Anna’s Pizzeria

★★★★☆ (4 stars out of 5)

New York-style pizza right in historic downtown Apex

Food is top-notch. Atmosphere is just right for a “neighborhood pizza joint.” The restaurant itself is a bit cramped; if you’re overweight, you may have difficulty getting in and out of your seat and navigating between other tables. Used to give free garlic knots when you sat down; now they give you plain bread and you have to pay for the good stuff. Overall, it’s a winner.
