needed after 4 pm” areas. Don’t get towed! There’s a pay to park lot 1 block away if you can’t find free street parking. Gotta work off those pizza carbs anyway right?
