7 Saucy Outer Banks Pizza Restaurants

Sure, seafood is the focus of most restaurants on the Outer Banks; however, the pizza scene should not be overlooked. Here are seven essential pizzeria spots to add to the itinerary list for your next barrier island escape.

The restaurants listed below are ordered from north (Corolla) to south (Hatteras Island). Inclusion on this list is based on rating averages collected from several popular online review websites. No mathematically complex equations have been utilized to decide which pizza joints are worthy of a spot on this top seven list - after all, we’re discussing pizza here!

A recommendation would be to choose whichever restaurant is within the closest proximity to where you are staying during your Outer Banks vacation. Or, if you’re fortunate enough to call these barrier islands home, branch out and perhaps try a different restaurant than your go-to Friday night carry-out.

Slice Pizzeria Kill Devil Hills NC Outer Banks

Corolla Pizza Deli

Extra-large slices, gigantic strombolis, delicious cheesesteaks, and fresh, never frozen, hand-tossed pizzas. Just about the best pizza you can order on the northern Outer Banks beaches. Corolla Pizza Deli has been a favorite amongst locals and visitors since 1989.

Slice Pizzeria Kill Devil Hills NC Outer BanksFacebook / Slice Pizzeria

Slice Pizzeria

Authentic New York style, brick oven pizza. Slice is a haven for those who love carbohydrates—both deep dish and thin crust offerings from the menu. The “natural gourmet” is a fan favorite. Pizza is the star; however, their garlic knots should not overlook - they’re so dang good! Order by the piece or by the pie. Is it a coincidence that Slice is next door to a perfect dessert restaurant, Duck Donuts? I think not.
