If you like thin crust pizza and personalized attention then this one might be for you.
This new entry to the Charlotte pizza scene is a located at the Metropolitan sandwiched between national chains. Parking is available in front and plentiful in the Metropolitan.
The interior of the restaurant is calm and welcoming, lots of whites and earth tones combined with clean lines. Contemporary music plays over the stereo. The majority of the seating consists of sit down tables with a limited amount of counter spots allowing for a peek into the kitchen with its traditional pizza oven. Very suitable for a casual business lunch and casual date night where eating quickly is of importance.
Lunch time on a weekend seems to attract a relaxed crowd, two families were present during our visit.
The abruzzo pizza was very pleasant. A thin and light crust was able to withstand the weight of the homemade meat balls, mushroom, garlic and cheese toppings quite nicely. The ingredients are of high quality resulting in a very nice pizza eating experience.
Just as a side note, the owner encourage less toppings.
The staff was pleasant and attentive. The owner stopped by a couple of times to see how we are doing.
The pizza menu is extensive, split between traditional pizza and bianco (pizza without sauce) but not overwhelming. Also on the offer are salads and soups but pizza is their strong suit.
