Very quick service and friendly folks here - so warm and welcoming. Parking wise there's a garage nearby. It was kind of hard to find at first, hidden with a small sign and you go up a stairwell. I actually really appreciated that they had 1/2 pizzas as we weren't very hungry and just needed a quick bite. Perfect little place to eat at and would go again for the friendly service. read more

The pizza is consistently excellent and we love how creative they are with new pizza options. Great staff that are welcoming and inclusive. The dining area isn't large, but there are almost always a couple of tables open and it is always clean. It's the total package for a slice or two every time we are downtown. read more

I discovered Pie Pushers a few months back on the Durham Food Tour. The experience was great then so it has been on my list to return. So it was the perfect spot to dine before seeing 1776 at DPAC. Pie Pushers is on the second story and stairs are the only way to reach the restaurant so the venue might not be accessible to everyone. I liked the decor and there is a Where's Waldo figurine too. So try to find it when you are there. The staff is very friendly and helpful here. They have actual menus and a big menu on the wall behind the cash register. You can order just a slice; a half pie or a full pie. Gluten free is an option for the crust. You can create your own pizza from the toppings or choose from the specialty pizzas. Besides pizza, you can get sandwiches, salads and wings. Ordering is done at the counter and they give you a number and will bring your order to the table. I ordered the Spinach and Ricotta half of a pie pie so that was four slices of a normal pizza. I didn't think I could eat it all but it was just so good that I ate all four slices and enjoyed every bite. The pizza was cooked perfectly and just the right amount of each topping. I also saw that on Fridays and Saturdays they had strawberry shortcake so I just had to try that too. It was bigger than I expected with two warm biscuits, strawberries and whipped cream. I think it was homemade whipped cream as it was delicious and I don't normally like whipped cream. I couldn't finish the dessert but really enjoyed the strawberries and whipped cream. I will definitely be back to try some of the other pizzas and items on the menu. read more

COOL pizza joint. CREATIVE stone oven pizzas. This was my first visit and we only experienced one pie so take this review with a grain of salt. It was tasty but I wouldn't order same pie again. URBAN SHROOM Olive oil, mushrooms, herbs, garlic, pecorino, mozzarella, topped with arugula and a white sauce they call "Alabama drizzle". This is a thin crust pizza. It has real garlic cloves, which is delicious, but not the lie to choose on a date if you want to protect your breath. The Alabama Drizzle reminded me of salad dressing...think creamy garlic dressing. read more

A pretty good NY slice and they have a decent number of "standard" and special by-the-slice options. Wings (with Alabama sauce) were really good. And with fast service, this place came through in a pinch for us when we had to bail on a nearby restaurant after waiting for an hour only to have received 1/2 of our drinks (and no food). And the prices are very reasonable! Ambience is nothing special but they have adequate seating for a quick bite and drink. Great place to go if you are in a hurry or don't want anything fancy. Would definitely go back! read more

Decided to check out pie pushers after passing them a few times over the yearish that I've been here. What I noticed first was the awesome way that you walk in. There's a door on the side of another storefront that you think leads into that store, but actually, it leads to a staircase that takes you up to Pie Pushers. I am a sucker for a cute hidden spot! Next, I noticed the great customer service. Everyone was so nice and all smiles. They answered all of our questions and were so accommodating. My friend ended up getting a slice of the Sicilian and their cheese fries. And I got their salad and a slice of pepperoni and Sicilian. Honestly I wasn't a super fan of the pizza. However, their salad and fries were amazing! Instead of getting their "normal" cheese fries my friend got their fries with green onions, cheddar cheese, and goat cheese. Everything came together so well and the fries were super crispy!! Wow! And the Caesar salad was obviously house made with super creamy dressing and crunchy lettuce and croutons. I had to stop myself from finishing it before the pizza came! These two items shined way above their pizza and I would so come back for these. The pizza lacked a lot of flavor and the Sicilian had way too much bread for me. It was literally a thin layer of cheese and sauce and then a thick TX toast size of bread. It wasn't my jam, unfortunately. I would come back for the sides and the service! read more

Love Pie Pushers! It's in a great location in downtown Durham and always convenient. The pizzas we ordered came out quickly. The seating area is open and there is tons of natural light and plenty of places to sit. I noticed a bunch of folks here on their work breaks eating. It seems like a popular spot. The quality and flavor of the pizza were superb! My favorite was the pizza with the goat cheese and pesto with yummy fresh tomatoes. read more

I ordered a half Buffalo Chicken Pizza (only $8). The pizza was mildly spicy with a ranch drizzle and fresh scallion garnish. This flavor was very fresh and tasty, but I found myself craving more spice. For spicy food lovers, this is a great option. My order was ready within 10 min of placing my order and was it and fresh upon arrival. I received excellent customer service and I will return to try the Chicken Alfredo pizza. read more

Pretty good for a fast bite to eat in the city. We were there during weird hours, so we were able to walk right up and order. We each got slices with toppings, Hawaiian (no judgement, it's yummy) and pepperoni. I will say for the price you get some good sized slices! After we orders, the food came out hot and fast! I wouldn't say this was my favorite pizza ever, the crust was kinda bland, it was great for the price. I do wish I had taken some more time to look over the menu and maybe tried something else. Their garlic rolls looked amazing. I think if I came back, I'd give the calzone a try. Still, all in all it was a nice chill place to grab a quick bite before heading out to explore. Great for kids and groups. read more

IMHO, this is the best gluten-free pizza in Durham. Period. Lots of fun, specialty pizza options and tasty wings. My only critical feedback is to have a gluten-free bread option for the sandwiches. read more

I have been gluten free for eight years and this is by far the best gluten free pizza I have ever eaten. Most pizza places, even ones that have excellent regular pizza, pre-purchase gF crusts which often taste like cardboard. Not so at Pie Pushers. You could tell the crust was homemade. I ordered a half of the Queen Anne and it was fabulous -- thin, crispy crust loaded with flavorful toppings. Husband and I ordered the fried Brussels sprouts to share. They were great and the portion size was good. Husband ordered a slice of two of the specialty pizzas of the day -- the Cubano and the Local Firsthand -- and enjoyed the unique combinations. Service was friendly and food came out super fast and hot. Can't wait to try another pizza soon. read more

My sister and I stumbled upon this place. We were out just walking in the area and decided to grab a slice of pizza. The restaurant sort of has a laid back atmosphere. We sat next to the window which has a decent view. We did notice a not-so pleasant stench around our area. Yet, the pizza was delicious. We also ordered a strawberry shortcake and it was described to us as an actual "shortcake." However, it was 2 thick biscuits covered in strawberries and whipped topping. We tackled it as best as we could. We tried to wash it down with a coke but they didn't have any straws or to-go cups. I honestly can't drink out of any restaurant glass with a bare mouth. read more

Disappointed that my order of take-out wings which was over $25.00 was precooked, tasting like cardboard. Wings brittle and hard. Not edible. Building not handicap accessible/friendly towards disabled and seniors. Follow up regarding concerns after initial review wasn't followed through although initiated by Pie Pushers themselves! Review contact links don't work! Presentation seemingly smoke & mirrors. Only seemingly concerned about public perception of brand and not customers. read more

Wing Wednesday always hits with the fried brussel sprouts would definitely recommend to anyone in town!

My family and I needed a quick bite to eat after shopping/exploring in the area and I glad we stopped in. The inside is very cozy and on the smaller side but still plenty of tables. We ordered the baked wings and a whole Big Meaty pie. The pizza was tasty and did not skimp on the toppings. My family and I enjoyed the thin crispy crust. Their baked wings featured the special rub. Although the wings were big and juicy I didn't care for the hint of sweetness on them. Overall it was a delicious meal! read more

The Breakfast pie was really nice. Bacon, sausage, and potatoes (who knew?!?) go together seamlessly. Thinner crust, a restrained amount of sauce (appreciated), and a healthy allotment of cheese make it a winner in my book. read more

SATURDAY LUNCH DATE: We drove from Knightdale, NC, to experience Pie Pushers for the first time. There were no disappointments. The greeting, staff, service, food, and environment were all enjoyable. The pizza was perfect- not greasy, crust cooked evenly (unburnt), with quality toppings. The salad and wings (cooked extra crispy per our request) exceeded expectations. We'll definitely be visiting again on our #FoodieCheatDay read more

A coworker recommended Pie Pushers to me while in town. I ordered Barb's margarita pizza, half a meatball sub, and the garlic knots to go. The pizza was pretty good. I did not love the meatball sub - it was not too flavorful. The garlic knots were a bit hard, but the marinara was good. I would definitely return for the pizza, but that's about it. Be careful walking inside as there is a large step up when walking through the door. Also, be prepared to walk upstairs to the dining area. read more

Pie Pushers definitely surprised us! It seems like nothing special at first glance, but the pizza was great and the vibes were 10/10. We got one of the signatures with pepperoni and country sausage, and it is one of the best pizzas I have ever had. My wife is gluten-free, and said her gluten-free pizza was perfect, too. Lots of different menu items to try! My only complaint is about the size of the space. Very limited seating. Other than that, I would definitely recommend eating here or taking it to go. read more

Hear about Pie Pushers on IG (Many great reviews, and many recommended). I can honestly tell everyone that those reviews were "100%" Accurate!!!!!! I'm giving 5 stars because I can't give more! The only slight problem (for some) is a walk up stairs into the restaurant. Total spent was $40 for (get this!) 1/2 Specialty Pie, Full Pie (3 additions), Side salad, and a brownie!!!!!! Pies were so very delicious, salad was great, and Brownie was scrumptious. Cashier was so very friendly, awesome, and helpful. Above All it's my favorite "Pizza" Place in Durham (The BullCity)!!!!! read more

Love this local pizza place! You can get a slice for a few bucks ($3 for cheese/pepperoni) or get a whole pizza to share with friends. In addition to their specialty pies, they rotate a variety of pizzas you can get slices of so you can always try something new here! They also have wings, and the wings are only 50 cents on Wednesdays! They also offer Saturday Brunch, which might be my favorite?! Their brunch menu varies from typical breakfast/brunch foods such as biscuits and gravy/omelets to more unique options like the breakfast pizza slice and the Jack Hacker, which is a thick slice of Sicilian pizza with lots of yummy things like gravy, bacon, cheese, etc. (SO GOOD; best thing I've eaten here). On my list to try are: deep fried devito and sausage gravy poutine! read more

I tried this place for the first time and it was really good! I ordered the baked wings (sweet & spicy) and a whole winter porker (pepperoni, bacon, red onions, mushrooms, and garlic). Let me start by saying the wings are EXCELLENT. Not over cooked but charred to perfection with a hint of sweet then spicy. The pizza was also really good but I think I would try a different one next time but my boyfriend loved this pizza. I also want to try different things like the poutine or fried Brussel Sprouts but I didn't think those would travel well. I can't wait to explore this menu more... it was my first time here so I can't wait to order more from here! read more

We read all about Pie Pushers before we ever stepped onto the sidewalks of Durham. We are in town often to visit our daughter and have enjoyed take out from Pie Pushers twice already. In this Covid world they are only doing take out. Being a tainted native New Yorker I am very skeptical of pizza outside of the Tri-state area. New Haven beats all by the way! But....Pie Pushers does a great job. The staff is friendly and attentive, even remembers our daughter's puppy Rex! Try it you won't be disappointed, a slice or a pie, you can't go wrong. read more

What I like about Pie Pushers is that you can find affordable yet high quality and tasty options. It's centrally located in downtown and now that their indoor dining is back open, it's great for a weeknight casual dinner or a weekend night out. I ordered a classic pepperoni slice and tried one of the weekly specialty slices. Both had great flavor but the specialty slice really stood out to me. It had a unique but amazing combination of toppings. I've had their cheese and pepperoni before and although good, nothing stands out. Therefore I recommend their specials. You can't beat the prices for cheese and pepperoni however so that makes them worth it. I also ordered a side of the Brussels and for $5, it came with enough to share with the table. (The sauce that comes with the Brussels is excellent). read more

This place has good pizza in general, but their brunch is extra delicious. They have a lot of options like breakfast pizza, or poutine with an egg on top. I opted for the "bottom of your shoe" pizza with green olives and sundried tomatoes. The crust is delicious and the pizza is unique and flavorful. I have also tried their salads and various loaded tots, and always enjoy everything. The location is cute and funky- I love the neon signs as you enter the building and walk up the stairs. The cashiers are always friendly, and the food comes out fairly quickly. I have also gotten delivery from them and it was quick and accurate. I'm a fan! read more

Ordered the Mama Mia for delivery -- classic toppings: basil, fresh mozzarella -- and it was fine! Heavy, large chunks of chopped garlic defined an otherwise just-tomato red sauce. Crust was strong, didn't absorb much of anything and had a good crunch. Big problem was that during delivery at some point, the pizza got turned on its side and all the toppings slid off to the side. Maybe i'd stop by in the night if i was downtown, but i wouldn't order delivery again. read more

So, I didn't actually try one of their pizzas, though my friend did and she didn't say that it was anything special. We went by during brunch so I decided to get their Eggs Benedict off their Saturday Brunch Menu. Though the eggs was perfectly poached, the hollandaise sauce didn't have much flavor so that was a bit disappointing. I did enjoy their fried spuds side though. The service though quick wasn't very friendly and the food was nothing to write home about. read more

There are several upscale pizza places nearby but it never hurts to have a great casual pizza joint near local bars. We've been following Pie Pushers since they were just a food truck. There pizzas are solid and consistent but this review is for their Saturday brunch. They have several great brunch options that are delicious and filling (I don't want to know how many calories, though. I had the Jack Hacker which is pizza crust covered in cheese and potatoes and topped with an egg. I was expecting this crust but this thing was massive. I was full for most of the rest of the day. I believe they only do brunch on Saturdays but it's worth a stop for a great, filling breakfast. read more

Very possibly the best GLUTEN FREE pizza I have ever had. Crust is incredible. The Buffalo Chicken is YUM! I'll keep coming back for more!

How is this place not better-known?? Stopped by here on a whim for a friend's birthday dinner and ended up enjoying the best pizza I've had in town so far. We shared the Shroom Lovers pizza (arugula, mushrooms, and "Alabama Sauce"), fried Brussels sprouts, and garlic knots. All were incredible: warm, fresh and so flavorful. I'll definitely be back this summer!! read more

Showed up there late on a Saturday night. This place is a second floor establishment so the best seats are at the window tables. I appreciated that they had a gluten-free crust option so I chose that for the half a pie size. I added mushrooms as my topping. The gluten-free crust was decent and they loaded on the mushrooms as if it was the last day on earth. He had the half portion of 'Barbs Margherita' which he did enjoy. Even the half portion IS HUGE so beware if you get a whole pie. It was ready pretty fast. He got a beer and I got a soda so it was good to see they had alcoholic beverage options. The crowd was an interesting mix of people- date night, girls night, semi- drag queens, a table of single guys. Fairly eclectic and unexpected. read more
