Best for thin-crust
Donatos Pizza
East Wilmington • Chain Pizzeria With Ultra-Thin Crust • Best For Shareable Orders

The Wilmington Donatos leans into the brand’s signature ultra-thin crust and generous, edge-to-edge toppings, so every slice feels loaded. It shines when you’re ordering multiple pizzas for a group, thanks to consistent bake and easy-to-share square cuts.
