Pizzeria Mercato · Carrboro
Pizzeria Mercato treats crust and market produce with equal attention, so its Weaver Street menu changes as ingredients move through the year. Choose a pie built around the current vegetables or a familiar classic.
Pizzeria Toro · Downtown Durham
Pizzeria Toro centers a wood-fired oven in its Chapel Hill Street dining room, producing blistered pies for a shared table. Order one restrained pizza that lets the crust show, then add the kale salad or another vegetable plate.
Oakwood Pizza Box · Oakwood, Raleigh
The News & Observer's Raleigh guide calls attention to the deeply flavored crust at Oakwood Pizza Box, while local coverage keeps the Person Street shop in the city's pizza conversation. The menu is compact and the pies are direct. Start with a cheese pie or a simple topping combination so the dough stays central.
Hutchins Garage · Geer Street
Hutchins Garage opened in a converted Durham garage with pizza at the center of its menu. The Geer Street room suits a shared pie and an easy meal.
Napoli Pizzeria & Gelateria · Carrboro
Napoli Pizzeria & Gelateria serves wood-fired Margherita and pepperoni pies alongside more adventurous combinations in Carrboro. Housemade gelato closes out a meal on East Main Street.
