Went to hi-wire for beer, ordered the forghi and a salad online and while I had to wait a few minutes upon arriving as they were slammed they made sure I was taken care of.
Pizza was incredible, almost addictive it was so good. You could tell the ingredients were fresh by the taste, more so than any other pizza I’ve ever had. Crust was also excellent, doughy. The best pizza I had had before this was v pizza, but I think this shop is better.

Those who want to experience authentic Italian pizza should definitely visit this place. You can enjoy incredibly delicious wood-fired pizzas. The owners were also very kind and friendly. Thank you for everything.

My family and I just love their pizza. It’s simple, it’s authentic and it’s classic Italian. I brought my mother here, whonwas born in Sicily, and she thought the crust was firm and crisp while the toppings weren’t overdone. I’m a fan of one size offerings and no substitutions. I’ve been to their other locations in Greensboro & Wilmington, and they are just as wonderful. The picnic table seating is casual and classic while the warehouse type atmosphere gives off a trendy vibe. This is not a fancy dining experience, but is a great place to enjoy delicious pizza along with their Gelato and other desserts!

Fantastic pizza all around, in a great area for kids to hang out on the lawn, and ice cream shop right across from it, if you’re wanting some woodfired pizza, they were also rated top 100 in the US on Yelp!! Their homemade cannolis are super good as well! Super authentic and their mozzarella they use is fantastic!!

Super fast on a Friday night. We ordered the pizza (Americano) and about 2 minutes after we paid; it was already being brought out. It’s a pretty large pizza, so it can definitely be split between two adults! Large selection of beer, cider, seltzers, and wine too!

First ever visit. We arrived about 11:30 for lunch. Pile of trash on the floor as we walked in like someone had swept the floor and didn’t pick it up. Big warehouse like space. No friendly greeting – actually no greeting at all. Was about to order and some cop guy with a gun on his hip walks up and cuts in and orders before us.
Placed our order, paid and went outside – inside was very cold.
Pizza delivered to our table. We got the one with the spucy salami and Calabrian chilis. Way more cheese that you get on pizza in Italy but it was tasty. Before leaving went to toss our trash in the can by the front door. It was filthy. Ugh! Decent pizza but otherwise it seems like not much care taken with the place. Even the Gelato was a mess. Won’t bother to return.

Pizza was of high quality ingredients. It tasted better than all other pizza places. The crust was soft yet crispy and it took like 5 mins from the time I ordered to the time I got my pizza so it cooks super fast in their wood ovens. My normal go to is rudinos pizza but these two places are quite different. Bar pizza go to rudinos. Seemingly authentic pizza, go to this place!

An excellent place for pizza! I’m typically used to New York-New Jersey style pizzas, but the pizza here is more typical of Naples, with fresh basil, thinner crust, and more “charred”. But I really enjoyed the pizza here. Not long of a wait once the order was placed, and it turned out delicious! I’d make a point to check it and the surrounding businesses out if you’re in Durham!
