The Pizza Peel

Our pizza WAS Amazing. This was our first time here and we will come here again when we are craving pizza. My got the southwest salad which was very good as well. Can’t wait to come here again.

So… Probably the best pizza in Charlotte. Tried the Updyke pizza and it was simply fantastic. Great atmosphere, great service, and was impressed by the management. Definitely will return here.

My boyfriend and I are starting to become regulars it’s so good. My always get the Updyke pizza, small is enough to feed 2 – 3 people. We also get the mushroom and chorizo pasta. Soooo good! Great place for craft beer as well.

We live close to this Pizza Peel so it’s convenient to go but after the last few times, we aren’t coming back. The pizza is okay, but highly over priced. For 2 personal pizzas (8inch) and 1 beer it was 30 dollars. It’s not the pizza that gained this 2 star review it’s the service. The female servers are horrible, slow and rude. We used to get one of the men servers and he was always on top of it and was super friendly but the female servers are terrible. This last time we went in I tried ordering a beer that the waitress said «oh I’ve not heard of that before, no one ever orders that» then to return 10 minutes later to tell me they were out of it (thought no one ordered it?!) so I ordered another similar style beer and she said she didn’t think they had that either but instead of just walking over and asking she decided to yell from our table to the bartender «Hey we don’t have _​_​_​insert beer here_​_​_​do we?!» and the bartender said no. The whole place stopped and looked over, very embarrassing. So then she told us we couldn’t order anything but pizza and beer, (which we wanted wings) she never explained why not. After we paid and left I wrote to them on fb in a private message and luckily the owner was very nice and offered us a free meal and explained why they weren’t serving anything but pizzas (they had the fry cook leave for the night) If we ever decide to use the free meal we will just go to the one in Plaza Midwood, but there are better pizza places in Charlotte.

Our first experience at Pizza Peel (moved to CLT three months ago and still exploring options). It was OK but we’ll continue to search for better. A definite poiint against the place was established by the manager during our late Saturday afternoon visit: While we waited for our pizza, he held a staff meeting at the counter and proceded to dress down his employess for varous things — all of it in a loud voice that was clearly audible to the handful of customers in the room at the time. Not sure I want to patronize a business where management displays such an attitude toward employees.

Was going to do take-out…decided to sit down for pizza and wings. Marinara sauce was delicious… Jacque the waitress was awesome… kid-​friendly spot

I love this pizza so much! I love the lunch buffet. The crust is chewy and delightful, always a little well done-​which I enjoy. If you want a lighter crust, you must ask! All toppings are of high quality. I love the eggplant parm! Perfect to warm you up on a cool day. Expensive prices, but worth it.

This place must be a locals thing. I went for the lunch buffet today. Meh… A spread of 4 pizzas do not a good buffet make. Food was OK, however nothing incredible enough to have been shown as one of the best lunches in CLT. Strangest tasting blue cheese salad dressing I’ve ever experienced.
Maybe it was just a bad day.

Great neighborhood spot! I’ve been in lots for lunch, dinner, drinks… It’s just a few minutes from my house and an easy place to land when we get a spur of the moment urge to go out. Their wings are great. Beer selection is really great. My boyfriend loves their nachos. My favorite is the roasted veggie pizza. This location (Cotswold) is really family friendly.

Excellent food, excellent service. In the area on business and picked based on location and reviews. Not disappointed!

Pizza Peel has a large selection of beers on tap. The house made chips and the feta dip are my favorite appetizers. The lunch buffet is a good deal — $ 8.50 for a drink, salad, and all you can eat slices. If they don’t have it on the buffet, they’ll usually take requests. Weekly pizza specials benefit an area charity. Pizza is a tad bland at times, but overall I really like the quality. The staff is friendly, too.

I popped in for a to-​go order after seeing Saniqua’s picture and practically drooling over how yummy it looked!
I’m so glad that I did!
I ordered the 8 inch Updyke. It comes with mozzarella, Italian sausage, carmelized onions, mushrooms and goat cheese topped with arugula tossed in a balsamic dressing. What’s not to love about those toppings?
When I arrived my pizza was hot and ready… And the best part was that it tasted great. I loved the fresh toppings and the super thin crust.
I’d absolutely return from here again. I’m already looking forward to my next one!

I was excited to try this place based on recommendations from friends. I must admit they were a little pricier than I thought $ 21 for 16 inch pizza, with upcharges for certain toppings. I ordered a vegetarian pizza topped with jalapenos peppers which came at an extra charge and a peel pepperoni with pineapple, which came with lots of pepperoni and $ 1 extra charge according to their menu. The lots of pepperoni was a bit of exaggeration. I guess what turned me off is how they nickel and dime you for extra toppings. They even charged me for a side of balsamic dressing. I guess given the initial cost I expected the little extras to be free which they weren’t or the pizza to be extraordinary, which it wasn’t either. It wasn’t bad just ordinary.

Pizza Peel & Tap Room is right around the corner from our house so naturally we had to hit them up. They weren’t memorable enough to make it to our favorites list but they were good enough for a good night out. I got the chorizo pizza with prosciutto and whole roasted garlic and Ella got the turkey cobb salad. The chorizo pizza was good but not great and the cobb salad was… well… a cobb salad. We didn’t really find anything memorable about the Pizza Peel but it might have just been an off night. The location is 5 minutes from our house so I’m guessing its pretty likely we will hit them up again.

I’ve still only been here for beer, but with wonderful service from the lovely Jen behind the bar, I will be back. Great beer selection and great prices. Very similar décor as the one on Central. I’ll update my review once I’ve tried some of the food.

Such a great place. Pizza is amazing and they have so much beer. Mofos like to drink up there! Saw one dude who got drunk and brought a damn chicken and a 70 dollar block of cheese in the place.
Overall A+

Just so you know it does get very loud in here. We started with the garlic knots based on the many reviews on it. Unfortunately these garlic knots didn’t really hit the mark. There was nothing garlicky about it. And their pizza’s were just alright. It certainly isn’t made of the regular pizza dough we are normally familiar with. Although our food was somewhat average, we truly appreciate the service in here. They were on top of it and some elderly gentleman whom we assume is the owner/​manager was very hospitable.

A pizza place right next to a Krispy Kreme? Yes, please.
On a bank holiday Monday, early for lunch, I easily found The Pizza Peel. Parking is limited and a bit narrow, but since I was there before, well, everyone, I found a spot and settled in to wait on my hot date.
The entire wait staff was fantastic. Friendly, drinks were kept filled, the one change I made to the pizza order was met with a ‘no problem’. Prices are on par for pizza places that aren’t chains
My order of an 8″ Positive Friction (sun-​dried tomatoes, spinach, tomatoes, pesto, mozz cheese and I asked for goat cheese instead of feta) arrived quickly and smoking hot. Toppings were of a proper amount and proportionately covering the pie. As someone who prefers choices other than tomato-​sauced pizzas, they had a very nice selection. Also, their vegetarian menu is creative and fantastic.
I will definitely be returning to The Pizza Peel!

I’ve heard many good things about The Pizza Peel for years, but I finally made it in here today with a quick light dinner with my daughter. Everything was great. Loved my House Salad with dried cranberries & walnuts & blue cheese crumbles & vinaigrette dressing. Daughter had the Chicken Pesto wrap and it’s a good thing she didn’t leave the table because I might have eaten half of that too! The homemade chips were some of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back and actually try the Pizza and amazing beer selection!

The Pizza Peel was a first for us. We went with high expectations due to all of the amazing reviews. It was average at best. The garlic knots were decent. The pizza was just okay. The sauce was plain and the cheese wasn’t cooked enough for my liking. Also, the garlic knots and crust were all made with wheat and not the white flour I am so accustomed to. It wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’ll be coming back. There are too many other great pizza options in Charlotte.
