Ponysaurus Brewing Co.

I felt compelled to write a review because I don't think enough people are aware of this great restaurant. For me their pizza is the best in Raleigh and they have a great selection of specialty beers, IPAs etc. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

Fast service for how busy it was, impressive burger and fries the lemon aoili was a great addition to it. Curly fries were good too. Beer was also very fresh.

Very chill, laid back. The pizza is super thin crust and it’s fantastic. The salads are also very good. Great for kids because it’s so casual and there’s a lot for the kids to look at including big TVs and the centerpiece “ponysaurus” skeleton. Be prepared for the help-yourself / self-serve format. Order on your phone and your order is delivered to your table quickly but if you need napkins, silverware, or even cups of water, you get that yourself.

Ponysaurus Pizza Restaurant and Brewery offers a solid experience with unique cocktails, great pizza, and surprisingly good fried chicken. The cocktails are creative and well-made, adding a nice touch to the meal. Their pizzas have a crispy crust and interesting toppings that stand out. The fried chicken is juicy and well-seasoned—definitely worth trying. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, making it a good spot for a night out or a laid-back meal. With quality food and drinks, Ponysaurus earns high marks for a well-rounded dining experience.

Overall Rating: 6.8/10 Atmosphere: 7.3/10 Located in Raleigh Ironworks, the restaurant offers a dynamic dining experience with outdoor seating and a quieter upstairs area. It features self-service amenities, including scan-to-order at tables and self-serve condiments and take-home options. The decor includes a standout dinosaur sculpture, contributing to the restaurant's unique and modern vibe. The place maintains cleanliness throughout, although the self-serve water was noted to be warm. Service: 5.9/10 Service is limited to food delivery, with all other aspects being self-served. Interaction with staff is minimal but pleasant, primarily when they deliver food to the table. Despite the restaurant's busyness, food delivery was notably swift. Food: Cheese Pizza (5.4/10): A decent offering with a thin crust that could benefit from being crispier. While visually appealing and of good quality, the overall taste is good but not remarkable. Chicken Sandwich (8.1/10): Exceptional, ranking among the best in Raleigh. The chicken is perfectly crispy, complemented by a tasty mix of veggies and sauce, providing excellent value. Cheeseburger with Bacon (6.9/10): Very satisfying with a thick, well-cooked patty and notably crunchy bacon on a garlic-flavored bun. Accompanied by good fries, the quality justifies the experience. Garlic Knots (6.7/10): Freshly made with the right balance of seasoning and butter, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, offering a delightful appetizer option. Value: 6.5/10 The pricing is appropriate for the quality and dining experience provided. While certain items might be a bit costly, the overall value is satisfactory, especially given the quality of the food and the unique dining environment.

This place is awesome! Really love the layout and overall vibe. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Drinks were pretty good. Didn’t order food. In a really nice recently developed part of Raleigh with nearby apartments and other restaurants/retail stores. Will definitely be back!

The beers are an ecelitic mix of ideas and styles. Belgian Black Ale to Beir De Garde to Mango Orange Wit to Cherry Pie sour. There's only ONE IPA on tap (Gasp)! Full bar with some tasty house cocktails and frozen drinks (it gets Hottt in Raleigh)! They are a pizza place, but have an extensive menu with snacks, wings, salads and even burgers. Something for everyone, food or drink wise. @brewersassoc @homebrewassoc @touchdownbrewery #ParkerPose #BeerLife #BeerLove

The chicken parmigiana was delicious! Great pizzas - which is hard to find in Raleigh. Excellent service!! It has a large outdoor sitting area, which is great if you want to bring your dog :)
