    Luisa's is one of my favorite pizza places in Charlotte and it is flowing with nostalgia. I don't know how long they have actually been open, but it really feels like an old school joint. It is located in a shopping center on Montford on the second floor. Waking inside it really feels like a 90s pizza joint and I mean that in the best way possible. They have a small bar located towards the front, and they offer a lunch buffet that is all you can eat. Their pizza is very cheesy which is a huge plus for me, I hate when places skimp on the cheese. If you aren't in the mood for pizza they have some delicious subs, traditional Italian dishes, and some great sides as well. It is my understand that they have a new owner who has taken over, and I am not sure if the owner intends to keep things the same or bring in a new concept, but I certainly hope Luisa's is here to stay.

    Luisa's Brick Oven Pizza Restaurant Review Tonight's visit to Luisa's Brick Oven Pizza was a bit of a disappointment. Whenever I try an Italian restaurant for the first time, I judge them based on a few key dishes: their red sauce, meatballs, lasagna, and eggplant parmigiana if they are available. Unfortunately, most of what I ordered did not impress. Walking in on a Monday night at 7 PM, I found the dining room nearly empty, with only two other couples dining in. That should have been my first clue. The menu was also missing a staple. No Caesar salad in sight. I thought all Italian restaurants served one, but not here. Instead, they offer a garden salad that reminded me of that one Family Guy episode where the restaurant is assembling a salad for take out. See video here: https://youtu.be/JgJUbmGDc6k The waitress was very friendly but did not seem to have much knowledge of the menu outside of the pizza selection. I started with the meatballs, which come as eight small one-ounce balls covered in red sauce and mozzarella cheese. They were just okay. I was told they are made in-house, but they had that unmistakable freezer taste that made me question it. Then came the eggplant parmigiana, which was the biggest letdown. I had seen Google Maps photos online that looked promising, but what I was served was completely different. Instead of the thin lengthwise slices I prefer, I was served 4 thick, round single slices that were greasier than a funnel cake at a county fair. It was served over a hefty portion of overcooked angel hair pasta, which did not help matters. On a brighter note, I did enjoy their red sauce. It leans sweeter and is less acidic, which I like. Their garlic bread was also solid. It was served warm, more of a flatbread style, and pretty tasty. I ordered the meat lasagna to go, but there was nothing spectacular about it from the tasting I had. Just average. The one surprise? They have good sweet tea. I do plan on coming back to try their pizza as that seems to be their strength. Maybe I will have better luck next time. But as for the other Italian dishes, I will pass.

    Lovely. Pizza was good, ordered onions on it and there were plenty! Service quick, ambiance chill. No touchtunes unfortunately :(

    Haven't been here in years. Was craving pizza today & drove to that side of town to scoop a pie & see if it was as good as I remembered. It was! Pizza has been great for years, I normally just order pickup.

    Luisa isn't some sexy pizza joint with any shtick. They make some delicious pizza on the second floor of this shopping complex in Montford. I was honestly shocked as I looked down and saw the whole pie was gone. Their house pie's were a bit odd in my opinion, so I decided to make my own. Our server gave us a great experience with how quickly everything came out. A great experience for sure! Can't wait till we meet again Luisa!

    The cheese sticks were hot and fresh with extra seasoning not my favorite but good. The pizza was good and we substituted sun-dried tomatoes for regular tomatoes, but it still needed a pop of flavor. It seemed a little plain?

    I stumbled upon Luisa's by mere chance. We had plans to go to another restaurant and it was packed. We had to pivot and spotted Luisa's that is situated off of Montford in a shopping centre on the second level. Boy am I happy we found it. It was refreshing to see that they did have a brick oven and that the pizza would have that brick oven taste. Sat down and ordered a muffuletta pizza that is inspired by the New Orleans sandwich. The pie packed a flavour punch and had a crispy crust. We also ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich with fries. The sandwich was incredible and flavourful and the bread was fluffy, however the fries were bland and didn't have any seasoning at all. Also, the food portions are generous and will need a box to take lunch for the next day.One thing I noticed is that the restaurant felt super outdated but the food compensated for it and the server was great too.

    Was in the mood for beer and pizza tonight and Luisa's did not disappoint. Service was great and sat at a little bar "taproom" and ate dinner. Service was perfect and could not do any better.

    We were looking for a place to eat before skipping town that could accommodate a small group (6…read moreadults and a baby) and a dog. We went across the street and they didn't allow dogs on the patio so a quick Yelp search led us to Jack Beagles. With a dog in the name, I figured it would be dog friendly and I was right... it's event dog friendly inside which was great since we had the baby and it was hot out. They were happy to seat us in the dining room and since breakfast was about to end and lunch was about to start, we had the option of both. Some ordered breakfast and a few of us order the tenders because our server said it was one of the most popular items. I don't normally go for tenders at a new place, but they had garlic parm which drew me in. They were pretty great and served with waffle fries. My buddy got this massive burger that I was eyeing as well and I had a little bit of food envy when it came out. It was called The Big Bear and was sporting 2 Patties, 2 X Bacon, 2 x White American Cheese, Pickled Jalapeno, and Chipotle Aioli. I would definitely try that next time. Only odd thing was that when the burger came out, my buddy asked for a knife other than a butter knife to cut it since it was so big. Instead of offering to bring it to the kitchen to cut it, she came out from the back to say they don't have any steak knives and the only sharp ones are with the cook. No big deal, but a little odd. Anyway, we had a great lunch before hitting the road that accommodated all of our needs.

Just go to Noda and they will take care of you, actually speak and provide efficient service!

You get a choice of sides, and we tried the Mexican street corn salad and the Mac and cheese. I wasn't a huge fan of the corn salad. It was served cold, but I wasn't really a fan of the taste. The Mac and cheese looked creamy and gooey and was told it was really good. Next time I will order a different side. The atmosphere here is bright and lively with a nice view of the water where you can take paddle boat rides. People love to walk over here, so it is nice to have an open view. The restaurant has a tiki bar vibe and has surfing theme throughout the place. Really fun and relaxing. This is a great stop if you are in the area, expect to circle the lot a bit on the weekends, but the food and atmosphere are great here. We will definitely return to Boardwalk Billy's.

The waffle was a little dry and the chicken was average. The veggie omelet was excellent and I enjoyed the fillings. I'm not a potato fan, but my friend enjoyed the potatoes. The biscuit was standard too but complemented the veggie omelet well. I'd say the star of the show were the fried French toast sticks- they were hot, sweet, and hit the spot perfectly.
