Pizzeria Omaggio

The pizza is amazing, the ingredients are fresh and good quality the service is very good and the place is super clean. I had the meatball Pizza which I had never had in my life before and it was amazing, I also tried a version of the white pizza with Mushrooms and Ham and that was YUM! …
I’m a pizza lover and I can tell you that this is in my top list for pizza. About the dough it was tasty and crispy, because I wanted it well done It didn’t feel heavy on my stomach after I ate it and didn’t gain to much weight LOL…
I also tried the Eggplant Sub and the
bruschetta and again there were amazing. I will definetly go back and not to forget the Tiramisu WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

Came here on a random Saturday to use our groupon! They have pretty yummy gourmet pizza. The pesto chicken one was good, but we really liked the trio the best! Wait time was around 10m or less for 2 pizzas (6 slices each! Bigger than we thought) also Got the mini cannoli dessert. Homemade … Pretty delicious, crispy and has quite the hint or orange zest!
The staff is super friendly! Probably one of the nicest staff in Charlotte! Very accompanying and attentive :) not sure many people know about this place! Just be prepared to dish out 15 $ for a pizza!

This was my fist time eating here and I would definitely come back ;) The pizza was delicious and the service was outstanding ;)

We have lived in Charlotte for about 2 years, and so far this is the best pizza we have come across. The sauce is awesome and fresh mozzarella! We love crispy thin crust and that’s something they could work on, maybe cooking it a little longer or pre cook the crust? Either way yummy fresh food!

Staff was friendly!!! The restaurant environment is modern and super clean.
The pizza crust was delicious and really thin, which is exactly what we like.
The lunch price is a good deal, but it would be tough to pay full price for dinner.
We would definitely go back again for lunch!

Today stopped here by to try pizza this time! Excellent pizza of the month for December! Capricciosa with artichokes, ham, mushrooms and olives! Great combination of flavors!

Pizza was delicious — relatively quick, fresh ingredients, nice sauce to cheese ratio. Antipasto was light and perfect size for two couples. Italian beer on draft. Very friendly, attentive service. Relaxed atmosphere

This place took me by surprise, I met a buddy here the other night for dinner — definitely solid. When my friend said pizza place at the MET, I was confused and figured out this place was «new». I had some errands to run in the same shopping center so I braved the parking deck (not my favorite) and got everything done and met for dinner.
First impressions: They had just had a «grand opening» celebration so there were balloons out on the patio, seems like everyone had cleared out and we were greeted by the staff very warmly. I felt pretty lost as far as what to do, but the young lady manning the cash register saw us and asked if we had been here before… She gave us the run down of the menu and her recommendations.
You order at the counter and are given a number and then you sit and wait for your pizza/​food. We had ordered beer (3 taps here) and they have a small selection of bottles/​cans. Since they weren’t terribly busy, they brought them to us. I ordered the Eggplant Tower as an appetizer and the Pizza Rustica (sucker for arugula here). Since I checked in with the Unilocal-​app… there was a free mini canoli (s) dessert. Everything came out super quickly and cooked to perfection. Our plates were clean and we did not leave hungry.
Pizzas are about 11 inches and are a good size for one person — all the ingredients are fresh and on thin crust. I did spend about $ 30 bucks, but that was including a beer and an appetizer… pizza prices range about $ 9-​$ 15 depending on your toppings, etc. The nice lady manning the register came by frequently to take away plates, refill our drinks, and ask how everything was. Overall a great first impression. Hopefully they are able to keep it up since I’ve now found out the previous tenants of the space was also a pizza place that didn’t fare so well.

The Arugula salad is VERY good. I went back two days in a row to get one. I do wish the pizza had a bit more flavor… maybe seasoning the crust would knock it out of the park!
The customer service is great and I will be back for more salad and even some pizza from time to time. The ingredients are fresh and I liked that.

10÷1÷15 UPDATE:
Finally ate AT Omaggio instead of doing take away. It’s even better in person. They just recently got their beer & wine license. We enjoyed a Triple C IPA (for him) and an amazing bottle of Sangiovese (for me)! The meatballs and ricotta with garlic knots for dipping are our go-​to. So good!
9÷10÷15 UPDATE:
We went back for more takeout late tonight. Despite breezing in just 30 minutes before closing, everyone greeted us like we were old friends and they just couldn’t be happier to see us! They not only remembered my boyfriend from the previous visit a week+ ago, they also remembered his name and order. It’s so rare to find a place with both amazing food AND service. This place really has it all. As promised, we ordered a pizza with less toppings. (See below for my review of the Omaggio Special — good but weighed down with too much stuff.) This time we had just sausage and arugula — my favorite pizza from my time in Italy. It did not disappoint, even made me a little homesick for Tuscany and my favorite pizzeria in Ponsacco! We also had the meatballs and ricotta. Trust me on this one. You MUST order the meatballs and ricotta. It is melt in your mouth delicious. They threw in an order of garlic knots on the house just because. Remember what I said about the outstanding service? If you haven’t already enjoyed a meal here, go now!
⁹⁄₁ ORIGINAL REVIEW:
We had take out from Omaggio Tuesday night. The antipasti was a delicious mix of cured meats, marinated veggies and Italian cheeses. We ordered the special pizza (like a glorified supreme) with sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms & onions. I wish we’d ordered something different, with less toppings as the pizza felt kind of heavy and the crust/​sauce/​cheese were over shadowed by all the other stuff. We’ll be back for sure and I look forward to trying out the Margherita or maybe the Pear & Gorgonzola oh! or the Classico… You get the idea. ;)

I’m perplexed how this place is at a 4.5 star review due to the fact that the Charlotte Observer along with several other reviews pegged it for the pizza that it brings to the table.
My friends and I walked into this really nice restaurant and ordered a few of their pizzas. The service was good, the restaurant is clean, but the food (pizzas) are lacking.
There was absolutely no seasoning on the crust or the sauce and I am not one to enjoy an over seasoned pizza, however, there was no flavor to the pie.
Nothing really unique about the pizza and to be honest I probably won’t be back. Garlic knots were subpar as well. Nothing special, just a nice restaurant with good service but underwhelming food.

I was in NC for business and wanted some pizza… some real pizza. Read good things about this place so decided to try it out… and so happy I did! Living part of the year in Italy, I can say that this is as close as it gets to get true authentic Pizza in the US.
The service is good, simple and polite. Not perfect as they just opened, however they all seemed to give their heart to the product and to the customer, which for me is key.
The restaurant is cozy and clean, the Wifi worked well and although it was busy I did not feel like I was overwhelmed.
I would not be surprised if Charlotte will have many more Omaggio’s in town.

As the third pizza place in this location, you’d think it to be the «charm.» Not so much. They are trying a bit too hard to be an upscale restaurant in a flyby space. Having heard great things, I decided to give it a try for lunch. Upon entering I pull out my laptop at the bar as I await my order’s arrival. No WiFi. #fail These days you must offer WiFi. It’s just a part of the customer experience. Had I been able to sit and do my work, I may have ordered a dessert, a coffee, etc.
Once my pizza came, I had elementary school flashbacks. Although a good size for the price, the quality was lacking. Other than school cafeteria pizza-​esk, I’m not really sure how to describe it.
A manager, or perhaps the owner, kept asking everyone how everything was. Common restaurant practice, but in a space so small with so few customers, it felt forced and odd. Of course I’m going to tell you everything was good. Especially when you have the look of a child that may burst in to tears if I tell you just how sloppy your first coloring project really is. He needed to exude a bit more confidence and give a bit more space. Once I started to pack up my leftover pizza, he came by to tell me that he hoped I didn’t feel rushed by the service associate that brought me a togo box. I had to reassure him that I asked for the box, for I feared he may go chastise the poor girl. How long did you expect me to hang around anyhow? Should I have brought a tent? Chill dude, it’s only lunch.
Prior to going in, having seen several positive reviews and being a pizza fanatic, I debated with a friend how long this place would last. I had faith. He did not. After my personal dining experience, I sadly have to agree with my friend. Although I wish them well, I’m just not so sure this place will live up to the hype.

THIS is REAL pizza. Roman pizza. The way it is supposed to be made. I have read people in other reviews (elites even) talking about how the crust isn’t salty enough and the sauce isn’t loaded with this or that and comparing this place to Mellow Mushroom, or Fusion. Omaggio is not them. Omaggio is authentic.
True Roman pizza is built on a simple, sweet crust, with a simple, homemade tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese that all act as the foundation for the flavor explosion of fresh toppings. Omaggio is exactly this. Simple, balanced and perfect.
People who are fans of the over seasoned, over spiced chain restaurants will probably take a few visits to truly appreciate the clean flavor of a truly authentic homemade Roman style pizza. This is not the Americanized, in-​your-​face, oversaturated pizza you are used to. This is pizza in its truest, original form.
But this place is not just about the pizza, the antipasti is incredible and every sandwich on the menu is filling and satisfying. The garlic rolls are actually GARLIC rolls, not just little bread knots with a little oil and garlic sprinkled on them. The cannoli is so fresh and crunchy you’d have had to make it yourself to get it any quicker. The atmosphere is the same as the food: simple, clean, beautiful, elegant, comfortable. You will never have anything less than a wonderful experience with service here.
The Siragusa family who owns and operates Omaggio is legendary in Miami with multiple award winning pizzerias and Italian restaurants. Best Pizza in Miami, Best Authentic Pizza in Florida, Best Garlic Rolls every year, the list goes on and on. They have a track record of greatness, which is on full display here at Omaggio. Prepare you palette for a simple, artistic, passionate meal made in true Roman Italian fashion.

We were so excited to order pizza from here, since Revolution Pizza and Pizza Fusion closed down in the same location. I’m not sure what it is about this spot that pizza places crave, but I almost feel like you are doomed to setup another pizza joint here.
We ordered a pizza on a Saturday night and picked it up to go, since we live around the corner. The people at Pizza Omaggio are extremely nice, so we were pleased with the service and how quickly the pizza and garlic rolls came out to us.
The garlic rolls were very garlicky and buttery, but almost too much. I ate a half of one and threw the rest out. My husband had two and enjoyed them more than I did.
However, we both agreed that the pizza was extremely lacking in flavor. We ordered the Rustico pizza and even added roasted red peppers, but it did not kick up the flavor of this unseasoned recipe. Another Unilocal elitist was spot on… The marinara tasted like watered down tomatoes. There was also a full salad of arugula on top of the pizza (to perhaps hide the unflavored crust).
Unfortunately, we will be ordering pizza elsewhere from now on. I hate to say it, but it seems as though this place will face the same doom as the pizza joints before it.

The Mr and I were excited to try a brand new pizza spot in the neighborhood so we walked in mid-​afternoon on a Friday to see what was up. We were greeted by friendly staff and were quite impressed with the décor and ordering counter setup.
Our selection was a 4 cheese pizza and one with eggplant, red pepper and balsamic as well as a couple of canned drinks.
This is where it got disappointing. From my first bite of pizza I realized that something was missing.
Salt.
Yep. The crust was just boring. No flavor (although the texture was really nice).
The pizza toppings were fine… or would have been, had they been properly seasoned. The balsamic was somehow not piquant at all.
I waited for the Mr’s reaction and it was identical to mine. We both covered our pizzas in what our friends’ kids call «shakey cheese» or the table-​side Parmesan that was brought out with our meal. Honestly, it was one of the only ways we made it through.
So here we were, wondering if we had missed something because both our pizzas were sauce-​less. Maybe if we had ordered a pie with their marinara, the salinity of the sauce would have perked things up.
So the Mr walked back up to the counter and asked for some of their marinara.
And it tasted like unseasoned stewed tomatoes.
Service is impeccable.
Space is perfect.
Setup is simple.
Food…well, maybe we just went on an off day. I know they’re probably working out some kinks.
Go see for yourself. Maybe you’ll have a different experience than we did.

Went in because the area around smells divine. They dont have slices but their pizzas are small, 11inches. Still too much food for me on the go so I had the italiano sándwich, which had soft firm bread, very good and was very tasty. I had asked for the chips but there was a miscommunication and got the salad (which is fresh and good). But I really wanted chips and the manager said no problem and brought me chips. And they were fast. I will be back to taste rhe pizza.

So glad that we finally got around to trying this place! We stopped here for a quick dinner on a Monday night, and it far exceeded our expectations!
First of all, they did a fantastic job with the upfit and décor of this place — the atmosphere is perfect. Laid back and sophisticated without being too stuffy or too casual. The menu was clearly very well thought out, sourcing only the best ingredients, and wasn’t overwhelming at all.
We ordered the Pear & Gorgonzola pizza, the Di Parma pizza, and had limoncello sorbetto & cheesecake for dessert. Can’t say enough good things about the pizza! Light, authentic, the perfect balance of cheese and quality toppings, and the crust was awesome! It hit the spot without making you feel overwhelmingly full. Same goes for the delicious dessert— so glad we ordered the sorbetto, it was the perfect ending to the meal!
The staff was fantastic as well. We got to meet the owner, and Sal (the manager), and they were both phenomenal! You can tell that they care a lot about their customers, and about the quality of the food that they’re serving.
We will definitely be back here, and look forward to spreading the word and supporting such a great little place!

Cute little pizza place. New and in a great spot at the MET. I wasn’t all that impressed with the food. Garlic rolls were hot but too garlicky and super crunchy. The Caesar salad was average. Maybe even less than average. And we ordered a white pizza. Fresh ingredients but def not incredible. Nothing blew us away. Everything was average. Not going to lie, I was a little disappointed. We LOVE our pizza and I think true crafted Zio and mellow are far better options. Plus all three of those places have better salads. The people were very kind and the place is super cute but the food, nothing to write home about. Neither one of us are in any hurry to get back there bummer, I was hoping we’d have a new pizza spot

I have been here a couple times now and am really enjoying it. There are a handful of restaurants that could learn from Pizzeria Omaggio’s owner/​manager — he is always there and actively engaged in the front and back. He recognizes my wife and I, always making conversation and recommendations. It’s nice when you can put a face to the business.
The pizza is great and is made right behind the counter. The trio and Omaggio special are fantastic. They are about 11 inches and can be shared. You can also build your own from a lengthy variety of ingredients. The soups and salads are on my list of dishes to try on my next visit — they look delicious coming out of the kitchen.
Pizzeria Omaggio has put a lot of work into the interior. Clean and bright with marble counters. They have made the space their own — something that the previous pizzeria in this location failed at.
I am optimistic that Pizzeria Omaggio will stick around for a while. They are doing everything right and has been well received from what I have been reading.
