In 1993, three ambitious musicians opened a delivery/carryout-only pizza joint in the empty space of a former biker bar. They called their delicious creations 'Lilly's Pizza' after Benji Shelton's four-legged companion. Hungry fans couldn't get enough and began bringing lawn chairs just to sit outside with Lilly and enjoy her Damn Good Pizza! With time, chairs & tables became standard along with local art, interesting music, and the continuing dynamic of Raleigh history.

The crew hopes you enjoy our online MENU! Note the Coupon Specials and Artist's Gallery. Some recent additions to the menu include our aged sharp white cheddar, delicious sweets made by Francesca's, and our growing supply of organic and all natural foods.

The space where Lilly's is located was once a popular biker's bar, The Office Tavern! Upstairs, the 'Cotillion Club', a private dance club, made it's home. Jim Durham, the landlord, says that "when students were practicing the 'Bunny Hop', dust would come a flyin' " through cracks in the wooden floor above.

Other interesting neighbors include the "Chicken Shack" located where the 3rd Place Coffee House is now. Local college students poured in 'by the dozens' to grab a cheap, homecooked meal. Where NOFO is now located was once the famed Piggly Wiggly Grocery Store with its blue collar lunch counter.

Lilly's continues to offer healthy alternatives to the norm, all of which are hand prepared in our restaurant Daily. Our goal is to provide you with the most natural and organic opportunities while creating the most delicious pizzas imaginable. And, we have a little fun along the way!

You may pick one of our delicious Specialties, or choose to create your own favorite Veggie, Vegan (our dough contains trace amounts of clover honey), or Meat dish. We also offer a large selection of Salads, Snacks, Strombolis, Zones, and Lasagnas.

Our produce is hand selected daily by Touch of Green Organic Produce, Melvin's Gardens, and Blue Sky Farms. Many produce and non-produce ingredients are Certified Organic or are Organically Grown; anything else is purely natural. We make our dough Daily with Organic All-Wheat Flour stone ground freshly for Lilly's by Lindley Mills, Eli Whitney, NC. Our homemade Tomato Sauce is done with only organic veggies and certified organic vine-ripened tomatoes. All of our Chicken and Beef toppings are cut fresh to order by Cliff's Meat Market, Carrboro, NC and are completely natural; they have NO antibiotics, added hormones, coloring agents, or preservatives. And in our store, drink pure NC spring water.

If you have any special dietary considerations, (lactose intolerant, diabetic, food allergies, etc..) please discuss your order with our manager. Ask. Anything is possible!

Lilly's delivers our entire Menu including Beverages starting at 5pm daily. We enjoy delivering large orders during lunch hours given advance notice.

We hope you enjoy the difference a locally owned, independent restuarant makes in your community! As Always, Your business and comments are appreciated!

Lilly's is located at 1813 Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh's Five Points.
