Family-Run Pizzeria With Full Bar Coming to Wendell
Vic’s Pizzeria is planning a new Wendell Falls location featuring sit-down dining, a full bar, and patio seating.
WENDELL, NC — Vic’s Pizzeria plans to open a new location at 5920 Taylor Rd #930, Wendell, NC 27591 in the Wendell Falls area around late 2026 or early January 2027, owner Michael Longo told Business Debut.
What to Expect
The Wendell Falls restaurant is designed as a more full-service version of Vic’s, with sit-down dining, a full bar and a large patio. Longo said the team is considering a service model that could include table ordering via QR codes, supported by servers, drink service and food runners.
The space is expected to include about 60 seats inside and about 80 seats outside.
Menu and Vision
Longo said the food menu will stick to Vic’s core recipes, with potential additions focused on bar appetizers. Guests can expect pizzas, pasta, calzones, strombolis, rolls, desserts and more.
The brand was founded by Mario Longo (Michael Longo’s father) in 1993, and the original Vic’s Pizzeria remains in The City Market in Raleigh.
Longo said the business is still family-run, with Mia Longo (Mario’s daughter) helping operate the City Market location and Mario Longo Jr. involved in operating the Lake Boone Trail restaurant.
Opening Timeline
Longo said the development team expects to receive the “dark shell” around June or July, with construction buildout to follow. The target is an end-of-year opening, with early January 2027 also in view.
The Wendell Falls restaurant will be the brand’s fifth location, joining the City Market original, the Lake Boone Trail location, the Glenwood South restaurant and a newer food-court outpost at Triangle Town Center.
Hours
Hours of operation are to be announced.
