The only topping they had left was pepperoni, a fact the staff seemed quite delighted to relay. The staff was as unhelpful as they were unfriendly. The slice was so sparse it seemed like they low-key ran out of cheese too. I paid $15.08 for two big, bland slices and two drinks and didn't leave a tip. While I was there a kid, took his filthy sneaker off and put it on the food table. The staff (of course) did nothing but look at him and then back at us. I just hope that they didn't do anything gross to our food. The entire experience felt so very chintzy. The iced tea really wasn't bad at all, which is about the only positive thing I can say.

Godfathers Pizza

First, rating a dinning or carry-out experience is a subjective thing. What I don't like or find…read moreannoying you may love. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. Besides, I'm old enough to remember the days when restaurants offered quality food and a place to sit down and enjoy it with the family. I'm also old enough to remember the Godfather's Pizza of lore from the 70's and 80's, as I also remember the heyday of past greats like Domino's, Pizza Hut, and other franchise pizza greats. All that changed when big corporations bought out these companies and ruined their once great reputations by only caring about the bottom line and offering subpar products. Since I hadn't had a good 'ol Godfathers pizza since the early 80's, back when you could actually sit down in their restaurant, order a hand-tossed pizza, and enjoy a pitcher of ice cold beer, I decided to see what I've missed the last 45 years. I dropped in and ordered a large 1/2 and 1/2 - Classic Combo/All Meat with the butter crust. I was told 20 minutes and it was ready in 20 minutes, impressive! The pizza - I would rate it right up there with all the other mega franchise pizza companies, i.e., Marco's, Domino's, and right on down the line to the bottom of the barrel. The crust tasted like eating a chewy cardboard box with an off-taste like paper. Nothing about that machine preformed crust was enjoyable. I'm not a fan of these premade pizza crusts at all. Even though one side was the Classic Combo and the other All-Meat, you couldn't differentiate between the ingredients. EVEYTHING tasted the same, except for a very offensively strong tasting onion. Nothing taste or smells worse than pre-diced onion from a bag loaded with preservatives. I guess in a situation like this in a strip-mall pizza carry-out joint, you can only expect low-quality franchise supplied toppings anyway. The sauce was terribly sweet and overpowering, and WAY too much used. The cheese was the typical bagged cheese, probably loaded with the usual anti-caking ingredients to keep from sticking together and make it easier to use and handle at the store level. Did I mention the cheese had no flavor whatsoever? But there was plenty of it and covered all the toppings nicely. It looked good! Lastly, the cost. It's expensive. But since part of Godfather's reputation is using a lot of topping on their pizza's, you pay for that. Nothing is free. Better quality ingredients would greatly improve their pizza, but who can afford to pay $50 for a 12" to 14" carry-out pizza? All I can say is the folks that rave about this pizza are too young to have actually experienced the original Godfathers back in the day that offered a really good, high quality product that you could sit down in a restaurant and enjoy. Two stars instead of one for the fast turn time and plenty of toppings - even though it was flavorless. Sorry - I'll take a hard pass on this new 'Godfathers'.

I grew up on Godfathers Pizza, and was so pumped to hear they were coming back to CLT. I cruised…read moreover to the UNCC area and was surprised to see that this location was carry out only. It's a small waiting area and so I chose to place my order snd wait in my car. I felt bad for the associate there, the phone was ringing, people coming in and out with their orders and they were running the front of the "store" by themselves. The pizza was good, but not as amazing as it was in my younger years. I may try it again, if I am in the area but I probably wont make a special trip just for Godfathers Pizza.
