Anna’s Pizzeria

Anna’s Pizzeria keeps historic downtown Fuquay-Varina fed with New York-style pies and red-sauce favorites served in a lively, family-friendly dining room. Guests slide into booths or gather around large tables while full-service staff keeps the pace easy for lunch and dinner crowds. House heritage and Aunt Anna’s recipes drive the menu that has anchored the restaurant since 1986.

Fresh pizza dough is mixed daily, sauces simmer on the stove, and the kitchen pulls fresh mozzarella to top specialties like the Anna’s Special brick-oven pie. The same scratch approach powers staples such as garlic knots, chicken Parmigiana, veal Marsala, and Penne ala Anna’s, making it a dependable stop for hearty Italian comfort food. Families with picky eaters gravitate toward the expansive menu that stretches from personal pizzas to made-to-order stromboli and kids’ pastas.

An approachable beer and wine list, with seasonal pours, pairs well with platters meant for sharing, while convenient takeout and catering keep neighborhood gatherings stocked without stress. Anna’s longtime popularity earned it Best Pizzeria honors in the 2025 Main & Broad Maggy Awards. Whether dining in or grabbing a pie to go, patrons find genuine hospitality that reflects the owner’s Italian family roots.
