Bussin Pizza & Italian Kitchen

Bussin Pizza & Pasta is a small pizzeria on Hillsborough Street, a few minutes from NC State. The pies are hand tossed in the New York style, and the pasta is made in house. The promise on the door is a table worth staying at.

Brothers David and Cruz Moyao run it as a family kitchen, and the name came from students who kept telling them the pizza was bussin. There is a patio for warm evenings, and orders go out by pickup, phone and DoorDash delivery.
