PIE.ZAA

The food was DELICIOUS. The pizza was the perfect size and very affordable in the city. We received excellent service and we are so glad we chose this spot! We got the cheese lover’s pizza and the taste was wonderful. It was not very greasy, just a big ol slice of pizza New York style.

Erica with Offline - Super cute, casual spot. Pizza slice was large and reasonably priced. Service was cool. Cashier gave great insight into the menu and made thoughtful suggestions.

Really big slices. I thought I might be able to handle two but one filled me up! Pretty darn good. Id rate it a solid 8/10 for a New York slice! I'd suggest getting a cup of their tasty ranch!

PIE.ZAA is a place from Asheville that opened up their second location in Charlotte last year in Feb 2024. Was finally able to get over and check it out today after the knights game. Really cool vibe in there, with Bob Ross painting happy little trees on the TV and some nice window seats to enjoy your slice. Big slice was $6.75 for pepperoni. Of the big slice places in Charlotte (Benny’s, Protagonist, Tony’s and PIE.ZAA), I think this one is my favorite! Pizza was great and always love the little cup and crisp pepperoni! I bet this place gets insane with the after bar crowd.

Rachael with Offline - The staff was super nice! The pizza was quick and definitely worth it! The ambiance was quiet for a Monday but good to have my kids enjoy an urban pizza outing!

Hard to find late night pizza better than PIE.ZAA! When you’re in the mood for pizza at 12am it helps to have a top tier place open late. Not only were the slices huge, the taste was even better. Anytime I’m in the QC, I’m coming to grab a slice. Check this spot out.

I have been a dedicated patron of PIE.ZAA ever since they opened in Charlotte in February 2024. I may or may not have been lured in by the fact that their special that month was named after me (or at least, this is what I tell myself in my head). The employees are always welcoming and super nice, and I love seeing Bob Ross on the TV every time I go. I would commit a small misdemeanor (no, I wouldn’t, but that hyperbole is necessary because it’s just that good) for their ranch recipe. PIE.ZAA is a great place for any occasion — stopping in after a night out or stopping in after a night out to get take-out for your friends who couldn’t make it back out of the apartment. I love this place and sing its praises to everyone I know. Peace, love, and PIE.ZAA 🫶🏻

I have been searching for a quality pie since leaving NYC and upstate NY. now that I’ve found pie.Zaa, I know where to go to satisfy the craving. The pie had a good balance of cheese, toppings, and sauce and a great crust. The zip sauce added a nice kick. Will definitely be back and sending folks their way!

Delicious jumbo slice pizza. Came in for a late night bite around 12:30am and they were on their last few slices for the night. There was a crowd coming so it was great we came when we did. I'm not sure of the other menu items, but I did see some huge cookies. There are a few tables and bar style seating around. I liked the minimal decor and consistent branding.

One of my fav 'za spots in Clt and South End! Staff is always friendly and fun and the 'za always hits the spots. The slices are big (not Benny P's big, but close!) and the flavor combos are always fire! The special "pizza of the month" is always a treat and the ingredients are fresh! Decent selection of local brews too. Great late night option as well; love to sit facing the street and people watch!

I'll start by saying this was the best pizza I've ever had! I went in on a Saturday afternoon and of course, it was busy. I wouldn't expect anything different. We ordered and received our food about 10 minutes after. There are chairs to sit and eat inside as well. The pizza, amazing!! There was flavor in every bite. I got a cup of ranch and it tastes homemade. Another 10! This place is on my must stops list when I visit Charlotte!

I was excited to be in the area and see their monthly special. The peach, goat cheese, bacon, garlic combination sounded very enticing. I was the only one in the restaurant at the time. It was clean and inviting. I was assisted right away. The team member warmed up my pizza and served it with a smile. I was appalled when I got to my car and saw the pizza! It was burnt. The crust although tasty was hard to chew. My mouth actually was tired after trying to finish. I don't know if I'll return anytime soon.

Pie zaa was a pretty good slice for a pretty good price. The pizza box is a nice touch and the signage inside is quite entertaining. There was a line but it moved pretty fast. Our slice was huge and very very delicious. I would recommend and am looking forward to going back on my next trip.

Again, $10 huge slice with water. It's budget friendly and surprisingly good for Charlotte! Service is fast and seating is "sit, eat, leave hardwood."

I highly recommend! Who doesn't love a huge slice of pizza? Reasonably priced for a slice and unique toppings. This visit I enjoyed the veggie slice. Since it was a nice spring day, I was able to sit and enjoy the open view in the restaurant. This location is tucked nicely in the south end area and great to visit with friends or solo. I hope you enjoy a slice as much as I did!

$6-$7 a slice even at that size felt like a bit of a scam. The ingredients did not taste super fresh or high quality. The cheese was fine but the sauce was very bland. The crust was chewier than I like but that could be personal preference. I think it'd be better for that price point to have a normal sized slice with higher quality ingredients. Lastly, the box was cool but it felt gimmicky overall. 2.2/5

I've been to Italy ok. I know things. This is regualr/mid/basic, but it's not priced accordingly. So my issue with PIE.ZAA is layered, unlike their pizza. Location: This one is tricky, because the area is great but that specific location is a revolving door of former tenants. I'm not sure if it's the awkward placement of that particular street, or the street parking etc. Being in South End is a gift and a curse, you'll have endless foot traffic, but you also have to compete with numerous restaurants, bars and breweries. Customer service: Everyone seemed nice, it wasn't a stand out experience and it wasn't awful. I was greeted and not much else, my standards are very low since the pandemic so not being rude or ignored is enough for me. If you try to call the number listed, you get an automated AI bot and no one ever answers the phone. They will even force a link to your phone without permissions. Food: I ordered the quintessential slice to rule them all, a standard pepperoni. They are serving larger slices, and thats fine but thats where they stopped. The pizza is incredibly generic and dry, rather sauce less (I'll get back to that). I'd rather have a standard sized slice, that is incredible than something larger and forgettable. The crust is standard thin slice, with a decent amount of pepperonis to cover the pizza. The issue comes back to taste, it's generic. The pepperonis, as many as there are can't save basic cheese on bread. I think the dagger that really killed the experience for me was the price compared to the quality. My total pre tip was $7.22 for a plain jane pepperoni slice. So add in a tip of $1.00, and don't forget the marinara sauce you'll need for this dry triangle, $1.00 for a small cup of pizza sauce (ridiculous). To make this even more accurate while typing this review, I order a pepperoni slice online. The price is even higher ($7.99), so maybe I got a lunch special, I was never made aware of that by the staff. So the total if you wanted to order a single pepperoni slice online, and walk in right now is....$10.29 (with a 15% tip as standard on the site, remove it and you'll still at $10.00 before your sauce). Absolutely. Not. Current event: As I'm writing this JJ Red Hots is closing its doors. Go to any of the comments in Reddit/axios etc post and the sentiment is $9.00 hot dogs, or $16.00 combos are not sustainable . I don't root for businesses to close down, but I am indifferent about those who look at the current landscape and don't plan accordingly. The "business owner" is a bad representation, (or a good one since the product is also terrible ) for PIE.ZAA. The bitter mean spirited responses will be what people toast to, when this location is replaced with a donut brewery Mexican cantina. Unfortunately of course. Pro tip: SKIP! There are far too many eateries in the area to waste your time here. Maybe they'll revamp, I'd love to update this with a much more positive experience. They are also cashless, everyone doesn't abide by that way of living. It would be helpful for them to add it on their bio/about's on Google/Yelp.

I arrived here around 11:15pm on a Saturday night and it was packed!! I was going to place an online order but the wait time was longer. I realized that the online prices and in store prices are different.. I asked cashier why the prices are different if you order online and he didn't know. He said it was a question for the owner. Cashier told another person that he Ranch is houses made. I don't eat ranch, so I didn't try it. While waiting, I noticed that they make the pizzas and just reheat them to order. I got a slice of pepperoni pizza; it was large and tasty, especially since I was so hungry! It took about 20 minutes to get through the line and receive my order. For a late night snack, it did its job! They do have snacks such as cookies but they were pricey, in my opinion. They also sale canned beer/alcoholic drinks.

I love pizza, and especially pizza with large slices, so of course I come to pie.zaa! The menu is somewhat limited, but what it lacks in diversity it more than makes up for in deliciousness. The service is great and you get your order quickly, the ranch dipping sauce is really good too, definitely try it out if you like ranch on your pizza. The restaurant isn't huge but there's seating available. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying something new.

Super cute, casual spot. Pizza slice was large and reasonably priced. Service was cool. Cashier gave great insight into the menu and made thoughtful suggestions.

What it dough?! PIE.ZAA is great pizzeria located in the trendy Southend neighborhood of Charlotte! All of their pizzas are 28 inches, with 8 slices. But you can also get it by the slice! They have a variety of toppings and options that they use for their pre-made, delicious creations. They have great service and are attentive to what you're looking to choose from. Don't miss out on great pizzeria! Get to PIE.ZAA today and try their amazing creations! Pizza Slices Pictured: Cheese Slice Figeddaboutit Slice FOLLOW @JBEATZCLT for more great reviews!

Had a chance to have a huge slice from Pie Zaa today. I will begin by saying parking in south end is rough. I circled the block twice and finally had to pull into a pay lot. Same story for most businesses in south end. I ordered three different slices to get a full range of flavors. Slices came out quick and I was really impressed by the flavors. I thought the cheese slice was great. The crust was soft which is not my favorite. But the cheese and sauce were really good. The veggie slice and sausage slice both lacked in toppings for my taste, but again the taste in general were great. Would I recommend? Yes! Will I return? I would love to if it weren't such an inconvenience.

Pie.zza is a great place to go with friends. The Yelp event I attended had the place packed! Even with a full house the line went quick with minimal wait time and the slices came out hot! All employees were friendly and nice and helped with making choices about the menu options.

Wow! This place is going to be a huge hit in Southend. Our office ordered two large pizzas for lunch and it was enough to feed 10-15 people they were so big! It did take a while for the pizzas to be ready - we probably waited about 45 min after ordering. However, next time we'll just order online and pick up! The slices are also a great deal! Huge pieces for reasonable price. I wish they had side options but between the pizzas and the sauces you can't go wrong!

Fabulous place to eat downtown Charlotte. It's easy access from light rail with rotating specialty pizza on the menu based on the month.Other pizza options include vegetarian meat, lovers, pepperoni period lots of drink options.And if you want it to go, make sure you have a big enough car door to get the big box thru

Great atmosphere and customer service! The cashier was pleasant and helpful with recommendations. The interior was bright, clean and welcoming. I ordered the special which had chicken, ricotta and pasta on it. My mom had the garden slice. I thought it could have been more flavorful, hotter and crispier. Overall, it was a good experience and they have great marketing and customer service. It just wasn't for me.

I got the Not Your Mom's slice and it was filling, but thought it was just ok. It wasn't bursting with flavor or anything. I think the novelty of jumbo pizza slices is starting to wear off--I'd just rather have 2 smaller slices of different flavors.

This pizza will be in my dreams every night until I get the chance to eat it again. I came in with some friends late on Saturday, and it was pretty packed. Our slices came out pretty quickly and fresh and hot! I had the Not Your Mom's Slice - Kickin' Penne Vodka Sauce Base, Grilled Chicken, Fresh Mozz & Ricotta topped with Parsley - and ranch. Holy sh!t it was so good. The chunks of ricotta absolutely changed my life. And as a ranch connoisseur, they have GOOD ranch. There's a good amount of seating, and you can do takeout as well. The decor is super cute and very Instagrammable. I have to compare this place to Benny's, one of my all-time-favorite late-night pizza spots, and it definitely holds its own. I'll be back for sure any time I'm out in Southend!

Went to the one in Asheville so I was super excited to see this one was opening! Thank you to Offline for the half off deal!! Went on the last day right when they opened. It got busy pretty fast. We tried the Sweet Caroline, Sausage, and Pepperoni. All of them were really good! The Sweet Caroline wasn't really hot but it was still good and it was delicious warmed up in the air fryer the next day! I will definitely be back! Oh and you must try the zip sauce! So good! We cut our slices in half so we could try all the ones we wanted to try.

Grand Opening Slice! Rarely do I jump to 5 stars, but this slice was delicious. I got a Roni to go; the sauce is robust and flavourful. The crust was thin and crispy how I like it; very NY-ish. It has a buttery crisp to it like a smashed Croissant. There was cheese baked into the rim. I should have known that it was going to be good. Glad their open till 2 am!

Heard great things about this spot and lived up to the hype. Great pizza spot after the CLTFC game, fast service, incredible taste, and late night vibes. Cheap bill, but not cheap taste.

This was one of my first meals postpartum, as they delivered to the hospital in uptown. I am now obsessed. One slice is enough for most people, but they heat up really well if you want leftovers. I'm a big fan of the sausage and their ranch is some of the best I've had. Can't beat a good slice that folds and the topping don't fall off!

Pretty hyped up place, slice was good had good seasoning. Service was professional and located right in uptown which was cool. Slice was large along with the price

My condolences, for this review will make someone cry. The pizza slice I ordered spoke to me. It said "Biscuit, I'm ready. Ready to go home, ready to do what I was always meant to do. I have been waiting, sitting on this heater for 10 minutes, I was the last to go. My greasy pepperoni ached, my mushrooms pleaded, and my cheese cried every night. I was longing, as my home slices were taken from me. Peace by piece, the larger being that our consciousness collectively made up began to deteriorate. It was only me. Only I could stand it, any other slice would have fallen. They would have become soggy, flavorless, STALE. I am not like the others, I will not fall. I'm ready, biscuit, please take me in, and make me do what I was always meant to do." I was frozen, unlike the pizza. I obliged, giving him his one wish. It was the least I could do. I took a biter and God dang, that thing was amazing. Ambiance. 5 stars.

Ordered pizza delivered through Grubhub so this is a pizza review only. I will say the pizza was o. Time and best I could tell great service from that standpoint. We had a large pepperoni and a large 1/2 sausage and 1/2 cheese. Large is an understatement this is a 28 inch pie that was fantastic! Great crust lots of toppings. I will definitely order again when back in Charlotte!

A new entry into the giant pizza slices battle has emerged. Located in a bustling corner of the ever popular South End neighborhood, Pie.Zaa is a late night spot serving oversized slices to hungry likely inebriated partygoers. Like longtime Charlotte resident Benny Pennelo's and the newer spot Zambies, their slices require multiple plates just to hold one, and you likely will only need 1 to be full. As for the pizza itself, I felt it had a tasty sauce and plenty of cheese, but wish the crust and the bottom were a little firmer with less flop. One thing I will note however is that their ranch dipping sauce is amazing. Get a cup and dip some of your slice in, it is amazingly tasty. Overall this is a great spot to grab a late night meal to soak up all the beverages you've likely consumed up to that point. I haven't been at peak hours but I've heard the line can get long so keep that in mind!

Reaaaaalllly good pizza! Friendly staff and nice restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

I just love it here. Huge slices. Great taste. Definitely a must on a late night. I got the Buffalo Souljah and almost couldn't finish the whole slice but it was worth the stomachache. Flavorful and not too spicy. I did have to add pepper flakes and would have like more chicken but I'm not complaining, just saying.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon, they are busy yet, as I think most of their customers are night owls. The slice of pizza is huge, it takes over two plates!! The pepperoni was crispy and I love everything about it. The staff were friendly. Also I like that there are some space for people to sit and eat. I will be back for the whole pie next time.

A little birdie told me Pie Zaa was better than Benny's. That birdie doesn't have taste buds. The ambiance, vibes, and location are 10/10. The pizza honestly wasn't that good outside of the pepperoni. The cheese and sauce are blah at best and don't get me started on the crust. The employees were friendly and the food came out quick. I won't be having Pie Zaa unless alcohol is in my system. Benny's all day

The restaurant was really clean and the employees had really good customer service but the pizza wasn't the best. I do like the concept of the huge slices but I've had better tasting pizza, even from places with the same concept of the huge slices. I also like that this place stays open late.

Place is a little pricey but great pizza flavors, huge slice and late night hours make that worth it. It's got a clean urban look on the inside and nestled into the busiest side of South End neighborhood. Everyone's super nice despite the late hours and drunk folk.

Easily best pizza I've had in Charlotte. Perfect cheese to sauce ratio, dough was fluffy and had the perfect amount of crunch. Staff was super nice as well! Not on the level of a NYC slice, but incredible for Charlotte.

"There was not enough pizza!" said not a single person who's stepped foot inside this place. We chose the "go big AND go home" route and ordered a 28". Clearly, having little grasp on what 28" actually looks like IN REAL vs. Umm Instagram, we ordered Half Caroline and Half Roni. It JUST made it into the trunk of our SUV. Imagine it didn't? This was really poorly thought out on our end. So here it is; it's a show stopper, reminiscent of Benny's. I enjoyed my pepperoni slice, and the Sweet Caroline was decent, but maybe not quite the "wow" I wanted it to be. But all in all, the pizza was good, and our kids were very happy and very blown away by a pie larger than themselves. What's more, it's fun, open late, and with the tagline of "what it dough"...I'm not hating.

Omg!!! The food was great!! The best pizza in Charlotte and maybe down south. You could tell that owner was from NY. Not only did the pizza had great taste you could tell it was made with care and pride. The service was impeccable. The staff were very friendly and attentive and engaging. We received our pizza rather quickly. I just wish that the pizza was hotter upon receipt. The ambiance was a vibe. They were playing 2000's music and people were dancing and enjoying their time. I loved their catchy sayings on the walls and fridges. And I like how they stayed open pretty late through a walk up window. I would 1000% recommend. And I recommend they open a location in Gaithersburg, MD to be exact lol. I look forward to visiting again.

We have been to this place a few times when we are in the area. I usually get the veggie pizza and it never disappoints. My husband likes to get the specials and he seems to like them. The service has always been good and both the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean.

Absolutely would recommend. I love that the place is not too big but not too small but the wall seating and the open windows made this that much better. Great for people watching and even just sitting in the sun. Pizza was HUGE. could easily cut one slice in half and share. But the taste was 10/10. Guys moved fast in there and the order was out a lot sooner than expected. Would be back

The flavor was a letdown. Not on point. It was freezing when I was in there and the service was really lackluster. I don't get it. I guess it's all about the size.

Great location, love the hours, nice vibe inside too. The flavor of the sauce, cheese, & toppings was all good. Just could've cooked my pizza slice a bit more.

Awesome fun pizza spot in Charlotte with big slices for after a night out. Quick service and fun atmosphere with the loudspeaker "food ready" announcements. Great spot to try out if you're in the area. As a New Jersey native, I'd give it a Portnoy 6.4.

Visited this trendy pizza joint tonight for their big grand opening! The whole place is a vibe and I love that they stay open late! Yay late night food spot for Charlotte where that is kinda limited. We had to wait 30 mins for our pizza because I think they lost our order but the taste of my pizza gave them a pass for that! Omg! It was good! You can order by the slice or a whole pie. It wasn't greasy like some other pizza joints which I appreciate so much in my 30'! I got the Roni and the pizza of the month, sweet Caroline, similar to a margherita pizza both were so delicious!! & be sure to get the Za sauce and the ranch! Can't wait to drop in again soon!! Check out my opening night photos!!

This shits massive. Nuff said. Flavor fuego. Just opened. Finally a real fuckin pizza place.

One of my go to lunch stops. Fresh ingredients and who doesn't like a huge slice! The monthly speciality slices are def where it's at. The monthly slices are always fun, creative, and packed with flavor. Good music playing, Bob Ross painting away on the tv, and a friendly staff. Check it out if your in the area

Fire, fire, and fire!!! New York slice bigger than your face, literally. For 6 bucks, cant complain! Will come back.

PIE.ZAA! What it dough? Nestled in South End, this pizza shop is the brainchild of the ever-passionate Tyler, a visionary with a love for pizza and a commitment to sustainability and zero-food waste. But wait, there's more! Pie.Zaa isn't just a new resident to Charlotte; it also has a location in Asheville, bringing its mouthwatering creations to pizza lovers near and far. From the moment you step inside Pie.Zaa, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that's as welcoming as it is lively. Picture this: the TV playing episodes of Bob Ross joyfully painting happy trees. It's an ambiance that's both charming and cozy, adding an extra dash of personality to your dining experience. After all, who can resist the soothing presence of Bob Ross alongside their pizza? Parking in South End. Yes, it can be a bit of a hassle, but trust me when I say that the pizza awaiting you at Pie.Zaa make any parking woes worthwhile. Plus, the layout of the shop is thoughtfully designed to handle crowds, making it the perfect spot for those late-night pizza cravings or post-bar munchies. Seating options abound at Pie.Zaa, with counter seating inside and standing tables for those eager to dig into their slices. And speaking of slices, prepare to be amazed--Pie.Zaa offers up massive 14-inch slices alongside their colossal 28-inch pies, ensuring that no appetite goes unsatisfied. Let's talk about the real star of the show: the pizza. With five signature styles plus a rotating special, there's something to tantalize every taste bud at Pie.Zaa. On my visit, I opted for the classic "Cheese Please" slice, a steal at just $6. Fresh mozzarella and marinara perfectly melded together, creating a symphony of flavor with each bite. And don't even get me started on the house-made ranch--sure, it's an extra dollar, but trust me, it's worth every penny. Creamy, tangy, and utterly addictive, it's the perfect accompaniment to any slice. The most impressive aspect of Pie.Zaa's pizza? The crust is an absolute game-changer. With the ideal balance of crispiness and chewiness, it's a true testament to the skill and dedication of the chefs. And let's not forget about the fold--this crust is sturdy enough to withstand a hearty fold, yet there's no dreaded flop in sight. It's like a culinary masterpiece in every bite! And the cheese-to-sauce ratio? Absolutely spot-on, ensuring each bite is pure pizza perfection. So what's next on my agenda? Another visit to Pie.Zaa, of course! With a slogan like "what it dough?", how could I resist? Whether you're a Charlotte native or just passing through, be sure to stop by Pie.Zaa Pizza and experience the magic for yourself. Your taste buds will thank you later!

Best pizza in Charlotte!!! Absolutely huge slices and the whole pizza was the biggest I've ever seen...could barely get it through my front door the way they make the dough is magical because every single flavor is to die for. We come here on average once a week because it's that good. Stays open late too. 10000/10

Tried Pie.zza this evening and it was amazing! The slices are huge and the pizza was incredible! They usually have 1 rotating pizza which I decided to try the Miss Peaches and it was phenomenal! I didn't know peaches belonged on pizza but the flavors of this combination couldn't be beat! They also have your normal pizzas as well. The crust was great as well, it was the perfect thickness, crunch, and amount of bread! Also had some ranch with mine and it was so creamy and delicious, also recommend if you are a ranch with pizza kinda person. The service was great, the place has such a good vibe, and had a chance to meet the owner, super cool guy! They are open late which is also nice. Will definitely be back to try all the unique pizzas!
