"Being described as being a hole-in-the-wall leads to less than favorable connotations, but when that hole ends up on Forbes best new restaurant list, people tend to listen. Husband and wife duo, Kerrel and Nkem Thompson opened Bird in 2021 with not much more than a pickup window, a hanging sign, and a pizza oven. Order online and choose a pick-up time or take a chance and walk up to the window at this popular Optimist Park neighborhood spot. While this Black-owned pizza shop is cashless, the pizza is timeless. The East Coast-style pizza has vegan options and a simple menu with topping options such as pepperoni, Calabrian peppers, and hot honey. Simple add-ons like kale salad and bottled Mexican Coke make this literal hole-in-the-wall a Queen City destination." - Nikki Miller-Ka

The reservation was difficult to get but well worth the wait! The space is simple and elegant. The service was outstanding. I cant praise them enough for delivering five star service. The pizza was fantastic. We had potatoes on our pizza, yes that sounds odd but it was perfectly executed. Can’t way to go back. That you bird team!

My husband and I dined here on Wednesday evening, and if you’re planning to sit inside, be prepared! Reservations are a must since the restaurant has only about 10-15 tables, depending on party size. Make sure to book well in advance. Once inside, it takes a little time to get everyone seated and order drinks, but the wait isn’t too bad. The menu is limited, which makes sense for a fine dining pizza restaurant. The drinks were excellent, and the pizza was absolutely delicious—fresh, hot, and made to order straight from the oven. Overall, this is a great spot for a cozy yet upscale date night. For two drinks and a whole pizza, our total was around $60. Is it on the pricier side? Yes, but the quality of the ingredients makes it worth it. 9/10! This keeps your friendly tone while making the flow smoother. Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

You definitely need a reservation, but we got lucky and were able to walk up. We waited an hour for the table, but we were able to enjoy a cocktail at the door while we waited. The host was very kind to us, and the staff were amazing. The pizzas - we ordered the Best White and Grandad pies. Both were excellent. The olive oil cake was perfect! The vibe was cool, but a smidge too dark. This experience was 10x better than my last review at the "other" pizzeria place.

WOW!!!! This place is amazing. That kale salad?! I could’ve eaten 4 of those. Went with a girlfriend we had some drinks, small but cute place. Bartender was great as well, didn’t catch her name. This is a high volume place so I recommend booking a reservation and your time at the table is “limited”

We loved it! Coming from NJ, we are pretty picky about pizza and had not found our favorite place in Charlotte until we came here. Absolutely delicious crispy thin crust pizza. We had the house salad, “OG” pie and the white slice. Everything was unique and super flavorful. We finished dinner out with a bottle of wine and olive oil cake with ice cream. Our bartender was wonderful and helped us order what we liked, her recommendations were on point! The dining room itself was minimalist and had a relaxing cool vibe. We will 100% come back and recommend to others.

We loved everything about this place. The husband and wife ownership team was in the restaurant, working as hard as any employee, and both took time to speak to us even though it was our first time there. The pizzas are perfect, with great crispy crust, and the salads are enormous. It was a very fun atmosphere that felt like a small shop in a Manhattan neighborhood. We will definitely be back!

Cannot say enough good things about this place! I am amongst many people here I know, but another rave review for the kale caesar and the pizza with cheese, basil, and pepperoni! The spritz will ginger was delicious as well. They do a few things and they knock them out of the park. Service was also great, and especially appreciated seeing the owner go to each table to make sure everything was perfect. That’s very rare these days, and is a wonderful reminder that this is a LOCALLY owned spot by real human beings in our community. Cannot wait to return!!

We are giving 4 stars since we didn’t get our to go order for pizza. Went here for a double date with our best friends. We all heard about this being the best pizza in Charlotte. So we had to try it and yes it’s true! Everybody loved their pizza! My husband and I got the OG pizza and our friends got the pepperoni hot honey. Both were great! I can’t wait to take my parents here! We didn’t have to ask for well done it came out well doneish. So prefect! Great friendly staff! Super cool spot. Yes it’s small inside but it makes it intimate and special. Just if you want to take a pizza home you may not get a chance. We asked and they didn’t have enough dough. So maybe order ahead of time for that. Not sure but we were sad we couldn’t bring any home. Our friends were nice enough to let us take their leftovers! Super cool spot for a date night and to share a few bottles of wine! And they are connected with Substrate the wine bar. They share the bathroom. So have some wine at Substrate first then take that bathroom hallway to Bird. Super easy.

I have said this before and I will say it again. This pizza is freaking awesome. It is perfect every single time. I have settled on the pepperoni and Calabrian pepper pizza as my "go to" pie. Trust me ... my leftover Bird pizza in the morning is my favorite breakfast as well. If I could rate any one business higher than 5 stars it would be Nkem and his team at Bird. They are the BEST!

This is a pizza place of some repute but it is a quite limited New-Age-y business model. There is effectively a takeout window with a few outdoor chairs. Ordering is only by QR code. And they just offer pizzas in one large size and only a couple of other things. As such, I placed an order and went over to Optimist Hall (nearby, but a difficult street crossing as of this writing due to the lack of functioning traffic lights) where more seating and more salad and appetizer options abound. When I did return for my pizza I was pleased with it. I don't usually get kale on pizza but as an experiment it worked out okay. The sharpness of the cheese and browned crust flavor were strong enough to render the kale a worthwhile counter rather than allowing it to take over. Notably, this place does offer a vegan pizza but the other reviewers didn't seem as high on it, which is a shame.

This is THE BEST pizza you'll find in Charlotte, coming from someone who has lived here for 28 years and who grew up spending summers and winters in New Haven CT eating coal-fired pizza (the best). So I pride myself on knowing good pizza. The red sauce has great flavor, the crust is crispy yet chewy, the pie is perfectly thin...what more could you want?! My favorite ways to order: - Plain Pizza (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil) + add Peperoni and Hot Honey - Plain Pizza (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil) Did you see Bird Pizza in Charlotte was just featured in The New York Times' "22 of the Best Pizza Places in the United States" article?! I've been shouting it from the rooftops that I think it's the best pizza in Charlotte ever since tasting it for myself earlier this year! I cannot wait to see what the sit down concept looks like.

Sausage+Arugula Pizza: 4/5 - Good flavors. Crust was a bit floppy. (Long wait even with ordering ahead.) RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Definitely getting this again) 4 - Good (Would get it again) 3 - Ok (Might give it another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

I am so happy that Bird is open and expanding! It is going strong and consistently. The food, service, and, soon, dining ambiance are genuinely unique. Hoping that the toppings expand to chicken, prosciutto, and other meats. Yes, there are veggie options (and vegan!) I was vegan for years, but then my three y/o niece gave me a cookie, and welp..., However, I digress :-) My go-to is Pepperoni and Sausage with Red Sauce, Onions, Garlic, Arugula, and hot honey on the side. Order on the Bird Pizzeria app. Not chancing a walk-in, as I am reserving my luck for the Powerball :-)

7.3 pizza defiantly whoever put this in The NY Times was a fool it's good pizza but nothing to drive a half hour away for. No plates just get a pizza so if you have kids get creative. Worth a try but nothing special.

Upon arrival to Charlotte, my travel group and I were provided with a delivery from Bird Pizzeria which exceeded our expectations. We had a variety of pizzas, with a range of different toppings and yes, I tried them all and was not disappointed! Lol. The Kale Caesar salad was so good, and the group kept providing compliments on the quality of the food. We also learned a little bit about the business which is led by a husband wife team with roots from the Midwest. Definitely a must try!

I've had a lot of pizzas in my day, love pizza, watch pizza, and make my own Neapolitan pizzas. These pizzas had a lot of hype and they still were better than I expected, probably one of the best if not the best pizza I've ever had. Perfect ratio of cheese, sauce and meat. Super thin interior crust and really tasty outer crust. You can definitely tell they ferment their dough, and the crust is very flavorful, crispy, and bouncy. Will definitely come here again and again! Had to plan ahead a little for pickup, but service was right on time and it was totally worth it.

Wow, wow, wow. Got a pepperoni for takeout and it's such a combination. Everything that you love from a new york style pizza and everything you love from a bowling alley pizza, but NONE of the bad Best pizza I've had in Charlotte

First the facts: Ordered 2 pizzas and two waters at 5:57PM. Pizzas served at 7:46PM. But let's go back to how we got here: Read article in New York Times about 22 best pizzas in the US. I work 3 days a week in Charlotte and was meeting up with a work colleague for dinner. Rather than a formal sit-down restaurant, I proposed Bird pizza. We knew it was going to be casual. We both get there and my colleague orders the pizzas from his phone. So far so good. It all goes downhill form there. Approaching the window, we ask for our beverages and how long the pizza would take. "Just chill, and we are out of San Pellegrino so all we have is tap water. And Mexican Coke". Tap water it is. As we sit on the improvised curbside patio we watch people come and go. Some live nearby and are clearly return customers. They pick up the pizza they ordered during the Reagan administration. Output, about 1-2 pizzas every 5 minutes. We knew we were going to wait. We talked, drank one cup of warm tap water. At about 7PM, the restaurants stops taking orders. They even have a sign for this. "All Pizza reservations are full". I admire the gall of a business model that includes failing their customers with a dedicated sign. Clearly nobody cares here. 7:46PM comes around, we get our pizzas. A red one with arugula and a white one with sausage. The anticipation by now has worn off. A second cup of tap water, again in the low 80ies, was generously provided. The pizza is piping hot, actually not bad; But not worth the wait, not worth the trip, for sure not worth a return trip. I trust many others will reach the same conclusion. That should address the availability of pizza reservations. What could I have done in 2 hours ? I could have walked to Capische and had a pizza just as good. I could have gone to Omaggio and also had a pizza that is not worse that Bird. In either case, I could have had a drink, would not have sat in the heat and felt abused by some condescending operator who got his moment of fame as one of 22 best pizzas in the US. Clearly, the New York times only went to 22 places.

I had a veggie pizza and it was memorable. I wish that they had other proteins options other than pork.

Rachel T.

Yelp
So I'm from Buffalo... that should say enough... This pizza though ... YUM. So far it's the only good pizza we've found in Charlotte. It's more of a NY style with the thinner crust .. but the flavors hit right and the crust is excellent! Definitely order ahead because they sell out quick! another good sign!

Lisa F.

Yelp
Had this one in my bookmarks for a while now. Finally got to try them this Friday. We walked up right on time before they sold out. The pizza is cooked to perfection. Lovely charred crust, slightly sweet & tangy sauce, good quality cheese & cupped pepperoni. Delicious!!

Diya J.

Yelp
Underwhelming vegan pizza. The menu stated that there's a vegan aged cheese alternative. The FAQ even states they are waiting to perfect their vegan cheese, which is why they didn't have a vegan cheese yet - clearly a dated FAQ. But either way, I was very excited to try the vegan option they finally had. This was basically a marinara pizza. Do not have any expectations of an actual vegan cheese option. This should have been communicated better so people ordering a vegan pizza don't have expectations. When asking about the vegan cheese after receiving what appeared to just be a marinara pie - the person was real snobby and described they have some vegan cheese seasoning that's sprinkled on there. We waited 20 minutes past our scheduled pick up time.

Great food and friendly staff! Ordered online and even had to change time of pickup and they were very accommodating. Ordered pepperoni pizza with hot honey. Thin crust and good flavor. Just how a pizza should be.

Yelp
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, can't get fooled again. I just went to Bird for the second time. The first time not only did they forget our order (which kept us waiting for almost 3 hours) but it was definitely not fresh tasting or worth the price. It's been almost a year so I decided to try it again after all the hype it has gotten. THE SAME THING HAPPENED. They forgot about my order, and THEN the 2 mediocre pizzas and 2 bland salads cost me $90!!!! WHAT??!?!? Save your money and go get a delicious pizza at Hawthornes that tastes far more fresh. SO DISAPPOINTING!!! WILL NOT BE RETURNING

This was hands down one of Charlotte's BEST pizzas! Matter of fact, I'll be ordering again this week! Can't wait for pick up.

The best pizza I've had in Charlotte so far. The online ordering system is efficient and gives you an accurate estimate of when you can pick up your order. The first time I went, I ordered a classic, cheese and pepperoni, with hot honey on the side. I couldn't wait until I got home to try, so I bust the box open in my car. Did I burn my mouth on the slice? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. I love white pizza, but can be slightly particular when it comes to quality. Bird's white pizza reached my standards and surpassed them, plus the leftovers reheated well and tasted just about as good as the first day. I'm not sure if the expansion project is finished, but I'm excited to dine inside the space and try the new menu.

Spent 25 bucks for them to burn the white pizza. The fresh mozzarella, ricotta butter garlic, olive oil, basil all burn.

My husband and I went for the first time to the temporary set up and had a mishap when attempting to order from the QR code while standing in the sweltering heat. It was worth the wait! The Owners were so gracious and got us taken care of in the end. The pizza is nothing short of magical. Best we've ever had and we aren't spring chickens! LOL! I am so happy we discovered Bird Pizzeria and will spread the word along with providing all of our support for what I hope to be many years to come! Gregg and Kem A.

Great pizza ! Don't like you can only order online no phone number and parking sucks. Wait times were awful, but I would definitely get another pie here because it's great pizza !

How do I know yelp reviews are BS? This place, Bird Pizzeria, is the number one spot and it's not even in the top 5 on best pizza in Charlotte on the yelp app. Great sauce perfect crisp and a great story inside, family affair. I wish I could get out there more.

Sara B.

Yelp
$30 for a trendy pizza that has burnt crust. Maybe I'm just not well educated on the pizza scene...but poor customer service and inconvenience even getting the pizza is not worth going back for another try, imo :( I wanted to like it, maybe it was an off day

Alison ..

Yelp
Please , this is not one of the best pizzas in the country. It's fine, nothing to go out of your way for when travelling between cities in NC and def not worth a trip to Charlotte. Sorry, it does not compare to L'Industrie or most other NY Pizza places or Bianco in Arizona . Meh. Crust was not great, cheese was weird and the red sauce was very sweet .

Veronica W.

Pretty greasy, floppy slices. Ok prices. Only take out btw. Idk I don't think it's worth the hype

Lena B.

I don't understand what went wrong with my order, since I ordered a Vegan Pizza from them 2 years ago, when they were a Food Truck popup at Rosie's Coffee & Wine Garden a couple years ago..... but this was tragic. I ordered the "Vegan Pie" and after consuming it.....became extremely nauseous. And ended up having diarrhea! Not sure if it was the sauce or the *aged cheese alternative". However, i had a rough time because of it. Unfortunately, i cant leave a nice review because ultimately the pizza made me sick !

RosemaryAnn T.

Yelp
Haven't written a review in ages but this was so upsetting it was worth the hassle of resetting my password. There is a ton of hype about this pizza and this place. It's cute and the flavors can be reasonable but the process is atrocious. They say "Just a few minutes" to your face then you wait OVER AN HOUR until AFTER CLOSING to get a pie. It wasn't the worst. It was warm, reasonable crust texture, but the dough had minimal flavor except for the oil and salt, and was burned at the edges. BUT! It wasn't just the crust. The whole pizza was drowned in olive oil. Drowned. And frankly the predominant flavor was black pepper. It was a good amount of cheese and mushroom but for $30 you can buy some fantastic cheese and mushrooms and not slather it in olive oil and spoil it with too much salt and pepper. Suffice to say it isn't the best in Charlotte, although it does seem to be the most expensive with the worst service and the fewest amenities. I do NOT recommend.

Andrea C.

Yelp
I give Bird Pizza 4 stars would have given it 4.5 but could not figure out how to do this on my phone. The dough, sauce, and consistency of the pizza brought me back to feel as though I was eating In Brooklyn, NY-not a small neighborhood within Charlotte, NC. Next time I will ask for less parmesan as it was too salty for me. Overall delicious and delightful. The chefs were as impressive in their kindness. Just an FYI-order ahead so you can eat right away unless you're wanting to take it home. Outside seating only...but awfully fun to people watch.

Anthony Y.

Yelp
Very good pizza. I especially like the pepperoni they use. Only street parking on site.

Michael M.

Yelp
Definitely top charlotte pizza I've had. Thin crust with a crisp, and was very reminiscent of what I'm used to from my days in the NJ/NY/CT area. Very glad a friend recommended this place!! Con possible: parking can be limited, only a little seating (all outside), and limited hours - recommend ordering online prior to guarantee availability... and time. I can imagine walkups may need to wait more, it's a small pizzeria. Little more expensive than other places, but the quality outweighed that. Pie filled 2 of us, no leftovers. Pro: family owned. We ordered Friday for Saturday, and it was ready at the exact time scheduled. Spot on!! Enjoyed the taste of everything; bread, sauce, and cheese. For us, going there is a destination, not around the corner. So once weather is a little cooler, we will be ordering more often and taking to a park as a picnic.

Jacqueline T.

I was never able to make it to one of their popups so I was happy when they opened a permanent location making it easier to visit. I recommend preordering. They have limited availability for walk ups and the wait will be longer if you go that route. Even with a preorder, we waited for 10-15 minutes for our pizza, so just be patient. They have a handful of small tables on the sidewalk/street and I recommend trying to grab one to eat it fresh there if you can. My husband and I split: - Pepperoni Pie with Hot Honey - White Pie with Onions and Calabrian Peppers Both were fantastic. To our surprise, we liked the White Pie more. Pepperoni (especially the good kind like they have) with some hot honey is a go to for us and this one didn't disappoint. The sauce on the White Pie was so flavorful though. The Calabrian Peppers added a nice heat to balance it out too. The crust was really good. It was floppy but not so much that you couldn't eat it. It had good flavor too. The pizzas are pretty big. I'd say one is probably big enough for two people to split. If you're really hungry get more. This is now in my top 3 pizza spots in Charlotte. Go check them out!

The description says outdoor seating but it doesn't say there is no indoor seating. It's 90 degrees so that might be important to some people

Bird Pizzeria may just be my new favorite pizza place in Charlotte. They take their East Coast-style pizza by way of Cleveland to a whole new level. Be sure to preorder. They do take walk ups but the availability is limited. Even with our preorder, our pizzas were not ready for about 10-15 minutes from the time we scheduled to pick them up. And even though I was starving from fasting all day, it was absolutely worth the wait. My wife and I ordered two of their pizza pies: Pepperoni Pie with Hot Honey, and White Pie with Onions and Calabrian Peppers. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my favorite between the two was the White Pie. And I believe it is now my favorite pizza in Charlotte.

Ralph F.

Yelp
By far the best NY style Pizza I have had in NC. So if you get the chance to try it you must do it. First things to know they are only open Thursday-Saturday and only for 4 hours of until they run out of Pizza. Yes run out and the do run out quickly and early. We went on a Friday and they were out of pizza by 6pm. So get there early or advance order. Now onto the food the pizza was crispy very thin slice cooked to near perfection. The cheese and sauce were fantastic, sauce was slightly sweet. We had sausage and mixed red and white onion to me was the perfect toppings. Bon appetite my friends.

Biff T.

Yelp
Outstanding pizza! Much lighter than it looks and it came out piping hot! Crust was light and crispy and I believe they use sourdough which only enhanced the experience more! Only complaint is that it wasn't ready until 20 mins after my designated pick up time. Other than that it was amazing! May or may not have eaten the entire thing in the car before I arrived home....

Kristin A.

Yelp
Love this spot! Pizza is so freaking good! Thin crust with some chew. Can't go wrong with either red or white pie but my current favorite is white with pepperoni and hot honey. The people that work there are so nice too!

Michelle Q.

Yelp
Wanted to have pizza on a friday night and am so glad we checked their website early in the day! For some reason by the time we checked by 3:45, the earliest pickup time was 6:30 which I assume means they were booked up for pickup till then. There's only two small tables outside so I'd recommend getting to go. We ended up getting the pizza around 6:50, they said the kitchen was running a bit late. We got the white pizza with sausage and jalapeños. I was super excited to try from all the pictures. I thought the crust was really well thin, thin and crispy with great flavor from the oven. However the cheese was too greasy for me, there was excess oil and it didn't taste as fresh as it looked. I wish there was more white sauce on the pizza but the toppings we got were great! This place has great potential but I just wasn't impressed with the service and taste.

Derek S.

I had a family member from New York ask me the best pizza place in Charlotte and I couldn't really name one. I'm going to need to call them back now. This is by far the best pizza we have available in Charlotte. It lives up to the hype. Before the review, couple helpful tips: 1. You can only order online, so even if you show up in person make sure you have your phone, you'll be ordering online so just know that. 2. Expect about 1.5 hours from the time you order til the time your food is ready. A lot of pizza places you can show up 10 minutes after ordering and its ready but this is a small spot that is very popular in an "incubator" type set up, so I'm not knocking them for this but it's helpful to know. On the upside, at least for me, the time they said it was going to be available was pretty much spot on, which is all I really care about. They really only have pizza on the menu and one salad, which I think is smart, keeping it simple for now. The pizza itself is so effing good. I'll need to go back and order just a cheese so I can really get a feel for a baseline but I ordered my favorite toppings this time: pepperoni and onions. The way they do the onions is EXACTLY how I like it. They're red/white cut super thin. The sauce and cheese are both great but this place has a crispy pizza like no other place in Charlotte. I would love to know how they cook it because I would assume a coal-fired oven but the bottom has a texture on it (that I like) as if its placed on a rack of some kind. The charred crust has so much flavor as well. It's a bit of a pain that there is limited seating and it's only outdoor but I won't ding them for that. What I will say is, I can't wait until they feel comfortable getting a full on restaurant because they're gonna crush it.

Arina C.

Yelp
I had Bird for the first time and first I want to say that it may be the best crust in Charlotte. Second, we pre scheduled the pizza for 6:45, and they served it to us at 7:05pm. What is the point of requiring pre orders if you can't fulfill them at the requested time. You also charge for pre orders when they are made which I also think is unfair. You should charge when you deliver the final product and customers pick up the pizza. We noticed that they put our pizza in the oven around 7pm. There was no apology for the late pizza. Furthermore, the sausage was quite bland, cheese tasted cheap, and the sauce can use some seasoning. If you want an overall good pizza and good customer service, I'd go somewhere else (Livy's, Indaco, etc.).

Brittany D.

Yelp
I'm still drooling over this pizza even after eating it!!! I love supporting local businesses and I've had my eyes on this place. It's hard to find a pizza that's wood fired, charred, AND crispy. It's got more of a crunch than a Neapolitan, and it's SO freaking good. Friendly people working the window. There's no indoor seating, you walk up to the window. They have a new area outside for a small outdoor seats. I think they mostly do carry out but we ate it there on the spot and it was worth it! If I had to change anything it would only be less greasy.

Jontel W.

Yelp
This little spot gives off vibes of family and friends! From a person who rather eat anything other than pizza I am very impressed with variety and the presentation of the pizzas here! I saw the ig page and immediately knew that I wanted to try this place for myself! Just know I will be back and when I say I want pizza this is what I mean!!!

Best pizza I've been had, period. I ordered the red pizza with hot honey. Great crust, amazing flavor. Well worth the price.

The hours are the only thing negative about this place. I got a regular cheese pie well done, and it tasted very similar to Angelo's in Philadelphia.

Gabrielle Y.

Yelp
I had heard lots of good things about Bird Pizzeria and when I looked it up it was only a 15 min walk from my house so I figured I'd try it, and I am glad I did! I got the traditional red sauce pie with pepperoni, sausage, and the hot honey drizzle. I had read they sell out sometimes so I placed my order around 2 PM and was alerted it would be ready at 5:05 PM (they don't open until 4 PM). When I got there my pie was still being prepared but I didn't wait more than 10 minutes more than that. I definitely enjoyed the flavors of the pie, the only thing I wasn't a fan of was how much grease there was but still with a little dabbing, I was able to enjoy my slices no problem!

Sean C.

Yelp
This place somehow has both the greasiest and the most expensive pizza in Charlotte. They took over an hour to make a couple of basic pies and then completely botched the toppings. When we tried to politely talk to them about it they chewed us out for their mistake. I mean, how dare we order pizza from them? When I explained that we spent $70 for two pies and would like the toppings we paid for they mentioned reimbursement and then completely ghosted us when we followed up. Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if they hadn't served us an abomination of a "pizza." It was cold and doughy in the middle yet charred and rock hard on the edges. A few sad little pepperonis were sparingly sprinkled on the pizza, floating in the deluge of grease like diminutive icebergs sinking at the melting polar caps (we didn't even order pepperoni). Getting a pizza from Bird is like asking someone to make you a pizza who (A) doesn't understand what a pizza is, and (B) hates you. Save your time, money, tastebuds and arteries.

I've been following this pizza spot on IG patiently waiting to get over there to try them as they only open Wed-Sat 4-8pm. I finally made it over on a Saturday when they first opened. I ordered the plain pie(tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil) and the white pizza(mozzarella, ricotta, butter garlic, olive oil, basil) and I added mushrooms. I will say that the white pizza did not agree with me or my son, not sure if it was the butter garlic or ricotta. The plain pie was pretty good. The shop is located within a residential area so parking can be tricky.

I was blown away by this place! A friend recommended it so I did a date night here with my husband. The pizza was phenomenal. They use the best combo of cheeses, including what looked and tasted like a freshly grated parmesan. It was a great combination of salty with the savory sauce and fresh arugula we ordered as an extra topping. It's a significant step above a regular ol' pizza pie from most joints, but the operation itself is still laid-back. If you want to dine here, place an order in advance. There wasn't a line or anything, but we did have to wait a while for our pizza. We didn't mind though! It was a lovely evening and we snagged a seat (they have about 5 small patio tables with chairs). But next time we go we will probably order and then head out the door since this seems to be a popular spot. There is no indoor seating or table service, so it's a nice casual spot with spectacular food. The folks working here were incredibly nice, too. Honestly I'm still dreaming of my pizza. Guess I'll have to head back sometime soon!
