Delivery radiuses are small, often two to five miles, and a minimum order plus a delivery fee is normal, with a tip of a few dollars for the driver on top. Lunch specials such as two slices and a drink, or a personal pie, are the cheapest way to eat at most shops across North Carolina on weekdays. Toppings are priced per item and half-and-half pies are usually free to request. Gluten-free crusts and vegan cheese are increasingly common but often cost a few dollars extra, and cross-contact in a shared oven is standard unless the shop says otherwise.

Durham is in North Carolina, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Durham follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Absolutely fantastic pizza. Every time I come through Durham I make a point to stop here

My family's favorite pizza spot in the triangle! The pizza is always a hit and we always get the Napoletana. We've had several of their pizzas, but we love the tang of the sweet red peppers in the Napoletana. The crust is always light and fluffy, and made with italian flour, so its kinder to our gluten sensitive friends. I moved out of state, but I always make an effort to visit every time Im in town!

OMG I found this place after work today, (day before mother's day 2026) we live 2 hours away, my husband was off today after months of never having a Friday off so he can to do lunch with me and he kept our son home and played "hookie" with him! Lol anyway before we left he said, "babe I know you want a really good fire wood pizza find one" I found this place 20 minutes from work. We spent 3 hours here! Had an amazing time! My 7 year old played for hours with 100 kids! And not one child was rude mean or anything! We brought a blanket out the car because everyone else had one out on the grass, they bring the food out to you with your number pole they will find you anywhere on the "lawn". Yes! We ate next door and had dessert! I tried a med. (2-scoops) Ice cream one scoop was the non dairy raspberry crumble. (To die for!) And my second choice scoop was the blackberry hibiscus 🌺 (😱) you just have to have them together. My husband tried the cinnamon donut? He loved it. And my 7 year old tried the cookie brownie ice ream he gave it a 100 out of 10. ;) I also do not drink, but the games and fun everyone was having I am certain it was great! You gotta live for the experience. Please come

Currently my favorite place to get pizza in Durham, and there are a lot of great options. I love how true they stay to their Italian roots. The pizza and salads are always top notch and it's easy to order while hanging out at Golden Belt.

Went to hi-wire for beer, ordered the forghi and a salad online and while I had to wait a few minutes upon arriving as they were slammed they made sure I was taken care of. Pizza was incredible, almost addictive it was so good. You could tell the ingredients were fresh by the taste, more so than any other pizza I've ever had. Crust was also excellent, doughy. The best pizza I had had before this was v pizza, but I think this shop is better.
