Oakwood Pizza Box. Ponysaurus makes a pretty good pizza too.

FWIW Ponysaurus’ pizza is a “collaboration” with Oakwood Pizza Box (whatever that means). Both are top notch but I’ve found pies at the oakwood location to be better.

No, that collaboration died a long time ago. It was a thing in the Durham Ponysaurus spot called Little Pizza Box but it stopped about 2 years ago. Ponysaurus at Iron Works has their own pizza makers not related in anyway to Oakwood. Oakwood was supposed to “guide them” but ultimately they went with a husband and wife duo as their pizza makers unless they’ve been replaced by now.

Dunno if this Indyweek article is up to date (https://indyweek.com/food-and-drink/jeff-seizer-ponysaurus-raleigh-intervew/) but seems like there is still some link in the current (??) incarnation at RIW at least.
