Bull City Burger and Brewery recognized for B Corp certification

"In the Triangle, pasture-raised, fresh ground beef and made-in-house beer has made Bull City Burger and Brewery one of Durham’s most popular restaurants since opening in 2011. It was so successful that the team opened a sister restaurant called Pompieri Pizza in early 2014. In February of the same year, Bull City Burger and Brewery became the first restaurant in the state to become a certified B Corp, and the first brewpub in the US."

"And what a crust it is. A few words on a tabletop sheet can’t begin to do justice to Pompieri’s thin, heat-blistered crust. At once crisp and satisfyingly chewy, it’s the foundation for a range of toppings from classic margherita to the unctuous extravagance of diced pork belly, cracklings, roasted garlic and a “porky red sauce” enriched with still more pork belly (in pureed form).
