Not gonna lie, this place was a vibe that I really loved. I sat outside on their patio. This was during the day maybe like 4pm on a Saturday and it was shockingly empty, but it quickly got busy there. I think we had just missed the crowd. Their patio is so fun, the street you overlook is pretty chill so there weren't a lot of cars or noise. The area has good enough traffic for decent people watching, that's always fun. Our server was so funny and cool. I wish I could remember his name, but he was having a good convo with the person I was with about basketball and it was just really nice. It felt like I was home on my couch hanging with friends. It's such a cool chill place. I loved the pizza, olives app and the old fashioned. It was nice to actually meet the owner too, he is the person who greeted us when we walked in and he was really nice. This place just seems like a good neighborhood spot. If I lived closer I'd probably go a lot more often. Great spot!! read more

Review for Pizza Baby After a relaxing Vinyasa yoga class and sound bath at The Coterie Wellness one evening, I found myself hungry--and conveniently, Pizza Baby had just opened in the same complex. Perfect timing. Since it was still new, the restaurant wasn't very busy, and I decided to grab a table outside. The outdoor seating was lovely--relaxed, comfortable, and a great way to unwind after a wellness session. I'm a sucker for thin-crust pizza, especially when it's hand-tossed and thoughtfully prepared, so one item immediately caught my eye: the rosemary pizza with hot honey. Sold. I added Italian sausage to the pizza and paired it with a fresh green salad (I can never resist a good Green Goddess dressing). Yes, it was a little on the pricey side, but the quality matched the cost--and I was genuinely pleased with my choices. The crust was thin and flavorful, the toppings were balanced, and the hot honey added just the right touch of sweetness and heat. This is definitely a place I'd return to--next time with friends--so we can share a few different pizzas and appetizers and really explore the menu. A few practical notes: * Parking is generally easy since the restaurant shares a lot with neighboring businesses in the complex * There are several nearby spots, including a wine bar and entertainment venues, which make the area feel lively * There was some early parking congestion when a nearby church held services, but the situation has since been addressed with signage and coordinated parking solutions It's nice to see businesses and community partners working together to make things run smoothly. There's also another location of Pizza Baby that I plan to visit, which speaks to how positive my first experience was. Bottom line: Great thin-crust pizza, pleasant outdoor seating, and a convenient stop after yoga or an evening out. A solid addition to Charlotte's growing food scene--and absolutely worth checking out. And if you're already in the area for a class or wellness session, it makes for the perfect post-workout reward. read more

Hey y'all! Can we tawlk... 5:55am and all I can think of is last night's dining experience. Yes, I just snuck downstairs to snag some leftovers So, I have a huge event planned at NJC Jay St 5/2 and decided to go check out the venue and parking sitch. It was around dinner time and we looked for some place, in the area, to eat. We decided on Pizza Baby . As usual, we sit at the bar and though they don't have a huge IPA selection, they did have a fav. Although the Blanco looked appealing, we are meat peeps and go for the Starsky. Notes: Be prepared to wait. I am usually a 30-min max, and then I'm out person, but the decor, vibe and music was so chill in here that I was just enjoying it (one couple even bought a deck of cards, as they were used to the wait). Also, Alia one-manning the bar and making each customer feel like the only customer was an added touch. Out comes the pizza... Alia asks if we wanted ranch dressing. This is where I looked at her 3 heads and asked "who eats ranch with pizza???" but since she said it is house made, I asked to taste it. Best decision I've ever made (sorry Blanton, but dating you was an afterthought...). This pizza was crispy where it needed crisp. It was cheesy, meaty and saucy in all the right places. I could not stop raving about the restaurant and Alia, so she decided to bring the owner, Steven out to meet us. What a darling! Humble, personable, charming and, all around, one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Wrap it up: If you plan to go here... go early, go hungry, be prepared to wait (bring a deck of cards), sit at the bar to stay engaged, get the 14" if it's just two of you (18" is huge), have a great time! This is the SHPOTT! read more

We did takeout from Pizza Baby in Charlotte, and the place was poppin' when we stopped in. You can tell it's popular for a reason. The pizza was really good. Even though we grabbed our order to go, the inside of the restaurant had a really nice vibe. It's a fun and lively spot to enjoy great company. Definitely a place I'd come back to, whether for takeout or to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Really enjoyed this spot! We popped in on a weeknight and it was easy to walk in. Also easy parking in the lot! The patio has a beautiful view of the city, and if it's a pleasant day, that's hands down the place to sit. There's also a bar area and a good amount of tables, some with booth seating, inside. They have a full bar which is great, and the kitchen is open so that you can see your pie being made. I wasn't familiar with the Roman pizza, but tried and it was delicious! One slice was more than enough for me. Our server was pretty quiet, though friendly and checked in on us. I'd definitely recommend this place!! read more

Easy, kid friendly pizza spot with good parking options! (As someone who is not native to Charlotte this is very important to me haha) Tried out the cheese pizza and a side Caesar salad. Both were very good and affordable. I also added a side of hot honey to dip my pizza in and it was perfect, not too hot! Service at 6 pm on a Saturday was quick and accommodating for our toddler. Brought us a high chair and kids water without even asking! Would definitely come back read more

Starsky Pizza (4/5): Loved the chewiness of the dough. Some char flavor would've really taken it to the next level. The soppressata was good but maybe a bit too tangy. It made the flavor profile of the pizza a little one-dimensional. I think some hot honey on the side would've helped a lot. I also wish there were more Calabrian peppers. Garlic Cheese Bread (4/5): Very good bread with plenty of cheese and the option to get as much sauce as you wanted. I liked that there were whole cloves of roasted garlic. Arugula Salad (3/5): VERY tart from the citrus but still a refreshing salad. It was lightly dressed and tasted very fresh. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

After a long flight back to Charlotte, my husband and I made a stop at Pizza Baby West. It was a much needed reward after braving the chaos of airport travel. We're already fans of Pizza Baby East, so we were excited to try this westside sibling, and it definitely delivered. We sat inside with the vibe being trendy yet relaxed, with a surprising view of uptown from the bar area that added a little city skyline magic to our date night. Our server greeted us with a smile, served our drinks quickly, and made us feel right at home. I sipped on a house red wine that hit the spot, while my husband went for a New York Sour - a bold choice and he gave it top marks. The menu also had way more variety than its Pizza Baby East location, which sparked a little indecisiveness (anyone else struggle when the options all sound amazing?). We decided to kick things off with the Joyce Farm Wings, split between honey sriracha and garlic parm. They leaned more grilled than fried - super flavorful, but maybe not for the crispy wing purists out there. For our main dish, we shared the Starsky 14" pizza, topped with tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, soppressata, oregano, and a bold Calabrian chili. Every bite was a flavor bomb, and the real MVP was that whole chili in the center. Biting off the end and drizzling the peppery oil over the slices felt like a chef's kiss to the whole experience. Plus, it looked so good on the table, I had to snap a quick photo - you know, for Yelp and the gram. We felt as though the prices matched the elevated pizza experience, as we know that Pizza Baby orders its ingredients from Italy. The whole experience felt like a worthwhile splurge. I've already told my best friend I'm taking her here when she visits from California. All in all Pizza Baby West is worth the visit, we'll definitely be back. read more

Newly opened pizza spot in my neighborhood so I figured I'd give it a try. Being a New Yorker I am very particular about my pizza but they had so many other options on the menu we decided to try. We had a reservation and were immediately seated. The place was pretty busy for a Wednesday, they had nice music playing and all the staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Buratta as an appetizer and it was amazing. The pesto wasn't overpowering and it was just the right quantity for an appetizer. My husband ordered the luau pizza minus the jalapeños and I ordered the meatball sandwich that came with a Caesar salad. That Caesar salad was the star for both of us! We shared my portion and even ordered a small one to go! He totally enjoyed his slice of pizza and even had half to take home. My meatball sub was excellent-the marinara wasn't salty and the bread it was on was amazing. Just the right amount of fresh mozzarella. Great new local spot. Will totally come back and try other items on their menu. read more

Let's talk about Pizza Baby.... No, that's actually the name of this trendy pizza spot. Located in an up an coming area of Charlotte off Freedom Dr. Lot's of parking in the area and seating inside and outside. The inside dining area is wide open and a bit loud, but it's a perfect spot for after work social or a night with friends. My wife had a Mule to start and she was impressed. We had the BACON WRAPPED DATES, GARLIC KNOTS, CEASAR SALAD AND THE LARGE 90'S SUPREME PIZZA. The food was excellent. This is a must try Pizza spot. read more

I'm sorry, I never leave reviews but Pizza Baby West was one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. I've heard all this hype around town about how great their food is but my carry out experience was subpar- to say the least. Granted, I didn't get their pizza but ordered a salad and bread to go...while the bread was fresh, not nearly enough dipping sauce was supplied. And the salad? Get out of here...nobody wants to eat a head of lettuce. $30 spent and regretting every penny but, the wait staff was very kind and attentive when I went to pick up. I now realize why the dining room was empty at 6pm on a Thursday... read more

I would highly recommend Pizza Baby. I love that the pizza is simple and approachable. They really convey using high quality and local ingredients which I love. The atmosphere was great. I will say service was slightly slower but not bad if you are looking for a slow and casual dinner. I am excited to go to their 'East' location for the roman style pizza! read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon, with two of our friends already there, they had ordered some appatizers that came put pretty prompt. We were waited on by a young lady, she didn't seem to know what was on the menu... We ordered 4 sparkling waters that took almost 15 minutes to arrive, and 4 pizzas that took an additional 50 minutes... which came out very dry and cracker-like. Also only 3 pizzas showed up... the waitress I guess only pretended to write down our orders as my wife didn't get her pizza, so 20 minutes goes by after we inform the waitress and we come out with the pizza which we elected to take to go... Only to get home and find out they gave us the wrong pizza... not a good day here. read more

Ordered: to-go, 1st time customer 1 Mother 14" $15.00 1 Bacon in the Sun 14" $18.00 1 Caesar Salad $16.00 Yeah. SIXTEEN. The pizza was nothing to rave about. In fact, I'd probably tell people not to go. The bacon one was definitely better than the cheese, but both over priced for what it was. And HOW is a salad going to be more expensive than a whole pizza?!?! I thought for sure this will be a large salad that at least two of us could share. It was barely the size of a side salad. Extremely disappointed. In short: nothing I'd go back for. Especially at those price points. read more

I think I've found my new favorite pizza spot in Charlotte! My bf and I went for Valentine's Day because we have been hearing great things about this place. I love the feel and decor of the Restaurant. It was pretty packed when we were there but our server was great and kept our drinks full while we waited on the pizza. Highly recommend the pickle martini- it's amazing! I got the hot honey and pistachio pizza. I'm still dreaming about it! So so so delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

We stopped in during a weekend day, right at opening time. We saw that they won 'top 50 pizza places in the US', so we want to check it out. It is a redeveloping part of town in West Charlotte. There is a lot of construction and new building going on the area. So we were happy to see part of Charlotte having new life breathed into it. Our server clearly didn't want to be there. She never smiled or even so much as a 'hello', and we had to wait a while for her to even come over to our table and take our drink order. Her demeanor left an impression and it stayed with stay through our entire visit. ;( We ordered the wings, a 12 inch pizza each, and a soda each. You could tell it was high food quality, but it still disappointed. I am someone who loves pizza crust, but this was even too much crust for me. This was definitely NOT best pizza in the US. We left feeling like it was overpriced, poor service, with ok pizza. We might try it again if we are in that part of town. read more

I really wanted to love Pizza Baby, but my first dining experience here left something to be desired. AMBIANCE - The space is beautiful. Perfect for a date night! Love the open kitchen concept. We came on a busy Saturday evening and opted to sit at the bar. For starters, there are no purse hooks under the bar so I had to sit my purse on the barstool next to me. Sorry if that seemed like an asshole move on my part, so please consider installing some purse hooks for your purse carrying customers. :) SERVICE - The bartender who served us could not have been less interested in being there. Her demeanor was cold, she didn't go out of her way to be helpful, it was like pulling teeth to get food and drink recommendations from her. The drinks she made were very good, but her customer service skills could use much improvement. FOOD - We ordered the rosemary pistachio pesto pizza (after reading so many positive reviews about this one). The crust was very nice, but the pizza ate sweet. The menu said there is hot honey on it, but I didn't get any heat. I probably would not order this one again. Overall, the experience was ok. Better customer service would have made this a 4-star review instead of 3-star. read more

I came here on na Sunday around 1. The service was great, i loved the atmosphere, very chill but still not dive like. Our party happened to be there when they cracked open a fresh wheel of Parmesan and we got to sample it fresh and it was amazing Now for my actual review which is hard for me to say that I was underwhelmed by the food overall. This pains me to say as i had really high expectations. I found the food to be under seasoned. I usually find that pizza is salty, in this particular instance it was under. We had 3 pizzas, The Rosemary, the one with mushrooms and meat, and the margarita (which I didn't try). We also got the sauce flight, meatballs, and olives. The olives were great, I didn't try the meatballs I didn't hear anything from my party that they were good or bad either way. The sauces in the sauce flight just left me wanting a bit more flavor. I hope to try again on another visit and have a more flavorful experience. read more

Amazing food and service! The pesto is always so fresh and flavorful. Wah was amazing and we always look forward to seeing her.

The ambiance is great. The atmosphere is casual but the lighting and music steps it up a notch. I entered through the side door next to the cashier area. We were not greeted as we walked in. The other members of our party were already seated. The restaurant was steady but not busy. Max and Tifff were our servers. Max was amazing and I was surprised to hear that he was new. He made great menu suggestions since it was our first time. I can tell that he is patient because the person training him spoke a lil abruptly to him but he just brushed it off. I have noticed that people can be exceptionally well at what they do, but not as good at training someone else to do it. The food came out slowly, but I can see that the kitchen was extremely busy because they were getting DoorDash orders out. The salads were fresh and delicious. I ordered the rosemary pizza with thin slices and it was enough for three people versus one. I didn't have a drink on this visit, but my friends did. I was told that the drinks were good but not as sweet as they prefer me on the other hand, I can appreciate a good drink that is not syrupy! The drink that they ordered was the hibiscus flower- I think. I will pop in again for sure. Tiffany was nice and full of compliments and Max was dedicated to great customer service. read more

The reviews we read before we went were accurate: The food's good, the service needs improvement, and the ambiance is nice. The staff members were friendly and we were greeted as soon as we entered. Despite the sparse crowd, service was extremely slow. We saw one couple go up to a staff member to complain about how long they had been waiting for their food. We tried a variety of 14" pizzas: margarita one came out on top with the Starsky a close second. We went with very high expectations about the pizza: it was good. We thought it was overrated, so take this with a grain of salt as we're pizza snobs. It's wheelchair accessible. read more

Trendy pizza place that has a lot of items to choose from in their menu Service was friendly and prompt. Do not forget to order their cheese bread! It was amazing: think thick crusted bread completed smothered in cheese and garlic. It came with a tomato dipping sauce. The Roman style pizza was interesting. Tasty and fresh ingredients. What is Roman style? Technically, instead of the traditional tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, Roman-style pizza is often topped with a variety of ingredients such as cured meats, vegetables, and even eggs. The possibilities are endless, and each slice is a unique and delicious creation. This one in particular, instead of a pie, since we ordered two slices, was sort of a ciabatta bread with all the toppings on top of it. Their PLT sandwich was delicious too: fresh lettuce, crispy pancetta, medium sized tomatoes, some mayo. Truly refreshing and enjoyable! We sat outside as it was a nice early evening day but there was plenty of sitting inside. read more

I chose a better pizzas this time around ; veggie pizza and meat. I was very satisfied where I wanted to update my review to reflect my experience.

Conceivably can become my favorite pizza spot. read more

My name is Dr. Orange and I'm an addict. I'm addicted to Pizza. My addiction started as far back as I can remember. Growing up in New York - Well, the rest is history. I've had them all! - Believe me when I tell you I've had them all. My Barber @ Caliber Men's Grooming in Charlotte (Brian L.)- had to tell me about this place. I will not forgive him! Pizza Baby - might quite possible be one of the best Pizza's I have had in my entire life. Hands down - This may be the best Pizza in the Carolinas. My Wife only allows me to have the Margherita; - "Most Days" - we order an 18" Margherita with Fresh Garlic / Well Done. No Flop! - Crispy - Absolutely unbelievable. Confession - We are guilty of not leaving the house and have never actually visited any of the Pizza Baby Locations - Out "Knowledge" is through the Daily/Countless Door Dash orders that we place. The Menu is simple; the Pizza design is simple. Don't be a schmuck and make it complicated. Kudos! - You must try! Pizza Baby - Charlotte, NC is truly out of this world! L'Chayim! read more

Highly disappointed with my service today, i understand that this is supposed to be brick oven pizza spot, but brunt pizza this has to be a joke. Staff was very inattentive not sure if that was because they were trying to pre-close instead of making sure the food was up to par, but I can tell you one thing I would NEVER spend my money on this establishment. Side note~ make sure that workers take off there gloves while being on the phone & wash their hands after they eat food not just going straight back to work :/ read more

Pizza Baby - Burnt pizza lol - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Following my first visit to Pizza Baby I have to say I'm pretty impressed. Housed in a former warehouse the space has an elegant industrial appeal, and despite the name this isn't strictly a pizzeria. They have an open kitchen where they serve up burrata, bacon wrapped dates, and many more culinary delights. You can tell they take their food seriously. Their pizzas come in sizes of 18" and 12", and since I was rolling solo for this visit I elected to order a 12". They have some creative ideas for pies, but I was feeling a bit basic so I decided to go with the starsky which is their take on a meat lovers but asked them to hold the chilis. The pizza was very good. I certainly and curious to go back because their wings looked phenomenal and so did their meatball sammich. They also have a location in Elizabeth known as Pizza Baby East so I am curious to see if it is a similar concept or has its own identity. Wesley Heights is a happening area these days and it's great to see all the new dining options they have to offer, Pizza Baby included! read more

This is probably a biased review because the Caesar salad pissed me off so much I was already jaded by the time the pizza came. The menu isn't huge, so you expect that everything on it should be excellent. Especially a $16 Caesar salad. I was expecting it to be large and delicious. It was the bare minimum, a very small portion, and incredibly salty. The 14 inch pizza was only $4 more than the salad. We got the Cali Pizza. It was pizza. Ranch was also unimpressive. We also tried the Italian sandwich which was the standout item. And here's the catch- it was cheaper than the salad! I hate giving 3 ratings, and my meal wasn't terrible. But I won't be coming back. read more

I've had Pizza Baby a few times now and feel I can write an accurate review based on these experiences. I am not a pizza snob nor am I from an area known for pizza so I don't have high expectations. I have found the pizza to be good but nothing amazing, special, or different. To me it is the same as many other places. The Starsky has been the best thing we had so far. Other than pizza we have also tried the meatballs and the mushrooms and found them pretty average and overpriced. Both times that I have gotten take out the order was not ready in time and one of those times it was about 15 minutes after the scheduled pickup time. read more
