Went to hi-wire for beer, ordered the forghi and a salad online and while I had to wait a few minutes upon arriving as they were slammed they made sure I was taken care of.
Pizza was incredible, almost addictive it was so good. You could tell the ingredients were fresh by the taste, more so than any other pizza I've ever had. Crust was also excellent, doughy. The best pizza I had had before this was v pizza, but I think this shop is better. -
Currently my favorite place to get pizza in Durham, and there are a lot of great options. I love how true they stay to their Italian roots. The pizza and salads are always top notch and it's easy to order while hanging out at Golden Belt. -
OMG I found this place after work today, (day before mother's day 2026) we live 2 hours away, my husband was off today after months of never having a Friday off so he can to do lunch with me and he kept our son home and played "hookie" with him! Lol anyway before we left he said, "babe I know you want a really good fire wood pizza find one" I found this place 20 minutes from work. We spent 3 hours here! Had an amazing time! My 7 year old played for hours with 100 kids! And not one child was rude mean or anything! We brought a blanket out the car because everyone else had one out on the grass, they bring the food out to you with your number pole they will find you anywhere on the "lawn". Yes! We ate next door and had dessert! I tried a med. (2-scoops) Ice cream one scoop was the non dairy raspberry crumble. (To die for!) And my second choice scoop was the blackberry hibiscus 🌺 (😱) you just have to have them together. My husband tried the cinnamon donut? He loved it. And my 7 year old tried the cookie brownie ice ream he gave it a 100 out of 10. ;) I also do not drink, but the games and fun everyone was having I am certain it was great! You gotta live for the experience. Please come out. It's all around you! Bring the holy spirit too for the love and fun! It was a beautiful memory we as a family and myself will not forget. This alone God knows I don't want anything else this weekend. This IS my perfect 💐💐❤️❤️💐❤️ -
My family's favorite pizza spot in the triangle!
The pizza is always a hit and we always get the Napoletana. We've had several of their pizzas, but we love the tang of the sweet red peppers in the Napoletana. The crust is always light and fluffy, and made with italian flour, so its kinder to our gluten sensitive friends.
I moved out of state, but I always make an effort to visit every time Im in town! -
We had a wonderful experience at Cugino Forno. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming, and OMG — the pizza was extremely delicious. One of the best pizzas I’ve had!
