| - I don't know whats up with all the 5 star ratings on here, most likely friends and family of the owners (fake reviews).
Where to start.....Location is a nice spot, little strip mall in front of the new Sun Valley movie theaters. Upon entry the place feels more like an uptown Charlotte greasy spoon. There are literally like 6 tables in the place, generic counter, generic decorations, drop ceilings, awkward wall hiding the kitchen. Everything is so cramped.
There is no waitress, rather.. the high school girl at the register comes around to "wait" on you. Forget about timely drink refills.....despite you are 1 of 6 tables and literally 10 feet away from the register. No lemonade on fountain so its $1.25 per can (which is not mentioned unit the bill is totaled up). My girlfriend was brought a glass of ice for her can of lemonade (Minutemaid) but there was some sticky nugget of garlic bread or some sorta random morsel of food stuck on the inside rim of the glass. Eww....she used her straw in the can.
Got the fried cheese appetizer. They look like crab cakes but they are really bland patties of mozzarella-like cheese curds with a deep fried coating of breadcrumbs. The cheese was tasteless and the only taste the breadcrumbs had was of all the other foods cooked in the same deep fryer oil in the last few weeks. Come on...even McDonald's has clean tasting fry oil. The marinara sauce had the consistency of tomato soup and the color of Spaghettios sauce.
Got the pizza....boy we were hungry....and...well.....it sure looked good.....but after the first bite my GF and I looked at each other in silence. The crust is underproofed. They dont let it rise long enough and they don't use enough yeast....thus its doughy and bland just as reviewer "Doris P" mentioned. It literally tastes like a thick doughy UNSALTED Saltine cracker. The crust literally has no taste, needs yeast and needs more salt. The marinara....well.....already covered that. The pepperoni was average. The cheese on the pizza is cheap low moisture mozzarella which starts to harden the minute the pizza is not piping hot. Gross and chewy like bubblegum. No flavor in the cheese or the crust. So, for my $31.00 after tax I got a gross large pepperoni extra cheese pizza, greasy funky fried cheese that tasted like burnt Mrs Pauls fish sticks, 2 cans of lemonade, 1 fountain coke, and....probably was charged for the extra marinara's we tried to dip everything into. This is not a $31 dollar for two caliber dinner. I could have went to a real "sit down" restaurant and gotten out the door for $30-$40.
Save your money. Best pizza places in town are Portifinos at the Arboretum, Luisa's near Woodlawn Shopping Center, and Big Guys in Mint Hill (not by the slice though).
