It’s been brought to my attention that we don’t know the official name of AC’s new pizza place.
- Poolside Pie
- Pooleside Pie
- Poole’side Pies
Let’s crowdsource this and get it right. Anyone have a SOLID source?

I mean ever since they opened the Durham store, it seemed as if the Raleigh store’s quality has decreased (IMO).
Looks like the N+O reporting recently and a FB page have it as Poole’side Pies
This coming from the Indy article, so take it with a grain of salt.
" Where does Poole’side Pies fit into the landscape?
Ashley then proceeds to say ““Poole’side” because it’s next to Poole’s”
After looking at the plans closer it appears they will be installing a large Skylight into the roof of the building.
The company they picked is Kalwall Skylighting, and looking at the shape so far appears to be triangular in shape, which might look similar to this.
Also if we are considering just outside of Downtown for Pizza. Capital Creations near Dock 1053 is extremely underrated

I’m a NY style pizza type of guy. My wife and I were in Rome on vacation last year and she was anxious to know what I thought of authentic pizza. I actually preferred the pizza in NY.
Here’s some mockups of Poole’side Pies

Hmm…definitely not what I was expecting, but I’m sure it’ll be top notch.
They don’t have anchovies. Gotta have anchovies.

Hard to find a good pie south of Jersey.
To each their own and nostalgia plays a part but to say you can’t find good pizza outside ‘place X’ seems not so true anymore…
I’ve had good pies outside areas defined as ‘meccas’ and I’ve had pies that were serviceable but nothing to exhault from places that were touted as benchmarks. It’ll be interesting to see what Poole’side brings to bear - seems to lean Neopolitan. I think there’s good pies coming out of PizzaBox in Oakwood, Frank’s, Lilly’s ITB. I think Cristo’s and Farina are solid pies north and that Pesky Chicken from Capital Creations is bomb! Faulisi and Toro are worth a visit over to Cary or Durham respectively.

There are a few exceptions, but the general rules holds when it comes to pizza. Just like Barbeque sux up north.
Honestly I can put a pork tenderloin in a crock pot, pull it with 2 forks, and add a bottle of decent BBQ sauce after, and it’s better than 90% of the “amazing authentic” BBQ I’ve had down here. And I like and hate pizza I’ve had all over. It’s almost like it’s subjective!

Sounds like you made some nice pulled pork, but that isn’t barbeque. Barbeque requires a dry heat source, and some level of smoke. Those requirements are the constant from whole hog, to pork shoulder, ribs, brisket, or whatever other protein you would choose to cook this way. I apologize for being overly nit-picky, but this is a hill I’m willing to die on.

Yeah cooking pork in a crock pot is not barbecue. Might taste delicious. But it’s not barbecue.
