Hawthorne's New York Pizza and Bar 7th Street

10 Best Pizza Restaurants in Charlotte, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Serving New York-style and tavern-style bar pies since 2004, this pizzeria prides itself on being family-friendly in each of its nine restaurants, but calls its original location in the Elizabeth neighborhood home. For pre-gaming before a night on the town, a casual meal with friends, or a dinner with family, there is something for everyone, including a gluten-sensitive menu with a cauliflower crust and alternative sauce options. Try the legendary Inducer, a Buffalo hot sauce-layered pizza with chicken and mozzarella cheese, and a famous last meal for hundreds of expectant mothers close to their due dates." - Shindy Chen
