The name is slightly different, but the pizza remains the same.
One of the Triangle’s most popular pizzerias opens its takeout expansion this week, reviving a beloved carry-out spot.
Oakwood Pizza Box will open the new Capital Pizza Box on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
The name is a nod to the former Capital Creations Gourmet Pizza, which previously operated in the space at 1842 Wake Forest Road for decades.
Anyone who has tried to pick up a pizza from the original Oakwood Pizza Box on a Friday night knows the need for the expansion. Owned by husband and wife Anthony and Brett Guerra, Oakwood Pizza Box opened on Person Street in 2017 and quickly became a Triangle-wide destination for New York style pizza.
“We never thought Oakwood Pizza Box would be so busy that every day is a traffic event,” Anthony Guerra said in a release. “We just want our customers to be able to easily grab a pizza to go. With this expansion, we’re hoping it can come true.”
Capital Pizza Box hours
Capital Pizza Box opens with evening hours, from 4 to 9 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday.
The owners say those hours may expand in the coming weeks.
