I was hugely excited when Sofia's opened, and am still hugely excited that they are in the neighborhood. We order from them weekly, usually pick up and most of the time it's ready when we get there (some 15-20 minutes after we order) but sometimes it hasn't even been started yet and it seems unrelated to how busy they are. We really like our favorite, the La Guera, which has spicy italian peppers on it. And I really like the prices. I was impressed when I ordered a salad that it wasn't iceberg or romaine lettuce but actually a very nice spring lettuce mix. My complaints all come down to the seasoning. It's like they don't add salt or any other seasonings to the dough or something. We once got the cheesy breadsticks and I would not recommend them. They were bland and tasted like nothing. The veggie pizza was totally good and at $15 for a large is a great deal for a non-chain restaurant. But anything that doesn't have boldly flavored toppings really falls flat, which is disappointing. If you get a bite of crust by itself it honestly holds no flavor. None. Like, I'm not used to tasting nothing when I'm chewing on pizza crust... Overall I love them and am excited that they are in business and will continue to support them as they continue to grow and improve. But my willingness to stray outside of the things we know we like is diminished with the number of other items I try. read more

Pizza that is excellent, affordable, and massive! I have never had a bad experience with Sofia's Pizza. The staff is friendly, and they make some of the best pizza in Durham. read more

We moved to NC about 18 months ago and we are kicking ourselves for waiting this long to try Sofia's! We ordered takeout--order was ready on time. My husband got a large pepperoni/hot wing combo that was on promotion; and I got a gluten-free East Durham. Super delicious cauliflower crust, and the combo of sauce plus peppers, bacon and collard greens was so tasty. The wings were the unexpected hit of our order! Meaty wings, delicious sauce with tons of flavor (both chipotle and Buffalo), and awesome homemade ranch (and my husband is suuuuper picky when it comes to his ranch dressing). We will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Decided to give this place a try and I am so glad I did. I tried the Philly Sub and it was affordable, "philling" and delicious. I will be back. The place which use to be an old auto repair shop is small but cozy. Retro but modern. I really like the vibe. Next time I will try one of the Mexican sodas. They look really good. It's great to see Durham coming alive. The parking stinks but the effort is well worth it. This place should be on your must try list. read more

I was excited to try the pizza based off the reviews, but I was a bit let down. As other people have mentioned, the dough really is flavorless. It just tastes like nothing. I don't know if they need to add some salt, or maybe spread some garlic butter on the crust or what. I didn't even want to eat it. Another disappointment is the cheese. I love to pull a slice out of the box and have those oooey gooey strands of mozzarella cheese tugging to the slice next to it. That's when you know you have some good cheese on your pizza. Unfortunately, I saw nothing like that getting my slices out of the box. It's like when you're getting a piece of pizza cold out of the box, but this pizza was piping hot. Seriously bummed about that. The pizza (I got a pepperoni) itself was alright. The pepperonis taste great and the cheese is passable, but I doubt it's anything I'll eat again. I may go back to Sofia's Pizza to try one of their subs or wings. The price ($13 for an 18" pizza) is great, but not enough to convince me to give the pizza a second chance. read more

So I wanted to support a fairly new local business and ordered a pizza at 830 through the online site for delivery. I received the text updates at 915 that they were delivering my order. Then I got a call five minutes later that I live 13 miles away (I don't, that's the long route - I live 8 miles away) and that they only deliver within 3 miles so I could pick it up or get a refund. 1. Fix the site so it only allows a certain radius. 2. Aren't you losing more money by not delivering and wasting it? 3. The girl on the phone said "well the website says 3 miles" like somehow it was my fault. I don't write reviews, I downloaded the app just for this. I'm sure the pizza is good but your customer service is not. read more

We wanted to try something new instead of the same old pizza so we tried Sofia's. We had the Italian Pizza and loved the toppings. I was not crazy about the crust but my husband liked it. I just thought it was kind of bland and boring. The chicken wings were really good and very meaty! read more

So this new place is on the edge of gentrification in east Durham. Marked free street parking and a small lot, this was an old service station. Now it is a glassed in gem with crispy crust pizza. Right now the view through the windows is old Durham and the food we've tried on our first visit was yummy and reasonably priced. Looking forward to many more pizzas to eat in or take out. Give them a try. Open for lunch through evening daily. read more

Today must have been a bad day for them. I'm sitting here with only one other person waiting on my order of 2 Pizzas i had placed 45 minutes ago and was told would be done 20 minutes ago. I hope it at least tastes as good as last time. Update: I received my 2 pizzas after 50min from when I called and ordered and the two people who ordered after I had arrived (i had arrived after 20min as i was told that's when the order would be ready) got their pizza before me. The pizza itself was ok at best. I probably won't order there again any time soon. read more

Given such recent positive reviews, my husband and I ordered a pizza and chicken tenders for delivery. The large pizza with sausage, serrano peppers and mushrooms was bland with the toppings concentrated towards the bottoms of each slice. The dough didn't cook evenly. The chicken tenders were overly salted, and the ranch served was dill-heavy and congealed. No complaints on delivery service. The product itself didn't stand up at all to what other reviewers have shared. This is a far cry from NY style pizza. As a carb fan, I never leave a pizza slice behind. I left them all behind on this one. read more

My partner and I recently discovered Sofia's and realized we were in the delivery range. We ordered for the first time tonight (a pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and spinach, and garlic knots) and it was all delicious. I got the order confirmation email at 6:04 (noting that it would be delivered between 6:40-6:47) and the delivery person was here at 6:32! Such fast service, and so tasty. We're all about supporting local restaurants and Sofia's will definitely be one of our new regulars! read more

This is a great pizza place! Extremely tasty different styles & original pies! I have been there twice and tried different kinds of pies there all great so far!! And staff is very friendly. Place is extremely clean also! Great work & welcome to the neighborhood!! read more

We like the pizza and the garlic knots. Prompt service and consistent taste. You can't go wrong with them

Cute little Italian place. Not the best part of town but worth the visit. Had the lasagna. Will be back for chicken parmigiana or pizza!

You know when you're in the mood for a really tasty, low key pizza that'll make you excited to eat the leftovers? That's this pizza. A really flavorful crust with great toppings and one of the best pizza sauces I've had. I went to work the next day and told everyone they need to try Sofia's Pizza. read more

Staff was so friendly and welcoming! While the signs are #Durm are changing! This location is truly some #GoodHumans bringing some great pizza to the local area!!! Definitely going back. #SupportLocal IG: @durhampopup read more

Sofia's Pizza is just simply terrific. Reasonable rates for the area. Absolutely tasty and also healthy. The customer service is always outstanding. Sofia's Pizza = A must try. read more

Do not order from this restaurant using Grubhub. They call them to tell them what the order is, and they only listed the first ingredient on our pizza, so we paid for a supreme and only got pepperoni. They don't tell you that they don't see your full order prior to ordering. The lady I spoke with at the restaurant told me that I should use Door Dash because it's better in her opinion. Nothing was offered to rectify the poor customer service. Regardless of how good the pizza is, we won't be ordering from a restaurant with this type of service again. read more

I came here a few days ago for lunch with a friend. This place was very cool as soon as we walked through the door... so that was a plus. As for the food.. I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! This was some amazing pizza. They have a lunch special that is like two slices and a drink for $5 and I definetly took advantage of this deal!! I also hear the lasagnna is outstanding so I will definetly be back :) read more

Fantastic thin crust style pizza. Truly original custom pizzas, I barely made it back to work with digging in because it smelled sooooo good. I can't wait to try them again! Be sure to order extra because you'll want the leftovers. I'm excited to try their sandwiches. read more

Wow can't believe it took me so long to try this place out! The pizza is light and fluffy but extremely tasty. The owners seem really nice as well. Only downfall? It's in the MIDDLE of the hood. read more

Beautiful old service station has been converted into a pizzeria that is being run by some Old East Durham locals. It's a great place run by some friendly people. Solid pizza! read more

This was really good pizza when we had it delivered 2 days ago because the fastest route is at the 9 minute time at 3.6 miles. This was fine 2 days ago but now it does not appear to be fine. We did not speak to the manager or owner regarding this since they were "not available" at the time they called us back. They had already taken our money and confirmed the order as well before calling us back. I would have gone and picked it up if the person on the phone had not been rude about the delivery. While I enjoyed it I will not order and do not recommend this place to others. read more

I passed by this place while taking a detour from road construction and The Voices In My Head told me to go back and try a slice. HOLY CONNOLI it was good. I'm an Italian Pizzaria guy but this is definitely where I'd go if I want something modern. It was NOT thin crust, but not criminally thick and it was deee-lish !! Atmosphere is cold and hard. Get take-out. read more

My new go-to wings joint on our side of town. The wings are large and the buffalo rub is spicy and great. I absolutely LOVE the homemade ranch dressing with fresh herbs. The salad portions were very generous too and the citrus vinaigrette was delicious. If you like thin crust pizza check this place out. We tried the East Durham and the flavor combo of bacon, collards, and spicy peppers was yummy. Very reasonable prices in a simple, modern setting. We'll be getting takeout again from this place soon. read more

I am impressed. My husband and I ordered takeout here today and it's really good. We ordered buffalo wings...very tasty yet spicy, Philly cheesesteak...delicious but could use a little more meat with all the trimmings, and carnivora pizza...perfectly seasoned and cooked. We spent 40 dollars but we'll eat off this all day. Great food at good prices! read more

Very good pizza overall! Ingredients seem fresh and the place seems very nice and well kept. There is not really a good place to park and the area external to the restaurant is a little run down. I have been looking for a quality pizza place in Durham like this though for a while. And the slices are enormous! The only addition I would add is a little more sauce on the pizza. We had asked for some on the side and added and it took the pizza to the next level! Very glad we found this spot and will be back for more. read more

Decent pizza at a good value, but maybe the worst garlic knots I've ever had. They were literally just stale pieces of dough with an imperceptible amount of butter or garlic. Their marinara, however, is pretty interesting and their staff is very friendly. read more

The pizza here is the best in Durham large slices flavorful, great service. Great addition to Durham. I hope this places is successful!

Absolutely fantastic, the best pizza I've had in Durham. As close to what I used to get back in NY/CT as I've been able to find here.

Nothing to rave about but decent pizza. The building is nice and clean. Staff is friendly and professional. It's a little out of the way for me so I won't return read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here! La Guera is a great pizza, and the subs are good. Loved the potato wedges and side salad was awesome. Perfect ranch. The customer service was top notch. The prices are lower than anywhere in downtown Durham - definitely worth checking out! read more

My favorite lunch place!!!! Love the chicken philly, the salads are awesome! The pizza looks so good but I haven't tired it yet. Usually always parking and quick to get in and out for lunch! read more

So good!! Their meats are top quality, love the chorizo especially. The crust is so so good, I generally throw away the ends of the crusts but their dough is so good and the pizza is baked so well, I always eat the crusts too. Will keep coming back and it's def worth the 30 min drive from chapel hill. read more

THEY HAVE CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA!! We got a regular pepperoni, cauliflower crust pepperoni, Stromboli and cheese bread. Everything was delicious, decent prices and a clean, new looking building. Try this place! read more

Great new spot for pizza. High quality and def the most New York type of pizza in Durham- foldable! Also incredible value for $

It is very satisfying indeed. Loved it and I will go back there often. I look forward to learning more about it and trying many of their locally sourced ingredients! read more
