The popular Cary location was one of NC Eat & Play’s first collaborations. And you can regularly see interactions between both pages on NC Eat & Play’s stories and Facebook page.

Rapillo, a newcomer to the Raleigh area said it was a natural fit to have NC Eat & Play help announce two exciting new ventures planned for this year. 

He shares, “I immediately reached out to Megan and her team to create an engaging strategy to help us share about our new mobile stone pizza oven and our newest Raleigh location opening in the fall of 2021. She genuinely cares about our success and her creative touch always makes a big impact.”

​V Pizza brings true Neapolitan pizza to locals and helps the community along the way.

V Pizza started in Florida with several popular locations around Jacksonville, Gainsville, and Fleming Island areas. Local owner, Rapillo opened V Pizza & Tap Garden Cary in 2020 right before the pandemic began. 

The brand quickly become a local’s favorite thanks to its focus on authentic Neapolitan pizza and Italian stone oven creations. The pizza creations are based on cooking methods rooted in Naples, Italy where the 10″ personal-sized pizzas were made from simple, all-natural ingredients. The original character of a great Neapolitan pizza is it has more sauce than cheese. Cooking the pizzas in a stone oven helps add a crispness with every bite. 

V Pizza is also growing a following as a good community supporter. Along with other local charitable efforts, North Carolina owner, Rapillo and his team provide support to local families affected by cancer through V for Victory, a brand-wide foundation that helps anyone fighting ANY type of cancer.

What can locals expect?
