The Open Kitchen is a Charlotte treasure. For over 60 years, this American – Italian – Greek style of Italian restaurant has represented comfort food at its finest. I’ve been eating here for more than 20 years and it still fills me up and satisfies me with great food. From Christina behind the counter to a complement of servers that have been there for years, this restaurant is an experience and a pleasure. It may not be fine dining, but it’s damn good food.
This is Charlottes oldest and maybe the first Italian Restaurant. My father-in -law told me that after he got out of the service maybe 65 years ago he had served in San Francisco. He fell in love with the San Francisco pizza. When he returned to Charlotte, Open Kitchen was open and was the first to serve pizza in the area. The food was great and he and the family became regulars.
Try some Charlotte history. Try the pizza!

This is a. Old school local spot. No frills just good food and food people. We move here at least once a week for either the Barcelona Chicken or the Mama K's pizza. Food and staff are very consistent which is one of primary things we look for.
One of the few great staples on the Westside.
