We had moved our son into his apartment at NC State, and grabbed a quick dinner before heading back home. It’s definitely a bar environment, but the food? Wow! We ended up going late, but the portions, the ingredients, and the taste were spot on. You’re gonna think this is silly, but they had to be the best french fries I’ve had anywhere! I love when they put the crispiness on the outside, these were cooked perfectly. The salads were simple, we had regular and Greek, great dressing, very flavorful. My sons calzone was huge! He said it tasted great as well. He said that it was going to be one of his favorite spots to eat. Just a reminder when you go in you have to order upfront and then try to find a seat. We grabbed a table in the back, but there was plenty of outdoor seating, and it was all covered. Cannot wait to try the wings, maybe a Philly cheesesteak next time. Oh, and they had a 97 score, which was great!
It's a cozy little joint, with good food. I'd definitely go back if I was in the area and craving a New York style. Garlic knots needed more garlic, but they were still delicious and crunchy yet soft inside. The pizza was giant and very good, I couldn't even finish the two slices I ordered. Also shout-out to the chef making the pizzas the night I went, he was kind enough to make me another slice after I left my to go box on the table.
I went with my daughter to try Ruckus Avent Ferry Road for the first time. With so many great pizza joints in Raleigh it’s hard to know. A cross between a neighborhood bar and a student bar, Ruckus has seriously good pizza. What’s more, they care. When our pizza was delivered, the manager (I believe he was a manager) said he made ours with one minor wrong ingredient—white instead of red onions. He apologized and immediately made a complete new pizza with the correct ingredients. He apologized again and made sure we were happy. You can’t discount this kind of service. It’s rare these days and greatly appreciated. The beer was cold. The salad was fresh and the pizza was excellent. I will return to Ruckus and recommend Ruckus for adults too.
Amazing Food and Drinks. Outstanding service even short staffed they took the time to acknowledge us and everyone worked as a team. The menu had so many options, we tried a little bit of everything and shared.Picture of the Tuna Nachos, a must try
Visiting from out of state and was wanting some pizza, we decided to stop here and we are so glad we did! For the price, the amount of food you get is awesome! We got the 18” ultimate and it was huge. Would recommended to anyone 10/10

Super friendly people and delicious food! Great atmosphere here and will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area. I saw a sign advertising a 24inch pizza challenge and so we ordered a 24inch pizza to scope it out. It is massive and I've got no chance to finish it alone.
Great atmosphere, very friendly employees, the owner was so helpful as well. The restaurant is clean and the food delicious.
Never had any bad food here!
I personally enjoy the Phillies and the pizza.
It's a full bar, with some good beers.
It is smaller than you would think inside the place, but the crowd is usually friendly. They have a large patio area.
The service is always on their game, friendly, polite, efficient.
Great place for an inexpensive delicious meal. Pizza slices as big as your face, fries crispy as anything, delicious drinks. The staff is friendly and the events are always fun. Great place to watch the Canes! Their rewards system is top notch as well. Couldn't ask for more.
