It was a happy accident that I found myself at Lilly's last Monday night (after checking out a new brewery in Five Points), but it lead to an amazing discovery:
Lilly's has $2 drafts on Monday's.
Their pizza alone is good enough to cure even the worst case of the Monday's, but pair that with $2 beer and you might just forget how far away the weekend is.

Being a Durham resident, I'm veryyy familiar with the Lilly's Pizza in Brightleaf Square, but had never been to the Raleigh iteration before this visit. While the Glenwood Lilly's is significantly smaller than it's sister restaurant in the Bull City, it makes up for its lack of size in edgy character.
From the glowing beer signs, to the paper plate customer wall art, to the rap music blaring from the kitchen, Lilly's eclectic vibe makes for a spectacular non-traditional dining atmosphere.
And most importantly: the pizza is top-notch.
Organic ingredients and toppings ensure great quality in each slice, and their pizza dough may or may not make appearances in my dreams from time to time. Perfectly doughy, slightly chewy and sweet, its the ultimate bread vessel for whatever cheeses, veggies or meats top your circular creation.
Monday's are just better with pizza and cheap beer, it's a scientific fact (based on my own independent research). But if you don't believe me, just let Lilly's do the convincing.
What's your favorite Lilly's pie???
ReplyDeleteWow, now there's a million dollar question if I've ever seen one. Probably the Mr. Green Jeans, with cremini mushrooms, broccoli, mozzarella, roma tomatoes, red onions, black olives & fresh basil. I'm hungry just typing that!
