Whenever we’re feeling saucy, we like to slice into some local pizza. Winston-Salem’s pizza scene is bubbling with options, and we keep finding ways to top ourselves. If you’re on the quest for the perfect slice, we’ve pie-oneered a list of 10+ places to grab pizza that are definitely worth the dough.

Italian origins

Brothers Pizzeria, 214 W. 4th St.

This downtown spot serves all the classics, as well as stuffed and specialty pizzas. Choose delivery or carry your box out to enjoy at Merschel Park or at home — the shop is open until 2:30 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Elizabeth's Pizza, 2824 University Pkwy. + 3278 Silas Creek Pkwy.

Grab a slice of NY-style cheese or order a whole pizza from these sister restaurants. If you're a cheese lover, opt for the Sicilian Elizabeth's special or the Sicilian veggie, which come with extra cheese. Try a pizza and wing combo if you're feeding a hungry group.

BLL Rotisserie Factory, 380 Knollwood St., Ste. A

The Italian restaurant serves a pie topped with its signature rotisserie chicken, along with plenty of other options. On Mondays and Saturdays, get a 16-inch pizza with one topping for just $10.

Cheesy classics

Burke Street Pizza, 1110 Burke St. + 3352 Robinhood Rd.

The shop uses Grande cheese on all of their hand-tossed thin crust pizzas. Head over to this Winston-Salem staple where you can get daily specials for under $10.

Pizza Greco, 5089 Country Club Rd.

This perfect takeout spot keeps things simple. Choose from a slice or a whole pie of NY-style pizza, or opt for a 16-inch Sicilian style pizza. Gluten-free options are also available.

The Pizza Place, 1155 Silas Creek Pkwy.

This woman-owned shop serves NY-style thin-crust pizza. Several options, like the chicken Caesar and the chicken bacon ranch pizzas, don't include red sauce.

Crust + Craft, 1295 Creekshire Way

This former Brixx Wood-Fired Pizza became this independently owned spot in summer 2026. The spot does exactly what its name suggests, serving a variety of personal pies that can be paired with one of its craft beers or cocktails.

Authentic experiences

Cugino Forno, 486 N. Patterson Ave., Ste. 115 + 6316 Clemmons Point Dr., Clemmons

Many of these Neapolitan pizzas have fresh basil and vegetables, making it the perfect pie to share in Bailey Park or outside in the Coal Pit at the Winston-Salem location. If you want to make memories while learning how to make a better pizza, book a pizza-making class.

Mission Pizza Napoletana, 707 Trade St. NW

The restaurant has been nominated for a James Beard award and has landed on the list of the top 50 pizzerias in the US for four consecutive years. The restaurant discourages to-go orders but reservations to dine in are recommended.

Sixty Six Grill and Tap House, 3440 Frontis St. + 930 Highway 66 S., Kernersville

The restaurant's hand-tossed pizzas keep customers coming back. Choose between a specialty pizza like the meat lovers or the fiery Hawaiian, or make your own from a list of two dozen ingredients.

Something a little different

Grandpa Joe's Slaberia, 845 S. Poplar St.

Move over, slices — there's a new way to eat pizza: by the "slab." This spot, from the team behind Bobby Boy Bakeshop, serves its pizza on fresh sourdough focaccia. Toppings include classics like pepperoni and unique options like preserved lemon and cauliflower.

The Loop Restaurant, 320 S. Stratford Rd.

The restaurant is the perfect place for a pit stop while shopping at Thruway. Choose from a pizza or a pinsa (a smaller, crispy flatbread that serves 1-3 people) that's on the menu, or make your own with ingredients like sun-dried tomato, broccoli, and bacon.

Spaghetti Park, 3549 Gentry Circle, Clemmons

The fast casual restaurant also serves pastas, sandwiches, and small plates, but its stone-baked Sicilian pizzetta is what reader Lisa L. tells us is simply "the best." You can build your own or try one with toppings like balsamic chicken, broccolini, or peppadew peppers. Vegan cheese and cauliflower crust are also available.

Tanglewood Pizza Company, 5539 US-158, Advance

Mix it up at this restaurant where you can try specialty pies you won't find elsewhere, like the Dill Pickle that's topped with fried chicken, pickles, mozzarella, and ranch. Just ~15 minutes from downtown, Tanglewood Pizza Company hosts live music regularly and has a wide beer selection.

We know this is just a piece of the pie. If your favorite place to get pizza wasn’t mentioned, let us know so we can show it some love in the future.
