Inizio Pizza

Inizio Pizza

10620 Providence Rd, Charlotte, NC 28277, USA

My top pizza in Charlotte. Neapolitan style, best eaten fresh in the dining room, and I ask for a light cook. Do the same and thank me later.

Great NY-style pizza, no asterisks. Sometimes that's the whole review.

Singas Pizza

Singas Pizza


4732 Monroe Rd #120, Charlotte, NC 28205, USA

Not NY style and not trying to be. Pan pizza with cheese and sauce running edge to edge on a sturdy, crispy crust. A Berkshires original worth trying once, a…

Libretto's Pizza

15205 John J Delaney Dr Suite A, Charlotte, NC 28277, USA

The owner ran a pizza shop on 3rd Ave in Manhattan, and it shows. Real-deal NY pizza. They even make a THC pizza under the name Spinello's if that's your thing.
