| - I've been eating pizza in South Charlotte since the mid 80's, my credentials are legit. Every kids birthday and post soccer game win or loose was spent somewhere running with pizza in hand and playing Contra. Now 34, I left Fuel Pizza on Tuesday evening feeling bamboozled since they had the Showbiz pizza, but no arcade. If you've ever stumbled into Fuel downtown and murdered a slice or two, its amazing. Thin large cut slices, fresh ingredients, friends, its late night, your starving, fatty foods......awesome. Fast forward to Tuesday 6pm sober and its thick small cheeseless slices that are overpriced. I give the Park Rd location a shot every year or two, and both the take out delivery just continue to fail. I don't know if this is B crew on staff, or where Fuel trains noobs, but the pizza is always bogus. I got a $20 large that looked like a $10 medium, the inner diameter of 6 inches was without cheese, and the first bite of every slice was just sauce. It was a bastard pie too, not thin, not thick, almost a Pizza Hut hand tossed step child. The ingredients, they stand out and are very good. The thin cut sausage is on point, the veggies are sliced right, large, but no too heavy chunks that just fall off or don't cook. The sauce, is good. In the end, its not a win for the Fuel Team, its a fail. I've loved Fuel at various times throughout my life, hence why its sad to see this location blow so hard. With so many options competing close by, NY Pizza, Portofino's, Wolfman, Brix, Mellow Mushroom, and the delivery boys, you cant serve overpriced subpar slices in this part of town. Best of luck boys, see you next year......or 3 am on random night soon.
