"If Pizzeria Toro is the sophisticate of the Durham pizza scene, then Pie Pushers is the OG who keeps it real with what they call “Durham-style” pizza (think New York-style with Midwestern sensibilities). Owners Becky Cascio and Mike Hacker went from food truck to brick and mortar, all while developing a cult-following as downtown Durham’s go-to pizza. By the slice or by the pie, it’s hard to beat the classic pepperoni pizza, but also branch out and try the State of Nirvana (pesto, roasted chicken, spinach, caramelized red onion, and bleu cheese) or the 1234 (salami, caramelized red onion, bell peppers, pistachios, and smoked gouda)." - Matt Lardie
