Greensboro’s eclectic pizza scene reflects the city’s college-town vibe, family-friendly energy, and a love for both classic and adventurous pies.
Here, you’ll find everything from old-world Neapolitan to loaded New York slices and inventive local specialties.
These five pizzerias steal the show in Greensboro for 2025.
1. Sticks & Stones Clay Oven Pizza
A Greensboro staple for nearly two decades, Sticks & Stones fires up creative, artisan pies in a wood-burning oven.
Toppings include local sausage, organic veggies, and even roasted NC sweet potatoes.
Try the “Fire Roasted” or “Bee’s Knees” (with spicy salami and honey).
The local beer list and hip, welcoming atmosphere make it perfect for both families and date nights.
2. Cugino Forno Pizzeria
Renowned for true Neapolitan pies with pillowy, leopard-spotted crusts, Cugino Forno imports its flour and tomatoes from Italy and bakes each pizza in a 900-degree oven.
Their Margherita and Diavola are city favorites, and their rustic, communal space near Greensboro’s Revolution Mill adds to the Italian experience.
3. Elizabeth’s Pizza
A beloved local mini-chain with several Greensboro locations, Elizabeth’s is cherished for thin, New York–Italian pies, generous portions, and Italian comfort food classics.
Their White Pizza, rich Sicilian squares, and old-school hospitality make it a regular spot for families and student diners alike.
4. New York Pizza (NYP)
Near UNCG and always buzzing late, NYP dishes up authentic, giant, foldable slices along with calzones, garlic knots, and hearty salads.
The pepperoni slab and customizable pies are top picks.
Open till the early morning, NYP is a lifeline for hungry students and night owls.
5. Brixx Wood Fired Pizza + Craft Bar
Brixx offers creative pies on thin, crispy wood-fired crusts—gluten-free and vegan dough included.
The menu features unique combinations (like “BBQ Chicken” and “Greek”), plus local drafts and solid desserts.
The lively, modern setting and kid-friendly options make Brixx a hit for any group.
