Not only do we LOVE pizza, but we are great at judging it!
Here are our reviews from pizza joints we have tried. We have mostly focused around Charlotte but more reviews from across the United States are coming soon! Feel free to reach out to us with suggestions.

Our Scoring System
For the scorings, we judged cheese pizzas on both appearance and taste. Your first impression of a pizza is how it looks, since a pizza should have some contrast—red sauce, golden-brown crust, and maybe a pop of green from basil. The most important thing is a great pizza needs some cheese but not too much. As for taste, the key is balance. The crust, sauce, and cheese all need to be in harmony. If the pizza is drowning in cheese and you can’t taste the sauce or crust, something’s gone wrong. Cooking also plays a crucial role. You need that crispy bottom and slightly charred top with just the right amount of bubbles. It takes skill to get it right, and many places fall short, leaving you with a floppy, chewy slice that risks losing its toppings with each bite.
- 10 – Best we’ve ever had.
- 9 – Amazing, I’m in love.
- 8 – Great pizza, worth a 45-minute drive into Uptown.
- 7 – Good pizza I like a lot—our “daily driver” pizza, a go-to I’d eat any day of the week.
- 6 – I’d eat it again if close by, but I wouldn’t go out of my way.
- 5 – Meh, probably won’t go back, but it was still pizza.
- 4 – I wasn’t a fan.
