| - I had a pizza and it really wasn't bad. The crust was unique, though not the best I've ever had. I had no complaints about the quality of the toppings. In general, one of the better pizzas I've had in Charlotte. It's a pretty big, nice looking restaurant in a pretty neat area. Parking, no problem. Especially because the restaurant was totally empty when I showed up on a Sunday night.
Seriously, no one there. I'm still not precisely sure where the staff (I doubt there were more than three) were parked.
Not that I care how many people are eating there when I'm the patron, and especially not when I'm getting take out, but I do have to wonder: can this place survive?
This brings me to my final point: This review may have been a little more positive if not for the completely bizarre hours Rudino's is open. Friday and Saturday until 10 PM is kind of early for a pizza place, but I acknowledge that Charlotte sucks. Sunday until 8 PM, that's a bit restrictive for a restaurant. But the really funny part? Monday through Thursday until... 4 PM.
4 PM. For a restaurant. A pizza restaurant. Why not 3 PM? Or 2 PM? Is the lunch crowd really coming in at 4 PM still? Way too early for dinner, too late for lunch. What the hell?
Charlotte sucks, but does it really suck "close at 4 PM" badly? I'd love to give Rudino's a second try for dinner, but with hours like that, when will I have the chance?
