My husband considers himself an expert of wood fired pizza! Rates the pepperoni with hot honey drizzle a 10. We are here from North Carolina traveling to the National Parks for a few months and loved the proximity to Catalina State Park. Would definitely recommend your restaurant to others. Local draft brew and service on a busy Friday night was superb. Rhonda

Servers are rude and never helpful. Food can be delicious, then just plain bad. Something is very off at this place.

Brussel sprouts were excellent. We enjoyed waiting for our takeout over beer and an appetizer. Salads looked great.

Service was very lacking. We would have ordered another drink and water, maybr dessert, but there was no waiter to be found. We had to get up and ask for our bill. The food was really good though!

Great pizza and service. If you are gluten free be ware, I’ve ordered 3 times from them stating to have the pizzas gluten free, all times the pizzas have not been. Lucky for me I can tell the difference of what a gluten free crust and regular crust looks like. Please pay attention and get the orders right, it’s not that difficult.

We've dined at Charred Pie two, perhaps three times, in the last couple of months. We have found their sandwiches (!!! who knew that a 'pizza parlor' would create such sumptuous fare???) to be outstanding, especially (in my view) the grilled cheese. Wow. Don't be put off by the odd name for it (I have forgotten the exact name, possibly because the name doesn't do it justice). And, my wife just loves the buffalo chicken sandwich. -- Of course, there is far too much bread in both of these sandwiches, but the bread is high quality and tasty. Still, if you are looking to avoid gluten, Charred Pie is probably a place to avoid, as they don't sell much (if anything) that isn't filled with gluten.
In any event, on the gluten-OK days, I highly recommend Charred Pie, with the following provisos:
1.) Until Saturday (when we ate there after seeing the moving "Conclave"), I had just thought that the service was slow. It does take 'a while' to get your food. But, then I realized that this is, likely, intentional on the part of the management. Unlike some places, they don't rush you through to get you out. You can take the time to chat and enjoy your food (which, of course, if you take up their real estate for an 'extra' long time, you should increase your tip ....). So, it is a nice, relaxed delivery speed. If you need it faster, you would do well to tell the server you're in a hurry.
2.) I, very, very much, dislike the 'decor' on the inside. Similar to The Parish (Orange Grove and Oracle, NW corner) the management has fallen in love with black painted walls, black ceiling, and 'light' bulbs which put out almost enough light to see the person sitting across the table from you. I exaggerate -- slightly -- for emphasis. But, it may not have occured to the Management that when there is almost no interior illumination, and you have these big 'picture' windows from which a great bit of light streams in, it makes it very hard, for some of us, anyway, to see because of the glare from the outside -- it's like driving with all the cars on the other side of the road having their "brights" on. Your eyes have adjusted to near total darkness, and then you are blinded by a bright light.
I like Charred Pie. But, I don't like the milieu.

Found a closer, nice pizza place I've been searching for finally! Helpful, friendly staff. Excellent food choice & combinations of ingredients. Can be modified for vegans. Some alcohol & desserts house made! A new favorite place!

Best pizza I've tasted since I left New Jersey three decades ago!
This cozy pizza joint is an absolute gem! The pizzas are cooked to perfection, and the service is top-notch. I only wish you had a location in Chandler, AZ! If you find yourself in Oro Valley, make sure to stop by for a mouthwatering slice and a cold beer. You won’t be disappointed!
A few of my friends and I dined here this evening and had a great time. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere were great for a Saturday evening. It was a tad busy when we first arrived, as expected, but the service was still awesome; kudos to Chris P., she was wonderful as well as the entire staff. We had the Wood Fired Bread with cheese as an appetizer. I ate the Lemon Chicken pasta dish, and my friends enjoyed their sandwiches and salad. I also enjoyed the Charred Punch cocktail. We’ll definitely return in the future. I look forward to trying one of their pizzas next time.
Parking: There were plenty of parking places available, we were very close to the entrance of the restaurant.
Went for lunch, had the lunch special. The salad was fresh and was delicious. Their lemon basil dressing is delicious. Had a personal size pizza, just like NY style. Service from Abby was on point! Great food and service, highly recommend.
