    There's nothing like a great slice of za and that's exactly what Pie Pushers dishes out. Tabbed as Durham-style pizza, Pie Pushers cooks up a very thin crust pie with a snappy crust. The crust is thin but dense which allows it to handle any gourmet toppings they put on. And Pie Pushers is pretty generous with their toppings so don't feel bad about the $3 - $5 per slice, price. Their plain cheese slice is great too, a good sign for any pizza purveyor. I've eaten with Pie Pushers several times and its always been good food and good service. Hard to believe they can put a pizza oven into that trailer of theirs but yeah, check out the picture. Thanks for taking care of my pizza fix , Pie Pushers!

    Ordered 2 sausage garlic knots and Local Firsthand (sausage) and Cluckin Peppas. Knots were much smaller than expected and contained little to no sausage. Served with cold pizza sauce. (Blah). They really had potential because the sausage was good but the execution was just very off. Really enjoyed the pesto base on the Cluckin Peppas. Was a little concerned about the olives but they added a nice salty touch.

    Got a sweet taste of heaven this past weekend at the Durham Food Truck Rodeo at Pie Pushers. I had read the reviews on Yelp and we starred it to be one of the "must haves" for the day so we waited in the long line for about 20 minutes. Totally worth it! We opted for the plain Jane slice of pepperoni pizza, not expecting much but holy cow- this pizza was heaven! The crust was so flavorful, despite being the traditional NY style thin crust. It completely blew me to a little town I like to call Flavortown (thank you Guy Fieri). Can't complain about price either, it was $3 a slice. Great price for most of the food items I saw available that day. Totally worth the line wait if you are around this food truck, make it a priority!

    I had four run-ins with Pie Pushers at different gathering all across Chapel Hill and Durham, and at each event I made it my point to always get in queue for Pie Pushers. You might ask, "but I thought you said you are lactose intolerant?" To that I answer, "Why yes I am! and that's how much I like their pies, willing to sacrifice temporary discomfort just for a taste." What draw me in the first time was the catchy color contrast on the truck, but what kept me going back time after time is their taste. Get a slice, and you will see (or taste) what I meant. First of all, this is the giant, thin slice that you would get from a NY pizzeria, just the right balance between dough and the toppings; speaking of toppings, sure Pie Pushers has your regular cheese slices and pepperoni slices, but they also have others that are quite unique and inventive, and varies almost every time you drop by their windows. If you order a whole pie, beware of the hungry eyes staring at you sending evil vibe if you happen to take the last creative invention of the day.

    Some friends and I headed to Fullsteam after dinner at Toast, which I love, and while waiting around for The Parlour to arrive (they were pulling up at 9:00) we decided that, since we definitely needed more food we should try a slice from the Pie Pusher's truck. I mean, it isn't like I had just eaten the three-cheese and truffle oil panino at Toast, and wasn't already stuffed with cheesy goodness. I mean, why not add a pizza to the mix, right? To be fair, this slice was split among four people, but between the grilled cheese from Toast, the pizza, and the ice cream from the Parlour later on, the amount of dairy fat in my body could not have been good. Anyways, the pizza: It was good! Thin crusted, crackly, with a good crunch all the way through. I prefer a little bit more sweetness in my sauce but overall this was a solid cheese slice. I think I might like Klausie's, another local pizza truck that I tracked down once, a bit more-but that could be because it was a big ordeal for me to get there and sometimes food just tastes better after a struggle. Also, Klauise's pizza is much different from Pie Pusher's-a thick, grandma-style slice vs. a thin slice. I guess it depends on your mood. I'd also like to try Pie Pushers on a not-full stomach, and maybe get one of their slices with toppings. On a side note, the ladies running the truck were super duper nice! Also, if you are at Fullsteam/Motorco and not in the mood for pizza, the Farmhands Food Sausage Wagon is usually parked nearby. I am loving this food truck movement, truly.

    Last night I finally got to experience some Pie Pushers glory! I've been waiting a long time for this. It was worth the wait. The guys were so friendly and the service was fast. Having pizza on a Friday night is family tradition and this pie pushin' experience didn't disappoint! - 1 really good sized slice of Pepperoni Pizza - $3 - 1 sausage garlic knot, with real fresh garlic inside, plus a little marinara sauce for dipping - $1 - 1 bottle of water - $1 +$1 tip Perfect Friday night staple for a chill night in Durham hanging out at Full Steam. Thanks most of all for the smiles guys.

    Found them in a park on a Saturday afternoon. My friend wanted some pizza so we drove to the park to get the pizza. I wasn't too hungry but was intrigued by their garlic knots. She got the pizza with everything-sausage, pepperoni, salami, and some veggies. I thought the pizza was super tasty and was a big thin slice. The garlic knots were not good. I had one pesto and one sausage. They didn't have enough garlic for me. I really liked the consistency of bread and the concept but not the flavor. I would go back for the pizza and the garlic knots if I had some butter garlic sauce to dip them in after ordering. The woman who took our order was friendly. I would try them again.

    I wouldn't go so far as to say that Pie Pusher is my favorite pizza place in the Triangle or my favorite food truck, but they are pretty darn good. For $3-4 their slices are very large and will fill you up (which is a pretty good value for a food truck). I've had several different flavor combinations and all have been tasty, although my favorite is probably the brunch pizza with bacon, sausage, cheese and potatoes. The knots are pretty good too if you want a side (and at my last visit they had buffalo chicken knots which were amazing). I wouldn't go out of my way to have Pie Pushers, but I will certainly grab a slice whenever they are at my local brewery as they are fresh, affordable and quick.

    Delicious pizza! I tried the pizza at the Durham Food Truck rodeo and was very impressed.

    Local firsthand full pie minus the mushrooms ($15+change).

    I love pizza, but didn't expect anything "mind blowing" from a pizza food truck. Pie Pushers might not be overflowing with toppings, but they make a tasty pie that makes for a solid meal anytime you run into them. I will say, their pizza's are best FRESH, the first time I tried one of their pies, someone brought pies to our office and they'd been sitting for a bit, not great. The second time I tried their pies, at the Yelp Ritz Market, it turned my thoughts around and made me try them again recently at Ponysaurus. We ordered a whole "Local Firsthand" hold the mushrooms (tomato sauce, local sausage, bell peppers, fresh garlic and mozzarella), which came to $15 & change for a whole pizza with eight large pieces. Again, the pies are light on the toppings, but the crust isn't "floppy" and the flavor is good. It's not going to be the best pizza you ever taste and I won't stalk them at a food truck rodeo, but they're a great brewery option.

    Emmy squared is excellent pizza (if a little, maybe a lot pricey). It's Detroit style which is…read moresimilar to Chicago style in that it's a deep pan cooked pizza but it's more like standard pizza than Chicago style which is almost more like a lasagna or something. I really enjoy Detroit style pizza and it's not something you see a lot of around NC so that's nice. They also have a very good Gluten Free option which is nearly the same as the traditional crust - and if you ask they can mock up the cheesy sticks using the GF crust as well. The service is always super friendly at any location I've been to. As I mentioned, it's pretty pricey for pizza but it's also something you can't quite get around here otherwise and it's a nice place to go for something like date night.

    I did carry out and it was my first visit. I'm not new to Detroit style by a long shot so I was…read moreexcited to try it. The flavor is a 4.5/5. The sauce is pretty darn good. Sweet with a little bit of tang and you can definitely taste the seasoning. The crust has the right thickness the right crunch and the right give. The crust could stand to have a little more flavor but overall it was a solid crust. My issue with the food was for $25 on a 8x10 pizza, there should be enough cheese in the mix to cover more than 60% of the pizza. They have a "signature cheese blend" but then 40% of the pizza doesn't get any of it. A bit disappointing. Which gives the value a 2/5 at best. In addition to these two factors I was asked my name for the order when I arrived. The young lady walked off and then I spotted her on her phone in the corner, followed by folding pizza boxes in a different corner. Eventually a gentleman approached with the same question. Wouldn't you know it, my order was sitting right there next to the host stand. Not impressive. The ambiance is a bit pretentious for a place serving pizza which I found to be pretty greasy. The ambiance definitely matches the price so I guess that's what they are going for. The only lot for parking is paid but I suppose that may be the norm for "downtown" Durham. The flavor again was very good, but the value and the competency of the staff are a miss. As a frequent traveler I think I'd explore the other options next time rather than return.

Crispy outside, cheesy inside, sweet and spicy sauce (literally finger-licking good). - Fried Chicken (Vodka sauce, fried chicken, mozzarella, red onion, bell pepper, chili sauce, parmesan, parsley): Loved the creaminess of the sauce, the quantity of toppings was just right, the crust was utter crispy perfection. - Eggplant Alla Norma (San Marzano tomato sauce, fried eggplant, crushed tomatoes, mozzarella, pecorino/parmesan): Overall very tasty, but would have appreciated a bit more eggplant. - House Made Tiramisu (Imported Italian ladyfingers soaked in espresso, Kahlua, Goslings dark rum, whipped mascarpone crème, dusted with cocoa): Very coffee-forward but balanced well with the cream, not too sweet. Service was amazing, our server heard my dad talking about how much he liked the hot honey sauce from the polenta dish and brought us some more on the house! You seat yourself and order off a QR code on your table. Ambiance is casual, it's like a converted garage. Nearby free parking is a little sparse unfortunately, but there were some spots in front of the restaurant. 10/10 would recommend!
