Primavera Pizza - GIANT calzones. Had the buffalo chicken and loved it. Bigger than my face times two. - Italian Near Me - Matthews, North Carolina

See all

Simply put, phenomenal! The lasagna pizza was great. It took me three slices to actually take a breathe...and to figure out the thing that really made this pizza unique. The crust isn't too chewy, you bite through it. Maybe they don't over knead their dough. Whatever it is, this is probably the best crust I have ever had! I'm so glad this isn't my hometown or I would eat too much! read more

Amazing calzone. The size of a football. Will be coming back for sure in the future. Sauce and cheese are very flavorful.

I've gone twice this week hands down one of my top favorite pizza places. The lady who works there and makes the pies is awesome and the atmosphere when you walk in is terrific! read more

Purchased a delivery order, Meatball app, Philly Cheese Steak, and onion rings. Meatballs were mealy and mushy. Doubt they were pan friend before being put in the sauce. Philly steak was tasty although probably frozen meat. Onion rings we're greasy but still quite good, crispy with flavorful seasoning in the breeding. I'll try it again sometime, maybe just caught them on a bad day. read more

Catching up on reviews finally. Ok, 1st, anybody claiming this is NY Style Pizza has no clue what NY Style Pizza is. Period. 45+ years of eating ny pizza and every other pizza/cuisine/food in NY, in the south and all over the world, I think I know what Im talking about. While not NY Style...not even close honestly. It is quite good/unique. Especially here in the south. It reminds me more of being in France and entering in to one of many establishments that advertise 'NY Style Pizza'. Nope, not 'NY Style'. But still quite good. Quite unique. Easy to find this 'style of ny pizza' overseas. But hard to find here in the U.S. It does have the the thin quality, but thats where the similarity ends. The crust, cheese etc, is far more European in style. No stretchy globs of mozzarella. No need for an extra napkin to soak up the wonderful NY liquids dripping off your slice. A soft, flaky very European crust, Almost pastry like. Widespread overseas, but rare here in the U.S, especially in charlotte. Its not a chain. It is a mom and pop shop. Mostly Mom (nora) and her son. Nora is from Europe. Hence the European flair to their food. Both terrifically nice friendly enjoyable people. Whether your a regular or first timer, you will be treated the same...as family.... The location is good...sort of hidden...but sort of not...easily and quickly accessible once you know where they are. To the food which is of course the main thing. No, as said, not NY Style Pizza and anybody who says it is NY Style has no clue. Its 'European NY Style', which is vastly different then wandering around Brooklyn eating true NY Style Pizza. But that doesnt mean its not good. In fact, I would rec anybody go there and give it a try without hesitation. There are not many pizzas like this available here. I personally would like a little more flavor in the sauce. With that, Id give 5 stars. Just a tad bland....But, that flaky, pastry crust is awesome and I suspect if you asked for a tad more zest, they would accommodate you, and if not, the crust alone makes it a regular stop on your weekly dining trip that you, your kids and family should greatly enjoy and look forward to. The Calzones, Stromboli, Rolls and etc are good. Rather large (you wont leave hungry) and of course like everything they make, its all homemade. The above have the same delicious European pastry like homemade goodness the pizzas have. The main dishes, again, all 4 star...all delicious...pasta is typically al dente as all pasta should be....The garlic knots are quite good, close to 5 stars.... The only thing holding me back from an overall 5 star rating is the rave reviews for the 'best philly cheese steak' in NC reviews. OK, so Im spoiled. I expected more. Mind you, I was not disappointed, I just had my bar set too high. It was a 3.75-4 star sub just based on the bread and meat. I just expected a fuller, heartier sub with the green peppers, onions and etc to stand out, not be hard to find/taste. However, I also know the next time I order the Philly Sub, which I will soon, I will ask Nora for xtra Green peppers/onions etc to be softly/quickly sauted, not cooked fully and toss them on, and no doubt they will do it and my rating on the philly will likely jump to 5 stars. If you want true NY style pizza/pasta/dishes, go elsewhere. If you want a delicious Italian pizza/food/bread/meal etc, with a great European flair thats hard to find in this area, head on up to hwy 74/matthews township, visit this place and you'll find it and be glad you did. as a quick side note, the reason this place has the 'European Flair', is because of Nora's History...its where she's from, her travels and trevairs (sp?) experiences are what make this place a special gem all should try.....You likely won't be disappointed and in case you are, they likely wont let you leave until you are fully satisfied....When everything you make/cook/serve is homemade, there is a lot of leeway to change alter things to your liking.... They will ensure you leave happy and satisfied and looking forward to your next visit... Happy Eating read more

Mediocre at best. Cheese pizza and Garlic knots are just ok. Meatballs were horrible. Delivery was convenient but won't be eating here again. read more

Best pizza I have had since I had Massies pizza in Ohio Love the style Good customer service read more

My husband and I love the pizza best we had in N.C. it is the closest to making us feel we back in NY. Especially they crust amazing. Can't wait tried rest of the menu. read more

Love this place! The pizza is by far the best in the area! When delivered they are always friendly and daughter looks forward to when the pizza man comes. They always remember your name when coming in for pickup. Very family!! read more

Love this place, the best pizza I've ever had for sure ! Few employees but they are always very friendly. Can't go wrong eating here!

True, it's not NY pizza (if you think so, you've never actually eaten a slice in the city) but it's still good. We got the lasagna pie and it was very unique and delicious. The red sauce had something special in it, very good, I just wish there was more on the pie. Maybe on a cheese you get more, will have to try it next. Great find in Matthews, right down the street from our apartment, we'll definitely be back! read more

Fast delivery, very good food! Best pizza spot for anything off the menu (even the salads are huge and fresh.) Highly recommend!

In a city definitely not known for it's italian or any other food for that matter, Primavera Pizza does not help the cause. I ordered Spaghetti with sauce and I felt like I was back at the hospital in the 1980's. Yes, the spaghetti tasted like hospital food. It was greasy, and not tasteful at all. The salad was a few iceburg leaves, with a half assed tomato. My mother had a pre-cooked and frozen lasagna. It was not cheap, and for 2 dinners and tip the bill came out to almost $40.00.... no way, never again. The owners had expressed that they were from Europe, but I know food as bad as this is not served in Europe... maybe that's why they are here. read more

This is the best place to eat pizza, wings and there cheese steak is the best around. Great Family restaurant go and enjoy a great dinner or take it home. read more

Nice little ma and pop place. Had pizza and wings. The wings were just ok but the pizza was pretty good. Good service, nice people we would go back. read more

This is a great pizza place. New York style with a nice selection of speciality pizzas. The lasagna pizza was awesome. The crust is nice and light with garlic and butter. Delicious. read more

Pizza is excellent. Philly cheese steak is excellent. Garlic knots are addictive. Staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel like you're dropping in for a family dinner. We've taken visitors to Charlotte here for a quick slice, and inevitably they ask to go back on return trips to Charlotte. Love this place! read more

We ordered delivery because we had just moved here and didn't know where anything was. We ordered the white pizza and the spinach calzone. The food was absolutely amazing! and the guy who delivered it was nice. read more

I just tried them this evening moved to Charlotte 3 months ago was feeling like I would not find a good pizza, I did now fantastic I will be back definitely, I've been back twice since the first time and just keeps getting better I tried a sausage parmigiana sub and it was fantastic and a another pizza tonight, great place read more

I ordered pizza today for lunch for my staff and it was great! The gentleman taking my order over the phone was patient, methodical and very efficient. He didn't rush me and was helpful with sizing for a group. I asked them to deliver it at a certain time and he was here ON THE DOT. In person he was even more kind and considerate than he was on the phone. The pizza was great, the salads were fresh and their dressings were delicious. Thanks for making my little staff so happy today! read more

The young lady that answered the phone for my delivery order was an air head and I almost hung up. She was distracted and unprofessional on the phone. I kept having to repeat myself...literally I repeated myself over 5 times. She sounded young and she could cost the company great customers. The pizza was good. I got the classic. I am giving the pizza joint 1 star because service, cost and food go hand in hand. I got a small pizza and it cost over $25 bucks?!?!? The food was good but not $25 worth. I think it's a rip off. I'm probably not going to buy there again not because of the cost or taste but because of the air head worker. read more

Some of the best pizza in town. I don't know why the price has four dollar signs beside it because it's not that expensive and worth every penny. read more

This place has delicious pizza. We ordered the supreme which I really enjoyed. My wife made her own and it was great. The crust is our favorite part. Crunchy but light and airy. This is our new pizza place for sure. The service was great and they tell you to make yourself at home and just fill up your soda when needed. This is great for someone like me that drinks a lot. We will continue to come here. We also ordered delivery from here and the pizza was great too. read more

Stopped by based on a recommendation from a friend. First i have to a say that the owner/cook was a sweetheart. We made a couple selections. The Greek salad was very anticlimactic- the lettuce could have been fresher and the dressing was a little heavy on oregano, which lent itself to bitterness and it was mostly oil with little flavor. The Stromboli didn't look a thing like the pictures posted on Yelp. It was flat with super thin crust and skimpy filling. The lasagna pizza had a great flavor but the crust was so thin and floppy that you had to slide a plate under it and then fold it to eat it. It was also a bit greasy...not sure if that was the meat or the cheese(?)...at any rate, it was just OK. There are better pizza places. read more

Great lunch option in Matthews for pizza or subs/ salads. I've had the pizza which was very good. And, I've had hot subs a few times now and they were pretty good. There wasn't as much chicken on the chicken filet sandwich as I had hoped but it was a tasty sandwich. Really nice owners. Will definitely go back. read more

Best Italian food I've ever eaten!! Garlic Knots are croissant-like in their flakiness. Her garlic sauce is homemade and amazing!! I will definitely be eating here on my next trip to Charlotte. read more

I had the Philly Cheese steak. My husband has the Chicken Parmesan and we split the garlic knots. The bread was so light, yet perfectly crunchy. The woman and her son, who own the place are absolutely lovely. This is one locally owned business we can't wait to come back to. Now to try the pizza!!!! read more

I had the Egg plant Parmesan for lunch and it was awesome! A HUGE helping, should have ordered the kids size! The only thing I didn't like was that they only had the thick pasta, (I'm an angel hair kind of person). The garlic knots were delicious! read more

I visited the other night, 8pm. Wanted to wait for the pizza, I really like this pizza, the cheese, the toppings, and all are quite good. Got the supreme like we usually do, It was perfect. Also ordered the philly beef calzone, very good. I like to dough that is used, I wish I had a hot oven to cook it. Recommend this place, staff and family there! read more

Love this place. Awesome pizza made from fresh ingredients, and so much better than stuff from the chains. People were right about their garlic knots too, so delicious. The owners and drivers seem like great people too. Keep it up! read more

I ordered a delivery broccoli pizza and got the worst of the broccoli on my pie. Tough stems and no flowers. When I called and asked for the manager she basically told me to F off and would not make me another pie with actual broccoli on it. I will never order from this place again given the owners attitude toward customer service. read more

This restaraunt is a true diamond in the rough. Five words that will change your life: Get the Philly Cheese Steak. I am by no means a Philly (the sandwich) fan, but this place has changed that. It is easily the most delicious sandwich I've ever had! read more

Got a large pepperoni & extra cheese pie, the crust was good toward the outside but way too thin toward the middle. The sauce is too watery and water logs the crust because its too thin. All the toppings and sauce slid to the middle of the pie during the ride home in the car and was a soupy mess at home. This is definitely fork pizza. Also the sauce needs more tomato paste and salt. The employees were friendly, that was a plus! read more

The pizza here is delicious! We wanted to try something else and when our food arrived we were not happy! The Stromboli was soggy and stuck to the paper plate. They wrapped it in a paper plate and then aluminum foil. The veggie and cheese sandwich was soggy and not tasty. Unfortunately, the owner refused to accommodate us so I guess this will be our last time ordering from this place. read more

I really do love the pizza here. Chicken wings are awesome. Calzones and meatball heros. If your in Matthews check it out.

Everything here is made mostly by one guy, sometimes he will even deliver it after he makes it. Food is always fresh and delicious. I love the buffalo chicken calzone and philly cheesesteaks. Enjoy read more

Delicious food thats perfectly prepared always. Good folks. Recommend the manicotti or chicken parmigiana.

Great find for our soccer team today. Huge portions, quality ingredients and nice service!

Great pizza and stromboli loved the crust Next up the philly wit wiz or what? Was easy to get to and fresh food took maybe 10 minutes read more
