Really solid bar! Parking can be a little tough on Montford, but not impossible. Really solid pizza and bar food to boot. Note: It is an Ole Miss bar so on Saturday's in the fall it can get quite packed, but if you're ok with that then it's a great place to be! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Carmellas Pizza Grill - What's pizza without a side of ranch? - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Be careful getting to go food. They will give you extremely old food. I'm so angry. Waste of my money. This is the third time. I was thinking maybe it's just the cook. No, they just don't care if it's ToGo. Please check your food before you leave. read more

Decent pizza for the size and the price. A bit doughy with a pretty thick crust, but the actual pizza part with the toppings was thin and New York style. Definitely get a side of ranch! read more

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 read more

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! read more

"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. read more

Great slices, love the deviled eggs too! Always a good spot to spend an afternoon and play some Keno. Beverages are super reasonably priced and the menu has a ton of delicious stuff. Would recommend if you're looking for a casual sports bar with quality food and properly priced drinks. read more

Honestly just came here for a drink and got exactly what we came for. cant complain lol

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 read more

I doordash Carmellas probably once a month on average. Their Italian dishes are very tasty and savory, especially the baked spaghetti and chicken parm! The garlic bread appetizer is also very good! Not as impressed with the non-italian options such as the buffalo chicken sandwich. But overall a good restaurant read more

Disappointing experience. Order placed in their online platform. Arrived for pickup, and apparently the order was not received. After giving the receipt, they attempted to make the order but didn't take time read the order and provide the right food. 3 items incorrect and after calling to attempt to get the order corrected 5 mins after arriving home, they did not answer. Let the phone ring for 5 consecutive minutes, still no answer. Not a great experience. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Horrible pizza brunt looks like the scrapped the bottom and put it in the box. 9.00 for five mozzarella sticks! Only giving it a one cause there was nothing lower! read more

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. read more

The bartenter Kelly is terrible. Carmella's became the place for a lot of local, loyal Charlotteans. They are finding elsewhere because they are ignored while he entertains himself. The food, atmosphere, and drink specials bring people in. He runs them off. read more

Let me preface this by saying that my experience was Sunday afternoon 12/4 during the 4-5pm hour. Our table's problem was with a bartender named Ross. My experience was so bad that I emailed the owner (email address that I got on the company website) the next day on Monday saying that I would like to speak to someone regarding my experience, please feel free to contact me so I can avoid leaving a public Yelp or Google review. I have not heard back in over a week. As much as I would like to share the details of my experience to warn future guests- I will just keep this simple. I have never experienced a more arrogant, rude and unfit person in the service industry since i have lived in Charlotte. I have enjoyed this place over the years for their pizza, drink specials, and cozy "dive bar" feel. I will never return.. Pictures are worth a thousand words... here is your gracious bartender Ross. read more

I lived in Charlotte for over 20 years. Now I'm here for work occasionally and I'm so glad I listened to a friend. The pizza here is awesome. I ordered a small, 14 inch veggie pizza and a salad. Fresh veggies covered the pizza. Bright and tasty. The salad, just an add on at first but really added to the order. Again, fresh and crispy. Not a big deal usually but even the Ranch dressing was awesome. I'll be back. Nice surprise. read more

I feel like I have probably been unfair to Carmellas in the past because I was sad to no longer have Maverick Rock Taco (RIP). While I initially felt fatigued that another pizza place was opening in an area that seemed to have enough I realize now that there is a lot more to enjoy here than just pizza. For starters they have a great bar atmosphere with prime beer specials. Plenty of TVs makes it a great place to catch a game while chowing down on a slice. The fact that they serve pizza late night makes it a perfect place to finish off a night on montford drive. Don't make the mistake I did by thinking they are only a pizza place their menu has a lot to choose from. I have heard nothing but good things about their wings and the last time I was in I elected to go with a chicken parm sub and it was just what I needed! There is a lot left for me to explore here and I certainly plan on stopping in next time I find myself in the area needing a casual bite. read more

Terrible service! Waited at the front for help and the staff looked me in the eye and walked away to help others. Tried to get his attention again at the bar and he just kept ignoring me. I don't recommend trying this spot. read more

I would like to add came in to give another chance and they dont seem to adhere to any mask requirements. From the bartender (John) in the grey hat standing at the table who never had one even around his chin to the kitchen staff to the lady who came around to clean the tables. I dont want to wear a mask either but what makes this place better than any of the others??? read more

Never going there again worst service possible, food was great that's the only thing I'll say that was good, didn't get any refills on drinks, and then went to go pay the bartender couldn't even bother to split the check, eventually he did split because I said said he had to because that's your job, he was not busy he was just to arrogant to give a flying crap:( the front lady was very nice but never again.! read more

Great filling specialty pizzas. Very social, open space and sweet staff. Good for a stop on a bar hop.

Absolutely the worst service I've encountered. The bartender was obviously not in the correct state of mind to be working. We ordered drinks and he forgot them. The food we ordered was bland and my girlfriends wasn't correct. The Alfredo was more soupy than thick. The rolls were hard as rocks. We had to let the server/bartender know our food was ready on the counter but eventually just grabbed it ourselves. The atmosphere was also not what I experienced in other Carmella's locations. The place was empty even though there was a local football game on the tv where every other place on the street was packed. A gentleman at the table next to us also chastised my girlfriend while we were talking about our frustrations with the staff and wanted know know "if I wanted to go outside". read more

The only reason I'm going is high is a three is because the food is always good. The pizza is excellent. The big problem with this place is the service. Whether I have sat at table or at the bar, the. service is always been very bad. At the bar, it is almost impossible to get a beer or a drink. Bartenders just talk to each other and rarely look to see who needs service. Then, when it comes to pay, they don't seem to wanna take your money. You pull your credit card out or cash and they will walk right by you and not even look your way. The best way to enjoy Carmela's is by takeout. read more

This place is normally packed but with the great specials they have I don't see why not. The food comes out fast and they have a lot of tvs to watch sports. The wings and pizza are definitely my go to. read more

I dropped in at the Montford Drive location to try out the pizza. I got two slices and a Coke. One Pepperoni and one Italian Sausage. They were both thin crust and crispy. The pizza is tasty and the atmosphere is of a family style restaurant that you can go watch a game at and get a beer if you want. They offer Keno and there are a few arcade games available as well. The staff is friendly and it's a nice neighborhood pub. read more

LOVE Carmella's!! Great food, great drink specials, AMAZING service!! Bar and kitchen staff are superior to most. Solid atmosphere as well. Highly recommend!! A+++ read more

This restaurant/bar has some of the best food/drink specials on Montford. I have only been on Tuesdays, when their pepperoni and cheese pizza slices are $1. You can't beat that! Also on Tuesdays, they sell about 3-4 selections of domestic bottled beers for $1. Not only is the pizza super cheap, but it's also very good. The pizza always comes out fresh and hot, and I have never waited more than 10min after placing an order. I would definitely suggest to get there as early as possible on Tuesdays, because the place can fill up quick! I usually get there around 6pm and can find a couple seats at the bar. Although it is packed with people, the service has consistently been good. If you don't want cheese or pepperoni, you can add a different topping for $.50 extra. For the quality and amount you pay, these pizzas are delicious! read more

Greasy, not very good cheese pizza! How disappointing!! We ordered a 14" Cheese pizza. Light sauce and extra cheese. It came so greasy that it completely soaked up several napkins. There was no redeeming anything about the pizza. The cheese, the sauce, the seasoning, the crust.. Only blah! I also had a hard sick in my pizza. I'm going to guess it was oregano. In my opinion, if you're going to buy cheep seasonings, at least grind it up first. You can sit outside, but you have to order it inside and bring it out yourself. They have some kind of rule that they are trying to bypass to allow you to sit outside with food and drink, but only if you bring it out yourself, or they do in a to-go-box. So strange!! Almost every other restaurant around them have outside seating and they bring it to you with no qualms. read more

Let me start by saying I did not personally order from here, but a friend of mine did and I recently got to eat some of the food at a fight party. I do not know much about this place and how the service operates but I can tell you the wings are PHENOMENAL. Highly recommend asking them to "run the wings through" and have the sauce on the side. GREAT hot sauce. Comes in pizza box which serves great. Will absolutely be ordering from here soon!!! read more

Know what you are getting into here. This ain't gourmet. Don't expect white table cloth service. Hell, I don't think I would order a take away pizza from this place. This is the late night, I need something to eat or soak up the alcohol before I go home and not break the bank kind of place. Now that your mind is in the right place, this little joint is actually pretty awesome! My wife and I popped in here around 8:30 on a Tuesday night to find the place packed. Considering the size of the place, I was impressed. Then I saw the special of $1 beer and $1 pizza. Is it PBR? Yes. Does it go well with a slice of pepperoni? Yes! In addition, due to the high number of slice orders, what we got was hot and seemed to be made recently. Ordering was easy and they came and found us on the outdoor rail. Now, don't be like me and make the rookie mistake of not getting ranch with your pizza. I won't be fooled next time. In addition to the Tuesday deal, they appeared to have a series of food and drink specials throughout the week. I hope this low key spot lasts longer than the 8 other concepts that have tried to make it in this spot. read more

Very big fan of the $1 pizza slice/ $1 beer Tuesday nights! Have started stopping by more often with coworkers, great place to sit and chat. Have also been expanding what I have tried on their menu; they also have a very good Stromboli. Great prices, great deals, great atmosphere! read more

Carmellas Pizza Grill - Daily specials! - Bars Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I came in tonight because I got a free 18 inch cheese pizza in my mailbox... sounded too good to be true. Only stipulation was I had to dine in. Idk what I was expecting but the pizza came out just like I like it! THIN AND GREASY. It was delicious. You could see the seasoning so it wasn't just cheese on crust. Because it was free, I also got a cherry cheesecake Togo so I could tip the server. It was also good. There was no crust which I didn't mind and the cherry was probably canned cherry pie filling but still good. The atmosphere was fun! You could tell it was a local hangout and the people were mostly regulars. I'll definitely be back. read more
