Ruckus Pizza, Pasta & Spirits

Ruckus Pizza, Pasta & Spirits keeps Apex’s Pine Plaza buzzing with the casual energy its founders have championed since 1999. The locally grown concept welcomes guests into a lively dining room where great music and attentive staff make it easy to linger for lunch, dinner, or a late-night hangout, with hours extending to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

The kitchen sends out pizzas alongside house pastas and pub favorites, so one table might share garlic knots, a Chicken Parmesan plated hot and fresh, and specialty pies while another digs into tacos, wings, or the sushi menu that fans rave about. Saturday and Sunday brunch bring even more variety, and signature happenings such as hands-on sushi-rolling classes show how far the team goes to keep the selection exciting.

A full bar anchors the experience with cocktails, local pours, and sake ready for music-filled evenings, while takeout and online ordering keep regulars stocked up at home. Add in catering packages, plentiful seating, and a reputation for friendly service, and the Apex outpost continues to deliver the brand’s promise of great food, great music, and great times.
