| - I was visiting Charlotte from Durham and my wife was craving NY pizza, so we came here expecting "amazing NY pizza" and "the best pizza in Charlotte". We each ordered a plain slice, our litmus test for pizza, and shared a Greek salad and a chicken parm hero. The slices were underwhelming. The sauce is bland and the cheese tastes like it's stale or something. Maybe everyone is REALLY tired of Pizza Hut around here, maybe a lot of people come here totally blunted? I don't know, but if you're from Brooklyn... did you live there or move down here as an infant and never try real NY pizza?
"The best Greek salad" was iceberg lettuce with a few slices of red onion, some tomato and cucumbers and dry crappy feta crumbles. The dressing was pretty good, but I assume when someone says something is the best, that they've tried other Greek salads?
The chicken parm: the cutlets were pretty good, but a single layer of thin cutlets on bread with bland sauce and crappy cheese made us both just eat the cutlets plain. They really should have more chicken on there.
Still wanting something that satisfied us, we ordered the Margherita slice, as the friendly kid at the counter had recommended it. It was solid. Far better than anything we had had, but still, nothing spectacular.
I gave up at this point, but my wife wanted SOMETHING that really tasted great and NY-y, so she tried the garlic knots. Her review: "Don't bother trying it."
The staff was all very friendly, however when I heard the owner was from LI, I said hi and that we were from LI and he muttered something and walked away. 2 minutes later he very rudely ordered a staffer to fill all the pepper shakers in such a way that my wife was shocked and said she would have quit. She also told me to report the women's room was disgusting. Piss-soaked toilet paper graciously adorned the toilet seat and the garbage was overflowing.
THE BEST!
