“ This place was affordable, efficient, and tasty. I came here for lunch and ordered a $4 speciality slice. It came out within minutes. Waitress and cashier were very nice. Place was clean. Food was hot and tasty. No complaints. Can't beat $4 for a quick bite. They also have daily specials - Tuesdays are Cheese or pepperoni slice and a pint for $8. ”
“ 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! ”
“ I love a solid NY slice and these guys have it down pat. I do think they win on the pizza and the rest of the menu is OK but not the star. Fun ambiance and cheap drinks, perfect for a quick pie any day of the week. ”
“ Wing Wednesday always hits with the fried brussel sprouts would definitely recommend to anyone in town! ”
“ This place always hit the spot in downtown durham. Convenient and fast and the second floor has plenty of seating if you are dining in with a group. ”
“ I discovered Pie Pushers a few months back on the Durham Food Tour. The experience was great then so it has been on my list to return. So it was the perfect spot to dine before seeing 1776 at DPAC. Pie Pushers is on the second story and stairs are the only way to reach the restaurant so the venue might not be accessible to everyone. I liked the decor and there is a Where's Waldo figurine too. So try to find it when you are there. The staff is very friendly and helpful here. They have actual menus and a big menu on the wall behind the cash register. You can order just a slice; a half pie or a full pie. Gluten free is an option for the crust. You can create your own pizza from the toppings or choose from the specialty pizzas. Besides pizza, you can get sandwiches, salads and wings. Ordering is done at the counter and they give you a number and will bring your order to the table. I ordered the Spinach and Ricotta half of a pie pie so that was four slices of a normal pizza. I didn't think I could eat it all but it was just so good that I ate all four slices and enjoyed every bite. The pizza was cooked perfectly and just the right amount of each topping. I also saw that on Fridays and Saturdays they had strawberry shortcake so I just had to try that too. It was bigger than I expected with two warm biscuits, strawberries and whipped cream. I think it was homemade whipped cream as it was delicious and I don't normally like whipped cream. I couldn't finish the dessert but really enjoyed the strawberries and whipped cream. I will definitely be back to try some of the other pizzas and items on the menu. ”
“ Decided to check out pie pushers after passing them a few times over the yearish that I've been here. What I noticed first was the awesome way that you walk in. There's a door on the side of another storefront that you think leads into that store, but actually, it leads to a staircase that takes you up to Pie Pushers. I am a sucker for a cute hidden spot! Next, I noticed the great customer service. Everyone was so nice and all smiles. They answered all of our questions and were so accommodating. My friend ended up getting a slice of the Sicilian and their cheese fries. And I got their salad and a slice of pepperoni and Sicilian. Honestly I wasn't a super fan of the pizza. However, their salad and fries were amazing! Instead of getting their "normal" cheese fries my friend got their fries with green onions, cheddar cheese, and goat cheese. Everything came together so well and the fries were super crispy!! Wow! And the Caesar salad was obviously house made with super creamy dressing and crunchy lettuce and croutons. I had to stop myself from finishing it before the pizza came! These two items shined way above their pizza and I would so come back for these. The pizza lacked a lot of flavor and the Sicilian had way too much bread for me. It was literally a thin layer of cheese and sauce and then a thick TX toast size of bread. It wasn't my jam, unfortunately. I would come back for the sides and the service! ”
“ Love Pie Pushers! It's in a great location in downtown Durham and always convenient. The pizzas we ordered came out quickly. The seating area is open and there is tons of natural light and plenty of places to sit. I noticed a bunch of folks here on their work breaks eating. It seems like a popular spot. The quality and flavor of the pizza were superb! My favorite was the pizza with the goat cheese and pesto with yummy fresh tomatoes. ”
