I've been going to Lilly's since I was in secondary school, and, without a shadow of a doubt, it's my favorite casual restaurant in Raleigh. If one's looking for a pie in the Neapolitan mold, Lilly's isn't the...

How trendy! Style over Substance! How could you rate Raleigh's best pizza without even ranking Andy's? Oh, I guess it's just to basic for the "upper crust".

I didn't even think I liked pizza, at least not until I tried Lilly's. The best thing is, other than the fact that it's a great pizza at a great price, is that it's consistently great at both locations.
