    VIP Gluten Free Pizza
    Laurie G.

    I stopped in Emmy Squared for a Deep dish gluten free pizza and it did not disappoint. I parked in Brightleaf Square and was able to get 2 hours free parking in the restaurant. You scan the QR code and put in your license plate and phone number and then give your phone number in the restaurant and it will validate your parking. It's right across from the restaurant and a simple walk in. I have always ordered the big Hawaiian but I was encouraged to get the VIP and I'm so glad that I did. It is a taste explosion and I highly recommend it if you like a little spice. The crust is thick and unlike another gluten free pizza crust. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy today but I came at 3pm. The waitress was very attentive and great with recommendations that were spot on. I highly recommend you try this out if you are looking for some fun flavor combinations for pizza with amazing crust.

    The homemade crust on the gluten free pizza was delicious! The staff was also super knowledgeable and helpful regarding allergies.

    I heard a lot about this place in regards to its pizza, so we were excited to try it. We started with the brussels sprouts salad, which came out super fast. It was tangy with a strong blue cheese flavor but a little too salty. The cranberries were plump and added a nice balance though. That was the highlight of our meal though, because the pizzas were underwhelming. We tried 3 pizzas (the VIP, miranda, and one with honey) in the regular size, which gave us plenty of leftovers. The crust on all of them was much thicker and doughier than I prefer. They use a focaccia-like dough that they put toppings on top, which is their signature style. It just makes for a meal that's 90% bread. Regardless, staff were really nice and very attentive, and there was both indoor and outdoor seating. The vibes of the interior were nice and spacious. I just wouldn't come back for the pizza.

    The Good Paulie Pizza

    I love Emmy Squared! I've been a handful of times and it never disappoints. The Detroit style crust is perfectly buttery, chewy, and the cheese makes it deliciously crispy at the edges. You can't beat those corner slices. I usually get the Deluxe Pizza which has red sauce, sausage, mozzarella, mushrooms, and peppers - classic flavors executed just right. I've also had their Big Hawaiian Pizza, and on my most recent visit I tried the Good Paulie pizza. I loved both of these pizzas, but I think the Deluxe is my favorite by just a smidge. The seasonal watermelon burrata salad is phenomenal, bursting with fresh flavors that complement one another. I've always loved the Brightleaf Square area of Durham, and I'm so glad that Emmy Squared chose to set up shop there. The exposed brick interior, tall windows, and open layout make for an inviting atmosphere. When the weather is nice, one could take advantage of their outdoor seating. Service has always been friendly and efficient. Overall this is one of my favorite pizza places in the Triangle.

    MVP pizza

    Delishhh!! I ended up in Raleigh for awhile without a car available so I ordered Emmy's squared pizza on Uber Eats. It came hot, freshly prepared and sooo tasty. I've never had a crust with sesame seeds on it but wow it works. It added simple flavor and crunchiness to an already perfectly baked pizza. I loved the combination of vodka sauce with the parsley pesto and red sauce. I absolutely would order again from Emmys, everything looks so good it was hard to decide what to get. Portion is fair for the pricing and pizza is filling.

    I finally made it to Emmy Squared, 905 West Main Street, Durham, after meaning to visit since they opened here over a year ago. I had heard of them. With 28 locations worldwide, how couldn't you. But last night I got to taste it for myself. Our table ordered an MVP, a meat lovers, several pepperoni pies, and one with a kick from chili peppers. Each with that crisp‑edged crust, deep dish, and fulfilling. We also had wings, cheesy bread, and cheese sticks. All spot‑on in flavor. Daven, MaryBeth, and the rest of the crew worked the entire restaurant with energy, warmth, professionalism, and efficiency. Their attention never felt rushed, yet nothing lagged. We'll be back.

    Cheesy Garlic Sticks

    I got the sixer roni supreme and the cheese sticks and they were amazing! The service was great and the bartender made sure I was enjoying my time there and enjoying my food!

    Detroit style deep dish heaven. I've had this pizza before in other cities, but this was the first time in Durham. I love the restaurant location with old-town vibe feels in downtown Durham. The pizza. Phenomenal! Pineapple and bacon was the choice this time. Sweet and savory with a drizzle on top. The outside sitting area was quaint with plenty of shaded options. Definitely passed the vibe check and the pizza was amazing!

    Natasha R.

    This place has such delicious pizza! It is a little bit pricey, but every single pizza we ordered was delicious. The servers were super nice and knowledgeable about their menu, and I definitely would love to come back to this place. There is also validated parking (two hours) for the lot next to the restaurant.

    The pizza here is so good!! I get the founders and the combo of the pepperonis, jalapeños and honey is to die for. Service is great, super friendly but sometimes when you walk in you end up waiting at the front for a second before being greeted. I have been on a Tuesday around 4:30 and there was no one there and I've also been on a Sunday at 2p and there was also no one there maybe it's just the days I go I'm not sure why I haven't seen more people. Anyways the pizza is a deep dish style and you could eat a whole sixer by yourself. Outdoor and indoor seating and you can order alcoholic beverages. I love Emmy squared.

    Scott W.

    Another great experience at Emmy Squared Pizza in Durham. The food is terrific and the gluten free crust is amazing. The service is wonderful in the way they treat you and invite you to simply relax and enjoy the experience. Highly recommend!

Inside the shop was a classic deli where you order at the counter and then browse the various goods/merch while you wait. Service was fast and the sandwiches came out within 5 minutes of ordering.

But if the line were shorter in the future I'd come back and try other yummies from the menu.

As you enter there is a sign that tells you to go look at the menu board, pick out your drink, and go back to the counter to order. I grabbed a diet coke, and ordered a Common Cobb. I was a bit surprise when my total came to $18, as my salad was only $14 but I guess I should have paid attention that my bottle of soda was over $3. How much are the fountain drinks, I wonder? I found us a table inside since it was a bit hot that day (there is also plenty of seating outside AND inside if you go downstairs). The table and floor were messy but someone quickly came to clean it for me. They called our names over the loudspeaker and my best friend went to go get our food. She got the MotherClucker. Our food was REALLY good. If you like Cobb salad, you will definitely like this one. The chicken was pan seared perfectly, the vinaigrette was perfectly tangy and the bleu cheese was especially excellent. My friend's chicken sandwich has SO MUCH chicken salad on it. Impressive. There was so many neat items to see in the place. The murals were great, there were some cute retail spaces, a coffee bar up front, a bar downstairs, and ice cream outside! Unfortunately my bestie and I had too much to talk about so we didn't check it out as much as I otherwise wood. I would definitely try this place again!

    "Sandwich shop just off University Dr in Durham"…read more Came here for an evening dinner with a friend. We arrived around 5:45pm, and there was ample parking, but I will say the place was HOPPING by the time we left at 6:30pm. The decor is very cute-- old-style, good seating and a bar area as well. You order at the table, and food comes to you. My dining mate got the Cypriot (Halloumi, Fig, Arugula, Tomato, Pesto) with a side of curly fries, and I wasn't very hungry so I got the Beyond Meat Chicken Tenders kids meal with a side salad. I also got a delicious bottled sparkling lemonade. Service was fine-- food comes after order, but you're mostly on your own once food is delivered, as expected. We got a couple of napkins with the food, but there are more self-serve up in the counter. Just don't expect someone to check on you or anything. The food was GREAT. My dining partner loved her sandwich (commented especially on the fig spread) and fries, and I really liked my meal as well. The side salad was surprisingly delicious, especially the addition of pickled red onion. The place was clean-- I went to the restroom, too, and everything was stocked well. Price was very fair. Overall, I'd happily come back. Easy, priced well, delicious. Not a place where you get a lot of "attention", but great for a simple meal.

Options for vegan diets that's still keeps essence of original sandwich which I appreciated (impossible chicken tenders for cutlets). Great space! Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. I discovered the garden this time around and enjoyed sitting out there for my meal. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was not very busy. Ordered the mozzarella sticks and the chicken cutlet sandwich (regular). The sticks were amazing with the sauce! The SS which bread was so fresh and soft as was the chicken cutlet. I wish it had more sauce and a little salt pepper vinegar splash would have gone a long way. A good sandwich but the most amazing or most flavorful sandwich I've ever had. Can't stress how fresh everything tasted though and it was huge only ate half.

They make cookies, pastries, breads (pan loaf and hand-formed ones), soups, hand pies, and sandwiches. The variety is amazing. During the holiday season, they offer larger pies and have various seasonal goods to offer. But what's also wonderful is this bakery gives back to the community in many ways. During the height of the pandemic, they offered free bagged lunch to anyone who needed one. They also were (are?) part of the pilot project for Durham's guaranteed income. It looks to me that the owners/company are concerned about being good citizens of the community and that's a great thing. These days, so many companies get bought out by private equity companies. I hope this bakery continues to be locally owned and operated! (Also, generally this bakery isn't offering the very fancy European/European-ish style pastries which is fine by me. The prices are very reasonable, possibly in part because they aren't trying to make their baked goods a "high end" item. There are other good local bakeries that offer "high end" pastries, but they are also much less affordable and for my taste, too rich.)

I've seen this place many times but I didn't really know much except that the noodles were pretty and that was the case but also, there's a large pastry case inside with a good selection of cakes and delicious sweets. Good to know... Because of the wintry weather they created a special SnowMan menu which was really original by my opinion. It's tight inside. The tables are really close together, which is a good thing because as a Foodie I love to see what the others choose and chat with them. So that's what we did- the table next to us told us they recommended the Rice Porridge Bowl and the Belt Noodles. We can definitely call this kind of cuisine comfort food, especially during this chilly weather. Fun fact, my spouse took a little bit of my rice porridge to mix with the rest of her bowl to counter the spicy broth and the flavors were matchee so well. I did the same, taking broth from her noodle bowl to add to my porridge and it was so good. If you come if for the first try doing the same and tell us what you think. We immensely enjoyer the flavors, especially the fresh touch of the cilantro on top of the savory mushrooms.
