Some of the absolute best wood fired pizza I have ever eaten!

Cugino Forno – A Taste of Naples in the Heart of Durham
At Cugino Forno, pizza is treated with reverence—and it shows. The dough is a masterpiece in itself: light, airy, perfectly blistered. Each pie is topped with classic, high-quality ingredients that honor tradition without overcomplicating the story.
The Margherita is divine; even the simplest options shine with integrity. The wood-fired oven adds that final touch—a whisper of char, a taste of authenticity.
Warm service, relaxed atmosphere, and a commitment to craft make this spot a true local treasure.
It’s not just pizza—it’s a pilgrimage. Worth every mile.

love these guys so much. the space is open and immaculate. their Neapolitan pizzas are better than any i could find when i was living in new jersey...
Ok y'all I'm not kidding this is on par with what we had in Napoli and Sorrento, no joke.
True top tier pizza and to have this in Durham is mind boggling.

The person at the cash register was clearly high and seemed like I was talking to a wall. He seemed to have no clue about what I was saying to him. Another person had to step in to help us.
Always good pizza! And the lawn in front is great when the weather is nice.

NOT ITALIAN AT ALL!!! Nobody in there was Italian , no one could understand what we were saying. Allora perché vi spacciate per italiani ? Pizza was gummy and had a garlic taste You have a beautiful location but you don't know how to exploit it. Le due stelle sono solo per la location

Cugino Forno in Durham is an absolute gem! We ordered the Bianca pizza, and it was hands down the best pizza I’ve had in the Triangle area. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with fresh ingredients and an amazing crust that had just the right amount of crispiness. The open wood fired oven added a wonderful authentic touch and that signature smoky flavor you just can’t replicate.
What truly stood out was the quick turnaround. Despite it being a busy Saturday night, our pizza was ready in just a few minutes - impressive speed for such high-quality food. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and you can even watch your pizza being made fresh in the open kitchen. Highly recommend Cugino Forno to any pizza lover - it’s a must-visit spot in Durham!
