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.
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, and then probably weekly.
The crust comes from a 200-year-old sourdough starter, which is a flex most pizzerias can't match. Go on a Friday for Pizza Flights and try three different 8-inch pies.
I gave Luisa's red sauce and garlic flatbread high marks, but the eggplant parm was a greasy letdown and the meatballs tasted freezer-burned despite being labeled house-made. I'm heading back soon to try what seems to be their real strength—the pizza—so stay tuned for a proper update. Full review on my Substack.
Great NY-style pizza with slices in the afternoon and full pies at night. Wings and pasta round it out. A neighborhood pizzeria doing everything right.
Meadow's Italiano in Mooresville does wood-fired pizza the right way, with quality ingredients and a crust that rivals the coal-fired legends of NYC. The Salsiccia is a must-order: pork sausage, smoked mozzarella, roasted red peppers, Mike's Hot Honey, Vidalia onion, roasted garlic, basil, and pecorino on a…
Huge NY-style pies and legitimately great cheesesteaks. It's the two-craving problem solved in one order.
Nonna's catering brought Olympic-worthy lasagna with perfectly synchronized layers of rich meat sauce and al dente pasta, Chicken Francese that earned a standing ovation with its lemon-butter and white wine sauce, and garlic knots so good I wanted to write them a love song. The eggplant parmigiana is a plant-based…
Huge NY-style pizzas, emphasis on huge. Bring friends or embrace the leftovers.
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.
