19 Best Pizza Restaurants near Carolina Beach

“Went on a recommendation and glad I did. I can't explain it exactly but this pizza made me feel nostalgic. Excellent all the way around. Generous with everything. The sauce slightly sweet and perfect. I had a pepperoni and sausage slice. Can't wait to have a fresh pie. They are heavy handed with the cheese so let them know if you dont want a lot of cheese. Seems like their baseline is my vision of extra cheese. Still I'll ne driving happily from downtown to scratch my pizza itch. Very good.“

“The pizza needs more sauce! It’s dry! Crispy is one thing but don’t like dry. I’m Italian ! So we ordered a side of sauce . Got less than a quarter cup n was charged. Come on ! N yes we are local with a rental n our rentals ask us for recommendations.“

“we ordered a large pie garlic knots and salad and were very pleased. the garlic knots are massive and the pizza was full of flavor. one of the only places in ten days of eating out that has fresh greens in the salad so props for that“

“first i want to say my review is a combination of the company and the store, as far as companies go, they might be one of the worst companies i have dealt with, customer service would get a minus 5 if it were possible, watch the charges on your card if you order online. far as the store, usually pretty good for the price depending on certain factors.“

“Vinny’s is our go to for pizza on the island. Kori and her team are always on point!“

“The pizza at ZAPIE is expensive, but I find myself ordering it time-and-time again as a treat. It's basically gourmet pizza and I prefer it to some of its nearby competitors.
I normally order pizzas from places that specialize in gourmet pizza-making and are not part of a franchise, ZAPIE has lots of pizza recipes that other places don't offer, especially where white pies are concerned. My favorite is Paula's Choice, it's a white pie with a garlic oil sauce, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and spinach and I add anchovies to that. I also like my pizza well-done.
One of my favorite pizza places in town was Pizzettas before they closed and another restaurant opened up. Elizabeth's Pizza also used to dish out amazing pizza until it closed down during Covid. The latter was Italian-owned, which I appreciated since I am from Italy and know the makings of a good pizza. 🍕
Anyway, the pizza at ZAPIE is generally good, but it's expensive pre-and-post Covid.
A couple of nights ago I had an issue where I placed an order for delivery an hour before closing and their online system gave me confirmation of the order completion and that I had been charged and then unbeknownst to me, the order was cancelled somehow because my confirmation stated the pizza would take about 60 minutes for preparation and delivery, but myself and guests waited over an hour and a half before ordeing food from another place. Needless to say the pizza never arrived.
I originally wrote a bad review because when I spoke to the manager the next day he simply apologized with no offering to mitigate the circumstances of myself and my friends' inconvenience of waiting for hours for our late-night dinner.
After my poor review, the same manager I had originally talked with left me a very nice and respectful voicemail informing me that his intentions were to discount my pizza upon my next order if I was willing to give the business another chance, which I intend to do because systems get glitches that sometimes cause failures in the processes we have in place, but that's how we learn how to take the preventative measures to ensure better outcomes in the future.
Every good business deserves a chance to make things right for their customers and when I write my reviews, my goal is to help potential customers as much as the business itself because a good business takes no customer for granted.“

“My Absolute favorite place for lunch or dinner! They have the best staff and the food is consistently phenomenal! I am super picky and they have the BEST cheese & pineapple pizza with ranch!“

“I have tried the pizza, pasta, & subs. They were all great! The desserts are awesome too.“

“Great food, customer service and clean environment.“

“Michaelangelo’s is a fan favorite at our house when it comes to pizza.🍕 The dough tastes amazing and is coupled with their fresh ingredients. Friendly staff make the experience wonderful whether you’re eating a slice at the restaurant or grabbing pizza to go home.“

“The staff are always very friendly and helpful. The items used to make their pizzas are fresh and the restaurant is clean and well maintained. The pizzas are always made to perfection and taste delicious when baked!

Vegetarian options: They do have a wonderful variety of veggies so anyone could always make a veggie pizza of their choice.“

“probably one of the best pizza places in the state. every time ive ordered, its been better than the last. Last order came 30 minutes early and was their best yet“

“The pizza is good but the Nachos are really good. This place is one of the only places I've ever been that layers the nachos. They use two types of cheese and the toppings are plentiful. We get the veggie nachos and add chicken. 1 order is more then enough for two people and will keep you picking for an hour. Great game day choice.“

“love there pizza and you cant get unlimited toppings“

“First time here. I had a take out, and I ordered the spaghetti. Its very basic, and the sauce tasted like it came out of a bottle, no favor, and the noobles needed salt. I only eat what I could, and threw out the rest in the garbage. As for the restaurant itself, it needs be renovated. Looks like an old pizza hut from the 80's.“

“I mean I do recommend it but I got a medium pizza last night that was so sad and soggy and half cooked. I couldn’t even eat it. I had one slice that was good to eat. I ate the crust off another piece and even the crust was sad. I’ve been here so many times that were good. This time was so sad. I called and called and no one picked up. Then I had to go to work before I could go back. In the photo is the sad pizza not even 10 hours later.“

“This was a cool experience, the pizza chef talked to my son and he loved it while we waited. Food was fresh and very tasty. All the flavors were there. Unlike some Domino's, this location is doing it right. While we were on a weekend away, and I didn't take pictures, we ordered 2 pizzas, 5 Mac And cheese, 2 orders of wings, and the lava's. It was all very flavorful. And you can't get that everywhere. When we come back here, we will be eating Domino's from this location again! And all the staff and pizza chefs were very kind, and full of energy. Positive energy. That's what went into my food and I appreciate it.“

“It was 1230 a m when I ordered on the app and the food was cooked as if it were there first order of the day . You can tell when someone cares about there job weather it's shoveling poop or making pizzas they did it to the best of their ability. The pertty lady cooking and working the counter was nice fast and on point not to mention pizza garlic and cinnamon twist were excellent good job momma!!! ??
