50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Charlotte

“Fantastic! We live an hour and a half away and we will come again. Wow!“

“My wife and I took our daughter there this past Wednesday. They split a Dolce Salato flatbread pizza and I had bucatini amatriciana and for dessert pistachio semifreddo. Oh it was delizioso, and an excellent choice! We will return there!! Our waitress Alina took great care of us!!!“

“My name is Dr. Orange and I’m an addict. I’m addicted to Pizza. My addiction started as far back as I can remember. Growing up in New York – Well, the rest is history. I’ve had them all! – Believe me when I tell you I’ve had them all. My Barber @ Caliber Men’s Grooming in Charlotte (Brian L.)– had to tell me about this place. I will not forgive him! Pizza Baby – might quite possible be one of the best Pizza’s I have had in my entire life. Hands down – This may be the best Pizza in the Carolinas. My Wife only allows me to have the Margherita; - “Most Days” – we order an 18” Margherita with Fresh Garlic / Well Done. No Flop! – Crispy – Absolutely unbelievable. Confession – We are guilty of not leaving the house and have never actually visited any of the Pizza Baby Locations – Out “Knowledge” is through the Daily/Countless Door Dash orders that we place. The Menu is simple; the Pizza design is simple. Don’t be a schmuck and make it complicated. Kudos! – You must try! Pizza Baby – Charlotte, NC is truly out of this world! L’Chayim!

“I didn’t actually get to try any food because I was escaping from a creepy person on the street outside my solidcore class. They were so kind, not just to let me wait inside but also they offered to escort me back to the class and were just overall really kind and empathetic. I would love to support a business that has those values. Can’t wait to try the food one day, I bet it’s amazing based on the people ?“

“Detroit style pizza was new to me (square, deep dish, sauce on top of the cheese) and very tasty and good.

Megan at the bar was super nice to us as was our server, whose name I didn’t get.

Cool place with a nice atmosphere.

We’ll totally go back.“

“Good food, terrific service! It’s loud, but what place isn’t anymore?“

“i remember when Geno D's pizza was in toms river nj best pizza ever“

“WE FOUND THIS PLACE BY ACCIDENT FOOD IS EXCELLENT WE FELT LIKE WE WERE BACK IN NEW YORK AT THE ITALIAN MARKET THANKS GREAT MEMORIES“

“Happened upon this place after visiting the photo studio next door, and was pleasantly surprised by how great the experience was. The food was really, really good. We ordered a hawaiian pizza, mango habanero wings, chicken strips & fries. Everything was super fresh & cooked perfectly. My family & I were serviced by Glinda, who went above & beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of the entire time. We will definitely be back!“

“Fantastic! We live an hour and a half away and we will come again. Wow!“

“I love the pizza! In fact, I order it every time I visit my daughter in Wilmington! Crust is just perfect!“

“Was a delicious breakfast. Great service and pretty inside. Would be nice to try outside next time and the dinner.“

“Highly recommend!!! If perfection was used to describe the atmosphere, this place would be an understatement!“

“Was a fun time for the kids, but just too many people there today lots of birthday parties“

“Celebrated son’s milestone to adulthood, 20th birthday as a fellow pizza lover here. After reading reviews, we drove from SC and we all agreed it was the best pizza. The staff was friendly and professional. Only downside is the no indoor seating but the outdoor aesthetics was cozy.“

“Absolutely love this bar! Great atmosphere, and great food. SteveO always makes sure we are happy and taken care of.“

“First time great service e“

“Was delicious and huge portion“

“Order a pizza got delivered. I hate that they don’t have the the seal on the box anymore to let you know that your box has not been tampered with.“

“hard to find good NY pizza thank you Hawthornes i just found the slice that reminds me of home.“

“If you like Neapolitan Pizza you will love this place. We tried the Pistachio Pesto Pizza and it was surprisingly one of our favorite pizzas. Along with the Diavola Pizza, the Burrata Pizza, and the Mushroom Maria (which i felt could use more tuffle oil, but it was still really good.) And they have the best Cannolis I have ever tasted in my life. Made with real mascarpone cheese, not basic brick cream cheese. And the pumpkin spice one was a really nice autum treat! Would go great with a cuppa coffee. We ate 4 pizzas in store. And ordered another pizza and cannolis to go. This place is a must try. Me and my family give it a 10/10.“

“Usually excellent, my most recent experience less so. I ordered extra cheese on the pizza and there was barely any, the food arrived 30 minutes late“

“This location is good in a spot with other options as well the pizza was BIG and SO good. I got the ricotta pie. Amazing if you like simple but the herbs made it. People were very nice and the inside was nice enough to want to dine in for a lunch date.“

“Went for the first time as part of an event for InnerCircle Charlotte and it was amazing! Had space for multiple vendors. Great drinks with non-alcoholic beverages available. The Hot Honey Pizza was to die for! I will definitely be returning!“

“O lThis place is amazing, I'm coming from the north * New Jersey/New York * and was looking for a nice pizza place and this place came up first so I checked it out and when I tell you the flavor on their slices had me hooked ???. Been here in charlotte for a few months and this place felt like home. They are really nice people, try it“

“Love their pizza! Especially the pistachio pizza“

“UPDATE 11/7/2024

It has been one week since we had such atrocious service from our server "Tom". See below. Tonight we went back again as Brixx Blakeney is still our favorite restaurant. We asked for an got Leanne as our server. And as usual she Exceeded All Expectations. Drinks were plentiful, Pizza was hot and tasty, and her service could not have been better. Even though she was very busy, she took time to make sure we had everything we needed for a great Pizza experience.

My only question which I guess is none of my business is why is Tom still there. Tonight he was just walking around in circles or standing around. Leanne and Scott (another great server) were almost running. Tom was just there. I watched him serve another booth. He was there three times: Take order, bring drinks, bring and take bill on his little electronic device. That is not service.
But as long as we never have him again, that is Brixx business.
Thank You Leanne for such a great dining experience. You are the best. Scott is also great as is Max.

UPDATE 10/31/2024

It has been about a month since we were last there. We have always loved Brixx Blakeney. But since we were there last time they have hired a new server (Tom). After we had been seated for a good while (restaurant was far from full) Tom came over. He took our drink order and brought them. Then he left and we did not see him again for over 10 minutes. During this time we were speaking with the other servers we have known for years. Leann stopped to talk a minute as she is a friend and our favorite server. When I asked could she not swap with Tom she just shook her head no. Tom was ignoring us. Leann had to move on to her tables and Tom finally came back to take our order. It is BOGO day due to the Hornets. So I told him. He said I had to show him something on the ap or email. So I did, even though no one had ever asked for this in years. Again, no one showed up for a long time. Finally the pizzas came out. My wifes Pizza was so cold the cheese had hardened. Tom was no where to be seen. So finally I took the pizza to the counter myself. I asked the young man who was helping put the plates and boxes together to ask the cooks to heat it up. He quickly did. And he did a great job and made sure the pizza came back very quickly. Good for him. Tom? No where to be seen. After another 10 or so minutes Tom just walked up and took our drink glasses and refilled them. Then he was gone again. No sign until he came back with the bill. No BOGO was on it. I asked again. He said for me to show him proof I was entitled to this (again) so I did. He disappeared again. Then came back with an adjusted bill. This time he pulled out the little machine some of the waiters used to use to charge at the table. And rather than me being able to leave the tip I wanted, it had 3 choices that I could see. 25% 20% or 15%. Maybe there was an option for 0% but I did not see it. So I was forced to give 15% for very very poor service. I would have rather given the young man at the counter some money because he was the only person that help us. So service was awful.

My pizza was still luke warm so I ate it. But it was very chewy and not very tasty. Very disappointing for my favorite restaurant in Charlotte (see review above)

I hate leaving poor reviews but feel I must be truthful in my disappointment.

“I recently visited this location while in town visiting. The food was absolutely AMAZING! I tried the gluten free crust…. Incredible! My son enjoyed his pizza as well! The service was outstanding! The prices are very reasonable and you get a nice portion. I highly recommend and will definitely return when I visit Charlotte.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crust options

Parking: Free parking!“

“We came in late lasting with a group of 5 and Aspen was still really sweet and the food and drinks were amazing we was so nervous about going late because I know how working in the food industry is but everything was amazing down to the drinks!“

“Being from NY it is exceptionally difficult to find decent pizza living in the south. Luigi's is our go-to when we want pizza and the food is always on point. The staff are friendly and welcoming and we always have a great experience here.“

“hard to find good NY pizza thank you Hawthornes i just found the slice that reminds me of home.“

“ABSOLUTELY thee best pizza the biggest slice and taste like home (New York) Top it off with AWESOME customer service. A great date night“

“I love the pizza! In fact, I order it every time I visit my daughter in Wilmington! Crust is just perfect!“

“hard to find good NY pizza thank you Hawthornes i just found the slice that reminds me of home.“

“Loved eating here! Visiting from out of town and stopped in on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised by the wait time, friendliness/ service, food quality, atmosphere, pricing… all of it! We got 2 slices of pepperoni pizza and Carolina gold boneless wings and both were phenomenal! Would 100% recommend this place! Also, Gluten free cauliflower crust was available.“

“Great place to eat at, food is the best !!“

“Love DeSano Pizza! I have a garlic allergy and they always accommodate my custom order to make my pizza without garlic. They even change their gloves so there isn't any cross-contamination. Love this place!“

“Hidden gem !!! Was looking for somewhere new and saw the high ratings. It is worth EVERY SINGLE high rating. 5 out of 5. Fresh Bolognese sauce which you cannot find around here. Wife had stuffed shells. Couple pizzas to take home to the kids. Got to know Romeo and Katrina - so nice. This place deserves to be known. PS - Try the meatballs.“

“A Charlotte tradition for several generations. Great staff, food and cozy place for fellowship!! Za is awesome !!“

“I remember being 12 years old and coming here, and terrorizing my 6 year old sister saying the wolfman was gonna get her. Now I'm coming here 25 years later with my husband who is obsessed with the old Universal Horror monsters. The restaurant is perfectly nerdy and on point with all their werewolf decor and the pizza is legit. Wish I had pizza half as good as this where I live, but for now it's a staple every time I come to Charlotte.“

“This is truly a family restaurant and the family that owns it is the best!! ♥️♥️♥️Delicious food and great prices. By far, my favorite place to dine- they have something for everyone!“

“Julius is amazing. We are new to the area and we've been to many restaurants as a family to try things out. Julius is by far one of the best servers I've ever had in my life. He went out of his way to make my sons dinner amazing and surprised all the kids at the end of the meal with a special dessert because they were so well behaved. Thank you for making our start to a new life down here amazing.“

“We came in for lunch and Tam took the absolute best care of us. Had a pep + sausage pizza and it beat the socks off any local shop I've had in the last four years. Came from about 20 minutes away and it won't be the last time! Thanks again T!!“

“This place provides the most consistently positive experience and quality food I’ve ever experienced. Consistency might not sound like a “rave” review, but that’s kind of the whole point. I know to anticipate absolute perfection (and excellence in execution) of a menu that leaves no taste unanswered. Beyond the perfection of the food, the service from Intermezzo’s team is also unmatched, consistently. They are kind, hardworking, and accommodating—even in the busiest moments of their days. It’s difficult to find restaurants that feel like the ones we grew up with—but this is it. The experience with the environment, the people and the food adds up to far more the sum of the individually excellent parts.

*I write this review for Sofija, and honestly hope nobody reads it and hinders my ability to find a bar seat“

“After a fun round of pickleball, there is nothing better than a fantastic meal and a drink at Rally. We had the Spanish Riviera board, a Rally Old Fashioned and a Queen City Spritz. Everything exceeded our expectations!“

“Best gluten free pizza I’ve ever tasted in my ten years being gluten free. Phenomenal!“

“By far, Tony’s has the most authentic Ny Style thin crust pizza in this area. Mario’s, their sister site, is great, too! The red sauce is amazing. Won’t find a better tasting white pizza around! (University area Tony’s). The salads with house dressing are great, too! Coming from a pizza snob, believe me when I say it’s the best pizza around the Charlotte & Greensboro area during our 16 yrs here! Please venture into Rock Hill, SC very soon!!!“

“While the food is fantastic, the people who own and manage this place are what keeps us coming back. The staff is ultra attentive to customers. I come in with my two toddlers frequently, and the staff is always asking how they can make things easier. Wonderful people all around, complementing the great food.“
