40 Best Pizza Restaurants in Durham

“Ate here with a friend for dinner. I have celiac & called ahead, they told me they have the best gluten free pizza on the east coast (i’ll be the judge of that hahaha). The hostess was great and walked me through the menu. I ended up getting the garlic cheese bread app and cesar salad (have to ask for both to be GF). Both were 10/10. The salad was HUGE. Grilled chicken is an extra $6. My friend got the pizza and said it was great. Will be returning to try the GF pizza! Only pizza they cant do GF is Nashville Hot because of the fried chicken. No gluten reaction from me!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing scratch made ingredients and friendly staff“

“Love the creative calzone flavors.“

“I finally got around to trying Golden Pizza out after moving into a house just down the street a few months ago. My boyfriend and I got the Chicken Gyros with a side of large fries and everything was absolutely delicious. With everything in Durham getting more and more expensive, I really appreciate having an affordable takeout option so close to us!“

“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!“

“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! ❤️“

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

“Great service , friendly staff and delicious food.“

“Carbed up here on 5/1 for the marathon on 5/2. Sicilian cheese (w/ burnt, crispy, cheese 😋) and Spicy Goat slices were sooooooo good! I must not forgot the amazing service from the amazing woman that brought me my food. I asked for latex kitchen gloves to put under my cotton gloves since rain was forecasted for the race. She hooked me up and was super friendly! 😄 I will be back and next time and 2 slices won't be enough! 😉 Thanks team. 😊“

“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 .“

“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!“

“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 🥰😁“

“I was surprised to find a Pizza Inn in Durham, NC. But let me tell you, it's definitely great to have. We wanted pizza but couldn't agree on where to go. When this option popped up, we said yes and it was a great decision. The buffet is an excellent option. They keep the pizzas hot and the salad bar filled. The best part is they will take a request, which really hit the spot! It's a clean place to eat and definitely worth visiting! I cannot say enough good about the experience. We'll be back...soon!“

“Great bartenders. Very knowledgeable and service is quick and friendly. Always a fun place to hang out, get a drink, and play games to feel like a kid again. They have both classic and new games so there's something for everyone. Great for individuals and groups.
The food was a miss tonight. Pizza and dips were fair, not as good as in the past.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“The best pizza I have ever had“

“Great service very attentive and they even brought it up stairs the the brewery. Pizza was fantastic. I got the white mushroom pizza. Crust has a nice crisp, good char, with a slight chew but not too tough. Toppings are definitely fresh and tasted great. Cheese wasn't greasy and even with the olive oil on the pizza it didn't leave a mess as you were eating it. Can't wait to try the other pizzas“

“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 decided for the first time to try this pizzeria in the Durham Food Hall. Bri and Asher we warm, kind and knowledgeable for the questions that I had. Jayla did a magnificent job on putting together my Hummus Flatbread. The flatbread was soft yet cooked to perfection to hold the hummus and the toppings to the hummus flatbread. I mean the vegetables were cut to the perfect size not overwhelming, there was just enough hummus spread to not make the bread mushy on application and just perfect sprinkles of salt to keep the party going on the right accord. Great job 👏🏽 and they told mee how to heat it up how I would like to have it again. Wonderful staff.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and service!“

“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“

“Second time we've order from this location this month. I make sure to talk with the store directly, as in the past, the call center has butchered my order. Unfortunately, both this time & the last time they were slightly off on the orders even calling the store, but the food was awesome. I'll definitely give them another try since I know our order isn't a straight order & we change things around.“

“I always choose this location because its nest work. This is the only Domino's were you csn taste the love in their food. The quality, taste and the appearance is top tier.
I wish they could teach the Wallace, NC of how to make good pizza.“

“The food was great and for being gluten intolerant I was thrilled that they had multiple options for crust. The gluten free crust was delicious, I don't think I could have asked for anything better! The service was amazing and I left happy and with leftovers! I hope I can come back again because it was just what I needed for my pizza craving!“
