It's not the closest pizza place but it is absolutely the best! Warning: their delivery time is sort of slow but it's totally worth the wait.

There are a lot of taquerias in my neighborhood but this is by far the best! They have an English menu behind the counter and the cashiers always speak English too. Try the pupusas! If you go on the weekend there are lots of specials.

Cross Roxboro Road (use the light at Lavender) and you reach Northgate Park--a great neighborhood with big willow oaks, a dog park, playground, and the north-south greenway.

My neighborhood is a mix of small houses from many different decades with a diverse populations. There are no sidewalks but traffic is very light; I always feel safe walking around, even late at night. We have lots of dog walkers and everyone is very friendly in a true Southern way.
