Our story

Durkin’s Pizza opened in McKinney in 2008. Its founder, Michael Durkin, grew up in Plano, worked at a local pizza restaurant as a teenager, and set out to bring back the original pizza restaurant: no gimmicks, just pizza made to order. He ran Durkin’s until September 2022, when he passed it on to its current owners, a group of five friends who are passionate about making the best pizza McKinney has to offer.

Our motto is simple: serve our customers only food we would feed to our own families. Quality comes first in everything we do, and we have kept the same recipe that people loved, including the fresh dough and the P.T.S. sandwich. Gluten-free and cauliflower crusts and Alfredo pizza were already on the menu. Since taking over we have added the 12” thin crust, baked wings made from scratch, Indian fusion pizzas, and cakes and ice cream, to make Durkin’s a more rounded experience.
