This is a counter order place where you pay and take a number. However you can sit at the bar for full service. I don't quite understand the goldfish tanks instead of a railing for the line? The pork pizza was pretty good but there was not much pork belly on it. I did enjoy the nice roasted garlic taste. Has a nice outdoor seating area if you feel like eating outside.

I ate this pizza after a 3.5 hour drive and it's basically the best thing I've ever tasted. Perfect chewy and crispy crust, incredible toppings, and overall worth the trip. Order the BC pie. You will not regret it.

Hands down the best pizza I’ve had in NC. It’s a simple sit down restaurant with aquaponic fish tanks in the dining area. The service was quick and friendly. No frills but the pizza was delicious. Thin, soft crust and cheese to die for.

This place is beyond amazing. Best pizza I've had in North Carolina. The service was equally great. Sarah was super attentive and went out of her way to make our experience great. Will definitely be returning again soon!

I felt that this place was a nice stop to get food. I got a fruit salad with salami. I suggest this place for anyone who has a large party. The food there is pretty good I especially liked the goat cheese. There's not much parking nearby. Also I really enjoyed the environment the fish and plants really added to it. To put icing on the cake the art in there was so fascinating.

Great environment, delicious pizza, awesome concept. Spacious, family friendly, a little pricey hut worth it. The pizzas are all personal size, hand tossed, oven toasted and fresh ingredients. They have beer, wine, sodas and more! Really great place to go before or after a Bulls game!

The staff are very nice but 2/4 of the pizzas were not good. They were prepared well and the restaurant was clean but the pizzas just did not taste good. The roasted garlic one especially was horrible. The appetisers were very tasty though and they have a cool selection of sodas.

Went to a special plated dinner service to celebrate cuisine of Italy, was absolutely wonderful. Also, one of the best pizza places around, no questions! Love the uncut pizza and scissors.

Seriously legit Neapolitan pizza. The crust is chewy and cooked to perfection. Sauce is zesty and really compliments everything perfectly. Great service and solid beer menu on draught.

I love this place! The pizza is simple and amazing with probably the best pizza sauce I've had in years. I cannot recommended it highly enough! The salads we're simple and great, and the soup was also very hearty and satisfying. The bread that came with the soup had a great garlicky crust that complimented the soup perfectly. This is a great place and we can't wait to come back. I'm definitely going to try all of the pizzas they have!

All of the pizzas are good (we sampled 5+) and it really just depends on your preferences. I'm on a big arugula kick - so all of the pizzas with arugula as a topping take the cake (pie?) for me. Also, cutting the pizzas with your own scissors is unique and feels fun. We also got a few salads that were really good, particularly because of the tasty dressings.

If you're looking for a delicious, out of the ordinary, Neapolitan-style pizza dinner experience in Durham this is your place. You walk in and see fish tanks, tomato can lights, fresh herb boxes and a wall of kids' firefighter art. It's very much a local family establishment with a side bar room for those just looking for a quick drink. It's just a short walk from Main St and the general downtown area. There's ample amounts of parking and though the line looks long it goes pretty fast.

This gem is located in downtown Durham. We went for lunch and ordered the 7" build your own pizza. The pizza was all that I needed in a cloudy rainy day. The crust was crunchy, chewy and airy. The marinara sauce was perfect! The spicy pepperoni made for a nice surprise in each bite. And the fresh basil made me realize next time I make pizza at home is a must! Loved they use Mason jars as a cups. Fresh squeezed lemonade and sweet tea on tap is the best thing ever as well! If you are around the area or coming to visit do stop and enjoy!

Really great handcrafted pizza. The dough they use is really exceptional and have a variety of options with higher end toppings. Counter order. Casual fun space. Offer sandwiches as well as soup and a couple apps. Good spot.

I really love pizza and Pompieri is the best I’ve ever had. Everyone there is friendly, the space is super cute, and their food is just to die for. Try their signature Pompieri Pizza with Pepperdew peppers and chili oil, you will fall in love. Their changing specials are also always inventive and delicious. And they have community nights where you can eat tons of pizza and meet new people! Such a great place.

Truthfully I have not eaten their pizza although I've heard it's fantastic. I went with some friends to their annual vegan harvest dinner and wine or beer pairing and it was absolutely delicious. It was six courses of delightfulness and and the owner the chef the sous chef the front and back of house were all fabulous and I will definitely be back soon to sample some vegan pizza!

Amazing vegan options, from pizza to sandwiches to dessert! This is my favorite restaurant in Durham. The pizza is incredible. Atmosphere is nice too, but I wish they'd get rid of the sad fish tanks :(

My husband and I had such a positive experience at Pomieri Pizza. We were just visiting for the weekend and were looking for a great spot for pizza with gluten free crust. This place has great pizza and is family friendly. Even though you pay first and then sit without a real server, the staff was attentive and helpful. We would definitely recommend for a quick bite of pizza.

The pizza was fresh and authentic as well! They grow their own fresh herbs in store. The customer service is excellent! The over restaurant is clean and colorful. 10/10 would go there every week if I had the funds to do so. 😊

A Neapolitan pizzeria in a old firehouse with fish aquaculture tanks. What's not to like? On Sundays 4:30 and 6:30 dine Family Style: buy a wristband and get unlimited pizza with soda and a side salad and dessert. Our family had a great time doing that.

I’m originally from the New York area, so I’ve always been particular about my pizza. Since moving to Durham, Pompieri’s has become my one and only pizza stop. Highly recommend the BC Pie!

Pompieri is my favorite pizza place. Great service, tasty fountain beverages, and the most delicious pizza I have ever had. Their namesake Pompieri Pizza with peppadew peppers is the BOMB!

I personally love their pizza. It’s exactly like the pizza I had in Naples and tastes incredibly authentic. Same with the limoncello. I’ve heard people are displeased with how the restaurant is run so many of my friends don’t go here out of principle. But for me, the food is too good to stay away.

My partner and I absolutely love this place. We get the vegan Barry White almost every time. Last night we went to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary with an early dinner and it was perfect. The two Barry Whites were outstanding, the screwdriver slush was delicious, and the staff were kind and courteous. They really made our short pizza stop special. Thank you!
We did see they had vegan cheesecake on the menu but we will have to try it next time.

Walk up counter, quick service, delicious pizza. Kids loved their red sauce pie. Wife and I were equally pleased with the shroom pie w caramelized onions and goat cheese. Cool little nook w toys for the kiddos. Pie crust charred but not overcooked. 9/10
