So this review is pretty much all about the Grandma's Pie but first off I will add that I've had several of their individual slices as well as the Chicken Parm Hero and a Calzone. All of which are decent but ultimately forgettable, unlike the Grandma's Pie. Customer Service can be spotty, I've been ignored completely at lunch time and walked out twice. But then the majority of the time I find the workers to be very friendly so it's a bit of a hit or miss head scratcher.
Now onto the Grandmas Pie...I like Margerita style pizzas but this is on a completely different level. The crust has a cracker like crisp to the outer layer but is slightly chewy inside which I love. You get the best of both worlds as far as I'm concerned as I love ALL types of pizza and crusts. The cheese gets melted right onto the dough and gets dollops of their very flavorful homemade sauce baked right onto the top. The basil leaves are normally very fresh and aromatic and for the grand finale, the freshly minced garlic puts an exclamation point onto this savory pizza pie, my favorite in Charlotte. The Grandmas Pie is every bit of 5 stars but overall I had to rate Lorenzo's at a 4 because I've yet to have anything else there that has left such an impression. Helpful tip for those who live more than 5 or 10 mins away...ask them to do a partial bake so you can finish it off at home in your own oven, nothing beats this pizza fresh out of the oven and they're happy to oblige.
