The owner is an extremely friendly man who used to work at a pizza place up in New York and wanted some place a bit more layed back for his family to grow up. Pop's is now owned by him and since that ownership I have only experienced the best pizza in Chapel Hill to date. You get a great New York style pie any way you want. Slices in the window are cheap and the garlic knots are AMAZING. Best garlic knots I have ever had! Really, do try them.
The staff are friendly and the food comes out quickly. They have even made up custom pasta / sandwiches / strombolis for me and each has been great.
Give Pop's a try!
Pros: Fresh Casual Italian, Custom orders, Friendly Owner / Staff
