The Pizza Place - Winston-Salem: Authentic NY-Style Pizza & Gourmet Slices

I had never heard of this place before, as we live about 20 minutes away, but thought I'd check it out with another great Elite event! I brought my two daughters with me and asked for their honest review. In short, they both said they loved it and would go again! I would agree. The pizza seemed (though I'm not a native) authentic NY-style pizza. The pizza was hot and fresh and I got the chance to teach my girls how to fold the pizza while you eat it. Service was fast and friendly and I was impressed at how many other choices there were besides just pizza. My only wish is that this place was a little closer, because a 40 minute round trip is a little far for a quick pizza dinner. All in all, a great spot and thanks for Elite week to show me a new place to try - and love!

???? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????? Today, my family and I visited this fine establishment. We put in an order of two large pizzas - one Margherita one Meat Lover’s, buffalo wings, and garlic knots. The wait was standard for fresh baked pies, and so we eagerly anticipated our lunch as we were all a little hungry. The food arrived. Piping hot. Looking fresh. Smelling wonderful. Immediately, we dug in like people who love really good pizza eating really great pizza at a restaurant. I started with the wings, and they were standard, thoroughly sauced buffalo wings. Next I had a garlic knot - unbelievable outside crust of buttery toasty bread yielding to a soft and doughy center. After my first bite, the garlic and oil that sat on the top side of my roll made it’s presence known, to which I will say I personally think there’s room for it to be stronger and more pungent. All that dipped in a fresh marinara sauce, and I knew that I was in good hands when i went to try the main dish: The Pizza. First up, Meat Lover’s - Sausage, Pepperoni, Ham, ever heard of them? Not like this you haven’t. Rich, well seasoned meats blending seamlessly with the cheesy pie with golden crust. And the sauce just acting like a bridge for those two worlds to mesh into a fantastic hearty meal. It was devoured in a flash, crust dipped into the marinara as is the way. Last but most certainly not least, Margherita - Imagine a summer day on the Amalfi coast of Italy. Yeah, that’s what we’re talking here, the sauce was fresher than a Listerine popsicle. I guarantee you those tomatoes were well sourced. Dollops of gently spaced apart circles of mozzarella cheese polka-dotting the rich red tomato sauce. And then the final factor, the crunch of the crust underneath. You could hear this crust from a mile away. You know the tree that fell in the forest and made a sound? They are c-o-u-s-i-n-s. Everything that was left was gone, in the end and we left fundamentally changed. Local, affordable, and delicious restaurant I will most definitely return to! Exactly what the world needs right now! The staff behind the counter was very kind! Please go here, enjoy it, and go back!

Cute small little shop tucked in this strip mall off Silas creek. I came here with coworkers for the 2 gourmet slice/drink special for $9. Hard to get a lunch anywhere for under $10 and the fact that you get to mix and match specialty flavors is really nice. I got the buffalo chicken and works (meat and veggies). Service was fast and friendly, slices came out in about 5 minutes. Overall would recommend and will definitely be back. The slices are gigantic, lasted me a couple more meals as leftovers. (I actually weirdly enjoy slicing them up into halves or thirds so they're just really long thin portions for me!)

I work in Winston but live about 40 minutes from the area. I am happy to have discovered a new place that has an easily accessible location with plenty of parking that I can hit after work or on lunch break. I visited about 5:30 in the evening on Saturday. I got my order to go as I had somewhere I'd committed to being. As I was leaving more and more patrons were pouring in, which is telling! I got the large Greek salad and added grilled chicken. I am pleased with the packaging and taste of the food. I will definitely be back to try other menu items!

It’s a little hole in the wall of a joint but the food is amazing! The pizza was fresh, crust nice and crispy. Garlic knots crispy on the outside but nice and soft on the inside. Garlicky without being soaked in oil. The cannoli was also very yummy

Non-local visitor: I was looking for a good, high rated local pizza place in the area when I came across this restaurant. It was giving small hole in the wall pizza shop with a mall food court vibe. What enticed me to try it out, was the slice and drink special for $9. All of the prices here are very reasonable, but you get what you pay for. The inside of the restaurant was very clean and the staff members were nice and accommodating of my vegetarian request. I decided to go for the Garlic Knots($4), Small Cesar salad($5), and I chose a slice of cheese and then I created my own veggie with spinach, onions and peppers. The 2 slices came with a drink($9). The garlic knots were good. The salad was mediocre at best with wilted and turning lettuces, and powdered Parmesan cheese. However the dressing was good and that saved the salad. The cheese pizza was good, but I did have to doctor it up a little bit and the veggie pizza was interesting to say the least and it had to be doctored up as well. Overall, I would come back to this restaurant again to grab a few slices and some knots, when I'm in the area again.

First timer. My daughter and I went for a slice and it was delicious. Very affordable. 2 slices and drink was about $10.00. Staff was very nice, brought our food out and the restaurant was very clean.
