4/5 stars! Very good spot. Has changed owners several times, but they've kept the pizza lunch buffet on Tues-Friday which is always a fantastic deal. Really enjoy this place. Laid back and great rewards on their app too! read more

I've been hooked on Luisa's weekday lunch buffet for decades.. The ownership has changed, but the recipes have been maintained and a couple of new ones have been added. I believe the buffet is now offered only on Thursday and Friday, but it's well worth setting aside one of those two days to treat yourself..The service is excellent and the price is still what could only be considered a bargain. read more

Luisa's might be my favorite pizza in Charlotte. The marinara and the cheese are just so good. I recently got a build your own pizza with just extra cheese and it was 10/10. I ordered delivery today to my job for a coworker's going away party. Luisa's does not deliver, but they use a third party app called Slice. I ordered 2 days ahead for a certain delivery time and our pizza was delivered right on time. My only complaint is that it wasn't hot. It was lukewarm at best which is odd because we are only about 6-8 minutes drive from Luisa's. I don't think it was Luisa's fault which is why I'm still giving 5 stars. Other than that, delicious! read more

Luisa's is one of my favorite pizza places in Charlotte and it is flowing with nostalgia. I don't know how long they have actually been open, but it really feels like an old school joint. It is located in a shopping center on Montford on the second floor. Waking inside it really feels like a 90s pizza joint and I mean that in the best way possible. They have a small bar located towards the front, and they offer a lunch buffet that is all you can eat. Their pizza is very cheesy which is a huge plus for me, I hate when places skimp on the cheese. If you aren't in the mood for pizza they have some delicious subs, traditional Italian dishes, and some great sides as well. It is my understand that they have a new owner who has taken over, and I am not sure if the owner intends to keep things the same or bring in a new concept, but I certainly hope Luisa's is here to stay. read more

Luisa's Brick Oven Pizza Restaurant Review Tonight's visit to Luisa's Brick Oven Pizza was a bit of a disappointment. Whenever I try an Italian restaurant for the first time, I judge them based on a few key dishes: their red sauce, meatballs, lasagna, and eggplant parmigiana if they are available. Unfortunately, most of what I ordered did not impress. Walking in on a Monday night at 7 PM, I found the dining room nearly empty, with only two other couples dining in. That should have been my first clue. The menu was also missing a staple. No Caesar salad in sight. I thought all Italian restaurants served one, but not here. Instead, they offer a garden salad that reminded me of that one Family Guy episode where the restaurant is assembling a salad for take out. See video here: https://youtu.be/JgJUbmGDc6k The waitress was very friendly but did not seem to have much knowledge of the menu outside of the pizza selection. I started with the meatballs, which come as eight small one-ounce balls covered in red sauce and mozzarella cheese. They were just okay. I was told they are made in-house, but they had that unmistakable freezer taste that made me question it. Then came the eggplant parmigiana, which was the biggest letdown. I had seen Google Maps photos online that looked promising, but what I was served was completely different. Instead of the thin lengthwise slices I prefer, I was served 4 thick, round single slices that were greasier than a funnel cake at a county fair. It was served over a hefty portion of overcooked angel hair pasta, which did not help matters. On a brighter note, I did enjoy their red sauce. It leans sweeter and is less acidic, which I like. Their garlic bread was also solid. It was served warm, more of a flatbread style, and pretty tasty. I ordered the meat lasagna to go, but there was nothing spectacular about it from the tasting I had. Just average. The one surprise? They have good sweet tea. I do plan on coming back to try their pizza as that seems to be their strength. Maybe I will have better luck next time. But as for the other Italian dishes, I will pass. read more

Luisa's Brick Oven - Pepperoni, ground beef, onion & green pepper pizza - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Luisa isn't some sexy pizza joint with any shtick. They make some delicious pizza on the second floor of this shopping complex in Montford. I was honestly shocked as I looked down and saw the whole pie was gone. Their house pie's were a bit odd in my opinion, so I decided to make my own. Our server gave us a great experience with how quickly everything came out. A great experience for sure! Can't wait till we meet again Luisa! read more

The cheese sticks were hot and fresh with extra seasoning not my favorite but good. The pizza was good and we substituted sun-dried tomatoes for regular tomatoes, but it still needed a pop of flavor. It seemed a little plain? read more

I stumbled upon Luisa's by mere chance. We had plans to go to another restaurant and it was packed. We had to pivot and spotted Luisa's that is situated off of Montford in a shopping centre on the second level. Boy am I happy we found it. It was refreshing to see that they did have a brick oven and that the pizza would have that brick oven taste. Sat down and ordered a muffuletta pizza that is inspired by the New Orleans sandwich. The pie packed a flavour punch and had a crispy crust. We also ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich with fries. The sandwich was incredible and flavourful and the bread was fluffy, however the fries were bland and didn't have any seasoning at all. Also, the food portions are generous and will need a box to take lunch for the next day.One thing I noticed is that the restaurant felt super outdated but the food compensated for it and the server was great too. read more

It's a good neighborhood pizza spot Nothing out of this world but solid pizza Service was good Build your own and fried ravioli were good read more

Ordered Luisas through Postmates and had a great experience. First order we tried a little bit of everything: Luisa Pizza with salad and in house muffuletta dressing, the garlic breadsticks and chicken parm pasta. Everything was delicious and the standout was the pizza- wood fired with a perfect thin base body and crunchy crust. Been trying to find a go-to pizza spot with the new house so Luisas is a top contender! I think next time I'll try to pick up myself and see how it goes minus the Postmates. Nothing wrong with the Postmates experience but I would hate that the restaurant is paying fees for another service when I am more than able to pick up myself. read more

I cannot speak for the pizza, but the chicken fingers were bad. they were breaded ground chicken. they looked they they were from the frozen isle or in a tv dinner. i was really disappointed. read more

I'll start with service which I would give them a 5 star considering what they are forced to serve. The rest gets a -1 They lack experience in the pizza department. The owner is very fortunate that the patrons eat at this pizza shop are very inexperienced and quite honestly lack good qualities in the food sector. The oven is absolutely dirty and disgusting . Ambiance reminds me of Pizza Hut from 1990 and a bowling alley merged together and opened up a pizza shop in "The Hills Have Eyes" Wake up people, pizza is horrible. read more

Was in the mood for beer and pizza tonight and Luisa's did not disappoint. Service was great and sat at a little bar "taproom" and ate dinner. Service was perfect and could not do any better. read more

Ordered a large pizza and wings for pickup on a Saturday night. They were busy but I think it took a reasonable amount of time to be ready. The wings were crispy and tasty. The pizza was delicious thin crust, super flavorful. It was good as take out so we can't wait to try dine-in sometime soon. Took off one star because we thought prices were a little high. read more

We had two pizzas and salads. All of it was very good and being from New York, New Jersey. That's pretty good compliment.

Pizza was nothing special and was a bit floppy and undercooked. The main issue was cleanliness. The carpet was filthy, as were the bathrooms. I can imagine the kitchen was likely the same. The service was attentive but not very inviting. I don't know why the ratings are so high, there are better pizza joints in the Charlotte area. read more

Had a large group of 10 people for a goodbye party and Luisa's delivered! Got amazing pizza, calzone was to die for!! Our server was hilarious and attentive and everything came out piping hot! Great environment for groups and families galore! read more

Great place to stop and grab lunch. Every time I've been here I've ordered the pizza buffet so that's all I have experience with. I will say that I have always gotten quick and friendly service. As soon as I sit down the waiter usually approaches, takes my drink order, and I tell them I'm going to the buffet. Another reason why I really like this place, is the fact that the buffet ends at 2:30 and there have been times that I have gotten there at 2:15 and fresh pizza continues to come out. I would say on average, they have about 10 different types of pizza in rotation. read more

Moved to Charlotte area in 2006, tried many pizza joints, and this by far is the best in my humble opinion. The pizza crust is awesome thanks to the brick oven, had many variations of their pizza and never have been disappointed. Highly recommend. read more

I have lived in Charlotte for almost 10 years, and I can't believe that I haven't discovered Luisa's sooner. It is hands down my family's new favorite pizza spot. Our servers are always so friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. No other pizza in Charlotte compares. We have made it our new Sunday night tradition, and I look forward to it all week!! read more

We got a pepperoni pizza and another build your own, and they were both fantastic. Great crust and fresh toppings. The homemade marinara and ranch are AMAZING. Great service, all the staff were super friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

As a native I can't believe it took me 50+ years to visit Luisa's! I took my pizza loving young daughter and my pops for the lunch buffet and it was so delicious. We had limited time so this pick was perfect. On the way out I said hello and thank you to the maker who gave me some background history about the place which I loved. Can't wait to return. read more

We've had two negative experiences at Luisa's, both times we got takeout. First - we ordered a bowl of the minestrone soup. Upon opening the soup, it was clear to me that it was canned soup. I recognized the Progresso Minestrone soup. I called Luisa's to confirm that it was canned soup, and the person at the front confirmed it was. Secondly, there was a long piece of hair in our pizza. I called again to inform Luisa's. Their response was a lackluster apology and "I'll make sure everyone in the back has a hair net on". There was no offer to make up for the situation. I do like their pizza, but I will not be buying from them again. read more

Stopped by Luisa's for their lunch pizza deal and was pleased. While it's not great pizza, it is absolutely very good pizza. Brick oven baked, rather than the usual gas oven stuff, it is a bit more charred around the edges and this adds a different flavor - a good one - to the pie. The buffet has a salad which is nice and tasty, but don't decieve yourself into thinking that's a healthier choice than the pizza. It's got a good amaount of dressing on it. And really, you're at a pizza place. Have the pizza! And for the pizza choices, it was a nice variety though not spectacular. The focus here is on the tasty crust and not the creative toppings. What are you expecting for $9? Pepperoni and sausage and peppers and mushrooms and the like. The pesto-topped pizza was tasty. A very nice lunch option at a great lunch price for very tasty brick-oven pizza. I can see why Luisa's is so popular! read more

I have mixed reviews about this place. It's more of a 3.5. When we first walked in, we were waiting by the sign where it said to wait to be seated. Right across from us was the oven station where they had three people making pizzas. They didn't say anything to us but I did notice when some people walked behind us, they greeted them like crazy. They must of been regulars. We waited a few minutes before anyone even greeted us. Someone walked by briskly asking how many people were in our party and we told him 2. He said he would be right back. We waited a few more minutes and finally got seated. We got sat at a table and as soon as I sat down, my whole dress was wet from the seat being cleaned and not dry. Not a huge issue, but annoying. We got greeted by our server. She was ok. We ordered a pizza that was similar to a supreme (pepperoni, peppers, onions, mushrooms, ham and beef). We waited about 30 minutes for our pizza which is normal for a oven pizza. When we got it, we couldn't tell where the beef was. But when she dropped the pizza off, she pretty much just walked away. We ate a few slices and asked her if there was any beef on the pizza. She looked at our pizza then asked us if we tasted any beef. What? That's why we are asking. We didn't see any nor did we taste any. She then said she asked them to put beef on the pizza. And then said sorry and walked off. What? That's kind of rude especially since we asked for it. I will admit the pizza was good. But the whole service in general was just ok. read more

I stopped in for the the pizza lunch Buffet. Kind of crowded today. But they kept up with everyone. Still some of the best pizza in Charlotte. If you like fennel in your sausage, you need to go here. And the salad dressing is unbelievable. Check them out if you're in the area. read more

Finally dropped in to try this place after driving through some months ago from that popular bakery. The staircase caught my eye and gave me a 80s vibe. Looked cozy. I got a medium deluxe pizza with veggie toppings, sausage, pepperoni, and bacon. I figured it would be about $18. It was $23. Seems if you have a great taste palette you pizza will almost be $25. Luckily, it was a delicious pizza and great service. The guy who waited on me knew what kind of pizza I had in mind and suggested adding garlic which I had no idea was topping (rare thing to get a suggestion). Friendly crew. So far its my favorite Italian pizza in town. I would definitely say this a good date spot and a spot to unwhine if you're alone too. read more

Charlotte is not typically synonymous with decent pizza but this place is a happy exception. Ordered a large cheese pizza and an order of garlic bread for takeout and was not disappointed. I appreciated that they don't chince out on the sauce and my roommate said he really enjoyed the crust. A little grease but not sopping, just the way I like it. Service was also pleasant. We'll be back! read more

We placed an order for pickup last night and it was fantastic! I saw on facebook that they were filling up growlers. My hubby brought his growler and got it filled up for a decent price. Not sure if this is something typical or just being offered during these crazy Covid 19 times. Family owned and run business. My hubby said that he spent some time chatting with the guy who filled up his growler and he was the soon to be son in law of the owner. We got a half and half pizza. Half milano for my husband and half pepperoni and pineapple (dont judge) for me. Pizza was delish. Thought the sauce, cheese and dough was spot on. Great spot for a good pizza! read more

We stumbled upon this place almost 5 years ago - for my now fiancé and I's first date! We instantly fell in love with the feel of the place and for the pizza - the Luisa is our favorite but there are so many options! Most recently, we went back this week and tried the wings for the first time (we are big wing people) and we were so impressed!!! It's officially a staple for u when we go there now. Last month, the owner, Jeff, was kind enough to let us take some engagement photos in the restaurant. Since it's such a special place for us, we wanted to some pics to celebrate our engagement! The team was so accommodating, down to earth and friendly with our requests. Such a great spot for REAL, genuine, brick oven pizza. We love it here! read more

We ordered take out tonight. I read the reviews and being from out of town thought we would this place a chance. Well it started off with our pizza arriving cold. I do mean cold no warmth at all, we had to heat it in the microwave to even eat it and I like Cold Pizza next day but not when I first get it. I was not thrilled with that but I was still going to give them a chance. It was not the worst pizza I save that for little Cesar's but this is right above that. For $25 for one large pepperoni pizza save your money and go elsewhere. With fees and taxes all together it was $40 read more

I don't know what I was expecting, having just eaten at Modern and Pepe's in New Haven CT (didn't get to Sally's this trip) ..... The gentleman at the register was very nice and the pie was ready on time. Unfortunately, the pie was just substandard. Too much flop - underdone / too soft and thick for brick oven without much char; the sauce leaning towards "sweet". Maybe a good pie for NC ...... but doesn't hold a candle to the NH pizza I grew up with. A good try ......... CT read more

I've only ever ordered a cheese pizza from here. Pretty good pie. very thin, which I like, but wish it was a little crispier. I think it's just the style. Good flavor and convenient. Apparently they have a pizza buffet. I'm going to have to try and figure out how to get there to try it out. 100% guarantee though based on the cheese pizza I've had, it will be 10000x better than CiCi's. I'm looking forward to it. read more
