Bird Pizzeria

I have had this place on my radar since it was the only decent looking pizza spot I have found so far in Charlotte. You order on your phone by either visiting their website or scanning the code on their takeout window and then wait patiently. The ticket times are a little long but they are also working out of a small kitchen so it is totally understandable. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating but you can take it to go as well. Just by looks alone, this was a sharp looking pizza. I ordered the plain pie which comes with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil. Coming in at a 16" pie, the value is there for the price you're paying. The pizza had some good char on the bottom, a light crisp, and a good chew to the outer crust. I noticed there were also what looked like bread crumbs in the box. I have heard of some places doing this on the outer or bottom crust but it was used sparingly to not take away from their dough. My only critique was that it just needed a little more oomph to it. I don't know if that needs to be in the sauce or the cheese, but I felt it just needed to be turned up a little more in terms of flavor. Otherwise, the individuals who own the spot were friendly and kept me updated on the status of my order. I got here right at open and they already had people picking up orders so it definitely has a good amount of recognition in the area. It was an interesting location as well because you have this unassuming pizzeria on one side of the road and newer apartments on the other side. It was like two worlds collided but were still living in harmony. If someone had asked me where to go for pizza in Charlotte, I would probably send them here first.

We are literally 30 minutes out from this place but we were super committed to the adventure and an entire drive of rain. Nothing was going to stop me from having amazing pizza! Never been here before but my friend recommended it and since I have not found a great pizza spot in Charlotte, I said what the heck, let's do it. I arrived and got my pie! Seating is outside but covered however with the rain and all we decided to eat in the car. I grabbed my first slice and was absolutely amazed. The pizza was delicious. A great ratio to cheese and sauce. The dough was nice and crisp on the outside but chewy on the inside. I would recommend anyone to stop at this amazing place. Thanks Bird Pizzeria, you made my day!

By far the best NY style Pizza I have had in NC. So if you get the chance to try it you must do it. First things to know they are only open Wednesday -Saturday and only for 4 hours of until they run out of Pizza. Yes run out and the do run out quickly and early. We went on a Friday and they were out of pizza by 6pm. So get there early or advance order. Now onto the food the pizza was crispy very thin slice cooked to near perfection. The cheese and sauce were fantastic, sauce was slightly sweet. We had sausage and mixed red and white onion to me was the perfect toppings. Trust me when I say I am excited about pizza it takes a lot to get me excited, as an Italian from NY. Bon appetite my friends.

So we’ve been in Charlotte long enough to have tried just about every pizza place in town. I’m late to the party at Bird and it’s been my loss. Aside from being a top 3 pizza I’ve had here, I love the unassuming, neighborhood location. There are a few small tables with an enclosed sidewalk if you want to eat on-site but a bulk of the biz is take out. The pie is straight up New Haven style. Thin, crisp crust, amazing sauce, fresh cheese and the standard toppings you’d expect. We picked up a sausage pie with hot honey and it was gone in under 10 minutes. I also love the rustic, torn basil as a garnish. The pepperoni pie also looks legit - we’ll get that on our next visit along with a white pie. Order online because the wait times can be long. That said, if you’re looking for something that reminds you of Sally’s, it’s definitely worth the wait. Parking is fairly easy with street parking and a dirt lot down the block. Service is good and they call out orders to go. If you haven’t been to Bird, you’re missing out.

Delicious,fresh,flavorful,unique are just a few words to describe Bird Pizzeria. These guys put out high quality pizzas every single time. Every ingredient on the pizza taste fresh and you can tell they make their pizzas with love. The service is great too when you place an order the estimated timing is really accurate and when you pick up you pizza the entire team makes you feel welcomed and gives you the feeling that they really care about the product they’re producing. Definitely check out Bird if you’re in Charlotte.
