Italian Pizzeria - Durham

This has been a local favorite of mine since I was a little girl. I can't remember a time when I didn't have a love for Italian pizzeria. Came here during high school lunch and I still come here as an adult. I love the Philly cheese steak and just a regular cheese pizza. My absolute favorite is the cannoli and tiramisu they serve. The decorations are the same and have been the same for years it could use an update but other than that I love Italian pizzeria.

One of the few places that has Anchovy as a topping! The pizza was generally good and the toppings were spread out carefully and neatly. (See photo). This location is never not busy, so expect a lot of chaos ordering at the counter or calling in by phone. The Dining Area is 40 years old, poorly lit, shabby and not a wipe-down priority for the front-end workers. But the outdated decor seems to be the trademark of the entire Italian Pizzeria chain in Durham and Chapel Hill. As long as the food is good and the Health Dept score is respectable, do not hesitate to order from here.

The owner is fantastic, and the food elevates pizza and Italian cuisine to another level! The service is consistently excellent, and the meals are always served hot and without any problems.

We love Italian Pizzeria! Amazing food, family-friendly, great staff. They also support my daughters' schools by having school fundraising nights, and the owners are great people. Highly recommend!

I've been enjoying lunch here for the past 20 years, and the food has consistently been excellent and budget-friendly. Thank you for keeping things just as they are!
