    The T-Rex
    Shawn W.

    Absolutely great experience here at Pure. When we walked in we were greeted and asked if we were dining in or taking out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We chose to dine-in outside and menus were brought out to our table to review.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was very nice and sunny outside but it is cozy inside if you decide to dine there instead.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are a few drink options including wine and a thc beverage. My party just got waters and teas. The pizza itself was soooo good. They came out in less than 10 minutes of us ordering. The T-Rex was not only meaty and tasty but the sauce was sweet and paired so well with the entire pizza. I will be returning to try more of their pizzas soon.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute location![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ample parking great for carry out, but I loved sitting inside! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar is adorable and they have options in the drink fridge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love that they have a build your own pizza option and so many types of pizza on their menu. Hot honey with vegan cheese was a hit for me and the fiance loved his calzone! Looked beautifully made. Service was quick and we look forward to trying many more pizzas here!

    Order via ours website. Driver picked up my pizza order at 5:50p and didn't deliver it until 5:09. I literally live 0.5 miles down the street. We just had a newborn which is why I didn't go get the order. Entire order was COLD. DRIVER TOLD ME HE WAS DOING MULTIPLE DELIVERY APPS

    Thin crust
    Cheryl M.

    The pizza tastes good. The salad was decent. The crust was thin with good toppings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My biggest concerns were the empty parking lot, the 96.5 sanitation score, and there was no soap in the restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus there was a broken toilet with a sign on it that looked to have been broken for a while.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I told the one person working here that the soap dispenser was empty and she just said ok. I went back to check after I ate and she still had not refilled it with soap. That makes me wonder if they're washing their hands with soap before preparing food. That could explain that low score. There was only one cook and one server when we arrived. No other customers and it was lunch time. This is an indication that I probably will not return.

    Hole in a wall type place! Located off Central Ave. Friend and I decided to come for lunch. Arrived around 130ish, and the parking lot was EMPTY! you walk in, place your order at the counter, and then find a table, and they bring the food out for you. I ordered the chorizo personal pizza with Brussel sprouts. It was DELICIOUS! Pizza was made fresh, and the combination of chorizo with the radishes and lime they gave you gave it the extra kick! I definitely enjoyed that pizza and could've eaten the whole thing if I didn't stop myself. Brussel sprouts were flavorful. Grilled with all the spices, which made them flavorful and not just plain. The sanitation score was a bit low, 96.5, and the bathrooms had no soap in them and a broken toilet. Makes you wonder if the employees actually wash their hands if and when they use the bathroom. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Superised at how it was empty when we came during lunch hour, which always makes me wonder what is wrong.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Either way, my pizza was delicious, and I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items, but given the low sanitation score, I wouldn't come out of my way either. A big plus, though, they do have their own attached parking lot with PLENTY of parking spaces, which is always a plus, especially off Central Ave.

    10" Pepperoni Supreme Craft Pizza
    Gregory B.

    Really, really good pizza. Not too saucy, just the right amount of toppings. The sweetness of the peppers was really good. The price for the size was a bit much, but taste alone it was 5/5.

    16" Classic Cheese Pizza
    Nina Q.

    Portnoy would probably give them a 7.5 You know it's going to be a good spot when as you're walking in, people are walking out saying "I'm so excited to eat this I can't wait, I'm taking a peak." Pure Pizza delivers a great classic pizza, more on the thin crust side which I like. Great cheese ratio as well! Highly recommend!

    GREASY!
    Christin N.

    Ok So definitely would have got another star if they made my pizza correctly and wasn't so expensive for quantity of food. We got 10 inch Slap your Mama Pizza which they forgot to put ground beef on which was extremely disappointing , Mushrooms Appetizer they were some chopped up mushrooms with garlic and a sprinkle of goat cheese for $8, and 2 side Caesar salads they were just ok based on salad dressing but greens were very fresh and yummy homemade croutons. $30 plus tip Overall Ratings Mama Pizza Mushroom Appetizer Caesar Salad On a side note the ingredients of pizza were very fresh and seem to be GREAT quality! Very Greasy but I did add garlic and I'm thinking they used garlic oil. I probably wouldn't return to far and pricy for what you get and I'm not close, I drove 20 minutes to get it.

    T The T-Rex Pizza
    Natalie P.

    The best pizza I have had in Charlotte so far! I ordered the T. rex (which is essentially a meat lovers pie) on a Friday night. It took about 25 minutes to prepare. $24 in total. The pizza was delicious. It had such a generous portion of meat! The cheese was so fresh. The dough was the perfect texture. Each bite was soooo good! The 16" pizza was 8 slices and good for 2-3 people. Parking is a bit of a disaster, but once you get there, it's great! Indoor and outdoor seating.

    Farmer's Salad
    Kate T.

    Pure has always been bookmarked, but I have never made it, and now after relocating to the area and that I can practically walk to this location I had to try them out. The Farmer's Salad was amazing, a nice spring mix with radishes, carrots, onions and goat cheese with a balsamic dressing. As for the pizza, I created my own, thin, but not too thin crust, with a fluffy crust. I ordered pickup so cannot weigh in on too much on service, but from my pickup experience it was good. Definitely look forward to my next visit and trying some other pizzas they offer.

    Dining area
    Bells B.

    Dined here for the first time and was not impressed by the salad. The chicken was cold and seemed like it was bought and not cooked on site. The pizza comes in two sizes and the smaller one has an option of an ancient grain crust. The pizza itself was flavourful and my party loved theirs. I was disappointed that they didn't have wings because that's always my go to when visiting pizzerias. The hostess was kind and gave me a side of pimento cheese which helped the taste of the salad. If you like pizza, this is a good local place to try and support.

    Mushroom pizza with veggie bites ( I forget name)
    Kirby N.

    Very nice place on central, ample parking. Inside seating appears closed off, we enjoyed a nice day on the patio. The food is spectacular, I loved how they curated the veggie rolls. The bites came with marinara which complimented it well The pizza was a hit! 7.4 in my book, strong score. The crust was amazing and crisp. They suggested a honey sauce which did make it pop

As a vegetarian, I ordered the Queen Sheba Veggie which had a little bit of everything. It was *chef's kiss*. I didn't specify a spice level but it was manageable, yet totally flavorful and delicious. The cabbage dish was absolutely the best I've ever had, the injera was plentiful and perfectly tasty, and the honey wine (tej) was a delight. I arrived hungry and managed to finish most of what was on the platter. I definitely think the portions were generous without going overboard. I really don't have any complaints about this place. I wish they were open for lunchtime, but I guess that just means more Ethiopian food for dinner for me!

I went to pick up an order and asked for a specific item. Noah, the owner, responded, "I don't go to the kitchen," and kept repeating the same excuse for about three minutes. Determined not to leave without the item, I finally said, "If you can't get it, just refund me, and I'll leave." Noah had $20 in his hand but never printed a receipt. Eventually, he handed me the $20. As I walked toward the main door to leave, he said, "Don't go through that door." I didn't understand why, as it was the main exit, but I decided to proceed anyway. Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. Without warning, Noah came up and put me in a chokehold from behind. The hold only lasted a couple of seconds before my instincts kicked in. Having trained in martial arts, I defended myself. In the heat of the moment, I retaliated and landed multiple strikes. At one point, I realized I could have seriously hurt him--I almost choked him out or broken his arm--but I held back. The fight spilled through the door Noah didn't want me to use, and we ended up outside on the street. By the end of the altercation, we were both holding onto each other's shirts. I told him I wouldn't press charges because I felt I had already gotten the upper hand. Soon after, Noah called a security guard from the bar next door. When the guard arrived, I thought it was about to escalate further. Instead, Noah, clearly upset, ordered the guard to pepper spray me at close range. Afterward, the guard and I exchanged a few words. I could tell he felt bad about what happened after hearing the full story. In the end, Noah decided not to press charges, likely to avoid scrutiny over his own actions. Yelp doesn't allow posts with graphic content, so I can't share some of the images.

She makes the best soups and vegan Mac and Cheese. During the month of January, I do the Daniel Fast for 21 days and a lot of her items have the ingredients that are ok for the fast. This gives you more of a variety during the fast with your fruits, vegetables, grains, and potatoes. Also, she has a wide variety of jams and jellies, I purchase the no sugar added grape jelly and its delicious. The sweetness comes from the fruit juice so it keeps its natural flavor. This is also another item that I can enjoy during my Daniel Fast. Aside from the fresh fruits, vegetables, dishes, soups, spreads, and more Beverly and Dale are great people. They are so kind and very helpful, I reached out to Beverly for assistance with a local basket I was creating for work. She researched ideas with me and provided great options with local vendors here in Charlotte. I highly recommend Beverly's Gourmet Foods which is locations in the Mecklenburg Farmers Market store.

The worst outcome is the soup is compleyely lost as it splashes all over you and hits the ground. I got lucky and only a small amount of soup got on me and the rest wasn't lost. Lucky in one sense and not another. The soup container had a cracked lip, the lid was pressed on it poorly and together these caused soup to leak from the container and weaken the paper bag. Freshii could use plastic bags and avoid this. The staff could also not used a cracked container and probably have avoided this. I wasn't happy scrambling to catch soup as it broke through the bag. I was angry when I had time to examine the container and figure out what exactly had happened. I have pictures and will upload them. As for the food, it was alright. Not good, but barely ok. I really wanted soup so I got soup. I can only advise you there are better soup places for the same price or less. More service problems: you can try and call in an order but I am yet to have anyone answer. The app for iOS doesn't work like it should.
