Uncle Jerry's Pizza Company

Venture out to suburban Cary for pan pies that are well worth the journey. Owner Jerry Czerwinski (who we wish were our uncle, too) ferments the dough for two days and also seasons it, making the crust the star component. It’s layered with Italian cheese all the way to the edges, resulting in a crunchy caramelized crust, plus bright tomato sauce. You can’t go wrong with the classic housemade sausage but we recommend the Sweet Sting—cup and char pepperoni, which is placed over the sauce, and habanero-infused hot honey.
