As many companies return to the office, this is one of the few places open in the Overstreet mall. I ordered the Jamaican Jerk pizza. The chicken was dry. It had some of the flavors I expect in jerk chicken. Not bad but I wasn't overly impressed. If I come back I'll stick to more traditional toppings. read more

I am in there about once a week for myself and/or my coworker. Most of the staff is really great and the pizza is good. It's sad that I had to stop tripping because the cashier is so rude to me every single time I am there! And I tip for takeout! read more

Today when I received my pizza I said what is this.. just bread and veggie toppings and a few tiny dots of meat that you can barely see on the Jamaican jerk pizza. Fortunately Joanna saved the day by explaining the issue and asking to remake the pizza so I can see chicken on the pizza as expected. I appreciate Joanna serving me with love and care. Joanna was determined to make it right and she followed up to make sure I was happy! Joanna, Thank you for all you do everyday !! read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and were so impressed with the diligence of the staff when we expressed we had a gluten allergy, and just how great the food was. No leftovers here. Highly recommend. read more

Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint - 10in small Italian Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Finally made it to Maddio's for lunch. It was so convenient! The menu board was a bit hard to read and only had their newest specials. Even the build-your-own wasn't great because it said to pick three toppings but never provided a list of what toppings there were. Later I noticed these small pizza plates stuck to the side wall adjacent to the menu which listed some of the pizza options still available not on the new menu, but it was nearly impossible to read the ingredients list for those options. On the other hand, the place was kind of like the Subway of pizza. You choose your bread--regular or whole wheat--and size, then you either get one of the pre-decided combinations or you choose your own toppings. Everything was fresh and you could taste that difference. Plus, if you sign up for their rewards program, you get a free 9" pizza just for signing up and it's essentially a buy 10 get one free system. I am really looking forward to coming back and trying their foldwiches which are--you guessed it--taco-like sandwiches made by folding a pizza dough in half (think calzone that doesn't get rolled closed) as well as their breakfast options (although those look a little small). Reasons for not four stars: menu/ordering issues as stated above, slowness of cooking time (there is an order online option which I might try in the future), lack of seating and tables which have residual oil on them (I'm in my work clothes for goodness sake!), and the fact that it cost $0.50 for an extra topping on a 9" pizza when there's more than one inch of topping-less crust (so ~7" of topping space). That's like three olives! Crime!!! Honestly, there is too much uncovered crust on these babies. I'd suggest offering dipping sauce... read more

I order at least once a week. I will no longer order from this establishment due to rudeness of the cashier. The pizza may be good but I will not pay to be talked to in a rude manner. read more

The staff is friendly here, especially Robert. He always has a smile on his face. The pizza and wings are amazing!

Great pizza. Great service. Individual sizes are plenty for one person. Lots of options for vegetarians too.

Great food, great service I ordered the Meatball Calzone and it was even better than I imagined. The meatballs were tasty, the crust had good texture, and the sauce was well seasoned. read more

Awful service!!!! I was the last customer of the evening and the staff was more worried about closing down than preparing the order properly. I ordered a Margarita pizza and they didn't include basil, then yanked the undercooked pizza from the over too soon so it was under cooked. I advised the attendant that it was undercooked and she said it was not. The "manager" came over and said "it is not undercooked" when it visibly was. Then he told me to come back the next day because they where "trying to close the store". But they had no problem taking the order and the payment Never again!!!!! read more

The music is so loud that you can't have good food and good conversation. We asked if they could turn it down a notch and were ignored. Also, the "greeter" is annoying, tries to take your food away before you're finished and has horrible jokes. Won't be back!! read more

Great pizza and fairly quick during business lunch rush hours. Friendly staff. I love the bbq chicken pizza on wheat.

I ordered via the Yelp app for delivery to my hotel. The food arrived 25 minutes later than the projected time. When the driver arrived - she said she noticed the order was missing my salad and called the manager. They responded that it was all too late - they were closed. No salad. Surprised by the lack of service and willingness to correct their error. It was at 7:30pm. Not something like 1am. Seriously. read more

I would argue that uptown Charlotte is fairly limited in its range of lunch time options, so it was a great change for my buddies and I to try something new like Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint. I'll point out that the culinary competition is rather low in the overstreet mall considering the only three restaurants next to Maddio's are Chick Fil A, Salsarita's and Just Fresh (all equally mediocre). "How Do You Roll" lasted a couple of months here, but its presence dissipated in a matter of days once people realized their "sushi" was 98% rice and ridiculously overpriced. On the other hand, Maddio's deserves to be in a class of its own because Fast Casual restaurants are hard to find around here (you pretty much just have Noodles & Co., Chipotle, Jason's Deli and Vappiano's... and that's like all Charlotte has to offer in this segment). Maddio's showcased item is of course, its pizza and I'll admit that I was pleasantly surprised. I'm a huge fan of thin crust pizza, and having just come back from Milan, I'm always searching (perhaps in vain) for that same delicious and savory crunch I experienced there. Nevertheless, my favorite part of a pizza is its tomato sauce and I really liked the version they have here. You can smell fresh garlic and perhaps some basil? It's also not too watery or dry. There are other sauces I have yet to try... I was eyeing the "tomato bbq". As far as pizza crusts go, this one is certainly acceptable. It's very crisp and holds its shape when you pick up a slice. I do like this pizza much better than Vappiano's which a bit more doughy and its tomato sauce tends to be over salted. Disclaimer: You can't expect pizza at a fast casual joint like this to be as good as a wood-fired pizza from your favorite Italian restaurant because, let's be real, you wouldn't be able to churn something like that out with the same efficiency that they have here. I only waited 5-6 minutes for my pizza to arrive steaming hot to my table (I tried the spicy Italian on traditional crust - you could also go for the wheat option). For what it is (a $7 - $8 individual pizza), you'll find yourself eating every last slice. Toppings are varied and fairly good quality - you can even create your own pizza. I like that you can see your pizza being made through the glass window, so you know exactly what you're about to eat. The salad we ordered paled in comparison to the pizza and some of the sandwich options I saw at people's tables, but that could just be because they stuck to a simple salad menu with generic dressings that every other restaurant has. I think I'll just stick to pizzas when I come here. There are lots of options for everyone and if you have that "I've tried one pizza, I've tried them all" mentality, Uncle Maddio's just might make you rethink that philosophy. 4/5 read more

I give Uncle Maddio's 5 Stars for concept and execution and an A-OK for the pizza for a solid 4 star total. The decor is bright and cheerful and the whole assembly line fashion with which they run through the line, have you order and pay is impressive. Everyone I came in contact with through the process was friendly and helpful. The pizza itself offers a great variety of toppings, sauces as well as three crust options. There are also plenty of gluten free choices. For me the toppings went from pepperoni (nothing special) to meatballs (good) to (carmelized onions (good to have the choice and they tasted good). The just meh parts were the tomato basil sauce which was much too sweet for my taste buds and the crust which is nice and thin and crispy but lacks that chew that great thin crust should have. I also got a side Caesar Salad and while a little small for $2.99, it was good with homemade dressing. All in all, Uncle Maddio's is a decent new lunch option Uptown that should have some staying power. read more

The newest addition to uptown decided to make their opening 'free pizza' day....which was fine by me since I love anything free:-). The staff was very energetic and worked pretty fast despite the opening crowd. I ordered a wheat crust pizza with garlic infused olive oil, spinach, mushrooms, and tomatoes. The veggie toppings are endless and all garden fresh. The crust is thin and crisp, but lacks in flavor. Overall a good pizza but I think I may opt for a salad on my next visit. read more

Every pizza at Maddio's is made with love and I believe it. This place is set up like an assembly line. You start with choosing from 3 types of crust, traditional, wheat, or gluten free. Next, sauce is added to your pizza. I always ask for extra sauce because it's very robust. Included in the price of your $7 pizza are three toppings. There are several options and they are fresh vegetables. If you ask for heavy toppings, they generally won't nickel and dime you. Your pizza is then slid in the oven to bake. While this is happening, you'll be given a number on a plastic circle and told "Thanks, this was made with love" by the..... seasoned lady who's been working at Maddio's since it opened. Next, you go to the cashier and pay. Find a seat or a space to stand and your pizza will be brought to you based on the number you're given. During prime lunch hours, Maddio's can get very crowded, so be prepared to wait if you're looking for a seat. Never a bad experience here. Always good food. Always good service. read more

Went here for lunch..service was good fast to order and really friendly and nice. Loaded my pizza with a good amount of toppings. I also ordered a side of wings which is why the 4 star the photos of the wings on the ads are huge nice size wings but the wings that we're brought out we're like Pinky and just didn't have enough meat on the bones or anything. That was the only unfortunate piece of it. read more

I love me some pizza! and this place is definitely a go to place for cheap and quick pizza. I have been here about 5 times and the pizza has never disappointed me! I love this place because you can create your own pizza right in front of you! They also have and amazing preset specialty menu with a wide variety of styles and tastes. The only negative is I tried a panini style chicken salad sandwich, and it was a bit of a disappointment. I would be cautious of getting their sandwiches but I probably just chose a bad sandwich. Anyways this place is amazing for pizza, and I will be back very frequently! Enjoy! read more

Even though I kinda miss the Sbarro's in the Overstreet Mall this place is a definite upgrade. I think it replaced the bagel place, but I'm not too sure without doing some more research... the fact that I can't remember what was in place before probably says a lot. I only got a salad, but the places concept really intrigued me... personal pizza made right in front of you. Went during the tail end of the lunch rush so there wasn't much of a line, but you could tell the workers were just "bouncing" back from a busy busy period. They were still friendly and I was surprised how much chicken I received in my Santa Fe Salad. The house made, chipotle ranch dressing was pretty darn good - had the right amount of kick and they put it in containers so I had some control over how much dressing went on my salad. Will have to come back and try their pizza, but their salad is definitely a solid lunch option for me and I will be back! read more

For a lunch spot, Uncle Maddio's hits the spot. It is a great place for fast and decent pizza that is made in front of you as you walk down a line selecting your ingredients (think Subway subs ordering process). Atmosphere - Loud, busy, small...fast casual. Service - I have been here twice and the service has always been fast and friendly, despite the Uptown lunch rush. Yes, on one visit I did notice the employees get someone's order wrong and it took some effort to get it resolved...but hey...it wasn't mine...ha! Food - There are a lot of options here at Maddio's when ordering your custom made personal pizza pie. Dough: First, you've got to select your dough. I have had both the original dough (see pic) and the wheat dough (never tried the Gluten Free). Based on my experience...get the wheat dough. The original dough was too chewy and tough (i.e. leathery). It reminded me of how I feel the crust at Fuel Pizza gets after about 20 minutes out of the oven. However, the wheat dough at Uncle Maddio's is soft and easy to eat. Sauce: Both times I chose the Tomato-Basil, which has a nice and noticeable flavor. I did not need to add anything to make this sauce standout. Cheese: Yes, there a few options here too. But it's pizza...you've got to get the Mozzarella...so I did. Toppings: You get to choose three. The two times I was here I got the same three toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, and banana peppers). I am happy to the report that the mushrooms at Maddio's are sliced fresh and NOT the watery canned variety...which IMHO are awful. Price - Personal pizza w/ a drink is about right at $10. Not too bad for the size of the pie you receive here. Overall - I have Uncle Maddio's in my lunch rotation...I think you should too. read more

I can't in per an email I received from the company stating ANY pizza was 6.99 today. I printed the email, brought it in, and was still told by the manager Angel Sotomayor that the person who out in the email blast put it in wrong and it's ONLY for the Midtown location. In all my years of business and customer service, IF you send something in WRITING, you should honor that. Also, IF the person whom sent the email blast did not properly send out the correct information, HOW IS THAT THE CUSTOMER'S FAULT? It was the difference of a dollar, BUT it's the principal especially when I come here often and order for my team as well instead of going to the other pizza restaurants in the area. Quite disappointed in the "customer service". read more

I think the biggest thing Uncle Maddio's has going for it also happens to be its biggest downfall: the speed. I showed up with a few co-workers during the lunch rush, and despite the long line they were very efficient at taking orders and getting everyone through the line. The pizzas were also delivered very quickly to the table, probably after only 5-7 minutes. While I was really impressed by the speed during the lunch hour, I think it definitely affected the quality somewhat. The pizza crust is thin, which I love- if done right, but Maddio's thin crust doesn't hold up to the amount of toppings and you end up with a thin and flimsy piece where your toppings are likely to fall off. I was also disappointed in the amount of cheese they gave me and they were very inconsistent between the amount of sauce and cheese given to me and my co-workers. They also piled the toppings in the middle of the pizza, which provides a few awesome bites that are really cheesy and loaded with toppings and some that are floppy dough and sauce only. The tomato basil sauce was okay but I was definitely happier after topping with some oregano and red pepper flakes to give it a bit of flavor that it lacked. I topped my pizza with jerk chicken, sauteed peppers, and portobello mushrooms. The mushrooms and peppers were what you would expect and were decent, but the "jerk" chicken was bland and definitely not as spicy or flavorful as I expected. I was pretty happy with the service since the workers were nice and were pretty efficient about everything, but the pizza quality just wasn't top notch. read more

Great pizza place if you prioritize toppings over crust, as the crust is paper thin and the toppings are abundant. Seriously, it's amazing that the flatbread crust is even able to support the weight of the heaping mountain of meat and veggies. Very customizable too with a lot of options for crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings. Today I got a custom pizza with wheat crust, garlic olive oil sauce, mozzarella cheese, and grilled chicken, bacon, and pineapple as the toppings. The ingredients taste really fresh and my toppings went well with the garlic olive oil sauce (more so than with the tomato basil that I usually order). This place gets really busy at lunch time, but there is a very efficient process that keeps the line moving. Don't be surprised if your pizza lasts for 2 meals. read more

I eat here often. The staff is not welcoming and rushes you to order. No smiles. I asked for wings ala cart and was told they don't do that which is totally fine. I get to the register to pay and the cashier isn't in a nice mood either. I asked speak to the manager about his staff attitude, turns out his attitude is the same. Which is very unfortunate. I told him they could be more welcoming and have better customer service. He goes on to talk about this wings. I told him "sir what does thing wings have to do with anything I didn't even mention wings to you just now". I don't care about the wings, love all the food here. I don't think I will eat here any more though. read more

This place can get pretty busy during lunch time. This was my first time here. The gentleman who took my order was nice and friendly and didn't rush me at all. He accommodated me without any questions. I had the margarita pizza with extra extra fresh mozzarella. You watch them put all the ingredients on your pizza and then they put it in the over. Pay and grab a seat to wait for your order to come to you. My pizza was deliciously cheesy. Had a great crust to it which wasn't so thick nor thin just the right consistency for me. It had a little too much olive oil but that's ok. I ate it al! The place is kept clean with a worker walking around picking up folks trays and trash. A must try if you like pizza. read more

My mgr was planning on a team pizza happy hour kind of celebration after work & chose Maddio's as her place Not sure exactly what made her choose here over Libretto's - who in my opinion has awesome pizza PLUS they deliver.....Maddio's doesn't! So ordering 7 pizzas required several of us to walk over & schlep it all back to the office The pies were all of the thin variety & the crusts were pretty flimsy-floppy. And I'll admit I'm a thick crust fan but I can definitely appreciate a thin crust ...but at least give me something that will stand on it's own & not drop the toppings all over the plate Flavor was okay - had better, had worse. The sauce to cheese ratio was average as well - nothing remarkable We had a lot of leftovers, ranging from the standard pepperoni, to meat-lovers, to veggie & the team was happy to finish up the bunch, the following day for lunches - but I didn't partake. Happy Hour tastings were enough for me So overall, this was a decent assortment of pizzas but I'd personally seek elsewhere before coming back read more

Extremely happy with my visit to Uncle Maddio's in the Overstreet Mall. The line can be a little long during the lunch rush, but what place in Overstreet isn't? I thought it moved quick enough that I wasn't pressed for time during a "normal" lunch break. Love the options you have for the pizza. I did a wheat crust (also has regular and gluten free), then got to pick my own sauce and toppings. Price isn't too bad for a personal pizza made fresh for lunch. Could use some more seating to the intense lunch rush, but other than that I didn't have anything negative to say about it. Also, if you like their facebook page you can get a coupon for a free pizza with three toppings. read more

A star among the otherwise limited options available in the Overstreet Mall, Uncle Maddio's serves delicious pizza, at a decent price, quickly and with a smile. Pizzas, sandwiches and salads are made to order right out in front of customers so you can see everything that's going on. Maddios uses a modern conveyor style oven for their pizzas, so once yours is on the belt it's probably 8-10 minutes before it's coming out, piping hot and then straight to you. I tried the Steak & Blue pizza on my first visit, and it was so delicious I haven't been able to convince myself to order anything different on subsequent visits. You have a choice of white, wheat or gluten free crusts. Some people might get a little nervous about Blue Cheese on a pizza, but it's not overpowering and the balsamic glaze drizzled on after the pizza comes out of the oven creates a perfect flavor profile. The line forms quickly at lunch, and for good reason. From my desk in a nearby office building to Maddios and back with my carryout order it takes roughly 20 or so minutes, which gives me plenty of time to enjoy my pizza before my next meeting. The staff is incredibly friendly and efficient. They move fast and they have smiles on their faces. I've never seen a sullen person working at Uncle Maddios. The only downside is that the restaurant gets very crowded and there is almost never a table available, but I can't really fault the restaurant for being so popular. read more

I was really surprised at how good this place is. Especially for being in a food court type area, and they have lots of seating. They offer made to order pizzas where you see them cutting up the dough in front of you, and you get to select your fresh toppings, before they place in the over and then deliver to your table. The individual pizza is perfect size for lunch and you can choose between 3 different crust types (original, wheat or gluten free). The staff are super friendly staff too. I would give them more stars, but as you can see in my other reviews, I really am a pizza connoisseur. read more

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! MADE WITH LOVE! Did you know that I LOVE this place?? If you are uptown and walking through the Overstreet Mall, you HAVE to eat here. It's small, but they they fit a lot of tables in there. All pizzas are cooked to order, but you only have to wait a few minutes. I did the 'pick your own' where you pick your crust, sauce, and anything 3 toppings. I tried the gluten free crust with red sauce and grilled chicken on top. LOVE! The gluten free is delicious. They have a couple of desserts at the register. I tried the gluten free one, don't bother. Go straight to the chocolate cola cake slice. Yum. I thought about sprinkling it on my pizza then controlled myself. Why can't Uncle Maddio be my uncle? As for the staff, it's a place where people actually like to work! They smile and tell you that your pizza was make with LOVE. When was the last time someone told you they made something for you with love? Anyone? That's what I thought. :) read more
