Finally found our go to pizza place in Charlotte!! Got the vegetarian pizza and the white pizza, absolutely delicious, especially with their homemade ranch. Our server was so nice and gave us extra ranch to take home, 10/10. Will 100% be coming back!!

What's pizza without a side of ranch?

Came to visit this place for the first time with friends for NYE and the pizza was amazing! I appreciate the parking lot on the side of the building, because Montford parking can be crowded sometimes. There's not a ton of light but it's definitely not sketchy. It was fairly quiet when we first arrived so we had a healthy choice of where to sit, but more people arrived shortly after and things picked up as the night carried on. It's your typical pizza bar with straight forward decor and a good number of TVs, so you can't go wrong with choosing a place to sit and catching a game. Our server (Janice) was super friendly and invited us to walk over to the bar to check out the beer options available (available in bottles/cans only) - she didn't want to mess up the available options; much appreciated. Once we got our drinks, Janice made sure our closest tv was showing something we wanted to watch and promptly took our order. I tried the Picnic Pizza (fried chicken, peppers, tomatoes with added mushrooms) and it was fresh and cheesy. I surprised myself with how full I was after a couple of slices. The pizza was flavorful and I'm glad I was able to give this place a try. I'm already planning to head back to try another one of their specialty pizzas. Go check them out.

The food is pretty good if you need something quick or some lunch the pizza is my go to. The pasta i wouldn't try its very soggy and not flavorful at all. I've tried the garlic bread and it's good as well

Cool pizza box wall lol

So, we dropped by Carmellas for pizza on a Saturday. This was my first time here, even though I've heard about it plenty. Fun fact: I love a good dive bar and MAN Carmellas was a great one. The bartender, who I am sad I didn't get his name, was a blessed man with a VERY heavy pour. I ordered a bourbon on the rocks and he poured half the bottle in my cup. A man after my own heart I tell ya ...LOL. I will be back, if for nothing else, than his gracious pours. We had so much fun here though. We were a group of about 8 and our bartender friend was 1 of 2 staffers and he held it down! I ordered a slice of plain cheese pizza and it was actually amazing for being just cheese. Super flavorful!! Inside was cool, very much a bar vibe. Great spot to come drink and watch sports. This is in Montford area so parking is iffy, but I found a street spot and walked over just fine. Can't wait to go back!

Where's the sauce, man?

"Give credit where it's due," was a maxim my parents taught me. My unimpressive visit to Carmella's was a few years back, so I was hesitant at giving them another whirl. Alas, I ordered an 18" pie with pepperoni, and presto!, via Door Dash had it sitting snugly on my counter. On time. To order. Hot. Mmmm. The pizza was delicious with a proper amount of red sauce, spicy pepperoni with a drop of goodness cupped slightly in each one, and an acceptable crust (no one gets it crusty enough for this NY'er). Overall, excellent. Feeling like only a hot slice of pizza can brighten your day? I say "Give 'em a whirl." It will put a smile in your belly.

One very tomato sauce less  pizza.       Friends bragged     he lefts apologizing for the slack service and so so good

Way way awful dry ass Pizza no tomato sauce lots of onions a little bit of bacon crust was like shoe leather I don't know how it survives

Photos of half cheese half pepperoni pizza pie  Extreme slice size difference

So first time there... ordered wings with fries super good then other person ordered chicken fingers and fries... we had packets of ketchup and asked for more and they said we already had mustard sauce so we had to insist upon getting more ketchup. Then we asked for 1/2 cheese 1/2 pepperoni... pizza came out with tiny slices of cheese and large slices of pepperoni and they had a discussion about that as well then said you probably won't eat that much line just not what we wanted to hear over meals we were paying for. Had to walk up to to go spot for to go pans... By the time I was wrapping food up bartender came and said did you need to go boxes as if he didn't see me packaging stuff up. Then we had to go to bar and ask for refills.. a lot of work on our part and not worth it Smh Not going back

The thing that redeemed this from being a one-star review was that the pizza and cheesy garlic bread wasn't bad. I ordered (to-go) a supreme pizza and asked that olives be left off one half. Instead, the one half that was supposed to be olive-less had NO toppings. So we were given a one-half supreme and one-half plain cheese pizza. The cheese from the garlic bread stuck to the top of the box when opened. Would have also appreciated some mask wearing by the cashier.

Destroyed the pizza before I could snap a photo.

I'm new to Charlotte and haven't had the opportunity to explore much with the current situation. I received a coupon for being a new resident to try a large cheese pizza at Carmellas. I was a bit skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. Obviously I cannot dine-in at the moment but the place looks like a fun dive bar on the inside. As for the pizza itself, I was pleasantly surprised. The pizza was thin and flaky and overall very good. I'd definitely recommend this place and will be back again to try different menu options. I apologize for the picture of the pizza box, I ended up destroying the pizza before I could capture a good photo A good sign of a good pizza.

Cheese slice

This is a neighborhood type Italian sports bar/pizza place. They have some affordable lunch specials - two slices and a drink for $4.95 or a slice and salad and a drink for $5.95. I would say the pizza is below average compared to NYC standards, especially since they tout its a NYC slice. The sauce was ok but the crust was a little too thick and not crispy. I only tagged along with coworkers, probably will not make a trip out here by myself.

Dank pizza and ranch

They've been here 2.5 years and from my first experience , they are absolutely crushing it. Dim lighting, beautiful bar design in a smaller space, and 90's-2000's hip hop was the perfect mix for a chill Friday night. Niaget took care of us at the bar (please forgive me if I got the spelling wrong!) and she is clearly a well trained mixologist. Cocktail menu is unique and the ingredients might seem a little far out, but trust the process. The drink pictured below was a bourbon-based (Old Forrester) custom cocktail that Niaget threw together. Hints of pineapple & mint mixed with my favorite brand bourbon made this an honest treat. I will be tossing this cocktail bar onto my favorites list and can't wait to go back.

I went on a Friday night , was supposed to meet a friend there but got stood up. Life happens…read more I still had a good time, i had à tequila drink at the bar & Watched the boyz/gurlz tear it up on the dance floor. The space was spacious, crowd was varied & mostly black which I enjoyed. Music was pretty good for NC , overall a good time. I may or may not have gone home with someone .

I patronized this bar regularly for quite some time, tipped well, treated the staff respectfully,…read moreand even developed a rapport with the staff. Eventually, however, I realized that this is the kind of establishment where apparently discussing patrons behind their backs is part of the atmosphere. That realization was particularly amusing considering some of the operational practices I observed. Let's start with privacy. Patrons are required to scan their driver's licenses upon entry. I became extremely uncomfortable after observing that the device containing that information being accessed in the presence of other patrons and used to look people up. A driver's license contains personally identifying information. Customers should be able to provide identification without random folks viewing PII. Then there is the practice of physically holding customers' credit cards behind the bar. Between collecting an ID containing personal information and retaining a physical payment card containing additional identifying and financial information, I would strongly encourage ownership to examine its privacy and information-handling practices. At minimum, customers deserve to know exactly who can access their information, why, and how it is protected. The sanitation practices I personally observed were jaw dropping also. I watched bartenders go outside to smoke, do a10 second hand wash and then return to handling drinks, garnishes, straws with no covering, and bar equipment. OOF! If you're going to operate a beverage establishment with pickled sausages, eggs and Oof! Basic hand hygiene shouldn't be an aspirational standard. And then there is the husky bartender who gossips and likes to fight. Is the owner not concerned about liability?! Smh... A dive bar can be inexpensive, unpretentious, rough around the edges, and still be professionally operated. "Dive bar" does not have to mean questionable privacy practices, questionable hygiene, interpersonal drama, and employees gossiping about the people paying their bills. Before scrutinizing the clientele, perhaps scrutinize the operation. I won't be returning. There are too many establishments where I can buy a drink without wondering whether my personal information or my personal life is also being passed around the bar. Lowbrow isn't an aesthetic here. It's the operating model

There's a plethora of seating including a few intimate reserved areas for special occasions. I also appreciate the open patio which has its own unique vibe. I just tried the HH bites. I ordered the Jerk Chicken Eggrolls. They were bland and had absolutely no flavor or seasoning. I was very disappointed but hungry. Another party also ordered all 3 eggrolls but they were burned and had hair in them. She sent them back and her claim was disputed by both the manager and bartender. The fact that the burned Eggrolls were not replaced without a triple check shocked me. I was flabbergasted. Based on that interaction she proclaimed she wouldn't return nor would I. I was disappointed in that interaction. I was going to order the lamb and pasta but decided against it.
