Had no idea about this place until my wife suggested grabbing lunch. Nice little dining area and we were greeted when we walked in. Ordered a side Caesar, cheese bread, two slices of the hornet, and one slice of cheese. Everything was FIRE. Caesar plate was cold with cold crunchy lettuce. Cheese bread was hot and delicious. Pizza was crispy with a ton of flavor. 10/10 no notes. Also, the staff was so nice! We had our 11 week old with us sleeping in his stroller and everyone was being intentionally quiet to keep him sleeping. Bunch of gems in there. Can't wait to come back to try more pizza and the pasta!

Customer service was prompt and friendly, called in my order for pick in which I was near and only waited 10 mins for my pizza at the most!! The ambiance is very intimate, perfect for a date night. Large crowds will be cramped. I hope you enjoy them much as I did! I can't wait to return!

They had like a variety of about a dozen pies to select slices from or order off the menu. There are no little signs to tell you what each is which could be done to improve and less questions about what someone wants. Here's the trick about the menu - need to pull it up on the phone or grab a leaflet. There's no board to understand the toppings. They are still learning how to setup the fountain drinks so opt for a beverage from the cooler. The Coke 0 and Diet Coke had syrup issues. They were busy so no one was cleaning the dining room. There were multiple tables w/cups w/used cups and food remnants. Like everywhere suffering from a lack of staffing. We will be back. Solid freshman visit.

He & the Fam typically order 'to go' or 'door dash' but we decided to check it out as a change-up. We got there about 645p on Wednesday and the parking lot was 'JAMMED'. The other notable stops in this small strip center are Lore Brewing and Master O's Martial Arts so I was kinda surprised. We were not aware they were doing their Wednesday Music Bingo night which started at 7p but it was fun and entertaining and paired well with our pizza and beverages. They do multiple rounds and start by awarding Empire gift cards for $10, then $20, then $25.00 and then the round that everyone waits around for. The MAIN attraction final round, the winner will win $250.00 CASH. You guess just the name of the song and fill ALL 50 squares. Ben had the Popeye pizza and I had the Chef Salad. We both agreed the food is good and reasonable priced. Good service for being as busy as it was. Every member of the Staff was hustling all evening. IF you go on Wednesday evening, be prepared, the parking LOT is packed. People were cruising the lot hoping to find a spot as someone was leaving. The closer you get to 7p, the harder it is to get a table. Life in the post COVID world feels like we're getting closer to fine.

Not only is their calamari phenomenal- they marinara they serve it with is FRESH, garlicky, and delicious. I always try and save a little extra to dip my bread in.

Not only was our server friendly, the kitchen was quick, and everything came out perfect. The vibes are casual, but you could also dress up if you wanted.

Good server, Aryanna, will never gain weight as she is constantly moving and sincerely tending to the needs of her multiple tables taking care of things with her genuine desire to make your experience special. Thank you Aryanna. I had Shrimp Scampi ($19.70) on linguini pasta (you can choose your pasta) and a small salad with house dressing. All one price. It was excellent...no need to "get a box". Wife had Tortellini Alfredo ($18.95) with Italian dressing on her side salad, and she did need a box, as the portion could easily feed two people. We two had the left-overs for lunch the next day. No extra charge for the fresh baked, warm, basket of rolls or a clean, well-served, table. They do have a separate pizza business that punches out some really good pies. Can order by phone and pick up to take home, or sit, order and eat inside. Plenty of parking as Portofino's is in a shopping center.

So sad that my expectations are so low at this point and they still can't meet a one star expectation! I should've just a box of macaroni and cheese and stuck with that.

I can confirm, the pizza is legit. I ordered two slices because of a video the owner posted regarding how to properly judge a slice. The pizza was incredible. Crispy flavorful and very reminiscent of a New York slice. I was happy. What is upsetting is knowing that this spot has been here for years, and this is my first time there. I'm disappointed myself. If you want a great slice of pizza, this is my new number one spot in Charlotte. The owner is actually on site, cooking, cleaning, serving, and ringing customers up. How can you not respect that?

Sadly, the grocery stores with Pizza bars have better pizza which is sad. Why don't they add enough cheese?
