01/02/2026 My wife and I were in the area looking for lunch and originally planned to try another local spot. When we arrived, we were told they were already out of food for the day, even though it was about 20 minutes before closing. I asked for another recommendation, and they suggested Sofia's, which was just down the road. Parking in the area appears to be street parking only, but we were able to find a spot without much trouble. We walked in it's a small pizza and sub place, were greeted right away very friendly, the lady behind the counter gave us 2 menus said it's easier to read than looking up. So we sat down looked over the menu, we finally decided on sharing a steak and cheese sub with potato wedges for our side. Our order came out and this steak and cheese looked so good and the potato's look outstanding I went up to the counter and I don't know what made me ask for ranch instead of ketchup for the potato's but I did. I split the sandwich with my wife and picked up a potato and that first bite was WOW the potato's were cooked all the way through and very crispy all around. Then I dipped the potato in the ranch OMG this ranch was probably one of the best homemade ranch dressings I've had!! The steak and cheese sandwich we ordered it without lettuce and tomato I usually get extra raw onion but forgot to get them but the sandwich came with fried onions and mushrooms. There was a perfect amount of meat to mushrooms onions and cheese the bread was soft with a light crunch. I usually put a mix of ketchup and vinegar on my steak and cheese but this one needed nothing. And again if you like potato's these wedges are a MUST!! When in the area we will be back. read more

We were in the neighborhood one mid-afternoon and we were hungry so we stopped in here (we had been years ago). It's a nice little locally owned pizza shop with some other Italian items -- nothing special, but affordable. The chicken marinara sandwich came with a little salad which was a nice touch. My wife's calzone was massive and we had to take half of it home to eat later. I read that they also own the little Mexican food truck in the parking lot, so we'll have to try that sometime. This is in a growing neighborhood with shops, restaurants and even a new wine bar nearby. read more

The pizza was exquisite! We both ordered the slice, salad, and drink lunch special. The salad was really fresh too. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. Only con is the parking. There's maybe 6 spots on the street and two pickup spots. Small and quaint inside but there's also outdoor seating. A great place for a quick bite if you're in the area. read more

We did take out for girl's night. The pizza was good. The knots even better. Very NY style crust which we all enjoyed.

Food is delicious and service is timely and typically above average in terms of availability for immediate pickup on orders!

I had lasagna it was good, I love the lemon pepper chicken fried hard, pizza and the service was great I will eat there again

Love Sofia's pizza. I got a large pepperoni pizza which was cooked well done. It was about 16 bucks and had 6 slices. It was amazing. I loved how the big the slices were. I ordered online and just went inside to go pick it up which was really easy. read more

Great pizza with unique specialties. Try the East Durham, bacon, collards and serrano peppers. Don't forget to get their ranch dressing, best we've had! To Sofia's - please please bring back the Mexican pizza. It was amazing! read more

Went here for the first time today over lunch. The slice and salad special was served quickly. Food was fresh and pizza was delicious.

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I absolutely love the pizza scene in Durham, and I am adding this place to my list of go-tos. Indoor seating is limited. There are a lot of benches with umbrellas outside on patio. A lot of people seemed to order ahead and picked it up, so I might do that next time. They also have a few beers and soft drinks available in the refrigerator. read more

oh so delicious! ordered an extra large (20") vegetarian pizza for takeout on a sunday night. i live about half an hour away from sofia's and i got the text that the pizza was ready before i even reached the restaurant, which i found impressive. sofia's is sort of plopped in the middle of angier, and there's not really many great places to park. i am not good at parking and, if i were planning to dine in, the fact that there are only about 6 parking spots on the street probably would've stressed me out. but luckily they have an easier parking spot for curbside pickup! i got home and ate immediately. the pizza was huge (leftovers lasted me the next couple of days) and so tasty. the toppings--bell peppers, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and my favorites, caramelized onions and black olives--were pretty standard for any pizza place, but what really elevated this pizza was the delicious crust, which was lightly herb infused and perfectly soft. i could taste the rosemary on the edges of my slices, which made eating so enjoyable! i would absolutely love to grab a pizza from here again, but i won't dare to attempt to parallel park and eat in. i'll stick to takeout! read more

BEST PIZZA IN DURHAM! Love the fact everything tastes fresh! Love the fact they have a pesto pizza!!

The pizza here is not the best I've had in North Carolina, but for the price it is really good! It's a cool little spot, and they have more than just pizza. One of these days I want to go back and try some of their entrees. It's too bad that they're not open for dinner. I think they would probably do well! read more

I lived in Durham during COVID-19 and frequently got food from Sofia's. I'm a big meat pizza fan and found that the Carnivoro pizza was perfect for me. I really like Mellow Mushroom's Mighty Meaty pizza and I thought Sofia's Carnivoro was better. If anyone is looking for a meat pizza in Durham, Sofia's is the place to go. I also tried the Philly cheesesteak and potato wedges and they were great as well. Being a big Philly cheesesteak guy I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was, despite not being 100% traditional. It is certainly much better than all the other places in the area selling Philly's with lettuce & tomato in them. read more

When it comes to pizza, I can't get enough so I was curious when I heard about Sofia's online. A new pizzeria out in E. Durham, I took a trip over to check it out. It's in an interesting spot on Angier, there really isn't a parking lot so you'll need to grab a street spot on the side of the restaurant or further out. Inside it's super humble and still being built out. Bare brick walls, some formica tables and heaters with a small kitchen in back. But the pizza?! It's awesome! Thin-crust, tender and a bit crispy with plenty of great pepperoni, sausage and chorizo. Along with pizza, Sofia's offers up some sandwiches and wings, your basic pizza joint menu. Now I gotta say my star rating is a bit generous. Right now it's all about the food given how new they are. But if you like pizza, Sofia's is doing a lot of things right. read more

The hospitality is wonderful and the same for the food.i had the lunch special slice of pizza a drink and a gourmet salad with homemade dressing. I should have taken a picture I would definitely go there again. read more

Excellent local pizza joint. Not as fancy as some options around town, but this is great for takeout and they usually have great deals. Much better than any pizza chain. read more

What a gem! A perfect place tucked away in the neighborhood. Good thing we were looking for somewhere we haven't been and came across this place. The vibe is so nice because you get a sense of family right when you pull up. Everyone works together and is so nice. The pizza we got was so cheesy and good we finished it all. And the wings. We wished we ordered more!!! They were so good. I want to keep this place secret but at the same time tell everyone to GO GO GO TRY! read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVED the pesto chicken!!! The dough was absolutely wonderful, crust was crispy and thin, the ingredients were fresh and tasty! My first- and definitely NOT THE LAST time I will visit! The guy who took my order swapped out the arugula for adding bacon and it was just like a pizza I would get at Capital Creations in Raleigh that is sadly no longer in business. BUT NOW!! I can get my NEW FAVORITE PIZZA HERE! Even my co-workers were saying it was the best pizza and couldn't wait to order their own!! Delicious! I can't recommend this place enough! Next time I may just sit there and eat my pizza and have a beer!! Downfall- not enough parking- you have to park on the side of the street. But that small inconvenience will not prevent me from going again!!! Go give this mom and pop pizza joint a try! You'll never order from the franchises again! read more

Good pizza and good Philly cheesesteak! The crust had a good flavor. The food is also really fairly priced. And the pizzas are huge! We order an 18inch and it fed my entire family of four plus leftovers! Ordering online was easy. And for the reviewer who said it was in the hood - it is not! Just because you see black and brown people around an establishment doesn't mean it's in the hood. I would have felt perfectly fine and safe eating outside if we were able to!! This will now be our go-to for local pizza. read more

Some of the best pizza I've had in a long time!! Friendly staff and very reasonably priced.

The food is really good especially the pizza. Customer service is outstanding. I haven't had the chance to dine it but it has a nice atmosphere. read more

Our friends that live nearby just took us here for dinner, and WOW what a gem!! We can't stop talking about what amazing pizza this place serves, that's so unpretentious and inexpensive but still so GOOD! With a small, reasonably-sized menu that covers all the basics but still has some exciting blends, the food here really wows! We had the East Durham, with collard greens, bacon, and serrano peppers, and the Italiano, with salami, sausage, cherry peppers, and kalamata olives. Both of these pizzas were incredibly delicious and LARGE for only $16 and $17!! The wings were great too with quality meat and homemade dips! Oh and the beer!! They keep it simple with just three local brews, for just $3!! Four people with a pizza, beers, garlic bread and wings was under $50! The atmosphere is just too cute. It's not pretentious, not fancy, and not too big, just enough room for several tables, a register, and a pizza window, all you need really. Tons of space outside for a patio, and a charming second building with the bathrooms and the main kitchen. It's a neat and different type of place and we just loved it. Oh and the owner is super friendly! Our friends come here often so he came out to see us and ask us how we're doing and how's the food, he was so sweet! We can't wait to go back and try the subs and pickup dinner, even though we live all the way in South Durham! read more

Humble family owned latino pizza place. The pizza was very good. Light thin crust with fresh toppings and a good crunch. I had LaGuerra ricotta parmigian pine nuts and arugula and pesto . Nicely done. Will return to try other flavor pizza. read more

Absolutely best pizza ever. I'm visiting from out of town and took a chance on trying a place new to me. So glad I did! I'll definitely order the chicken pesto pizza again on my next visit. Great crust, fabulous flavors! Highly recommend! read more

The pizza was great and the slices were massive. The lunch special is awesome. Two slices and a drink for around five dollars. Can't beat it! read more

I just tried Sofia's Pizza for the first time the other day, and it was great! I was drawn to the menu because they seemed to have some unique pizza options. I tried the East Durham, which has collard greens, bacon, and serrano peppers. The bacon was nice and crisp, and the peppers provided just the right amount of kick. The 14" pizza was a great size and a good value for the cost. I do agree with some reviews here that the crust was maybe the one drawback of this pizza. It was a little dry on the pie I ordered. However, this really didn't ruin my overall enjoyment of the pizza, and I definitely plan to return to this cute neighborhood pizza spot again. read more

The deeply unfortunate thing about this quarantine situation is that I always want pizza but can't eat gluten OR cheese. UGH. BUT let me tell you: Sofia's came to the rescue! They have maybe the best cauliflower-based crust I've had in the Triangle so far. We ordered two pizzas: one veggie, and one gluten-free supreme with no cheese (I added Daiya when it came home lol). According to my partner, the veggie was great, had lots of flavor, tons of veggies, and was baked to perfection! The gluten-free crust comes in 12 inch, well baked, looked like real crust! The supreme was awesome and had everything you'd want in a supreme: lots of different meats and veggies. We also ordered wings-the lemon pepper was great and the chipotle sauce was def homemade, which is great. Ordering online was SUPER easy and the curbside pick-up was no problem. Very excited to try other pizzas of theirs (I'm looking at you the East Durham!) and can't wait to try them in store one day :) read more

Love their pizza and their sandwiches. Their pressed sandwiches are awesome! Check 'Em out!

I wanted to like this place but the food just wasn't good. I didn't even eat my garlic knots. Not only were they burnt but the cheese tasted old and the knots taste like they were sitting in the fridge for too long. The pizza had zero redeemable qualities. I could tell it was sitting, it was super greasy, and barely had any sauce. The service was good and the Ambiance is a standard pizza shop. read more

Great neighborhood pizza place. The food is fresh and good across the board. The staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. Don't waste your money on a conveyor belt pizza when this hand made pizza is available for around the same price. read more

Do you know what Sofia in Italian means? Flavorless. I'm sorry. I know. You see the images here on Yelp of the pizza and it looks amazing. I know. When you get the pizza it looks just like the images. The problem is that it unfortunately tastes like the images. If you were able to eat pixels, it would taste like the pizza. I'm actually perplexed at how they've managed to remove the flavor. I wonder what type of process they used. It's too bad. The staff is cool. Good atmosphere. Just an absence of flavor. Sorry. read more

This was a find. Called one of the more hyped pizza joints and the wait was an hour plus. Called Sofia's and they were very nice. Suggested paper plates and double cut for kids. Took payment over the phone and ran it out to the car. Best part? Solid NY style pie!! We all loved the pizza! Kids, mom, and dad really loved it and will likely be back before heading home from this trip. It was ready in 15 minutes and is now clearly highly recommended by this reviewer. read more

Definitely agree with another reviewer below that they don't appear to add any seasoning whatsoever to their pizza dough. No salt, no sugar. It's nearly devoid of flavor entirely and is not pleasant. The cheese sticks? Please do not order them. They are tasteless. Supposedly a garlic and cheese bread, but not a single drop of garlic was used in the making of the breadsticks that I received, and barely any cheese. Mostly just the tasteless crust. The pizza toppings were pretty fun and original, hence the +1 star, but being on top of this crust rendered it pretty moot. I was really excited to try this place, but it just was not good. read more

Really great NY-style pizza with inventive flavor combos. I especially love the La Guera (pesto, peppers, arugula and pine nut) and East Durham (collards, bacon, and chili peppers). The pizzas are a great value for the price. Friendly staff. I definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more
