This place is a GEM! Great food and amazing service. My wife has been going here for years but this was my first time getting to experience them. We went on a whim, just happen to be in the area and wanted something good. It's located on a busy street in a busy parking lot, so get your mind right. Really, prepare yourself (especially if you are going during a high traffic time) as there are people and cars EVERYWHERE. However, the actual shop is small but clean. You can tell it is older but nothing that will scare you away. The menu is pretty practical and simple - Pizza, wings, salads, sub, etc. the norm you would look to find at a Pizzeria. I took a look at the menu and was surprised to see they had fried Zucchi available - YUM! We ordered Chef Salad with ranch which came with garlic bread Fried Zucchi Chicken Philly Cheesesteak with peppers, cheese, mayo, and onions Large Ranch The order took about 15 mins to be prepared and everything was fresh and hot. The fried zucchi was sooo crunchy and seasoned very well. You received a very large portion for the cost (greatly appreciated!). The salad was HUGE with meat, cheese, hard boiled egg, and cheese. We ate on that salad for two days and each time it was just as good as the first time! The breadsticks were okay, nothing really special about them - just breadsticks lol. Oh, the ranch, THE RANCH! It was soooo good on EVERYTHING. Please get an extra one or three when you order and thank me later! The cheesesteak was the winner of the meal. Tender chicken, veggies cooked soft and cut perfectly to match the size of the meat. Not tooo much mayo, just enough to enjoy on the sandwich and a good amount of cheese to top it off. I look forward to trying some other items off their menu - like the other sandwiches, salads, and of course the pizza! read more

I hardly ever write reviews or feel the need to blast a bad meal but THIS could not go u checked!! I ordered a small pepperoni, sausage pizza with onions. From the moment the delivery person handed over the BOX, the order WREAKED of onions!! So much so my entire HOME smells like onions!! I spent over a half hour picking off onions (which were chopped in HUGE chunks and just thrown on top in mounds). NO ONE could eat the pizza because all you smell in every slice ... was uncooked ONIONS. I've attached a pic of just how many I picked off!! RIDICULOUS!! read more

We got take out from here. Food was pretty good. I like the old school NY pizza shop vibe. I'm sure we'll be back when a craving for pizza hits. read more

The food had a nice taste. It was cooked to order and fresh. It was plenty! The cashier didn't seem too engaging as this was my first time, so I just made an assumption of what I wanted to try. It's in a shopping center next to other restaurants and feels like take-out, so I ordered mine to go. read more

The food is great. I eat there several times a month. The service is very good. I will be back.

Relocated New Yorker here. I had given up on good mid priced pizza in Durham but I am happy to say that this place has saved me. It hits the spot. Great sauce, crispy crust and fresh ingredients. I was lost but now I'm found read more

We did a take out lunch order today, and really enjoyed our dishes and sides! They were quick to get everything ready for us (only a 10 minute wait time), and everything tasted fresh! They staff made sure we had everything we needed in the bags to enjoy the full meal back at our hotel room...perfect!!! Don't you love it when they think of everything?! The eatery was clean and well maintained, the staff were super friendly and on point, and it was a really great first experience all around that left me wanting to come back to try their Stromboli...the pics looked delish!!! read more

I can't claim to be an authority on NY style pizza, but having lived in Boston, I've had my share of pizza slices. This place hits it. Big foldable slices, shakers of parm, garlic powder, oregano, and red peppers seem pretty authentic to me. The cheese was spot on. Haven't had toppings yet, but will definitely be back when the hankering for a real slice hits. read more

Disappointing. All posted prices are if you pay cash. If you use an electronic payment, they add a 5% processing fee. Posted signs say "Cash 5% Discount" which does not explain the pricing system clearly. The staff is young (Tues 12:30pm) and moves quickly but the pizza was mediocre and the side salad was 2-3 days old. read more

It's very rare for me to leave a comment like this. Pizza was a lil greasy, but was on point. Not too soft, not took crunchy. Wings are A1. Can't wait to try their sandwiches. read more

I ordered a pizza and cheesecake. The huge slices of cheesecake were in a glass display and already prepackaged in clear, plastic containers They were large enough for my husband and I to share- or so I thought. When I came back to pick up my cheesecake and pizza, the cheesecake was in a plastic bag so I couldn't see inside. It turns out, the Cheesecake I received was half the size of what I ordered. We can see where it was sliced before half was removed. I would not have ordered it if I was informed that it would have been sliced in half. In addition, it doesn't it even taste good. I was robbed, and I will not be coming back. read more

There pizza is pretty solid and they have great specials throughout the week. Overall, I have stopped here multiple times. Their large pizza is like an X-Large Pizza so you will have leftover. The medium seems to work for 2 and we still have leftovers. I also get the fries, which are crispy! Overall, great solid pizza! read more

I'm a fan of this no-nonsense, super friendly, great-at-what-they do pizza joint. You can order pizza by the slice or pie, and they have great lunch and all day combos as well. A large pizza is eight enormous, NY-style slices, and their toppings have been, as a rule, excellent. This location (and the others?) don't deliver. They have a GrubHub sticker on their door, but as of today, IP doesn't take orders online. However, they're great about taking orders by phone for pick-up, and they have plenty of casual seating for eating in. And FYI, there are additional deals on Mondays! (Update: Rumor has it they deliver from Seamless...) I'm so glad to have Italian Pizzeria around because I always feel taken care of when I eat here. I know I'll get great, fast, and competent service, and probably be greeted with some combination of a New York & Italian accent, which must be one of the most reliable indicators of good pizza, amirite? The food will be so fresh and delicious, and if I'm grabbing it for a group, I'm confident it'll be a hit. Stop on by and make this place part of your pizza rotation -- your food-life will be better with IP in it! read more

Pickup service fast and on time. Service staff responsive and pleasant. BUT pizzas were a disaster. Bottom of crusts on both burned black (inedible). Top of crust dough under topping was raw. Are the ovens too hot? First and last time for patronage. read more

I was supposed to have my food delivered at 12:04, I waited 45 minutes and just got a call at 12:15 saying that the driver had been there for 30 minutes and they couldn't find my order. This is the second time I've ordered from here and both times have been horrible read more

Yum! I found this spot on a search for lunch the other day and it was awesome. I got the cheese steak super special & it was everything that I hoped for! I would definitely get this again. I haven't tried the pizza yet but it is NY style. They also had a selection of great lunch deals. I will definitely be coming back for another cheese steak or to try the pizza! read more

I loved this place! Small, authentic pizzeria! Service was outstanding and the pizza was loaded with fresh ingredients in an hand tossed delicious crust! Not a fancy restaurant but delivers on flavor! read more

A co worker and me were talking about eateries near our apt. complex and I realized I hadn't tried this one...Asked the nice waitress what sandwich she recommended and she suggested the Cheese Steak. .Definitely very good and it looks like they get return customers. I will be Back!!!! read more

Zero Stars, the worst delivery and customer service experience I have ever had. I would never order from them ever again. The food order was thrown in the bag French soggy because they were place in non vented containers. When i called to advise management of the condition of my order the rudest person identified as the manager, was unyielding and kept asking "So what do you want me to do about it?: I am done with them do not spend your money here. read more

So in love with this place. Would give it more then 5 stars if I could. I don't know much about Italian food or New York food to tell you the truth but I love, love, love the specialty Philly cheese stake, Wing, and the pizza. Those 3 are the only items me and my husband go for. The Philly is so full of flavor its moist but not soggy the bread is very crispy. The wing are fully cooked and crunchy. The pizza... oh the pizza its just out of this world. defiantly recommend it. Customer Service is a plus! read more

I was looking for something a little different and found this place. I ordered an Eggplant Parm sandwich and i was impressed i got it nice and hot but and it was delicious!!! how ever there were a couple of things i didn't like about it. 1.) it had little to no sauce (i like mine with a lot of sauce) and 2.)cheese was stuck to the wrapping but there was a lot of cheese which mad me happy. so i decided to go back i ordered my sandwich with extra sauce and the cheese still stuck to the foil a little bit but I was even better then the first time!!! This is just a hidden jewel now to try the pizza!!! read more

This is like the 4th Italian Pizzaria in Durham , The food @ this location is by far the best and the Pizza tastes like Up North N.Y. Style and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed ; It's a good lunch spot as well . I definitely will come back here when I'm in the mood + they have good fresh salads too! read more

We ordered lunch today using Uber eats. My son in the original order requested no cheese on his pizza. He has a pizza allergy and cannot eat cheese. So just as insurance he immediately called Italian pizzeria to make sure that they did not put cheese on his pizza. The person answering the phone was unable to communicate cheese or no cheese. We called back to again try and confirm no cheese on the pizza. The person then informed us the pizza was already made in the oven and had cheese on it and there was nothing they could do about it they did not offer any sort of correction or refund and were extremely rude in the process. I will not return to this restaurant again. read more

Perfect On our way south and popped in- desiring something quick and yet comforting Italian Pizzeria didn't disappoint Salads aren't much to write about with the exception they are fresh, but who goes to a pizzeria for salad? We each got a slice; one cheese and one with mushrooms. There were ample mushrooms which made me smile and my tummy happier Worth the stop! read more

First day at new address. Tired. Hungry. Ready to eat something hot and yummy. ITALIAN PIZZERIA DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!! When I say the cuts were precise and just right, and the blend of toppings married perfectly- YYYEEEESSS!! I am very pleased and we look forward to trying more yumminess from this eatery. Thanks for a great first meal in my new home. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped this place after a nice few hours at eno. We were HUNGRY. I chose this place to stop by on the way home and I have to say We were deeply disappointed. They messed up my order and I payed $.50 for ranch. Im not bothered I had to pay for ranch as much as I am with the fact that the only reason the pizza was good was because of the ranch. The slices were bland, smaller than other places, and had kind of a burnt taste. We usually like to sit near the back, or the empty room if they have one and this place had a big area that was closed off. The open area had worn down booths and gum under the tables. It was just not a great experience for either of us. We wont be back. read more

The food was delivered in a timely manner. The french fries were pretty good. However, the steak and cheese was one of the worst I've ever had. I'm so sorry to say this because I never leave bad reviews but this one was so bad that I just had to. The Cheesesteak had a smell to it that I can't pinpoint and I shouldn't even call it Cheesesteak because there was no cheese on it at all. Again, I'm really sorry to leave this bad review because I hate doing that. I always tip well and leave good reviews. Unfortunately, I just couldn't do that this time. So, please don't order the cheesesteak from this restaurant. It's just awful. read more

Very happy with this Pizza shop. The Pizza is very good. It is very close to what you will find in New York. Customer service is very nice. If you are looking for a good Pizza with all types of toppings then you are in a good place here at this location. read more

Just had the steak and cheese deliverd via GrubHub and my sandwich was absolutely delicious. I asked for added jalapenos and banana peppers and they supplied both. Definitely one of my new favorite go to's for a yummy steak Philly! My order arrived within the promised delivery window and the best part; my sandwich was still hot. Because I was craving dessert I also ordered a slice of cheesecake. I know to skip that next time, lol. Too bland. Was hoping there was a crust of some sort and an option for fruit topping. Other than that, that sandwich was kick ass. I'll be ordering my Philly's from here from now on. read more

Durham disappoints again. Why can no one answer the phone? I'm calling during normal business hours. Why is it so hard for a business to answer the phone. I don't understand. How do you stay in business if you don't answer the phone??? You've made it impossible for people to order food. read more

This place is SO SO GOOD!!! Coming from NY It is so hard to find pizza that is close to what we have back home. I can confidently say that this is the best pizza I have had in Durham! Also their chicken wings are delicious, hot and crispy. This will become my staple pizza place. read more

The delivery woman was really nice but the pizza arrived with all the cheese slid towards one side of the box and partially off the pizza and also it was lukewarm. The crust itself was underdone, and while it wasn't doughy, it definitely needed to be cooked a little more. And the sauce was just meh. More sweet than savory. My fiance and daughter thought it was okay - not good, not terrible - which is why I give this 2 stars instead of 1. I'm seeing a lot of positive reviews so maybe it was just a bad night or maybe I need to go in to the business to get a slice, but based on this experience (delivery through grubhub) it just wasn't good. read more

"i really want to eat stromboli for dinner, itll probably cost me the same to buy all the ingredients that it would to just order one.." fast forward to sitting at my dining room table and opening the most pathetic looking and tasting stromboli ive ever seen in my life. check the photo.. it tasted as poorly as it looked. however my friend macaroni and cheese were decent.. considering this place is apparently a chain, they must be doing something right. im going to assume someone in the kitchen just didnt know what they were doing and I got the short end of the stick.. but i'd have to get my next meal for free to have a chance to prove it. read more

Over the last year, I have been getting takeout pizza here. Quick, polite service. Good prices. Dining area is much like a Subway or other strip-mall pizza joint, but not bad. They have a steady stream of local customers. Pizza is not the only item ordered. Salads and sandwiches seem popular also. The pizza is great. Fresh dough with a little chew and crunch in each bite. Consistently fully cooked. The sauce has a little more spices than competitors. I normally order a single topping. The cheese is very stringy and generous. Sometimes the toppings will slide around on the pizza slightly on the 5 mile drive to my home. Just what you want when you want pizza. [Edit: Sept. 29, 2019: Stopped in for hot wings. 2 stars out of 5. Pricey for strip-mall wings. Runny ranch dressing. No celery. Looks as though just a commercial Heinz Buffalo Sauce was poured over wings after cooking.] read more
