    Pepperoni and bacon calzone
    Jennifer D.

    Cute location! Ample parking great for carry out, but I loved sitting inside! The bar is adorable and they have options in the drink fridge. I love that they have a build your own pizza option and so many types of pizza on their menu. Hot honey with vegan cheese was a hit for me and the fiance loved his calzone! Looked beautifully made. Service was quick and we look forward to trying many more pizzas here!

    Order via ours website. Driver picked up my pizza order at 5:50p and didn't deliver it until 5:09. I literally live 0.5 miles down the street. We just had a newborn which is why I didn't go get the order. Entire order was COLD. DRIVER TOLD ME HE WAS DOING MULTIPLE DELIVERY APPS

    Thin crust
    Cheryl M.

    The pizza tastes good. The salad was decent. The crust was thin with good toppings. My biggest concerns were the empty parking lot, the 96.5 sanitation score, and there was no soap in the restroom. Plus there was a broken toilet with a sign on it that looked to have been broken for a while. I told the one person working here that the soap dispenser was empty and she just said ok. I went back to check after I ate and she still had not refilled it with soap. That makes me wonder if they're washing their hands with soap before preparing food. That could explain that low score. There was only one cook and one server when we arrived. No other customers and it was lunch time. This is an indication that I probably will not return.

    Hole in a wall type place! Located off Central Ave. Friend and I decided to come for lunch. Arrived around 130ish, and the parking lot was EMPTY! you walk in, place your order at the counter, and then find a table, and they bring the food out for you. I ordered the chorizo personal pizza with Brussel sprouts. It was DELICIOUS! Pizza was made fresh, and the combination of chorizo with the radishes and lime they gave you gave it the extra kick! I definitely enjoyed that pizza and could've eaten the whole thing if I didn't stop myself. Brussel sprouts were flavorful. Grilled with all the spices, which made them flavorful and not just plain. The sanitation score was a bit low, 96.5, and the bathrooms had no soap in them and a broken toilet. Makes you wonder if the employees actually wash their hands if and when they use the bathroom. Superised at how it was empty when we came during lunch hour, which always makes me wonder what is wrong. Either way, my pizza was delicious, and I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items, but given the low sanitation score, I wouldn't come out of my way either. A big plus, though, they do have their own attached parking lot with PLENTY of parking spaces, which is always a plus, especially off Central Ave.

    10" Pepperoni Supreme Craft Pizza
    Gregory B.

    Really, really good pizza. Not too saucy, just the right amount of toppings. The sweetness of the peppers was really good. The price for the size was a bit much, but taste alone it was 5/5.

    16" Classic Cheese Pizza
    Nina Q.

    Portnoy would probably give them a 7.5 You know it's going to be a good spot when as you're walking in, people are walking out saying "I'm so excited to eat this I can't wait, I'm taking a peak." Pure Pizza delivers a great classic pizza, more on the thin crust side which I like. Great cheese ratio as well! Highly recommend!

    GREASY!
    Christin N.

    Ok So definitely would have got another star if they made my pizza correctly and wasn't so expensive for quantity of food. We got 10 inch Slap your Mama Pizza which they forgot to put ground beef on which was extremely disappointing , Mushrooms Appetizer they were some chopped up mushrooms with garlic and a sprinkle of goat cheese for $8, and 2 side Caesar salads they were just ok based on salad dressing but greens were very fresh and yummy homemade croutons. $30 plus tip Overall Ratings Mama Pizza Mushroom Appetizer Caesar Salad On a side note the ingredients of pizza were very fresh and seem to be GREAT quality! Very Greasy but I did add garlic and I'm thinking they used garlic oil. I probably wouldn't return to far and pricy for what you get and I'm not close, I drove 20 minutes to get it.

    T The T-Rex Pizza
    Natalie P.

    The best pizza I have had in Charlotte so far! I ordered the T. rex (which is essentially a meat lovers pie) on a Friday night. It took about 25 minutes to prepare. $24 in total. The pizza was delicious. It had such a generous portion of meat! The cheese was so fresh. The dough was the perfect texture. Each bite was soooo good! The 16" pizza was 8 slices and good for 2-3 people. Parking is a bit of a disaster, but once you get there, it's great! Indoor and outdoor seating.

    Farmer's Salad
    Kate T.

    Pure has always been bookmarked, but I have never made it, and now after relocating to the area and that I can practically walk to this location I had to try them out. The Farmer's Salad was amazing, a nice spring mix with radishes, carrots, onions and goat cheese with a balsamic dressing. As for the pizza, I created my own, thin, but not too thin crust, with a fluffy crust. I ordered pickup so cannot weigh in on too much on service, but from my pickup experience it was good. Definitely look forward to my next visit and trying some other pizzas they offer.

    Dining area
    Bells B.

    Dined here for the first time and was not impressed by the salad. The chicken was cold and seemed like it was bought and not cooked on site. The pizza comes in two sizes and the smaller one has an option of an ancient grain crust. The pizza itself was flavourful and my party loved theirs. I was disappointed that they didn't have wings because that's always my go to when visiting pizzerias. The hostess was kind and gave me a side of pimento cheese which helped the taste of the salad. If you like pizza, this is a good local place to try and support.

    Mushroom pizza with veggie bites ( I forget name)
    Kirby N.

    Very nice place on central, ample parking. Inside seating appears closed off, we enjoyed a nice day on the patio. The food is spectacular, I loved how they curated the veggie rolls. The bites came with marinara which complimented it well The pizza was a hit! 7.4 in my book, strong score. The crust was amazing and crisp. They suggested a honey sauce which did make it pop

    10" Cheese Pizza
    Ender Y.

    I was finally able to try Pure Pizza, but I was a little disappointed. I ordered their 10" cheese pizza and 10" margherita pizza. Sadly, they do not do 16" half-and-half. They came out pretty quickly, which was really nice. But they were a lot smaller than some of the pictures I had seen on Yelp. Small size aside, I also thought they tasted simply good, but not great. It's hard to explain, but I think their sauce lacked dimension. Their dough, on the other hand, was very delicious. Seeing as how all their other reviews are generally high, I probably ordered the wrong pizzas. Their specialty pizzas do look yummy, as do their sandwiches. Helpful note: They have you place your order and pay upfront. Then they bring your food to your table. The lady that brought our pizzas out was very kind and brought us napkins. She was also diligently sweeping the floor nonstop, which is no surprise as the entire restaurant was very clean.

We also shared green beans and Brussel sprouts . the green beans were charred on the outside and undercooked ok the inside. The brussel sprouts were cooked to a crisp and lacked flavor. My boyfriend had the OG chicken sandwich and he couldnt finish/ stomach it, this includes the burned fries that were served with it. The restaurant itself is nice, I don't think their AC was working but its got a cool rustic look. Our server was kind and attentive as well. Maybe they had an off day but this was a pretty big waste of a $60+ meal.

On every visit to Charlotte, I stop here 2-3 times, whether it's to meet up with friends and colleagues for lunch, to grab a quite bite before evening plans, to spend happy hours and dinners on that delightful back patio or to pick up that insane vegan dessert I've been craving. I mean, can it get any better than a spread of vegan elote corn, nachos smothered with beans, seitan, guac/queso/crema or my new favorite, the crunch wrap with a glass of something icy cold (I usually get a glass of something sparkling at the back bar). Since my last review almost 5 years ago, they sadly removed the matcha cruffin (that I still can't get out of my head!) and added in an entire display of sugary/spicy/chocolatey greatness (I'm still kicking myself for being too late on my way to the airport to get that lemon bar I'd been eying or the pumpkin BUNDT CAKE, ffs. What is wrong with me?) The sweetest owners, the loveliest staff from front counter to back bar to food runners and bussers. I adore Oh My Soul with every ounce of my being.

Person taking our order was rude. Asked what he would recommend as a side given that we'd never been to the restaurant before. He just listed off all the sides and appeared annoyed by the question. We finished our order and he then cancels the tip screen and I didn't know why. He asks if I want a receipt and I say sure. Then I notice that they have an automatic "service charge" of 15% that isn't advertised anywhere in the restaurant. I'm not necessarily against restaurants doing this but it should be advertised. Also, you should have service if you're going to charge a "service charge." Our service consisted of a counter order and then someone who eventually brought out our food. Water was never even refilled. Vibe of everyone that worked there was angry and aggravated. Multiple people scowled at me walking through the dining room from the kitchen. One worker threw open the kitchen door obviously pissed about something. Everyone in the restaurant was waiting forever for their food and other tables would have one entree come out while the other person at the table waited another 15 minutes for their food. Food was nothing special. My wife liked her Mother Earth bowl which is why I'm giving two stars. My chicken sandwich was something out of a frozen box. Hush puppies and onion rings were standard. We only had water to drink. All of this cost us $54.20 total. Anymore this feels like a standard experience in an American restaurant unless you do someplace high end. Ok food, terrible value, terrible service, and junk fees. Like they're doing you a favor just being there. All of this for a restaurant that, as the walls show, is trying to convince you to become vegan. This won't do it guys. Do better if you really care about bringing people to your cause.

As a New Yorker we have our share of markets/food halls and OH fits the familiar script, with a slightly smaller footprint than what I've experienced.

Nonetheless, to all the foodies at heart those are just minor details for mere mortals... lol. We managed to grab a larger enough table and everyone circled until we made our individual choices and then returned to our central meeting spot to break bread and indulge in all of our finds. We enjoyed several of the eateries we experienced and I was particularly intrigued by the plant store (albeit kinda pricey). Return is a no brainer especially for the places that were most memorable.
