Sofia's Pizza - Durham

I typically order the extra-large pepperoni pizza and chicken strips, which is a great deal! Recently, I tried the cheesesteak and wings. I'm gradually working my way through the menu, but it's tough to explore when I keep finding one dish that's so incredible! You never let me down—thank you!

This is undoubtedly the best pizza in Durham. I say this even while considering Pizzeria Toro, which I also enjoy, but the experiences are quite different, and I truly believe the pizza at Sofia's is superior. Sofia's has everything I appreciate in a pizza and none of the things I don't. The thin crust remains perfectly crisp, the sauce is just right, the cheese is just the right amount, and the toppings are fresh and flavorful. The East Durham pizza, in particular, is fantastic (just be prepared for the spice, as others have noted). We certainly waited too long to try this place, but now we plan to return frequently. It's a hidden gem in a town that really values good food.

We absolutely love Sofia's! If you enjoy spicy food, you have to try the East Durham or the Mexican pizza (though I just checked the menu and I don’t see the Mexican option anymore— it was our favorite!). You really can’t go wrong with any of their pizzas; even the plain cheese pizza is fantastic. We also adore their house salad with the homemade Italian dressing— it's delicious!

I've wanted to eat here for years but my schedule never allowed until this past week. Nice clean restaurant. The hostess was super cute! She had a great taste in music too because, per staff, it was her Playlist coming through the speakers and I had every song already on mine. She made the entire experience so 3 stars for her. The pizza was average..not bad..not good..but average. Nothing stood out about it at all(thus the additional 1 star)I'd still return for the vibes and maybe try a sandwich..and of course to check her out again.

Normally I do not like thin crust pizza as it is that mushy New York style with toppings so finely ground that they are unidentifiable. Sophia's has a thin crispy perfect crust. Somehow, they are able to make that thin crust support diced toppings. Their daily lunch special is my regular go to meal.
