About Us
Proudly preserving the tradition of whole-hog, pit-cooked barbecue with a heaping helping of Southern hospitality. The Pit proudly serves authentic whole-hog, pit-cooked barbecue in downtown downtown Durham's DIY District. A celebration of all of the great culinary offerings of the Old North State, The Pit has made a name for itself as the destination for the state's signature cuisine. The pigs used to produce the barbecue are all raised in North Carolina using AWA certified farming practices, and the freshest of the state's bountiful produce is featured in the starters, sides and desserts.
