TwoBoros Brewery & Pizzeria

For one of the most distinctive food and drink stops in downtown Wilkesboro, NC, TwoBoros Brewery & Pizzeria is a real standout. Set inside the historic J.T. Ferguson Building in the heart of Wilkes County — a structure dating back to the late 1880s — this downtown brewery and pizzeria blends real Wilkesboro history with a modern, community-driven dining experience. The name itself is a nod to the area’s distinctive identity: the “Two Boros” of Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro, set across the Yadkin River from each other and connected by a shared sense of place.

A Modern Take in a Historic Setting

TwoBoros opened its doors in 2018 with a clear mission to bring the two Wilkesboros together over great food and craft beer. The pizzeria opened first in 2019, followed by the on-site brewery in January 2020. Set inside the J.T. Ferguson Building, the space combines the warmth of late-19th-century brick and exposed structural detail with the energy of a modern pizzeria-meets-taproom. Vintage photos line the walls, anchoring the space in the area’s history while the kitchen and brewery handle the modern half of the equation.

The result is a downtown gathering spot that feels both authentically rooted in Wilkesboro and refreshingly contemporary — exactly the kind of place that helps anchor a small downtown’s revitalization.

Wood-Fired Pizzas and a Casual Menu

The headline draw at TwoBoros is the wood-fired brick oven pizza — handcrafted with quality ingredients and a real char that only a proper brick oven delivers. The menu rounds out with handcrafted calzones, fresh salads, hearty subs, and rotisserie wings, all made in-house. Gluten-free options are available across much of the menu, making TwoBoros a welcoming choice for visitors with dietary restrictions.

A Brewery Worth Settling Into

The brewery side of TwoBoros is its own draw. A rotating lineup of locally brewed beers is poured straight from stainless steel tanks visible from the dining room — a transparent, real-time look at the brewing process that gives diners and drinkers an extra layer of connection to what they’re sipping. The lively, welcoming atmosphere makes TwoBoros equally well-suited for a casual family dinner, a stop with friends after a day exploring the area, or a slow afternoon at the bar working through the rotating tap list.
