Real pizza in Charlotte stinks. Just an inarguable fact. There are some decent spots that have specialty pizza, like pure pizza, but NY style pizza is a mess. Desano is good, though. They have wood fired pizza that is really good. There are some decent toppings options like meatballs, fresh mozzarella and pepperoni. Their calzones are also really good.
The only downside is the price is on the higher end for pizza, so the value may not be the greatest, but if you are looking for some above average pizza is Charlotte, Desano won't let you down.
