Pizzeria Toro
Phone: (919) 908-6936
If you're craving a flavorful, wood-fired Brussels sprouts or meyer lemon specialty pizza, you have to visit Pizzeria Toro. Check out their assortment of Italian wines, don't miss the kale salad (one of Durham's most popular dishes) and finish your meal with the house cannoli filled with ricotta, mascarpone and chocolate. There are no reservations, but a cozy bar tucked away in the back to wait (or dine) if it's busy on a popular evening.

I want to specially thank the store manager for accommodating our group of 21 people.
We placed an online order for our group of young dancers and moms for Starquest event since there was not an option to reserve the seat. What we really wanted was to dine in together but thinking by placing the order online would save us some time upon arrival.
As we arrived and explained the situation the manager was able to accommodate us and took the time to transfer all the pizzas to plate from the togo boxes. I truly appreciate the empathy she showed and effort to make us happy.
The pizzas were top notch. I have never had potato pizza before and this one is very good! Young dancers enjoyed the cheese and pepperoni pizzas. We had a great time as there is a long table in the restaurant which is the perfect setting for them!
We will visit again! -
Such a vibe! This place was such a nice experience. They put the pizza in the oven right in front of you! Everything was so fresh and very clean! I think if you want a fresh full of flavor pizza this is the place! They also have great variety of wines and beer!

Cute place, split into two sections.
Probably the best kale salad I've had ever, and I don't love kale.
Arturo the bartender is a gem
Enjoyed the wine on tap
And their pillowy ricotta appetizer, can't wait to go through all of them
20 percent gratituty on Bill and 10 percent on to go
P.s. The pine nuts on the salad alone is worth it -
SO incredibly attentive with allergies. On top of gluten, I have some additional allergies. I ordered a topping that also contained my allergens, they caught it before even bringing it out to me, comped my pizza, and apologized profusely. And then, it was the BEST gluten free pizza I have EVER had. It’s ruined other gluten free pizzas for me. Very grateful for this restaurant and their staff. Also never let the waters get empty and it was a very busy night for them. 10+ stars!

Great food ! Had their cold basil bouillon, tomato confit with watermelon soup was very refreshing, zesty and tangy all the things you want in 90 degrees weather! Their chanterelles toast was sublime and pizza very good! Key points for good pizza: dry bottom, oiliness, salt and tomato sauce ratio was all on point! The community table is very cool concept where you see how pizzas come fresh out of the oven. Just didn’t like that 20% gratuity is included which is very high. Gratuity is always a feeling you get from good/nice service in combo of the good food not a standard percentage. We would have given more but since it was included we left it at that. Lost a star with that one.
