Celebrate Deep Dish Pizza With the Best in North Carolina—A Must-Try Hotspot for Pizza Lovers

This deep-dish pizza is so delightfully delicious—and authentic—that you'll swear you've landed in the Windy City.

Pizza and North Carolina go hand-in-hand. And you won't just find one style here; the Tar Heel State is home to authentic Neopolitan pies, New York-style thin crust, and even Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. In fact, if you're looking for that thick, buttery crust filled to the brim with cheese, sauce, and other toppings, we invite you to visit Acme Pizza Co., an absolute must for pizza lovers.

The owners of Acme Pizza Co., JP and Gwynne, met while they were working at a Chicago-style pizzeria in San Francisco. Inspired by their love for all things pizza, the couple and their family moved across the country to open their own restaurant. Though they had never been before, they quickly fell in love with Holly Springs, and it soon became their home. Today, Acme Pizza Co. is a neighborhood favorite, and the award-winning pizza speaks for itself.

On the menu, you'll find a delightful assortment of appetizers, salads, calzones, sandwiches, and, of course, pizza. We'd recommend ordering a round of Killer Garlic Knots—they're slathered in garlic butter and delightfully soft on the inside—or Fried Ravioli for the table before moving on to a specialty pie. The Acme Classic is a deep-dish pizza crafted with sweet Italian sausage, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and mozzarella cheese. There are seven additional deep-dish varieties to choose from, ranging from vegetarian and white pizza to classic cheese. If you're not in the mood for Chicago-style, there are hand-tossed varieties available, too.

Folks rave about the quality of the pizzas here; they are about as authentic as it gets. But more than just delicious pie, Acme Pizza Co. is loved for its top-notch service. Whether you're a local or stopping by on a visit, you'll be welcomed like a regular here.

Acme Pizza Co. in Holly Springs is open daily between 11:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. There's also a location in Morrisville. Have you had the chance to visit Acme Pizza Co.? If not, be sure to send this article to a fellow pizza lover, and start planning your outing!
