    01/02/2026 My wife and I were in the area looking for lunch and originally planned to try another local spot. When we arrived, we were told they were already out of food for the day, even though it was about 20 minutes before closing. I asked for another recommendation, and they suggested Sofia's, which was just down the road. Parking in the area appears to be street parking only, but we were able to find a spot without much trouble. We walked in it's a small pizza and sub place, were greeted right away very friendly, the lady behind the counter gave us 2 menus said it's easier to read than looking up. So we sat down looked over the menu, we finally decided on sharing a steak and cheese sub with potato wedges for our side. Our order came out and this steak and cheese looked so good and the potato's look outstanding I went up to the counter and I don't know what made me ask for ranch instead of ketchup for the potato's but I did. I split the sandwich with my wife and picked up a potato and that first bite was WOW the potato's were cooked all the way through and very crispy all around. Then I dipped the potato in the ranch OMG this ranch was probably one of the best homemade ranch dressings I've had!! The steak and cheese sandwich we ordered it without lettuce and tomato I usually get extra raw onion but forgot to get them but the sandwich came with fried onions and mushrooms. There was a perfect amount of meat to mushrooms onions and cheese the bread was soft with a light crunch. I usually put a mix of ketchup and vinegar on my steak and cheese but this one needed nothing. And again if you like potato's these wedges are a MUST!! When in the area we will be back.

    Chicken melt

    Closest thing to a real New York slice. Crispy yet foldable, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The chicken melt's packed with flavor, and the wings always hit the spot. Service is quick ambiance is welcoming and casual.

    Cozy restaurants. Good service. Great food! I've gotten the pizza and cheesesteak both were good and ample!

    I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I absolutely love the pizza scene in Durham, and I am adding this place to my list of go-tos. Indoor seating is limited. There are a lot of benches with umbrellas outside on patio. A lot of people seemed to order ahead and picked it up, so I might do that next time. They also have a few beers and soft drinks available in the refrigerator.

    xl vegetarian pizza

    oh so delicious! ordered an extra large (20") vegetarian pizza for takeout on a sunday night. i live about half an hour away from sofia's and i got the text that the pizza was ready before i even reached the restaurant, which i found impressive. sofia's is sort of plopped in the middle of angier, and there's not really many great places to park. i am not good at parking and, if i were planning to dine in, the fact that there are only about 6 parking spots on the street probably would've stressed me out. but luckily they have an easier parking spot for curbside pickup! i got home and ate immediately. the pizza was huge (leftovers lasted me the next couple of days) and so tasty. the toppings--bell peppers, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and my favorites, caramelized onions and black olives--were pretty standard for any pizza place, but what really elevated this pizza was the delicious crust, which was lightly herb infused and perfectly soft. i could taste the rosemary on the edges of my slices, which made eating so enjoyable! i would absolutely love to grab a pizza from here again, but i won't dare to attempt to parallel park and eat in. i'll stick to takeout!

    The pizza here is not the best I've had in North Carolina, but for the price it is really good! It's a cool little spot, and they have more than just pizza. One of these days I want to go back and try some of their entrees. It's too bad that they're not open for dinner. I think they would probably do well!

    Carnivoro Pizza
    Steven J.

    I lived in Durham during COVID-19 and frequently got food from Sofia's. I'm a big meat pizza fan and found that the Carnivoro pizza was perfect for me. I really like Mellow Mushroom's Mighty Meaty pizza and I thought Sofia's Carnivoro was better. If anyone is looking for a meat pizza in Durham, Sofia's is the place to go. I also tried the Philly cheesesteak and potato wedges and they were great as well. Being a big Philly cheesesteak guy I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was, despite not being 100% traditional. It is certainly much better than all the other places in the area selling Philly's with lettuce & tomato in them.

    When it comes to pizza, I can't get enough so I was curious when I heard about Sofia's online. A new pizzeria out in E. Durham, I took a trip over to check it out. It's in an interesting spot on Angier, there really isn't a parking lot so you'll need to grab a street spot on the side of the restaurant or further out. Inside it's super humble and still being built out. Bare brick walls, some formica tables and heaters with a small kitchen in back. But the pizza?! It's awesome! Thin-crust, tender and a bit crispy with plenty of great pepperoni, sausage and chorizo. Along with pizza, Sofia's offers up some sandwiches and wings, your basic pizza joint menu. Now I gotta say my star rating is a bit generous. Right now it's all about the food given how new they are. But if you like pizza, Sofia's is doing a lot of things right.

    Large 18" Pizza wit' Extra Cheese , Pepperoni & half Sausage !!!!!

    This one of the newer businesses in Durham since being gentrified; This Pizzaria is dope ; I Love their food and I just don't eat anyone's Pizza - So if you're in the area - Stop by to eat in for a slice or two - or pick up a pie to take home;; I'm sure you won't leave disappointed --- Oh one more thing, if you get sausage on your Pizza - You would be blown away - I don't know what kind they use - but it's spicy-delicious & delectable !!!!!!!

    Emmy squared is excellent pizza (if a little, maybe a lot pricey). It's Detroit style which is…read moresimilar to Chicago style in that it's a deep pan cooked pizza but it's more like standard pizza than Chicago style which is almost more like a lasagna or something. I really enjoy Detroit style pizza and it's not something you see a lot of around NC so that's nice. They also have a very good Gluten Free option which is nearly the same as the traditional crust - and if you ask they can mock up the cheesy sticks using the GF crust as well. The service is always super friendly at any location I've been to. As I mentioned, it's pretty pricey for pizza but it's also something you can't quite get around here otherwise and it's a nice place to go for something like date night.

    I did carry out and it was my first visit. I'm not new to Detroit style by a long shot so I was…read moreexcited to try it. The flavor is a 4.5/5. The sauce is pretty darn good. Sweet with a little bit of tang and you can definitely taste the seasoning. The crust has the right thickness the right crunch and the right give. The crust could stand to have a little more flavor but overall it was a solid crust. My issue with the food was for $25 on a 8x10 pizza, there should be enough cheese in the mix to cover more than 60% of the pizza. They have a "signature cheese blend" but then 40% of the pizza doesn't get any of it. A bit disappointing. Which gives the value a 2/5 at best. In addition to these two factors I was asked my name for the order when I arrived. The young lady walked off and then I spotted her on her phone in the corner, followed by folding pizza boxes in a different corner. Eventually a gentleman approached with the same question. Wouldn't you know it, my order was sitting right there next to the host stand. Not impressive. The ambiance is a bit pretentious for a place serving pizza which I found to be pretty greasy. The ambiance definitely matches the price so I guess that's what they are going for. The only lot for parking is paid but I suppose that may be the norm for "downtown" Durham. The flavor again was very good, but the value and the competency of the staff are a miss. As a frequent traveler I think I'd explore the other options next time rather than return.
