First time here, service was amazing!! Very clean and the food was really good!! Thanks to the bartender Jim for making us feel so welcome!

Stopped by on way home from dog park, was told no dogs allowed on outdoor patio, left and got pizza from taste of Buffalo on way home. Reviews not good enough to worry about coming back. read more

Just did takeout. All the staff was great as it was very busy. The pizza was good but probably better if we ate it fresh at the restaurant.

Visited Goat Pizza for dinner Friday. Delicious pizza ... good menu options...amazing pizza for NC. Cheese sticks & garlic knots are tasty appetizers. Relaxing sports themed atmosphere my kids loved! Excellent drink/beer options. We'll definitely be back! read more

This pizza hits the spot. Love the goat pie with fig! The mozz sticks we big and served with peppers. Fun spot, busy as they just opened.

Take the bad reviews with a grain of salt - they're new, very busy and still working out kinks. The food is great, we had onion rings, calamari, pizza and a burger - all delish. I also had a surprisingly awesome margarita here too. We will be back! read more

Food good, service is awful. Waited longer for a beer than 3 pizzas. If you order a cocktail come back tomorrow to get it. Avoid at all costs. Papa John's is a better option. read more

Stopped in at the GOAT at 8:45 to get a burger to go. Was told it's Sunday we're not taking any more orders

Pizza was fabulous and the garlic knots.....OMG. addicting! Check it out - their food and service is fantastic! Can't wait to go back for more! read more

I have been coming here every week for the last 2 months and it never disappoints! Love it, the food, the atmosphere and service! Jacquelyn, was great!! read more

Pizza was terrible! I have had store bought frozen pizza that was better than GOAT pizza. Their meat pizza $27., had dime sized pepperoni, lack of cheese and tomato sauce, absences of other meats that were to be included, and a crust that was undercooked. The salad was equally as bad, the croutons were inedible. Worst $50. I ever spent. Change the name to simply BAD PIZZA!!!! read more

GOAT PIZZA is exactly what the name says. It's so yummy Vinny and Kaylee were fantastic!

Gave it a second try, overall its ok. Service was good both times. Pizza is just ok, we've had 2 so far, sausage, and the four cheese. I'm picky about my pizza as I grew up in NY tri-state area which makes the best pizza in the country. We've gotten the wings and the bacon, although both are tasty the bacon is extremely over priced. The bacon description says "slab", which it is NOT. It costs $14.99 you'd assume you can share with your table, NOPE. You're only given two thick "slices" and paying for a fancy presentation that doesn't fit for the pizza/sports bar venue. Get rid of the fancy presentation with the blow torch at the table, and the piece of pickle, rosemary and lemon (which add nothing to flavor) and add two more slices of bacon for the price. read more

Finally fresh pizza in the area. And the menu keeps getting better and better! I had their chili... absolutely delicious.

Takeout order was completely wrong at time of pickup. Both inconsistent with the uncomplicated order placed and inconsistent with the restaurants own specialty menu description. Unfortunate. Spoke with the manager who acknowledged the error, apologized and blamed his staff for the mistake. read more

Great food! Amazing people! And great service! You can't get a better atmosphere for sports. The reviews comparing it dominos must have something wrong upstairs. From New Jersey, North Carolina has very few pizza spots worth it. This is one of them! read more

Dine in might be fine. Carry Out, my experience was terrible. Pizza was cold.Also was informed when I arrived they do not accept cash. I am sure there are much better options near Cornelius . read more

Went for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious! We ordered the GOAT pizza, the GOAT smash bacon burger, and the Italian Stallion with some sweet Thai chicken wings. It look a little while to come out but it was worth the wait! Jim the bartender was a great waiter too. Loved the goat wallpaper! read more

Pizza was nothing special, my son said it tasted like Dominos. We also got the GOAT pizza and it is way too sweet, the drizzle was overpowering. Service was awful, we never saw our waitress after we placed our order. She never came to see if we wanted drink refills and we had to flag her down to get the bill. We won't be going back. read more

The food was delicious! The bacon cheeseburger was amazing, and the fries were cooked to perfection. The sever was extremely kind and very understanding. My dad's food was a bit late so the server got us fries on the house. It looks really cool inside as well and I'll be happy to come back! read more

The pizza is way too salty and garlicky, the cauliflower crust is not good, way overpriced. A small drink at the bar was $15 + tax. Not going to last with that low quality. Surprising and disappointing that they would even let that food go out of the kitchen. read more

GOAT Pizza - Overpriced vodka drink. - Pizza Near Me - Cornelius, North Carolina

Pizza is horrible , way too salty , way too much garlic , not enough toppings. Crust is just crust I can think of 20 other places in the area that are much better pizza got a drink at the bar and the drink was $15. I won't be going back to this place again. read more

Food and menu is good. Its a little "strict" on what you can and cannot do with their menu in regards to substitutions. The ambiance is cool and service is slightly above average. Their pizza is good but absolutely destroys my body above and beyond most pizza places but that is not their fault. I would recommend! read more

our first time here. we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the drinks, food ,and the service. Jim was the bomb , and made us feel like regulars , and made us the best long islands that weve had in years. We will definitely be returning. read more

great pizza, fast service, and it's a super calm vibe and a sporty ambiance. It's perfect for football night.

I've been there a few times now. This is a great place to be able to hang out to watch sports and eat and drink well. The service is always been solid and the people very friendly. I'm glad to have something different and original in our neighborhood. read more

Visited GOAT Pizza for lunch Friday after hearing some mixed reviews. Started with the garlic knots, which were great. Definitely the highlight of the meal (like a pizza popover). We ordered three pizzas and all were good, not great. Based on the name, it was disappointing, otherwise we thought it was good. On the expensive side, which is common for the area. Not sure I see value, but the knots were worth a return visit. read more

Between everyone at the table, we had garlic knots, wings, salad, and a pizza... topped it off with an order of donuts. All of us said we would definitely be back. Good food. Good service. Only slight drawback but not enough to be 4 stars is the prices are a little steep. Also, paper towel length to dry hands in the bathroom is acceptable. read more

Sorry this place has an awful lot of improvement needed. Service is fine. Food is just not that good. And the delivery is just terrible. Waited for 40 minutes for 2 pizzas - finally one was hot the other ice cold. And I don't mean just warm. Sent back and after 20 minutes more we just left. Get it together. For experienced owners- this is a joke. read more

Mediocre food, outrageous prices. Charged $30 for a 12" pizza with 1.5 toppings on it.

First time trying GOAT pizza and highly recommend, has a nice Italian bite (pepperoni) and crust was delicious! Thank you.

Food is great. Wait is long, but to be expected in Lake Norman! Worth the wait! Very good pizza! Heard the Chicken Parm is great too from a friend. read more

Appetizers were great, the pizza was terrific (meat lovers and marguerita) but the service from James put it over the top. also the bartender this afternoon he offered suggestions and hit it out of the park. Thanks Jimmy, we had a fun afternoon. read more

Food (pizza/salad) was great. Husband got a burger, he said it was wonderful. Service good, attentive. Ambiance good, decor nice, however, it was so loud, I couldn't hear my friends talking to me. Dinner time super loud. Lunch time is more quiet. Thanks James, for making our experience a positive one. read more

The onion rings were served on a fun platform, the pizza was delicious and the key lime pie was the perfect way to end the meal. Even though it was really busy, the service was good and fast. read more

My daughter liked her Pizza, but said Brooklyn South was better. My calamari and onion rings were the worst. What little actual calamari served was over breaded, and the rings were dry and tasteless. Spend your money somewhere else. read more

The service, the food, and the atmosphere is great! I had the cauliflower crust pizza and it was amazing. My husband had the pepperoni pizza and says he is coming back for more. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Great food and atmosphere. Service was exceptional. Recommend the Big Wave Blue Hawaiian pizza. My kids liked the smash burgers

Delicious pizza and wings! Had the pepperoni pizza and buffalo wings. Servers are very nice as well! Laid back atmosphere.

My wife and I visited this establishment twice before last Thursday's encounter-all three times together with our puppy, who is too young to be left alone long enough for us to enjoy a meal out. Both times prior to last Thursday's, we found the food to be good and the service accommodating and friendly, so much so that I left a comment on a post on this site trashing Port City in which I shined favorably on GOAT and wondered why, if the chef/owners could do such a great job at that restaurant, they couldn't do the same for Port City. Thursday, I found out why and have lost hope that GOAT will remain as good as my first impressions showed. The two previous times that we ate at GOAT, because we were with our puppy, we ate at the restaurant's outdoor seating, having entered it through the walkway at the side of the building. Last Thursday, we did likewise, but, on arriving at one of several empty tables, we were informed by a waitress that dogs were not permitted. We were asked to leave. I found the manager to enquirer about the sudden change in policy. He nformed me that the waitress was correct, but that it was not the fault or policy of the restaurant as to why dogs were not allowed at outdoor tables. Rather, I was informed quite emphatically, it was because the Town had not yet issued them a permit to have dogs at outside seating despite their efforts to get the permit. The manager told me that they were hopeful that the Town would grant the permit, but had no timetable as to when that might happen. I thought this rather strange as I had never heard of such a permit and knew of no restaurant with outdoor seating accessible without going inside with the dog that did not permit dogs at outdoor seating. In fact l, I have noticed, almost all who have such seating are more than accommodating to their patrons, brining water and sometimes a small treat for thei patrons' dogs. The next day, I called the Town Planning Department to see if there was truth to what I was told and, if so, to ask that the Town move the process of permitting along. As you might guess, I was informed that the Town had no such permit requirement and that the restaurant was free to permit dogs at their outside seating as they chose. I was told that, to make doubly sure that there was no other governmental restriction on serving dog accompanied patrons outside, I should call the County Health Department. I did as suggested. The Health Department confirmed that there was no permit needed for service of patrons with dogs at outside seating and that it was strictly up to the restaurant as to whether they would serve patrons with dogs. Having been so informed by the two governmental agencies responsible for regulation of restaurants and issuing of permits for the operation of restaurants in Cornelius, I called the restaurant again and again spoke to a manager. This time, after learning from me that what I had previously been told was debunked by the Town Planning and County Health Departments, the manager informed me that the real reason was that the restaurant has an open kitchen and that, because of this, allowing pets at outdoor seating would create a "food heath issue." When I pointed out that we never came anywhere near the open kitchen or anywhere else inside the restaurant to get to the outdoor tables, the manager stated with all the bluster and self righteousness that he could muster, that even though patrons with dogs would not need to pass near the restaurant's open kitchen, his wait staff who would be serving the outside tables would. He stated that it was that which would create a health issue. More BS on top of the BS that I was served the day before. While I have no issue with restaurants setting whatever policies and serving whatever food, drink etc. that they think appropriate for their establishments, I cannot accept being served lies and BS. More, I cannot accept the effort to adopt a policy that the owner clearly knew would be poorly received for no legitimate reason or purpose and then attempt in bad faith falsely to lay blame for that foolish, arbitrary policy on the Town government rather than admit that the policy was theirs and theirs alone. The word cowardly comes to mind. I have no doubt that the middle management involved here were carrying out the directions of clueless upper management and that they made up their false, ridiculous stories about their superiors' ridiculous policy because they had nothing else to offer when charged to enforce the policy on unsuspecting patrons like my wife and I. It is this type of mismanagement that makes Port City Club a place to bypass. I expect that it won't be long before that same poor basic management will do the same for GOAT Pizza. My wife and I certainly won't be back. Perhaps, this is what accounts for the inconsistent reviews, some good, more than a few meh, on this post. read more
