The Original N.Y. Pizza

Anchoring the Harrison Square center just off Harrison Avenue, The Original N.Y. Pizza has been serving Cary since 1991 with a focus on classic New York-style pies made with premium Wisconsin cheese, freshly packed Italian tomatoes, and dough mixed daily in-house. The storefront sits behind McDonald’s near Bass Pro Shops, making it an easy stop for families headed through the busy retail corridor.

Hand-tossed pies come in both traditional rounds and thick Sicilian squares, alongside strombolis, calzones, and the signature Panetto—a hybrid of pressed panini and baked stromboli—designed for hearty, portable meals. Specialty pizzas spotlight combinations from veggie-forward white pies to meat lover’s favorites, each built on that chewy, foldable crust and a restrained swipe of house sauce. Flexible portion sizes and hearty fillings make it easy to feed individuals or larger groups.

Lunch and dinner service runs daily, and the team supports busy schedules with easy call-ahead takeout, online ordering, and neighborhood delivery coverage. Those conveniences pair with a reputation earned by Cary Magazine’s Maggy Awards, where the pizzeria has been recognized among the area’s best. Whether you’re planning a family pizza night or grabbing a quick bite between errands, the Harrison Square crew keeps the focus on consistency, fresh ingredients, and friendly service.
