I bought pizza for friends. I don't eat it. They had pepperoni and mushroom and a thin crust and they said it gave them life. I had the salad salad that started with a M, not sure of the name exactly, but it was a nice mix of arugula, almonds, and carrots. It was what I needed. The large salad is perfect for one hungry person.

A pretty good NY slice and they have a decent number of "standard" and special by-the-slice options. Wings (with Alabama sauce) were really good. And with fast service, this place came through in a pinch for us when we had to bail on a nearby restaurant after waiting for an hour only to have received 1/2 of our drinks (and no food). And the prices are very reasonable!
Ambience is nothing special but they have adequate seating for a quick bite and drink. Great place to go if you are in a hurry or don't want anything fancy.
Would definitely go back!

This place has such unique and delicious topping combinations! Plus it's in a fun area, so there's lots to do besides just grab a great bite. Definitely going back next time I'm in the area!

Nothing beats wing Wednesday, half priced wings, and fried hard with buffalo sauce and ranch is the way to go!
I think the pizza is pretty good, but not my favorite style, I like more Neopolitan than New York, but it still solid and they have a bunch of fun flavors.
I would say the biggest downside is the general attitude of the staff… It’s usually neutral to negative, and very rarely have I seen them be positive over 5+ years of visiting.

This is one of my go to spots for lunch. I like the variety of the menu, the pizza/food is always hot and fresh and it is just close enough to the office. I LOVE the wings, I think some of the best in town. Unfortunately I ordered the garlic knots and they were literally whole soft garlic cloves wrapped in pizza dough. Not my thing at all, no flavor and too much garlic to take back to the office. I’m looking forward to trying some new on my next visit.

I visited in March while traveling on alone business. The place has an indie feel to it and has some great taste in music. The staff were friendly and helped me order a breakfast pizza and salad. The salad came out quick and pizza followed a little later. It came out really hot and was delicious. I would happily go back.

Pie Pushers are the best. It’s a Nice cozy spot in downtown Durham to enjoy an American classic by yourself or with a few friends. I’ve ordered take out a few times in the past, but today, I got a half Pepperoni pie, and just as I remember, the flavors NEVER disappoint. 5 STARS!
