The Durham Hotel
The best view in Durham, with some legit drinks and oysters too.
Hands down, one of our top places to go in Durham. Pizzeria Toro has the best authentic, wood-fired pizza, as well as other seasonal appetizers (think burrata and peaches or shishito peppers with salt). The kitchen is open to the chic, minimal dining space. Around the corner from the dining space is a bar to which you can belly-up while you wait for your table. Or, better yet, grab a seat there and order from the full menu without the wait. Be sure to go early as there is limited seating and they do not take reservations!
