Dino’s Pizza

I stopped in for lunch on a Friday and ordered the lunch special of a half pizza, salad, and drink for ten dollars. I upgraded the house salad to a Caesar for two bucks more. Well worth it! Everything was delicious, and two pieces of the pizza are coming home with me

The environment was pretty good for Durham. Service was great! Pizza was good not great. Garlic knots were great. Buratta was delicious. Chicken wings with hot honey were tasteless like boiled chicken breast. The absolute fail was the $15 calamari which presented as the under tray of the fryer being dumped into a basket. Laughably small portion that was like tasteless jerky. Unfortunately it adds up to a non return.

Our second time dining at Dino's and we could not be happier for this great addition to the pizza and Italian-American options in the Triangle. The crew here gets it! The Disco-Fries pictured are a must, as are the cheese sticks! Pizza-wise we love the margarita and our custom pepperoni (the small nickel sized kind - the best kind) and mushroom! The crust on the pies is fantastic, like a bagel that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Their spin on tiramisu is great too for desert. Great for friends or a family night out. The hostess this second time there was a gem, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Our pie accidentally tipped over (our fault) and landed on the floor with a few slices left. The team sent us home with a pie on the house. You can't beat that service and care! Looking forward to getting back there!

Absolutely fantastic pizza! Loved the thin, crispy charred crust which also had the right amount of elasticity and fermentation which make for a perfect bite. All ingredients were tasty and top notch, and would definitely be a regular here if I lived nearby. I feel that the pizza would be best enjoyed if eaten in house, not only because of the style, but to the friendly staff that did their absolute best to make for a great experience!

Original review remains below for reference, but everything I've tried since the grand opening has been phenomenal. I've enjoyed both of their red and white pizza styles with consistently perfect crust, and most recently the rigatoni. I've not tried the pizza logs again but based on other reviews those issues seem to be sorted out. ******* They're still working through the normal rough edges of a newly opened restaurant, which is to be expected for another month or so. The servers were all incredibly friendly, I'll be back again down the road to try a few more things. It could just be because mine were undercooked, but I definitely don't understand the magic of pizza logs! Five or six pieces of pepperoni wrapped around a mozzarella stick, put it in an egg roll wrapper and deep frying it seems like it should have been a slam dunk as an appetizer but it was underwhelming. The mozzarella wasn't melted or even fully warmed. The other orders I noticed coming out of the kitchen all looked to be the same level of done, so I'm not sure if this was everybody's experience. The pizza was the star of the show! I know this is purely subjective, but if you're a local in Durham and enjoy crusts
