It's a cute spot, and occasionally they have specials that bring the prices down, but as a whole I just think it's way too expensive for what you get read more

We were in town on a quick trip. We desperately wanted good salads. The pizza was a bonus. The salads were so fresh and flavorful. The pizza delicious too! Great food and well prices. We had our order delivered and there were no issues with our order (which is super rare with delivery)! read more

Pure Pizza - Farmers Salad so amazing, light and simple. - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was on the fence about Pure Pizza after having only visited their 7th Street Market location but this Plaza Midwood location won me over! The old house it's in is adorable. I came for a lunch meeting and we lingered for a couple hours, just chatting and plotting to take over the world. There wasn't a crowd, btw. We weren't total jerks, taking a table when others were waiting. In fact, when we left at 3pm, we were the only ones in the place. From the minute you walk in the door, you're greeted by the smell of pizza crust. Can someone turn that smell into an air freshener for me? Seriously. My mouth started watering immediately! I had grand plans of getting a salad but the minute I smelled the baking dough, it was a lost cause. Pizza all the way! I ordered the Chorizo pizza and regret nothing! It was delicious -- greasy chorizo balanced with sliced radish, red onions, fresh tomatoes, cilantro and a lime wedge that I squeezed over the entire thing. All on the sprouted ancient grain dough because that's healthy, right?! It was such a unique flavor combination and I loved every bite. In case all that wasn't enough, they also offer up Cloister Honey to dip your crust. I had the bourbon honey. It was totally gross. Trust me. You shouldn't order it. I'll just take on the burden of eating all the bourbon honey for everyone. ;) read more

Pretty good pizza for down South. I'm probably a more harsh critic as NY City pizza is the vede and always will be. The pesto pizza is solid. read more

I like way more seasoning and a sweeter red sauce but everything is still really really good for me. The staff was nice and parking wasn't a hassle. I'm definitely coming back and will probably get the exact same thing - xtra garlicky knots w/10" Slap Yo Mama Lasagna Pizza....It's the freshness for me. Plus I'm 7 minutes away. read more

Pure Pizza - nom nom !! - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Always fresh and amazing, the wild mushrooms, margarita, and white pie are the best around Charlotte! And that is coming from a 23 year Brooklyn NYC resident. The Greek salad and dressing are always on point and a perfect pairing with some pizza. Kudos, I will continue to satisfy my pizza cravings from here. read more

My food was great, a vegan pizza, until we all lost our appetite when my friend found this ALIVE in her salad. When shown to the restaurant, they did not want to give her a refund at first; "our lettuce comes from a locally sourced location that does not use pesticides, we wash the lettuce but sometimes things fall through." she was thankfully given a refund but can't say I will ever be back. Sure some things may fall through, but something this size and alive was very unsettling - and the staff made it seem like it was nothing. read more

Pure Pizza - bugworm in food in Caesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This is the best pizza in Plaza Midwood by far. The flavor combinations are fantastic or you can create your own but the crust is what separates them from the rest. read more

Pure Pizza is my. kind. of 'za. To start things off, we got free garlic knots with our check in on Yelp! Love that. The marinara sauce with the knots was legit, and we made sure to keep the leftover to dip our pizza, too. I had a side caesar after the knots and before the pizza that was pretty good as well. I think it was butter lettuce in the salad which I'm not a huge fan of, but the salad was cold, served in a cold bowl, and the dressing and croutons were good. On to the pizza. The way the pizza is made, I'm not sure exactly how to classify the style, but I know it's what I look for in a pizza and it reminds me of what I used to eat growing up. Flavorful but not overbearing toppings/sauce with a slightly thinner than your regular hand-tossed crust that ends up being super crunchy. It's an A+ pie in my book. I got the Slap Yo Mama Lasagna pizza that included Tomato sauce, Mozzarella, Ricotta, ground beef, onions, garlic, herbs. It was SO GOOD. Nothing too fussy but still a ton of flava in ya ear. Going through the menu, there's also a good variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options if you're into that kind of thing. My girlfriend got the She Rex - Mozzarella, mushrooms, onion, peppers, topped with greens tossed in lemon vinaigrette, and the slices I had of that were also real good. The next time I get pizza that is not way way too late been drinking too much pizza, it's 100% going to be Pure Pizza. read more

Its 9:30 at noght and I just left the Interfaith pro immigration demonstrations in First Ward Park. The table next to me is discussing geopolotics. I'm waiting for the T-Rex pizza. My coisin insisted on this one last time we were here. His suggestions are always welcome. He loves locally sourced, organic fair. I could care less but its always nice when it happens. I love the food here, and unlike its 7th St. Market counterpart the stand alone complex on Central Ave. is perfect for a quiet meal in a comfortable enviorment. The complementary honey burbon sauce is the perfect compliment for lonely pizza ends. It's a self serve restaurant with friendly wait staff that ensures prompt and reliable service. The parking can sometimes be dicy, but not tonight. My vegetarian aspirations will have to wait. read more

Came here on a Sunday for brunch with a Groupon deal. They have a parking lot at the central location. The establishment has an eclectic vibe. The place was probably an old house made a restaurant which was unique and crafty. The food is reasonably priced. The service was good. I had the palmetto sandwich which came highly recommended by the server. It was just okay for me. My friend had a mushroom pizza which was okay for her. We had the garlic knots which came in a set of 4 they were made fresh. We had mimosas which were okay as well. Nothing stood out as delicious or extraordinary. The floor shook tremendously with each step the waitresses took. Overall it was okay but I don't know if I would pay the prices without the groupon deal. I like the fact that they have gluten free options and 100 whole spouted grain. It may be bette in the evening. read more

I was beginning to think the pizza in this town just sucks. I still think that, but Pure Pizza is the exception. Both locations have their perks but this one feels more intimate than an open market. Great drink specials through the week, and the pizza is soo good. Snag an order of garlic knots (free when you check in on yelp) and get the Pepperoni Supreme. Garlicky, hot peppers, and crispy pepperoni. The crust is perfectly chewy and you can fold this pizza, without losing all your toppings. Can't go wrong! read more

Came here for brunch with a Groupon deal, pretty underwhelmed but I have to say it was worth it with the deal. It would't be without. As a pizza lover, I like my pizza done certain way. I wouldn't send it back if it was done defiantly- every pizzeria has their own style. I got the wild mushroom with an egg on it and I wasn't a big fan of it. With that being said, it's named Pure Pizza because of their: - Locally and seasonally sourced toppings . - Organically grown California tomatoes. - Finest WI and NC cheeses. - They offer ancient grain dough (100% whole grains without wheat). - Gluten-free dough. Daily specials: Monday: $1 OMB Copper. Tuesday: BOGO on pizza. Wednesday: Half Price Bottles of Wine. Thursday: Kids Eat Free. Friday and Saturday: Large (1) Topping Pizza + Beer Pitcher $33 Three and Half Yelps. read more

I called in my order around 8:40pm for pickup and was given an estimated wait time of 20min- totally standard and no complaints there. Servers are super friendly. I arrived around 9pm but my pizza was already luke warm...I expected better for a $29 pizza. This might be one of those pizza joints where it's better to dine in. The pies are thin (which is how I prefer them) but those tend to cool very quickly and are much better served piping hot. I would like to go back to give this place another shot but will be dining in. They have daily specials so be sure to check out their website for those. TL/DR: Dine in for best quality read more

We came here on a Groupon we bought for brunch. I had a Bloody Mary which wasn't my style. It had sake instead of vodka. But if your a Bloody Mary connoisseur give it a try. They have a Bloody Mary bar with all the go to's! Bummed I had to send my food back not once but twice for an raw/under cooked egg. After the 2nd time I was hoping for something new but they brought back my omelette microwaved another time. I would get pizza next time as hubby raves about it. Disappointed I boxed up the now over-cooked half-picked at omelette. On a better note, Hubby had bacon, egg cheese pizza the "hoofy " he loved it! It's a great space , locally -sourced farm to table, good beer selection and outside seating. Will be back but maybe not for brunch for a while. read more

Ordered a pizza with goat cheese and chicken it was amazing. Garlic knots also yummy. I could drink the red sauce !! Got take out (thanks corona) and it came warm and fresh. My friend who can't have dairy also said the marinara pizza was excellent. Would definitely return! read more

We don't eat a lot of pizza but decided to order one to have while watching a zoom event. We had the mushroom and garlic and it was great. Great flavor and not to much crust. One large pizza is good for three people, but if there are four you may want something to go with it. read more

We really love Pure Pizza. We were here last Sunday for the 3rd or 4th time. We end up at this location for brunch and have had dinner a handful of times at 7th Street Station. We have had the shorter, dark haired lady as our server most of the times that we've been here and she is laid back and always makes you feel welcome. (Hey, she puts up with my husband's jokes!) Our favorite is The Ol Boy pizza. Eggs, chicken, bacon, red bell peppers , onions and hot sauce. After one visit where there may have been an accident with the hot sauce bottle (pizza completely covered in hot sauce) I ask for it on the side. This way the pizza isn't getting soggy also. SO GOOD!! They have THE BEST CRUST and all of the toppings are perfect together. Be sure to ask for some honey to dip your crust in. It's not Jug O Honey that someone bought from Sams club. It's Cloister honey and after trying it here, I had to go buy a bottle of the bourbon honey. Also, go for the mimosas. Thanks, Pure Pizza! Everything was great! read more

We have ordered from Pure for several years, principally because our son has to have the sprouted grain crust. I ordered online tonight for pickup, paid the extra $2.50 for a sprouted grain crust, only to find out when I arrived (by a tiny sign) that Pure no longer offers that crust. When I asked about it, the young woman up front went to the back, presumably to talk to a manager, then returned to tell me I needed to deal with ChowNow if I wanted a refund. Pure has no internet presence, no Facebook page, and no obvious way to contact them other than a phone number -- answered by the same young woman. We will not be back. read more

Wholesome, healthy pizza. Being a NYer, we are automatically considered pizza snobs. I guess the more the review means? Since moving here, I've been on the hunt for a good pizza spot. This place is just it! Got to taste it during a Yelp CLTmade event and great the background story of how the business started. What an amazing and inspiring story! The more praise does this place get. Healthy conscious ingredients, that your body and taste buds will love. Locally sourced flavors and add-ons (uhm cloister honey for dipping the crust!-mindblown) chorizo! Meat-lovers and vegetarian options. Gotta love a good place that makes 'junk food' less junk and actual food to nourish your body! Yep! This NYer found her pizza spot! read more

Pure Pizza - Nom nom nom - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Great spot! Prices are a little steep but the food is worth it. Their craft pizzas are the way to go.

The pizza tasted very good - the crust was well done and had the right chew. However, the prices are ridiculous! The base cheese pizza starts off costly and then add a few toppings and you are paying $40 for the pie. It would be one thing if the toppings were generous - but so skimpy we weren't even sure we got what we ordered. Too expensive for what you get. Their neighbor is actually tastier and much less expensive! read more

My partner and I eat at Pure regularly and without fail, each time we spend the rest of the day raving about how d*mn good this place is! It's my favorite oven-baked pizza in the city, by far. The ingredients are always fresh and flavorful and even the crust is delicious--and that's coming from someone who never eats the "pizza bones." The crust is so good that they give you infused honeys to dip crust in, which is basically free dessert; I highly suggest the bourbon + chipotle honeys double-dipped. Besides the food, the staff here is always so sweet and friendly, this is truly a neighborhood gem. read more

Pure Pizza - Classic pesto pizza with peppers, onions, and pepperoncini. - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

HORRIBLE service!!! We waited 45 minutes for our food and they weren't even busy. When I asked the server why people that came in after us had their food she rolled her eyes. Finally they brought out my daughter's pizza then mine 10 minutes later. The server never even bothered to come back to check on us. I had to ask a different server for our check. I told the manager and he never even apologized. Crazy! The food was good but the service, well there are too many pizza places in Charlotte to put up with attitudes from waitresses. No thank you! We won't be going back! read more

Pure Pizza is my favorite pizza in Charlotte, hands down. Tucked into an old stone building off of Central Avenue, a short walk from Plaza Midwood, Pure Pizza is as good as it gets. Fresh, locally-sourced ingredients set their pizza apart from all others. Not only that, but they've pioneered one of the only truly gluten-free crusts in the city. It's pretty fantastic, and I don't even have a GF requirement. Pick-up from their store on Central is easy... as pizza pie! read more

I LOVE pizza and love vegan pizza to boot so I was happy to see Pure have vegan cheese on their menu. I had the brussels sprouts sans bacon or cheese, which were delicious! Often when you take away the bacon the dish loses its flavor, but not in this case. Then I had a custom pizza with vegan cheese, bell pepper, and arugula. The pepper was somewhat sparse but not a huge deal. It was very good. The crust was clearly fresh. They tossed a bit of olive oil on the arugula which was a nice move. The staff seemed quite bored and not exactly thrilled about working but alas. There was a rambunctious group in the back but nothing egregious. My only real complaint is that their music was far too loud, especially for 6pm on a Monday night. Otherwise, I recommend this spot and will definitely go back! read more

My wife and I decided to make this place our stop for dinner tonight. When we pulled into the parking lot, we both had dejavú. I nice place name LuLu's used to occupy this space in the past. I checked in with yelp, so we got some free garlic knots with our order. Very good by the way. On Wednesday it's $3 drafts night, so I was in my element. I enjoyed two beers with my dinner. My wife order a gluten free pizza, which she said was oks we are still trying to find a place with a good gluten free pizza. The journey continues. My pizza was good. Not memorable, but good. Our waitress seemed a little off. Almost like she was new to the occupation. Not very with it, but my wife and I were happy, so it was all good. I'd like to recognize Tina, an employee that came by and chatted us up. She was very friendly, and I would actually come back to hang and talk with her. She should be lauded. Will we come back? I doubt it. Too many choices around town to settle for an ok experience read more

I can't describe in enough detail how wonderful this place is! My children and I are gluten intolerant and have an allergy to dairy. It is so hard to find great pizza we can eat. We usually have to make it at home. Kind of ruins the pizza night vibe when I have to make it myself, ya know? We love that they have dairy free cheese! Wow! My kids can actually get a pizza with cheese on it when they go out? Nice! Not only that but the sprouted grain dough (think Ezekiel bread) was so yummy. No thin cracker-like crust which most gluten frees are like. Soft, chewy and delicious. We had excellent service too. We will be back! read more

I really enjoyed the Yelp Charlotte Made event with Pure Pizza, and I finally got a chance to check it out on my own. The menu is huge, there are so many options--we tried to garlic knots (FREE when you check in on Yelp!) and the smoked salmon pizza. Both were incredible. We really wanted to try something different and signature for Pure, so instead of creating our own pizza we picked one from the menu. Crust was incredible, plenty of cheese--and when have you had a pizza that tasted like a lox bagel!? Capers and everything. The marinara was homemade and so flavorful--we added it to to the pizza, we couldn't get enough! read more

This place is so good! My friends and I decided to try a lot of different things together and literally every item was delicious! Our favorite was the Veggie Tuck n Rolls. I loved how there was an original menu and a vegan/vegetarian menu, this made picking out our food easier. On top of the super friendly staff woman that helped us pick out some of these items. We sat in the restaurant but it was clean and the staff continued to wear mask which is much appreciated for me. I will be returning the next time l visit the area.

I've been waiting to try Pure Pizza for a long time. Last night, my husband and I stopped by for a quick bite to eat before heading out to see Dinosaur Jr. at The Neighborhood Theatre. Wow! It was well worth the wait! We started with the garlic knots, which were delicious. I ordered the 10 inch classic cheese, and my husband ordered the T-Rex. Both pizzas were fantastic. The crust was crispy on the outside with a bit of char, but soft on the inside (just the way I like it). I love that the beer list is written on a paper plate! My husband loved his pizza and hasn't stopped talking about how wonderful and fresh the sausage tasted on his pie. Pure Pizza is now our new favorite pizza spot in Charlotte! read more

This pizza has some amazing elements. First off, the sauce is perfectly balanced; not too sweet, not too hearty. Toppings are plentiful and made from quality ingredients!

Pure Pizza - Bar - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Pure Pizza marches to its own drum, and I mean that in the best way. I happened to be in town overnight and my BIL is currently living in Charlotte. He said PP is one of his favorites and so, we had dinner here. First - I love the space. It's a converted 20's bungalow and I have much love for old spaces that are well used and preserved. There's a big takeout counter when you enter and a hidden (tiny) bar toward the rear - in front is a lovely patio. Apparently when it's "nice" (ahahaha it was like 65 out and I guess that is "cold" here) the patio is packed. Anyway - PP has a special every night and just my luck, Thursdays is "kids eat free" - hooray? Actually, it was fine because it seems like people in Charlotte actually parent, and don't let their kids run amok like at home. Second - the food is really tasty. I ordered pizza because the place is called Pure PIZZA and not Pure Sandwich. You can get anything in a 10" which is the right size for one person or you can go buck wild and get a big pie to share. Mine was delicious - crisp, chewy crust, fresh sauce and just a bit of spice. Apparently there is honey to dip yo' crust in? Must be a local thing but we weren't offered it and I surely did not miss it as I ate every bite of that lovely, airy crust as it was - unadorned and beautiful. Third - service is...well, it's something. Kind and welcoming for sure. Perhaps a tad...absentminded? I mean, they want you to be happy. Everyone is nice. They're just on a different time zone? Be patient. You might have to ask for a refill more than once, but come on - where else do you have to be? Pure Pizza is delicious for sure. Come armed with time and a sense of humor and prepare for some good eats. Also, don't be parking in the VFW lot next door - you've been warned and they have a cannon. read more

I was disappointed in the pizza here. Tasted like cardboard. Service was ok. Would not recommend to others.
