    Tavern style pizza spot with lots of seating. Was skeptical as it was empty but it was daytime. After eating the pizza I know why it's busy as the Mexican was declious. Never had beans on pizza but it was delicious. I got half with pesto and that too was solid. I'd go back to try more others and service was quick too. Will be back for a game.

    Bolognese

    Bolognese (3/5): Lots of meat which was great, but the rest of the dish was just ok. The sauce was decent, but the pasta was a little overcooked. The server recommended adding fresh mozzarella which was a great suggestion.  Corn Dip (3/5): Pretty underwhelming. The dip itself was ok, but the chips were just grocery store corn chips and not great.  Capricciosa Pizza (3/5): Not the quality of pizza I was hoping for. The meats were fine, but totally overwhelmed any other flavors. More sauce (or a slightly sweeter sauce) might have helped, but I couldn't really taste the sauce or the cheese. The crust was also pretty bland and forgettable.  RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    My experience was just okay. Intermezzo was on my list and driven by a lot, but I never stopped in. On a rainy Friday night, I decided to stop in. The hostess wasn't the friendliest but did give me an honest wait time. She sat me out on the patio, and it was a bit chilly even with the heaters, but I made do. The cocktail was my favorite part of the meal. I don't remember which one it was, but it was good. The server was nice enough but a bit slow coming and going, and could have been more attentive on a cold night. I ordered the piroska, which is essentially a stromboli with sour cream. While the sour cream gives it a nice twist, it's still nothing to write home about. While eating, I decided that I wouldn't order again and was underwhelmed by the experience. It was also overpriced given the mediocrity of the service and the food.

    Random stop because the original place we went did not have food that day - and boy, what a find in Charlotte! The inside is super cozy, old school feel. They also have outdoor heated seating in the winter. Service is amazing, our server was very patient and helpful with our indecisiveness. If you can't decide one, the large allows half half choices And on Wednesdays, they do half off any bottle of wine!

    Asparagus

    This was our second time eating here. We ordered the lasagna both times, and it was good and very comforting, exactly what we were looking for. Last night we got the lasagna to go with a side of asparagus, and they gave us 8 stalks for $11.50. I'm sorry, but that's straight-up robbery. You can buy an entire bushel at Whole Foods for $5, so paying almost $12 for eight cooked stalks is crazy... make it make sense. After reading other reviews, it seems to be a common trend when ordering to-go

    Cheese Pizza 10"add beef

    This was my first visit! I read reviews and since the reviews were great 9 out of 10 I decided to try it. I had my godmom and daughter come with me . I must say the pizza was absolutely delicious. We had 3 different orders. Here are a few pics. Pizza came out hot and delicious

    Plaza Midwood staple, locally owned, and a nice spot to eat/drink. Has a cute outdoor patio that's great most year round and covered during the winters. It's Serbian, despite the pizzas and the Italian sounding name. Pro tips: 1. Piroska is my favorite item on the menu, it's calzone-like and tasty, highly recommend 2. Pizza is solid, but varies depending on selection 3. Lasagna is tasty, but the portion is unfilling 4. Get the crostini appetizer over the bruschetta 5. Credit cards are charged a 3.5% fee, this is only communicated on bottom of the receipts 6. The waiters often ask if you want spinach in your piroska or marinara with your appetizer (such as the crostini), they're always an unspoken extra, $1 and $2 respectively. Definitely get the marinara, just be aware.

    Piroska
    James S.

    Even after seeing them on Diners Drive-ins and Dives I don't know why I waited so long to come here. The Piroska was featured on Triple D and I had to have one. It's like a calzone from a 10 inch pizza topped with sour cream, tomato sauce, and cheese. The sour cream added a delicious element and simply put created a standout dish. The Capriciosa Pizza had a thinner crust which had a slight chew but did not reach the point of being overdone or crunchy. Walking in the owners asked us to choose our seat and they introduced themselves. The location is small and intimate and has a full bar. There is also a patio which would be great to enjoy when the weather. So often we ask if the food is authentic. Here's a family bringing Serbian dishes to Charlotte. If you're looking for something you won't find every day try Intermezzo.

    Isn't this the most beautiful bar?

    This menu is full of delicious pizza and amazing dinners. I got a lemon chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes and every bite was absolutely heavenly! The service was excellent and the server was so friendly. So many great things to choose from. I can't wait to check this out again. There were so many things I wish I could haveeaten off the menu

    Ricotta And Goat Cheese Crostini
    Lance E.

    This has been one of my favorite places on this culinary journey. The place is casual with a local independently owned feel. The service was absolutely fantastic. Jacob suggested we check out their website site for images of the food. We started with the ricotta and goat cheese crostini. The goat cheese was smooth cut with the ricotta and had a fresh lemon hint to it. The crostini is crisp and definitely home made. The tomato sauce was chunky and fresh. One of our friends got the stuffed peppers that he recommended and had several times. Jacob got the Cabbage Rolls and I had a few bites and it was pretty great. Our other friend and I got the Eggplant Musaka. Yes, I shared with Jacob, and he agreed...best eggplant he's ever had. Sorry I have to start another paragraph on this AMAZING dish. It was by far one of the most amazing things I've ever put in my mouth. The eggplant was thin and crisp. The meat was delicious and the sauce was fresh and home made. This is a foodies dream. Something downright perfect, fresh and memorable. The dish that makes your eyes close and you just feel the goodness and freshness of flavor that sends you into quietness. We took tiramisu home and I can't wait to inhale the sweet coffee flavored goodness of this beautiful desert. If you're in Charlotte the home of great food. Do yourself and guests a favor and stop in to have some amazing Serbian family food.

Not only are the pizzas absolutely massive, but they're also incredibly delicious. The crust deserves a special mention, A+ all the way. It has the perfect texture and flavor and is good enough to eat on its own. Every bite was fantastic, and the quality really stands out. If you're a pizza lover, this place is a must-visit. Come hungry, because the portions are huge, and be prepared to leave impressed. Highly recommend!

We stopped in here for a weeknight late bite when our options were somewhat limited. Thankfully at that hour, street parking in NoDa wasn't too bad, we got a spot just off the main drag. Slices here are GIGANTIC, one is easily about 3 standard slices of pizza, or two normal NY size slices. We got a pepperoni and a cheese. The pepperoni had nice kick to them and the cheese was a high quality. You had to let the pepperoni grease drain onto your plate a bit, but that is expected. The thing that makes both slices so good is the garlic butter bath all around the crust that you can see them doing in the kitchen. Not just that, but the texture in the crust will make even non-crust lovers think again. You're basically left with big doughy garlic butter breadsticks. Definitely a 5 on taste. My only complaint, and I'm sure it is partly by design to keep people from staying long, the stools you can sit on to enjoy your pizza inside the restaurant are THE WORST I have ever placed my derrier on. Even for 15 minutes, it wasn't just uncomfortable, it was painful. It took me a couple blocks to start walking correctly again. Might as well just get rid of them and have people stand to eat. Terrible. Almost knocked a star off for it, that bad. Regardless of the world's worst stools, I would come back for more pizza and just plan on not eating it there.

The Buffalo Chicken 10" was $12.00 and then went to $12.99. It's now $17.50. I thought maybe they increased the amount of toppings - that was not the case. The draft beer (e.g. Pernicious) was $5.50, then $6.59 and now $7.00. The pizza looked great and was not burnt or undercooked - but seemed a little soggier than normal (typically it's more dry/crunchy). The service was still very good and pleasant. I certainly understand inflation and the need to make an operating profit, I'm just struggling to understand the dramatic change in pizza pricing (e.g. +35%).

The waiter was efficient, not friendly but not unfriendly either, just doing his job pretty much. Would have been nice to have him check on us once or twice but again not the biggest deal. The pizza: my son really enjoyed it and gave it a 5/5 and hubby ranked it a 3/5. He thought the crust was a tad too soggy. Side Caesar: 3/5 had some pieces of the lettuce that should have never made it in the salad and the dressing was just okay. Morty: also a 3/5. Too much arugula, we took some out and then seasoned the rest with s&p and some crushed red pepper flakes. It just lacked a depth of flavor and the bread and arugula overpowered it. The seasoning helped a bit. I even added garlic aioli based on a review I read on here but I didn't taste it. The pasta salad it came with also lacked flavor, though very green and appearing loaded with flavor it was not. And when eating it, the texture was very gummy. Didn't finish that. Overall, it was okay but I'm not likely to return just because there are better options based on the things we tried. But taste is subjective and it just wasn't our vibe today. But check it out for yourself because we only tried three things and the pictures of the other pizzas do look amazing. That is all!

Our server was so funny and cool. I wish I could remember his name, but he was having a good convo with the person I was with about basketball and it was just really nice. It felt like I was home on my couch hanging with friends. It's such a cool chill place. I loved the pizza, olives app and the old fashioned. It was nice to actually meet the owner too, he is the person who greeted us when we walked in and he was really nice. This place just seems like a good neighborhood spot. If I lived closer I'd probably go a lot more often. Great spot!!

    Review for Pizza Baby…read more After a relaxing Vinyasa yoga class and sound bath at The Coterie Wellness one evening, I found myself hungry--and conveniently, Pizza Baby had just opened in the same complex. Perfect timing. Since it was still new, the restaurant wasn't very busy, and I decided to grab a table outside. The outdoor seating was lovely--relaxed, comfortable, and a great way to unwind after a wellness session. I'm a sucker for thin-crust pizza, especially when it's hand-tossed and thoughtfully prepared, so one item immediately caught my eye: the rosemary pizza with hot honey. Sold. I added Italian sausage to the pizza and paired it with a fresh green salad (I can never resist a good Green Goddess dressing). Yes, it was a little on the pricey side, but the quality matched the cost--and I was genuinely pleased with my choices. The crust was thin and flavorful, the toppings were balanced, and the hot honey added just the right touch of sweetness and heat. This is definitely a place I'd return to--next time with friends--so we can share a few different pizzas and appetizers and really explore the menu. A few practical notes: * Parking is generally easy since the restaurant shares a lot with neighboring businesses in the complex * There are several nearby spots, including a wine bar and entertainment venues, which make the area feel lively * There was some early parking congestion when a nearby church held services, but the situation has since been addressed with signage and coordinated parking solutions It's nice to see businesses and community partners working together to make things run smoothly. There's also another location of Pizza Baby that I plan to visit, which speaks to how positive my first experience was. Bottom line: Great thin-crust pizza, pleasant outdoor seating, and a convenient stop after yoga or an evening out. A solid addition to Charlotte's growing food scene--and absolutely worth checking out. And if you're already in the area for a class or wellness session, it makes for the perfect post-workout reward.
