Davinci’s Pizza

Quiet spot serving fresh NY style staples. Friendly and quick service. Very reasonable prices. Pizza isn’t as flavorful as some other NY style spots around town, but it’s delish and we’ll be back!

Customer service was semi-​friendly.
Pizza slices were huge, and filled with lots of pepperoni (major plus!!) HOWEVER… It was super super greasy. Literally had to soak about 20 napkins in the grease to be able to eat a slice. The pizza sauce tasted like something from the grocery store, or maybe Pizza Hut (not homemade). The cheese was rubbery, but there was a lot of it — so that’s a silver lining right?
I wasn’t very impressed, especially considering the great reviews. I expected more. I’ve had better pizza in Charlotte for cheaper.

This is our favorite go to place when we are busy. The pizza is great but everything else on the menu is too. It stays busy but not so busy that you have to wait very long. Fantastic food at great prices! The people that work here care about customer satisfaction, are friendly and efficient.

So sad that we did not eat here sooner! The cheese to sauce ratio was perfect! Garlic knots on point! It really was like my hometown Ny pizzeria. We will be back again soon! They do offer delivery, but we dined in.

when you go to a restaurant and spend 80 bucks of your hard earned cash and you ask for a cup of water and they do not give it to you. it happened to me. well that shows what kind of people you are dealing with there pizza is salty and there sauce is thin they are trying really hard to be like NYC pizza but do not cut the mustard. and there service is awful take the family somewhere else steer away from this place.

I was so excited to try this place after reading the great reviews and it was a cheat day for me. I was greatly disappointed. I ordered garlic knots and a stromboli. The knots were hard and did not have any taste felt as if i was eating regular bread rolls. The stromboli was soggy, greasy and fell apart when I picked it up. I felt as if it was not cooked all the way. This place did not live up to the hype and not worth the calories. I will not return.

Honestly just some of the best pizza since moving to Charlotte. NY style pizza. Thin crust, bigger than your face slices and simple, delicious slices.
They offer slices and whole pies. The calzones here really make me happy in my tummy. The sauce on the side is a perfect balance of sweet and tangy. And it’s filled with tons of ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
They do deliver but only to a limited three miles. But call in and pick up your order, other wise you’ll be sure to wait a bit.
A small here is like a large at papa johns. They have pasta which I have to try but I’ve seen dishes and they look amazing too.

Grabbed two pep slices while on lunch. They were thin NY style and were very tasty. I went in to this restaurant hoping to get a couple Sicilian Slices knowing they make Sicilian pies but they do not have Sicilian Slices. Too bad. Would be five stars if they did have Sicilian Slices during lunch time (11:00−1:00 maybe)

BEST PIZZA in the Charlotte area! The employees are also awesome! :) Definitely my favorite lunch stop!

My wife and I both enjoy New York style pizza and this is the best in Charlotte. The crust is crisp and the interior is chewy if you ask them for it well done they will get a nice browning on the cheese

This review is about:
— pizza by the slice combos (cheese and pepperoni)
— lasagna
— pizza made to order
I love their pizzas when they are just out of the oven so I recommend to go with friends, colleagues or family and get a whole pie. Their smallest (16″) is enough for three people. I sometimes go with a colleague and we can never finish the smallest pie just between the two of us, which isn’t too bad either because the leftovers will freeze beautifully.
Their pizza by the slice is also very good but they reheat it in the oven and sometimes it is not awesome but just very good. You may keep that in mind and ask them not to reheat it for too long.
As for the lasagna, my advice (surprisingly) is not to get it, because it isn’t worth it. It is also too large a meal since it comes with a salad and garlic knots.

Davinci’s Pizza chefs are true artists with crust, sauce, and cheese. If you’re looking for great NY style pizza, stromboli, and sandwiches look no further. Great service in a no nonsense setting. Order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. everything was hot and fresh. the dough was crisp, perfectly cooked, and flavorful. Italian sausage sub was hot, the bread was tender and crisp and the sausage was perfection. Outdoor seating is very nice and the price is right. Go check them out… soon.

Pizza is so good. I love that you can get pizza by the slice. Their pretty big so don’t order to many ! Garlic knots are really good too

Delicious Pizza as big as a small child? What can really go wrong?
Great, unique flavor, cheap and casual dinning: fantastic!

From reading other Unilocal reviews and with Davinci’s being only 5 minutes from my hotel, I decided to give it try.
First off, the slices here are huge. I took the picture people took for granted, I got the 2 slice with drink combo. After having both, it filled me for the whole day. The pizza is very thin and sauce is sweet. Having tried NY’s pizza, this is probably the closest thing in Charlotte that’s comparable to it. If you’re in the area try it for sure.
I was skeptical, but the first bite won me over.

Love NY Style, and it’s not easy to find around here. They don’t offer margherita pizza, which seriously bums me out. The closest they can do is tomato, extra cheese, and spinach. They don’t have fresh basil or mozzarella.
The crust is great! The spinach must have been frozen, because it was super wet. They offer beer in the restaurant and have a couple tv’s. The turn around was really quick. Slices are huge.
If I were into just basic pepporini, this place would be great. Anything fresh, you’re SOL.

This is my FAVORITE pizza in Charlotte. I am from upstate NY and love a good New York style pizza. The slices of pizza are HUGE. They have a couple «combos» such as 2 slices and a drink or 1 slice, salad, and a drink, or sub and drink. The combos are in the $ 7 – 10 range, so very reasonable for lunch OR dinner (you can get the combo all day long). I usually go for the slice and salad combo. The salads are pretty good, and they give you enough ranch for the ever important dipping of your crust at the end! I have also ordered whole pies for takeout and they are just as good when you take them home or eat in the restaurant.
It is a very casual, family friendly pizza shop with booths and tables. The staff is friendly and if you order anything in the restaurant will bring it out to you after you order at the counter. I have gotten delivery once or twice, and it usually arrives 45 mins to an hour after ordering (this was on a busier weekend night).
If you like a good New York style pizza — this is the place for you!

My favorite white pizza in CLT, and great meatballs too. Teresa always seems to be there taking orders, she is awesome.

Good pizza. Huge portions. Calzone was large enough for 4 people to share. Cannoli was made to order. Fresh fried shell and perfect hand piped filling.
A casual place with DIY drinks and plastic ware. Reminds me of small town parlors in NY.

Awesome hole in the wall find! Everything we tried was awesome.
PIZZA is thin and crispy, but the dough has some chew after the initial crunch — exactly how I like it! We tried cheese with banana peppers and meatball/​pepperoni/​onions. When we return, we will probably stick with plain cheese. The only negative to our entire meal was that the onions were placed raw on top of the pepperoni/​meatball slice. Those really should have been put on the slice prior to heating up in the oven.
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA Hot Sub: The eggplant slices were a bit thick for my liking, but overall the sandwich was delicious. Great bread! The hot sub ordinarily comes with fried eggplant, cheese and marinara only. However, I ordered it with lettuce tomato and mayonnaise on top, and it was perfect!
CANNOLI: one of the best I’ve ever had. The cannoli shell is made in-​house and it has a subtle cinnamon flavor that makes it unique. It’s super crispy, and a perfect base for the not-​overly-​sweet cream filling.
SERVICE: the young girl working the register is a perfect representative for this business. She was helpful and patient when I asked questions about the menu. She provided plenty of information which helped me make my decisions. And she jokingly told me bye and that she’d see me tomorrow. Makes me want to go back tomorrow. :)
The guy behind the counter slinging the dough seems legit. There were a steady stream of customers the entire hour we were there, but the guys in the back were friendly and unruffled.
EATING IN: nothing fancy here, just 10 or so booths, fluorescent lighting and a soda machine.
This is a great place in the north Charlotte area. If you’re around the mall, don’t waste time at the food court; take a short drive to DaVinci’s instead. You won’t be disappointed.
