Taste the best pizza in Durham. Durham is home to the ever-popular Pop's Backdoor. With great pizzas on the menu, it isn't hard to see why. You'll find more than just pizza at the top restaurants in D…
this pizza is bitching. I travel for work and I always get pizza from different towns. I eat a lot of pizza, a lot of pizza. this is the best pizza I've had in months since I was in New Haven Connecticut and had a pizza from modern apizza, which I was told was the best pizza in the country. anyway this stuff I would compare to California Pizza kitchen only better. it is bigger, cheaper, and just as delicious as CPK. the only thing I would change would be make the pie thicker toward the center because it gets a little thin and floppy and hard to fold. the pizza was cut thoroughly I didn't have to rip dough apart which is my biggest pet peeve. it's good stuff you should definitely order from here I have two out of the three nights I've stayed in Durham I would have ordered it three nights if I would have ordered it the first night I was here.

Very impressed by the perfection of the margherita pizza. It was done perfectly. Perfect crispness vs. chewiness of the crust. Loved the combination of the sauce, the fresh mozzarella and the freshly chopped basil.
The house salad while relatively simple was very fresh and the dressing which is quite thick was very delicious.
Do yourself a favor and try POP's Backyard Pizza.

The calzones themselves are incredible. Best I've had around these parts. Incredible flavor. Good size for the price. Pomodoro sauce was bland though. Tasted like it was unsalted and not cooked long enough .

Everything was delicious. 18" Veggie Liker Pizza was hot with the right amount of toppings. Spinach & Argula Salad and Pop’s House Salad were fresh and the dressings were delicious. Cannoli was the perfect end to the meal. The pizza and salads were enough food for 4 people with leftovers (that were just as delicious) for the next day.
