38 Best Pizza Restaurants in Durham

“Originally from Detroit but living in NC since 1993. By far some of the best Detroit style pizza I've had in a very long time and that includes visits back to my hometown. Breadsticks were amazing too! Staff was friendly and patient especially after we had a spill at the table. Look forward to the hour and a half drive to visit again!“

“excellent service and delicious food. I do miss the stuffed pizza though“

“Had dinner this evening with my daughter that is attending Duke. The meal was delicious and the service was amazing. We sat at the bar, the other side of the restaurant was loud. There was no wait at the bar and we were able to enjoy each other with conversation.“

“Always great food and great service“

“I love this place. Sofia's Pizza is a family owned local business in East Durham that has great food at a reasonable price and supports our community. We are lucky to have business owners that exemplify excellence of service, generosity, and dedication.“

“They accommodated our large party last minute. The food and service were amazing! I do not remember our waitresses name but she was great in the middle of our chaos. Will definitely visit next time we are in Durham.“

“ordered 2 pizzas one was gluten-free. we were pleased and tried 2 appetizers and both desserts. thank you our expectations were met.“

“Amazing scratch made ingredients and friendly staff“

“Love the creative calzone flavors.“

“For the past 3 years, my family and I have been coming to Marco’s Pizza on Highway 54 in Durham every single Friday, and I can honestly say this location is one of the best-run restaurants I’ve ever experienced. DJ, Nate, and the entire team consistently provide outstanding customer service every single time we visit.

The pizzas are always fresh, delicious, and made with care. I love that they continue bringing in new pizza options and changing things up while still maintaining great quality. My children and my entire family look forward to Marco’s Pizza Fridays every week.

What really stands out is the professionalism of the staff. The employees are always friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, patient, and attentive. They answer the phone promptly, and if they ask you to hold, they actually come back quickly instead of leaving you waiting. Orders are made on time, and we never have to deal with long waits.

The store itself is always clean, including the bathrooms and dining area, which says a lot about how much pride they take in this location.

I genuinely love everything about this store and everything about this pizza. As long as this Marco’s Pizza stays open and in business, this is where my family will continue getting our pizza. I honestly don’t even want pizza from anywhere else anymore. Thank you to DJ, Nate, and the whole team for being consistently amazing year after year!“

“It was AMAZING! We were starving and just about licked our plates clean. AND it was so cheap. The Philly Cheesesteak was deliciousss, we definitely recommend. The owner came out and gave us a whole desert pizza on the house and asked for feedback on it to see if they should add it to the menu. Safe to say we hope it gets added!! The inside is very clean and put together, we had a blast! Please go support this small business!! You won’t regret it :)“

“I enjoyed my pizza & wings. The wings were cooked very well, not soggy & they tasted great. Will be returning!!“

“We just had lunch here on the recommendation of a friend and it was wonderful! Absolutely the best flavorful, cooked to perfection pizza I've had in the south in 30 years!! The owners are great people too! We'll definitely be back!! I highly recommend this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!“

“Lunch yesterday Cesar salad vert good Eggplant parm excellent Pasta with meatballs excellent Pasta cooked as requested al dente---sauce very good Will be going back Best eggplant parm we had in the triangle Worth a trip for lunch or dinner“

“Great service , friendly staff and delicious food.“

“Amazing place, had a great time. I did have a problem with them taking my water bottle, and how some of the games cost a lot of money, and that they don't have food, which I should've expected since it is just a bar and arcade. But they allow you to get food from next door stores.“

“Thank you Enzo’s Pizza for always having great pizza with quick delivery for weary parents at Duke Children’s. We have been ordering during all of our hospital stays with our daughter over the past 2 years. Last night, I was extra impressed that you not only sent plates and napkins as always, but you sent cups with the 2 Liter drink we ordered. Duke Health has discontinued all regular soft drinks in soda fountains or drink machines on campus, and that cold Mountain Dew was great last night after a long surgery day!! You da best! ❤️“

“Totally acceptable pizza conveniently located downtown. I love that they sell slices, hard to find that in Durham. I also like that they let you order 2 half specialty pies, that kind of flexibility rocks when you and your partner have different dietary restrictions.“

“Every time I go there they treat me with such respect . They know my face and even what I want and how I want my steak. I have yet to be disappointed by a choice of entree there. The customer service and food prep time is amazing .“

“1st time picking up pizza & it was excellent!!! Loved the crust & pizza sauce!! Will definitely be bad!!“

“pizza and salads which I normally get. And they are delicious!“

“My kids love the to play at Chuck E. Cheese’s the have fun and me too i have fun 🥰😁“

“Great inexpensive stop, especially during our road trip from indiana to the beaches in North Carolina. My 6yr old picky eater enjoyed the pizza, cheese bread and cinnamon bites. I personally enjoyed it all including the spaghetti and the variety of pizzas they offered. Management and staff were great. Bathrooms were clean as well. Hard to beat all you can eat including a salad bar with tons of toppings. 2 adults and 1 child and it was $41. We're left happy and full.“

“Pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. They're also great with substitutions! Our waitress was an absolute angel. She gave my 4yo so much love and attention. My family will definitely be returning soon ❤️“

“Always friendly service and delicious food at the Amelia Island location!“

“The have good wings, a large selection of drinks, and okay pizza. It was a fun spot for a work event. The service was great everyone was super nice. They also seem to have event here frequently which is fun they were doing music bingo as we were leaving. Seems like a cool place to hang out.“

“This is the only authentic pizza joint in Durham, serving the only authentic pie in Durnam. They kind of screwed it up by putting in a schmaltzy "cafe" bar but the pizza remains undamaged.“

“Awesome food (the wings are DELICIOUS), friendly service! We love Dino's! My only complaint is the thick plastic takeout boxes for the wings, salad etc. Single use plastic is destroying our environment, please consider cardboard!!! Would absolutely order takeout more often if there were better environmentally friendly options!“

“The best pizza I have ever had“

“Easily one of the best burgers in Durham
The diced potatoes are so unique to a menu and go super well with the burger.

Service is good they do an order at the counter and take a number system.
The vibe is great with both front near street seating and coverd rooftop“

“Great food, awesome staff and super clean! Great vibe and service. The team is extremely friendly and ready to provide their customers with the best customer service. Food is amazing and the pizza is top tier! I recommend it for anyone from NY and NJ craving and missing NY pizza.

Kid-friendliness: Team goes the extra mile and cuts the pizza into 16 slices for smaller/thinner kid friendly slices when asked.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by my slice. It really was like a slice you would get in New York City. The crust was crisp yet tender and folded in half properly. The ratio and amount of sauce and cheese was appropriate. My only two slight issues were that I thought the sauce was a bit bland and I would have preferred that the end crust had been a bit larger. Inside seating was a bit snug but there were three nice outside tables.“

“This location gets pretty busy in the evening. It is part of the Circle K gas station, so its easy to get other things while waiting for your pizza. Being busy i can understand it taking time, but 20 mins for some Italian cheese bread and crazy puffs is a but long.
On terms of the food, their Italian Cheese Bread is killer especially with crazy sauce. I tried the New cheese steak puffs, they are pretty good, especially if you eat them while hot.“

“I ordered the cheesesteak and asked for vegan cheese as a substitution. Though they weren't sure how it would turn out, they were open to doing it and it was amazing! As a person with a ton of dietary restrictions, I am always faced with difficulties when I need a substitution for my food at restaurants. This experience filled me with gratitude. Thank you so much!“

“Great food and service!“

“Excellent pizza! Can’t wait to try the other menu items!“

“I grew up in NJ and this is as close to spot on as you can get! Great pizza!“

“Service ranges from excellent to mediocre depending on which person takes your order. Overall, staff is quite professional but a little distant (as if they'd rather be doing something else). Pizza is very good: properly cooked crusts, fresh ingredients, made to order--so nice and hot. Subs are fairly good: ratio of ingredients to bread is a little over tilted toward the bread, but otherwise fresh and tasty. Indoor seating is ample but quite noisy: there are many loud speakers on the ceiling throughout the venue to allow the pizza readiness be announced.
Overall, a pleasant experience for a quick lunch and a break from the office.“
