| - Pure Pizza marches to its own drum, and I mean that in the best way. I happened to be in town overnight and my BIL is currently living in Charlotte. He said PP is one of his favorites and so, we had dinner here.
First - I love the space. It's a converted 20's bungalow and I have much love for old spaces that are well used and preserved. There's a big takeout counter when you enter and a hidden (tiny) bar toward the rear - in front is a lovely patio. Apparently when it's "nice" (ahahaha it was like 65 out and I guess that is "cold" here) the patio is packed. Anyway - PP has a special every night and just my luck, Thursdays is "kids eat free" - hooray? Actually, it was fine because it seems like people in Charlotte actually parent, and don't let their kids run amok like at home.
Second - the food is really tasty. I ordered pizza because the place is called Pure PIZZA and not Pure Sandwich. You can get anything in a 10" which is the right size for one person or you can go buck wild and get a big pie to share. Mine was delicious - crisp, chewy crust, fresh sauce and just a bit of spice. Apparently there is honey to dip yo' crust in? Must be a local thing but we weren't offered it and I surely did not miss it as I ate every bite of that lovely, airy crust as it was - unadorned and beautiful.
Third - service is...well, it's something. Kind and welcoming for sure. Perhaps a tad...absentminded? I mean, they want you to be happy. Everyone is nice. They're just on a different time zone? Be patient. You might have to ask for a refill more than once, but come on - where else do you have to be?
Pure Pizza is delicious for sure. Come armed with time and a sense of humor and prepare for some good eats. Also, don't be parking in the VFW lot next door - you've been warned and they have a cannon.
