Great vegetarian toppings, organic veggies and dough, crazy fun atmosphere. I wouldn't dare do pizza night anywhere else!

Their pizza was not only great, but we made a mistake and asked for delivery (when in fact we were picking it up). The poor delivery guy waited for us for 20 minutes and was very understanding. The pizza was still hot!

Pros: delivery guy was awesome!!

Lilly's offers a great atmosphere, delicious fresh ingredients and good service. I wish there were more restaurants in the triangle that offer all three with other kinds of food.

Pros: Fresh ingredients and great experience

Cons: Outdoor seating on Glenwood Ave

The pizza is great, one of the best in Raleigh. Lilly's has a great selection of toppings. The atmosphere, people, and employs are eccentric, which is kind of cool and a nice change of scenery. If you like the garbage at Pizza Hut this is not your place.

Awesome. A loud, lively, and crowded atmosphere only goes to show how much others enjoy the food and the restaurant. Jump in line, grab a seat, and enjoy some of the best pizza in town. GO TO LILLY'S!

Pros: Awesome pizza and salads!

Cons: None.

The pizza is very good, but New York style pizza lovers will be disappointed if you go expecting NY. It definitely has its own style-- the dough is thick, the cheese is very dense, and the sauce is a bit on the sweet side. Definitely recommended, although I don't think I would go as far as saying best in Raleigh.

Pros: Fresh & organic

Cons: sauce a bit sweet

Our pizza is a phenomenal gastronomic experience! We make everything by hand daily from only fresh, all natural, and organic ingredients. We love pizza, and most people love us! Truly, Jon & the Crew!

The Cowtipper is a fantastic pizza, and the salads are great. However, they're kind of jerky when it comes to delivery. We got delivery no fewer than 4 times, then we called in an order and they said that there was a note saying that our house was now out of the delivery area. They deliver to the neighborhood just north of us and to the neighborhood just south of us. Hmmm. Their staff generally has a too-cool-for-school attitude, and they've never been friendly. Too bad.

Pros: Delicious food

Cons: Snottyness

We love our pizza too!

The entire staff reviewed this comment and agreed to improve our communications over the phone. Please note that our delivery area is limited to a small geography from the restaurant in an effort to improve our delivery times. Truly, Jon & The Crew

This place is extremely loud, so forget about any meaningful conversation with your friends. Service is confusing, and it seems the employees don't care. The guy who took my order moved on to the next customer without giving me my drinks. I had to go back to the counter TWICE to get someone's attention so I could get my drinks. 30 minutes later, the first pizza on my order arrived. 30 minutes after that, the second pizza on the SAME ORDER still had not been put in the oven yet because "someone lost the ticket." How did they lose 1/2 of an electronic ticket? When I complained, the manager told me to "come back when we aren't so busy." No one ever bothered to say they were sorry about the way were treated. Don't worry; we won't be back. Ever.

I personally investigated this and you are not telling the complete truth. No one ever told you to "come back..." Could it be that you were taking a bad day out on our staff? Truly, Jon & the Crew

A regular to this institution, I find the eclectic staff and surroundings an interesting and tasteful variance from the chains. The staff has ALWAYS taken extra care with my orders! I'll definitely return and grab a dante's inferno!

Pros: Interesting Art, Eclectic Staff, DELICIOUS Pizza

Cons: Parking, Noisy

This Place Doesn’t Appreciate Frequent Customers. I used to eat at Lilly’s three or four times a week. Once I complained (to the owner) about not getting any extra topping I had paid for- and he could have cared less. I had eaten the same pizza many- many times. I still go- because the pizza is really good -but rarely now. I think the ownership thinks they have made It and can treat the customers anyway they like.

Editor's Review

Hip little Lilly lays it on thick with everything from pesto to oysters.  See the full editorial review.

There is very limited street parking, instead, turn down Fairview and pull in the Wachovia lot (after banking hours only).
