AN AWESOME WAY TO SPEND THE DAY. CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE AND SEE ALL OF THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO YOUR. >> WELCOME TO OAKWOOD PIZZA BOX. WE ARE A FAMILY PIZZERIA WHERE WE REALLY FIXATE ON EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PIZZA FROM THE FLOWER ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE INGREDIENTS AND EVEN MORE. A LOT OF WAYS, OAKWOOD PIZZA BOX IS A REFLECTION OF MY LIFE. REALLY WANTED TO MAKE THIS A CLASSIC PIZZA PLACE THAT I USED TO SEE WHAT I WAS LITTLE. THIS IS BEEN A DREAM OF MINE FOR A WHILE, TO COME BACK TO PIZZA AND DO IT AGAIN AND APPLY A LOT OF THE LESSONS I LEARNED ALONG THE WAY. THE PIZZA IS 18 INCHES ON THE ROUND. THEN, THERE IS THE SQUARE. THE SQUARE ITSELF IS ITS OWN MONSTER. THOSE ARE DELICIOUS. CRUNCHY EDGES. A LITTLE BIT MORE WELL DONE AND COMES OVER THE SIDE FOR THE PERFECT BITE THAT HAS BECOME A LEGENDARY ITEM. THOSE ARE ONES WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND ORDERING EARLY BECAUSE WE CAN ONLY MAKE A CERTAIN AMOUNT. >> THIS IS ALL ABOUT PEPPERONI PIZZA IN A LOT OF WAYS. EACH INGREDIENT IS HERE FOR A REASON. WE TRY TO BE MINIMALIST IN EVERYTHING WE DO. IS NOT THE TYPE OF TOMATO WE BUY, IT'S LOTS OF TOMATOES. WE ACTUALLY ALTER THE WAY WE MAKE SAUCE. ARE CHEESE IS WHOLE MILK. THERE'S NO ADDITIVES IN THE CHEESE, NO PRESERVATIVES. SO WE HAVE TO KEEP THE STOCK ROTATING VERY QUICKLY. THE PEKKA RINNE IS COMING OUT OF SARDINIA. THAT WILL BE AGED ABOUT A YEAR. THAT GOES ON BEFORE WE PUT THE PIZZA WITH THE MOZZARELLA. WHAT COMES OUT OF THE OVEN, WE USE GARLIC AGED 18-24 MONTHS. IT'S LIKE PARMESAN, REALLY WHAT ROUNDS OUT THE FLAVOR AND COMPLETES ITS. THE PEPPERONI WILL CHART UP. MOST LIKE A PIECE OF BACON WHERE YOU GET THE LITTLE CRUNCHY RING AND A LITTLE POOL OF GREASE IN THERE. THAT IS THAT SPICY, CRUNCHY, SAVORY, EVERYTHING YOU NEED OUT OF A PEPPERONI PIZZA. PEOPLE TRAINED AT A BUNCH UNDER PETER IS NOT THAT GOOD. THE OPPOSITE OF THIS DOCTRINE, WE TRY TO TAKE THINGS OFF AND I BET YOU WILL ENJOY IT EVEN MORE. THERE IS REALLY NOT A WRONG WAY TO DO OAKWOOD PIZZA BOX. THERE IS NOTHING ON THE MENU THAT I WOULD NOT . I HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF WHAT I LEARNED AT HIGH-END RESTAURANTS AND DISTILL THAT INTO HERE. WE HAVE A RESERVE LIST, A CHAMPAGNE LIST. A WINE LIST. A BURGUNDY LIST. A LOT OF THINGS THAT PAIR REALLY WELL WITH PIZZA. CHAMPAGNE WORKS REALLY WELL WITH PIZZA. BECAUSE OF THE ACIDITY. OF COURSE YOU HAVE THE EFFECT THE CHEESES, THE AGE CHEESES IN PARTICULAR THAT MAKES CHAMPAGNE PARTICULAR GREAT WITH PIZZA. FOR ME, IT'S ALL ABOUT SEEING THAT HAPPY. WHEN YOU HAVE A GLASS OF WINE OR A BOTTLE OF WINE AND SPIRITS WITH THE PIZZA, AND, IT MAKES IT SING AND DANCE, IT'S A REALLY FUN THING. THE NEWEST VENTURE IS LITTLE PIZZA BOX AT THE BREWERY IN DURHAM. LITTLE PIZZA BOX CAME AS A JOKE. THEN HE ACTUALLY CAME TO ME AND SAID I WILL MAKE A PIZZA PLACE, LET'S DO IT. IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF FUN EVER SINCE. IT'S TRICKY. ALMOST LIKE HAVING A FOOD TRUCK. THE PIZZA IS DIFFERENT. 14" PIZZAS. THEY GO BACK TO WOODFIRED PIZZA I THINK IT'S OUTSTANDING AND IT WORKS. YOU KNOW THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS TO GO TO THE WEBSITE. TO ORDER THE PIE, YOU CAN EVEN SCHEDULE AHEAD OF TIME. IF YOU WANT TO PICK UP AT 7:00 GO TO THE OAKWOOD PIZZA BOX WEBSITES. WE ARE LOCATED IN RALEIGH.
