Best calzone and burger place I've ever been to. I stumbled upon this spot on a whim while heading to the local Wells Fargo. As I pulled in, I noticed the Mountain Dew umbrellas--a classic sign of a great hole-in-the-wall joint. We spoke with Nora (the owner), and she instantly felt like family--just like talking to my grandmother. Everything is made from scratch, and wow, it's fantastic. I started with two slices of pizza, which were great, but then I tried the calzone and the Euro burger... holy cow! If you're looking for a well-priced meal and want to support a local business with a rich history, this place is a must. Make sure to say hi to Nora at the front! (Get Philly calzone if it's your first time) read more

Primavera Pizza - Euro burger - Italian Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

Went in with a family of 6 and a lady comes out to tell me "they aren't taking anymore orders". Mind you, it was 2 pm and advertised that they were open until 9pm. Don't quite understand how things work around these parts. read more

A ton of ingredients which on a thin crust requires a fork & knife so that the toppings don't fall off. The thin crust was a little soggy until getting to where it's a little thicker where it was absolutely buttery delicious. It's a quaint NYC, Chitown hole in the wall with a few tables to allow for eat in. It felt like I was transported back to a pizza place in the 70s family run where everyone knows your name. The owner was initially there by herself. What looked like her son came in later. She was very nice and checked on us a couple of times to make sure we had everything we needed. I'd go again to try another dish to see if it has that homey Italian taste. read more

Yelp says open until 10pm. Our party of 3 walked in at 8pm, looking for dinner after driving 4 hours. We were told they would not seat us in the restaurant because they were closing at 9pm. We ended up eating somewhere else. The whole experience seemed bizarre. I've never been turned away at a restaurant. read more

I love this cute family owned spot. The restaurant is small but the food is amazing. A day later and I'm still thinking about the pizza. I love a good thin crust. The service was great too. Keep in mind they don't take dine in 1hour before closing. read more

Stopped by for a take out order, eggplant parm sub, and it was delicious. Great food for a great price. We'll be back!

My partner and I have been traveling for a few weeks and came into Charlotte, ended up in Mathews. Needless to say, I was starving. We decided to dash for a little bit to grab some grub; I was after a good cheese steak, but - unfortunately, everything within distance was closed. I saw the sign "Pizza" on the street and swung right in with no hesitation. There I went into this place I was welcomed by a, broken English heavy Italian accented middle-aged lady. I told them I was hungry; she showed me a menu - I was keen on the cheesesteak, but for the price, and it is a pizza place. I ordered the stromboli. Now, I am a bit of a picky pizza eater. It is really hard to meet my standards completely; I like that light but crispy crust. Often, in every pizza place I go to, I always request it extra well or well done. This time, I forgot, but - I told my partner I'm gonna take a chance this time. It took about twenty or so minutes then I was ready. I got it to go, and as soon I got it back to the car, I was excited to tear my brown bag open; here's how it went. I was presented with a brown paper bag with the stromboli wrapped hot in foil. When I opened the foil, the most amazing aroma of tomatoes, cured meats, and veggies. I wasn't entirely sure what was in the stromboli, I asked for everything. What I am sure of is that first bite. I know it may seem like a total exaggeration, but - I could taste this family's entire heritage. I could taste the hard work and the past down recipes. The crust was so light but crispy without a single burn mark. The toppings were stuffed and perfectly cooked through. Then there's the sauce. This is not an out-of-the-can sauce, which some people might argue San Marano from the Can is the only way to go. In my opinion, it's the family's traditional recipes that are hard to beat. It shows what makes them different. This sauce is beyond what a marinara represents. As for the stromboli as well. What I experienced wasn't your typical chain or basic stromboli and marinara. What I experienced was a taste of this family's legacy. They understand good food and I left one extremely happy customer. read more

So good & authentic. We got the Stromboli with their homemade sauce and the Philly cheese steak calzone was seriously the best combination I would've never thought it would be better than the Stromboli but it was So yummy..I want to go back and get it very soon! read more

Omg!!! This quaint little pizzeria is a piece of Italian heaven. First off it's located in Matthews of all places. No shade but we don't eat in Matthews a lot. Only thing I go there for is Costco's. ‍ So when I found this place it was sooooo worth it. The ambience gives an authentic italian vibe. I ordered s small 12' pizza w/ mushrooms, peppers, and onions and pepperoni and sausage. The sauce is yummy, bold and authentic (house made). The crust was perfectly baked w/a garlic parm crust. Of course I accompanied it with a simple red merlot wine. Nothing fancy but yummy. Will most definitely be going back again and again, and again. Also the service was wonderful read more

Workers need to be educated on the food, asked for suggestions and I heard crickets. Ordered meat stuffed pizza . Sucked , no sauce in the pizza and burned. Good thing I ordered extra sauce at 1 dollar a piece for 2 ounces of sauce if that much. Food sucks , if you don't know how to cook or live off fast food garbage, you'll love it. read more

Been eating here for 15 yrs!! Family owned and operated. Same great family recipes, consistently great food.

The best pepperoni pizza in Charlotte! The parmesan oregano blend is so tasty! Highly suggest this great place.

Amazing food. I love to get food from there and the folks working are always helpful and kind.

Delicious!! We loved the cheese pizza and the buffalo pizza. The staff was also very friendly.

Had baked ziti with meat sauce. Ziti was way overcooked and mushy. Sauce was tasteless. Other party had chicken parm with spaghetti. Dish was swimming in water and, as like meat sauce, totally tasteless. Chicken was tough. Garlic knots were good. Disappointing waste of money. Sorry. read more

Probably one of my favorite pizza spots in the area, highly recommend! read more

Excellent pizza . They make their own dough. This is one of my two favorite pizza restaurants

Never got to try the food, walked into the place and waited to get helped. When finally getting some help it was from a very rude lady. Who did not want to help. So I left. Very disappointed in this establishment. Will not go here again if in the area. read more

Pizza was very good and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. To feed a family of 4 here is very affordable. Primavera was definitely one of the best meals we had on our trip. read more

I've passed by the pizzeria so many times. I finally decided to stop in one day with my date and we were very pleased we did. We simply ordered a 14 in cheese pie, salad and wine. This was a perfect spot. The staff /owners were very friendly and responsive. Looking forward to trying their other menu items. We are definitely returning here whether for takeout or to dine in. This is a true diamond in the rough that has been around for over a decade but took me some time to find. I would only suggest they offer a few more premium/local can or bottle beer selections in addition to the Stella. Thanks! read more

Omg omg omg. I've been trying to figure out the right word to describe my experience and I think I came up with something... PHENOMENAL!! I went here not knowing what to expect. I thought it was going to be a typical pizza dining experience, some kind of takeout that I wasn't going to remember. The sign on be outside where they have the other store names just said "Pizza." I looked at the prices and I whispered to myself, "Yikes." Their pizzas were like $15-20 for a large one or two topping so I passed on that. I realized I haven't had an authentic calzone before so I decided on getting the spinach calzone. The woman that asked what I wanted had a very authentic Italian accent- it made me feel like I was in a close-knit family shop that had been in the business for a while :-) The calzone came in this small box and was about $9. A little pricey, but I figured it was going to be good. I opened the box up when I got outside and I saw the size of that thing! It was HUGE. I took a bite with the marinara sauce that they included and it was extremely delicious. The parmesan inside was baked into the cheese and I could definitely taste it through the bread and the spinach. I'm coming back next week and getting the broccoli calzone next, I'm soooo excited to stuff my face again haha. read more

Off the beaten path of independence you'll find this restaurant. Plenty if indoor seating. Smaller mom and pop feel. Food was prepared promptly. Food was pretty good. Had a cheese pizza for the kids, some garlic knots, and a pepperoni and sausage calzone. Only negative on the food was the calzone had no ricotta. Was very strange, but it was good nonetheless. read more

The pizza is wonderful! The crust has great texture and crispness. The service was quick and friendly. Wished we lived closer so we could come often! read more

Hands down one of my all time favorite pizza places... wish we were locals. The pizza crust tastes like authentic Italian pizza crust (from Italy) with the delicious American style on the rest of the pizza... the pizzas are thin and are in the NY style... they also make homemade ranch which is outstanding. Only negative is they serve Pepsi... some people will understand the struggle in that. read more
