We have a unique concept of "Buffet without Buffet Bar." What does that mean? Well, we do not have the traditional buffet bar. For one thing, we do not leave the food out for you pick out, the food gets dry and unflattering. We prepare your food FRESH, right after you place your order. Plus, it is all you can eat FRESH sushi, rolls, steak, and appetizers to choose from! The food is "Made to Order". However, if you don't want to choose the buffet option, we also offer the option to order straight off the menu.
Lilly’s Pizza in vibrant Five Points is a local pizzeria serving organic pies topped with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Everything from the dough to the sauce is made from scratch daily, and the menu has plenty of healthy and vegetarian options to choose from. Lily's sets itself apart by using only stone-milled flour from Lindley Mills, and vine-ripened tomatoes add an extra boost of flavor to the sauce. All-natural meats mean a healthier and more sustainable food culture philosophy, one Lily's lives by. Accompany your pizza with a pint of beer or bottle of wine; there is a wide selection to choose from. The casual vibe, art-filled interiors with walls decked with works of local artists (available for purchase), and carefully crafted menu have boosted this lively eatery to the top of Raleigh's food chain.
