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

The pizza was completely inedible. A quart of tomato sauce sat on top of turned-soggy bread, surrounded by burnt crust. And it wasn't even that hot. It had been sitting there under the lights for too long. Because the place was busy, and we do have empathy for how hard servers work, we did not send it back or say anything. Just ate as much as we could The meatball appetizer was small and not overly flavorful--a lot for $14, just to add that in. Also, many of the appetizers are cheese-type dishes, which feels like a bit much if you're already there for pizza. Why PB puts SO much sauce on their pies, I don't know. They could save a few dollars by cutting the amount in half. Maybe their other pies are not as soggy, and the fact that margherita pies have a more watery cheese is a factor. Still, we nearly had to eat it like soup. The service was fine--could've been a little more attentive. But there are a dozen other pizzerias in Charlotte that are much better. read more

Amazing full of flavor crusty pizza!!! Nice and cheesy! Wonderful service! (Thanks Parrish) This was our 2nd time here and we absolutely love them. We plan on visiting their sister store Flour Shop to try their pasta dishes. read more

The service was nice and prompt. Pretty interesting menu got to try something I've never had before. Food came out pretty quick. It was a pretty tasty pizza. We will definitely have to come back when I have more time to explore the menu further. read more

After reading raving reviews about this restaurant, my husband wanted to check out this place. We met up with 4 friends, and they were able to accommodate our larger group of 6. The place didn't have much of an ambiance...as it's more of a pizzeria eatery versus a full fledged restaurant. Not only stark, it was quite small, they squeezed in a lot of tables and chairs throughout. My husband and I shared this Rosemary Pizza, and the Joyce Farms Chicken Wings. I personally loved the pizza crust...and even the texture of the pizza. Quality pizza for sure. While I loved this cheesy, white pizza, this pizza just lacked something...but couldn't put a finger on it. It could have used a bit of spice or something. Guess the word is...bland? Think with a bit more prosciutto, or a bit more sauce, it could have been stellar....but it was just good (a bit short from great?). Also, the presentation was lacking. Think I liked the pizza more than my husband...who prefers more red, tomato-based pizza. As for the chicken wings, I thought it was fresh, but so tasteless! My husband felt the same way. We both agreed that while the foods were fresh and high in quality, everything we had was kinda bland. Another couple in our group tried the Queen Margherita Pizza...and they seemed a bit underwhelmed as well. I didn't take pics of the Caesar Salad and some other items ordered by our party...but everything seemed just O-Kay at best. The weird thing is...I looked at all the pictures at Yelp prior to coming here, and I thought the pizza looked thick (almost too thick for my liking), but it wasn't thick at all. Maybe the pictures were deceiving...or could they have changed the formula, and are now making thinner pizzas?? I actually really liked this Aperol Spritz they had on the menu...and I think my husband enjoyed his beer (forgot what). Service was pretty good though. While the pizza did take a good 15-20 minutes, but I guess that's to be expected from a hand-crafted pizzeria like this? Our waitress had no problem keeping up with our group. She didn't even have to jot down our orders (memorized?!?). In any case, I'm glad we tried this place. I didn't hate the pizza, but kinda hated the wings. It had ZERO flavor! Overall, I just didn't feel that it lived up to expectations of this place. We both felt that we have much better pizza and chicken wings elsewhere. read more

Native New Yorker here...we love pizza... I found Pizza Baby by mistake when I missed a turn My pizza was a 10/10 so good and filing. I couldn't eat all of it. Crust had a nice crunch and every bite I felt like I needed to close my eyes and exhale...so good!! Service was a bit slow, alot of chit chat with guests and staff while waiting for service please work on that. Great place to come for lunch when in the area. read more

Ready for a pizza party? I recently checked out Pizza Baby, and the vibe is casual and super welcoming--the host made me feel right at home! The server was swamped but she made it a priority to check on us. I started with their mule pizza baby style and it was very tasty. Honestly, I'm not much of a pizza person, but Pizza Baby is a serious opportunity for a delicious change of heart. I went all in on the Supreme style pizza and paired it with a fresh, caesar salad -covered in crunchy house made croutons. So if you're having a craving for pizza, go to Pizza Baby! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE Pizza Baby. This was my first time visiting but I plan to stop in whenever I'm in Charlotte. The restaurant is cute and cozy. I sat right next to the window and in front of the shelves of wine, it was such a vibe. For food I ordered the Queen Margherita (whole pie) and the Rosemary (Roman Style slice). A Roman Style slice is more than enough for one person but I wanted to be greedy and try a couple options. Both pizzas were delicious but the Rosemary was a great blend of flavors I'd never had before. I also tried the Little Gem Caesar salad. The salad had hearty pieces of romaine lettuce with just the right amount of dressing. I tried both the Hugo Spritz and the Limon Basil Spritz for drink options and both tasted great. The service was great, multiple staff members approached me to see if I needed anything during my time there and my waitress was super attentive. Parking is super easy, there's a free lot with plenty of space right across the street. I visited on a weekday shortly after the restaurant opened at 11am, so it wasn't too crowded. Will definitely visit again! read more

This is exactly what incredible pizza should taste like. The queen margherita had the perfect amount of that sweet tangy pizza sauce, the right crisp on the crust (and great undercarriage btw), all balanced by the creamy mozzarella. And that pesto? Something I'm convinced every margherita pizza needs from now on! The Roman Sicily slice was nothing short of fantastic either - the fluffy and crisp crust, almost reminiscent of focaccia, is the perfect bed for the smorgasbord of toppings it comes with. The stracciatella melted with pools of the Calabrian chili oil is something I would like to write a love letter to. Overall, I would 100% come back & can't wait for my next experience. Pizza Baby, keep it up! read more

Heard about Pizza Baby and simply had to try it. We went to Pizza Baby East. This is a dine-in or take out restaurant. Its small but there is you have the option to be seated inside and out. When you go to their east restaurant the pizza is a Roman-style pizza. I love pizza so I had to try both options. I ordered the Mother pie and the Roman Mother. The Mother pizza is the traditional style pizza. Huge crusts! Personally I liked the Roman Mother. It is created using focaccia bread. It was very tasty. Pizza baby east is in a perfect location for those working or visiting Presbyterian Hospital. Its just a short walk from the main entrance. We will be back. Thanks for a great experience. read more

I LOVED that blanco pizza and can't wait to go back for it. I met up with a friend and already had water when I showed up. We decided to try a few slices and were NOT disappointed. The place is small but not too loud and we were tucked away in a cozy area. The servers were attentive! read more

Pizza Baby East is my favorite spots to eat in Charlotte. Hands down. We popped in here initially from a friends recommendation and we were blown away! It's cozy, welcoming, and obvious chef driven mentality. Anytime folks come to the city, I always bring them here to impress. Pro Choice: order the Negroni while you look over the food menu. They just launched their new sandwiches and both servers raved about the pastrami. Housemade bread, sauces, and the blackened crust on this melt in your mouth pastrami slice was top tier. Sandwiches come with a nice pasta salad on the side too! Another Pro- Move: order their bread loaf to go for the best sandwiches at home! 50 Top Pizza USA Guide and a true gem in the Charlotte food scene. read more

Italian cafe setup in Elizabeth serving focaccia bread pizza? Yes please! Park on the nearby lots or on the street and you're in for a treat. Walk in to a small cafe with a bar and you're greeted with a smile. The wall is full of wine and olive oil which set the vibe of the restaurant. Sandwiches and shareables were available but I was here for the pizza. Focaccia bread gives a thicker base which holds up to the unique combinations. The tartufo with pine nuts and truffle cram offers a great combination- not your traditional slice but something delicious and memorable. If you're seeking unique combinations and a memorable, slower experience spend some time at Pizza Baby East. read more

Casual place that is good for friends. Definitely get your pizza Roman style. You will not be disappointed. We had the Burrata to start that came in a flavorful pesto sauce. You can get wine and beer there and the server suggested a great wine. Really nice meal in a casual setting. The place is small and gets busy quickly so plan ahead. read more

Pizza Baby East is OUTSTANDING. And this is coming from a gal who doesn't eat pizza or sandwiches very often because of the carbs and calories. My husband and I went there for lunch on a quiet Monday. I had the Mortadella, Burrata, and Arugula sandwich with their daily side, a Caesar salad. My husband had the Roman-style (i.e., single slice) Sicily pizza, with added pepperoni. Even though they make their sliced pizza fresh to order, we only waited ten minutes for our lunch. While my husband usually favors thinner crust pizzas, he loved the Roman-style thick crust at Pizza Baby East. It was very crispy, and the toppings were just perfect (especially the mortadella and chili oil!). His pizza was cut into two large pieces that were a perfect portion for him. For $10 (plus $2 for the added pepperoni), this was a great lunch deal. My sandwich was served on crispy homemade bread, with lots of arugula. The pesto and burrata added great flavor, and I only wish there were a little more of these two ingredients. Regardless, my sandwich was absolutely amazing. The salad was similarly good, made with obviously homemade dressing and crispy croutons. Their portions are generous, and I took half of my sandwich home. This sandwich was absolutely worth the $14 cost, including a side. The staff were very friendly, and the chef even came over to see if we were enjoying our lunch. We responded with a resounding YES. FYI - if you order a Coke, you'll get a bottled version from Mexico. Yay - no high fructose corn syrup in their Cokes! Parking is easy (and free!) in the large lot across the street. We'll definitely return! read more

This place has so much potential. The first time we went here, we ordered a pizza and mozzarella sticks to go. Pizza was hot, ingredients were fresh (a bit skimpy on the toppings) so much to our disappointment, the mozzarella sticks were small, and we were only given a few of them and did not seem fresh. We recently went back again to order just a pizza and unfortunately the pizza did not seem to be hot. Further more we added 3$ for chicken and received 5 cubes on the whole pizza and also there weren't many mushrooms either. We love the pizza options here but feel like overall there's some work to do before we go back again. read more

Tried the Sicily which had good flavor but the bottom had no crispiness, so no contrast in texture and was barely warm. Which is odd since took at least 15-20 minutes to be served. At the end was disappointed and was really hoping for great focaccia which this was not. read more

I've only been here one time, and it was to pick up some pizzas and wings to go. I got a Queen Margherita with pepperoni, and a Paradise Island. Both were amazing. I wasn't familiar with "Roman" style pizza before, but I'm a fan. I'm down with the thicker dough, and premium ingredients - it feels like they want to create really high quality pizzas here and I appreciate it. Bonus for the pesto over the top on the marg, it was delicious. The wings were solid too. All around 5 star experience and I'm looking forward to going back. read more

I decided to try Pizza Baby after looking at the pictures and reviews of their mortadella sandwich. I had very high expectations going in, but after arriving, I realized that my expectations would be exceeded very shortly. As planned, I ordered the mortadella and burrata sandwich. It was promptly delivered to my table, and it was beautifully toasted. After just one bite, I realized that this sandwich was truly special and elevated the ingredients such that you would have thought you were sitting in a café in Florence. It was expertly prepared and made the most of the mortadella. It was paired beautifully with the arugula while the burrata added luxury to and already incredible sandwich. Since the experience with the sandwich was so good, I had to try a slice of the Roman pizza. I am sure their American style pizza is great, but under no circumstances would I order anything but the Roman style. I had the Sicilian, which was the perfect marriage of ingredients and took my breath away. This lunch was accompanied by a Caesar salad that was also expertly prepared. I could not give this restaurant a higher rating. While I was there, I met the owner and he was incredibly personable and clearly has a passion for what he does. This will become a place that I routinely revisit. read more

Mixed opinion on this. Ordered one of these delicious looking sandwiches while my wife had the wings. Sandwich is a solid 4/5 and I would order it again. My only complaint is that the pesto is a bit too overwhelming and I probably would have liked to see a bit more meat and cheese in there instead. I can deal with it but my wife said all she was tasting was pesto. The wings on the other hand were not the greatest. 2/5 for that, and they were fairly tasteless and not as tender as I would have hoped. I would stay away from them. Takeout only. I recommend you come try the sandwiches and see for yourself. read more

I'm always up for trying different types of pizza and I was able to check this place out during the week. This location serves what they call a Roman style pizza by the slice using house made focaccia bread and the Americana pizza using cold fermented pizza dough both free of additives/preservatives and seed oil free. I ordered the Queen margherita(red base, pesto, mozzarella, basil) and the crust was light and fluffy but crunchy....not sure how to explain but everything was super fresh and flavorful....an exceptionally well made pizza! read more

I don't say this in a cavalier or unprepared manner, maybe the best pizza I've ever had. It is profoundly perfect.

I wanted to like Pizza Baby so badly, but nothing wowed me. Their bread is good, but that's about it. Hate to say it.

My car salesman raved over this pizza. I was more than excited to try it out! I was let down, nothing to rave over. First of all $14.08 for a slice of meatball pizza is steep! I could have had a whole pie from Portofino's and enjoyed it! It was overcooked, the crust was thick and the sauce definitely wasn't screaming $14. The sauce is everything. It can make or break a pie. It just seemed to be missing something. Not too sure what. It did taste a little better with the roasted garlic. The meatball wasn't that great either. It tasted weird and it looked undercooked. I'm pretty sure it had pork in it. I would be willing to try it again. Maybe it was what I ordered, but I don't think so. lol read more

Stumbled upon this place while on lunch break. I was greeted and seated immediately since place was pretty empty at that time I went abt 2ish. I ordered wings and they were just ok for me.

I was so excited to try Pizza Baby. We got there early and were seated with no issues. The place is small, the wait staff literally have no place to go besides the front counter. We ordered the wrapped dates appetizer, Chicken cutlet sandwich and a Roman Sicily Slice. The cutlet sandwich came out first. My son took a bite, made a face and said it was dry. The fact that it came out first made me uneasy, like it was someone else's order or a mistake so they just served it to get rid of it instead of making a new one. The cold pasta salad had more flavor than the sandwich. He didn't finish the sandwich, it went home to the dogs. The appetizer then showed up, we ate that. It was good. We waited 20 minutes for the Roman Sicily slice. It finally showed up, we each were able to take a bite, then had to get a box to go since we had tickets for a show. The slice was hot, looked great and really good, it had a good flavor. Several staff members asked how we were doing, refilled drinks and were very polite. Go for the pizza. read more

The Pesto Pistachio Focaccia Pizza is what lured me in and it did not disappoint. It was delicious! It's by the slice so it's pretty good size for $11.00. The wings were good too with just the right amount of spiciness, but they're VERY overpriced at $16.00! We ordered ONE bottle coke $5.00 and took home a dessert $10.00. Over $60+ for a lunch experience is very expensive and takes away from the good experience, because you leave feeling ripped off. The service is VERY slow and it seemed like they only had one server (WAH) and she is NOT efficient at all and cannot multitask. You can tell she becomes overwhelmed with simple tasks. It's just pizza and sandwiches, the service shouldn't be so slow. Overall, we would return, but only for pizza and water, cuz it's just too freakin expensive! The ambiance is a bit crowded and the layout seems cluttered. read more

Ok to start off I had TY as my server. Things went a bit rocky but TY fixed it all so because of his service that's a 5. Than pizza no flop very good fresh ingredients perfect crisp.

Unbelievable hospitality! Great service! Great food! Easy pick up. 5/5 overall experience! As advertised. the crust was very thick on outer part and very thin in the middle .

Just looking at the pie it's a solid 7.5/10 could easily be a 9+ with a few tweaks but thats just to my taste . read more
