I have ate here for years but recently found the customer service is way pass terrible. I ordered through door dash for the 2rd time. My order was over 60 bucks. The price wasn't the issue. The issue is twice they have given my order to the wrong person twice. On the door dash app it showed it was picked up but when I called why not pizza the person was so rude. I only asked where my order was. The lady was like it's not our problem call door dash. I told her I will but why offer door dash if your having so many problems with thim. And she just hung up. Then canceled my order. Didn't even try and fix the problem. read more

Why Not Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I saw this place driving by and had to stop for lunch because I agree, "Why not pizza". I only had slices but they are the typical NY style, big, floppy, need to fold to eat. The slices took a long time to come out and I'm not sure if that is typical as this is the first time I've ever been there. My suspicion is that they had to make a new pizza for the slices because of how long it took. They use canned, not fresh, mushrooms. That doesn't bother me, but I'm pointing it out as I know some are particular about that. Pretty good, but because it's far from where I live, not good enough to go back to unless I happened to already be in the neighborhood. read more

Why Not Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Probably my favorite pizza I've had in a while, and favorite pizza in Charlotte after living here for a year. The large is hilariously...large -- it doesn't fit into our oven. So we obviously order that one each time, and have leftovers for days. Really friendly owners and staff, too! NY style pizza at its best, and good pricing. It's become a Friday night favorite of ours for these good ole quarantine nights in. read more

The pizza was good, I will most likely return for this deliciousness. The wings were small but good. The fries were ok. read more

This has to be a a joke, A slice the works pizza and this is what I got. As you can tell from the pic, it's a slice of already made pepperoni pizza and they threw a punch of the works toppings on top with some weird cheese stuff and called it a day. I was expecting all of the items to be baked together... not added later. The vegetable are crunchy and all of the toppings slide of when I pick the pizza up. This is a sad excuse for pizza. Just awful!!! read more

We had a great XL Hawaiian pizza from here. So good and the garlic knots were spot on with marinara sauce. Living in Hickory Grove having a pizza joint close by is nice hope this place is around for awhile and try other items on their menu. read more

Salad was spoiled but they still didn't won't 2 give my money back this upset my stomach and the fact that I was treated like I stole something made it worse read more

The pizza was cold but decent. Would not recommend buffalo chicken wings. Probably would not order from here again unless I got a slice.

I`m so happy I ran across them on Door Dash, their pizza is amazing, the chef salad is huge and ALL the ingredients are fresh, this is my new favorite Italian restaurant. The prices are very good as well. I would highly recommend, I can`t wait to try EVERYTHING on the menu! Why Not Pizza indeed!! read more

Today was my first visit to Why Not Pizza. I did not have any issues as I gave my order. The cashier was friendly and helpful. As I sat down to wait for my order, there was a customer who became irate due to feeling as if his order was taking too long. He continued to pace back and forth and threatened to get his money back. Although the customer was being very rude, the cashier did not let this upset him. He continued to be professional and courteous. After about 10 minutes or so, my order was ready and it was piping hot. Let me tell you, the taste was amazing. If I had to wait longer for this pizza, it would have been worth it. Perfection takes time. I think I will have to add this place to my rotation. Great pizza... Horrible neighborhood so take this in consideration. read more

Why Not Pizza - Two slices but they were HUGE. The picture doesn't do it justice. - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Pizza seemed a bit "rushed". Overall, I would return. I forgot to take a picture of the menu. The search continues for some almost "got it" NY Style pizza. Wait was long, but, we are in strange times so that was ok. read more

Why Not Pizza - Chicken with cheese. - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Crazy good! I haven't ordered anything from here that I didn't like. Pizza, Chicken wings, Chicken parm, and the cannoli.....!

okay people.i do understand that the covid-19 has alot of businesses in a shamble..but when it comes to this particular situation i just went through.theres no excuse. ok. me and my wife have been wanting to check out this place for quite a while now we finally built up an appetite and craving for pizza and tried our luck. one of the key signature things that stood out to me about this business was that they proclaimed that they had the best i repeat the best! pizza in charlotte north carolina..(false advertisement) i ordered the meat lovers 12-in pizza with an order of lemon pepper wings and buffalo wings a cannoli a side salad and a chicken salad for the wife. it was like a 15-minute wait which is not bad. but with that being said i came to the realization that this was not the best pizza in charlotte i don't think it was the best pizza ever i don't think the pizza was good at all.toppings was falling all off the pizza the dough of the pizza was undone in the middle .you can tell that the sauce was not fresh. canned sauce. and i don't know if you people out there have ever tried a place called sombrero pizza that's what it reminded me of i'm talking about to the t and exact taste. terrible. frozen chicken wings frozen breaded chicken wings burnt and had the audacity to throw lemon pepper on them and plain hot sauce and called that a chicken wing.. from there on i didn't even need to try the rest of the food that i purchased that came out to a whopping total of 45 dollars might i add.. i knew that this was not it. i proceeded to call up to the establishment to politely make a civil calm complaint and was so rudely talk to by the lady that took our order and took our money at the front cashier desk. i think she were more mad at the fact that i said i didn't like the food than try to understand y i didn't ..she tried her best to tell me that they had good food and they prepared my food correctly .when i'm the customer and i'm knowing what i'm receiving and tasting. then she tells me and i quote (well i never should have tried out a new place to eat at) wow!! she was so rude and customer service was so bad i just proceeded to ask for a refund and the lady told me that i could not have a refund ..but i got my refund so if you want some pizza and run across this place i strongly recommend you please save your money or simply go somewhere else this is not it!! read more

This is my go to place for pizza, not only do they have vegan cheese options, they also have outstanding customer service! The crust on their pizza pies is amazingly light and crunchy. read more

Why Not Pizza - Veggie Pizza with Daiya Vegan Cheese - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I decided to give them a try because they have a few vegan options, and whynot? The menu on the wall was a little confusing, but we figured it out. My wife ordered a meatball pizza, my daughter ordered a vegan with onions and black olives, and I ordered a white pizza with jalapenos and onions. After ordering we took a seat and waited. And waited. And waited. Since it was a Friday night, we expected to wait a little while. I was amazed at how many people picked up take out orders while we waited. Finally our pizza was brought to us, and the wait was worth it. Mine had a little bit too much cheese for my taste, but it wasn't too bad. My wife and daughter both loved their selections, which is all that matters anyway. My wife is a New Yorker, she complimented the crust, which she very rarely does South of The City. The decor was kind of strange. Kind of like they were trying for a NY feel, bit also kind of like a sports bar. I don't know. Overall the pizza was good, not great. Seemed a little pricey for pizza, but not too bad. Clearly I'm on the fence with this one. If you're in the area, then whynot? read more

By far, the best pizza spot in Charlotte. This is a hidden gem to many. They even have Why Not Nova's Ice Cream. The ice cream is homemade and delicious. This place has exceptional service. I am so grateful it's in my hood. God bless the Eastside and Why Not Pizza & Why Not Nova's Ice Cream read more

Great pizza! The slices are huge and delicious. Good crust and tasted fresh. Foldable goodness! Sauce was spot on. I will definitely be going back for more! read more

This place has the best NY style pizza in Charlotte!! The pizza is super cheesy and great down to the last bite. They also have amazing honey BBQ wings. Their prices are always reasonable and they have wonderful employees! Update: I had an unusually bad experience today. I ordered a pizza around 5pm and came to pick it up close to 6pm. When I arrived they said that my pizza had been picked up. I told them that I didn't pick the pizza up and the cashier made a rude comment saying "the pizza would have been cold anyways". Instead they gave me another customers pizza and seemed to not care that they sold my pizza to someone else. I've never dealt with such rude customer service. It would have been nice to just have received an apology and have my problem solved. Instead I received a rude attitude and a smaller pizza. Customer service is what makes a business. I won't be visiting this location again. read more

BEST NY authentic pizza hands down ! Great wings, strombolis,steak & cheese , and service every time I visit. I've had almost all the pasta dinners and they taste amazing every time. My garlic knots are always fresh and buttery ! I even save some pasta for my lunch the next day, so you can imagine how much they give you. The sauce for the pizza & pasta dinners are delicious, it's not your typical can sauce that you get in other places ! This is my to go spot ! My whole family and friends love this place. This staff exemplifies teamwork and excellent customer service consistently! I appreciate and enjoy each visit. That's why I return!! read more

Delicious! My favorite go to spot Always polite and attentive. Fresh food always. We've been there from when the doors first opened. Congratulations on your continuous success. So Why Not ? Some Pizza, pasta, sub and more good food. Ice Cream or Cheesecake read more

This is an independent locally owned small business in my neighborhood. A friend of mine from NY highly recommended it as being close to the NY pizza she grew up with. Since I haven't been to NYC enough times to critique the pizza, I'm taking her word for it and after driving by the place on my way to the grocery store in that shopping center I finally stopped in based on her recommendation. Weird thing is that once I went in and saw they had cheesesteaks on the menu that's what I always order so I still can't tell you about their pizza. Based on neighborhood reviews on the Nextdoor app everyone else is in agreement that they have great pizza and other Italian menu items. The service is always great and the staff is friendly. I also like that they give back to the neighborhood in various ways and that counts a lot in my opinion. They aren't just there to make money but actually care about the neighborhood and their neighbors. Maybe one day soon I'll get around to ordering a pizza read more

I really enjoyed the food! I had a pepperoni and sausage pizza and the size was great for the price.

Very good food & service The best pizza I've had in years and I've lived in Manhattan, Boston and Muami. Stop going to the chain pizza places like PJ's (cardboard and dirt ) Domino's and PH, the smaller places are always the best and this one is one of those read more

Tried this place because why not? I got a slice of cheese pizza and it was great! I would go back to try their Italian ice.

Just moved from miami to charlotte. I didn't think I'd be able to find a pizza anywhere like what I used to eat back home. I moved 5 minutes from why not pizza and i decided to try it. I was so pleased to find that this is the perfect pizza for me. The 20in pizza is delicious huge and everything I'd expect out of a ny style pizza. I get extra cheese of course. I would give 5 stars to the restaurant though I've had a few things that weren't to my liking.. but as far as the pizza goes.. hands down without a doubt the best in the area and I am happy to be a repeat customer. Pizza... 10 stars... read more

Love their sweet chili wings fried hard.. tried the honey bbq but wasnt impressed. Great pizza and good cheesecake. I definitely recommend trying. Wait times are around 20 minutes so would definitely call ahead! The only negative is they don't deliver! read more

Why Not Pizza - Sweet chilli wings fried hard, and cheese pizza slice! Nom Nom! - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I had a slice of pizza, cannoli, and the fried ravioli. The pizza slice was huge even bigger than some I've seen in New York. A little greasy but most pizzas are. 8 out of 10. The fried ravioli was awesome not greasy at all, the marinara dipping sauce was a little chunky but still good. 9 out of 10. The cannoli was crispy and over stuffed with a little powdered sugar on top. 10 out of 10. The facility was clean and the people were friendly and they obviously knew what they were doing in the kitchen. There is plenty of parking and seating. The wall decor has a theme but the furniture is low grade. They also have homemade (branded) ice cream but not vanilla, why? The neighborhood but I already live there so doesn't make much of a difference to me, and I don't like local places dying. read more

I frequent this place quite often! Pizza is really good, as the sauce has awesome flavor! Their calzones are HUGE, and packed on the inside! They definitely don't cut any corners on toppings. I'm bummed they don't deliver anymore..... I'd order a lot more! Customer service is pretty good too. read more

Why Not Pizza - Yummmm..... so simple, and yet oh so good!! Nice sized slices that will hit the spot. - Pizza Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We love that there is NY style pizza in East Charlotte. I order their vegan pizza with peppers, onions, and mushrooms and my partner gets pepperoni pizza. Delicious! You won't be displeased. read more

I'm a fan of the teriyaki chicken wings...yes, they are fried, but they were crispy deliciousness in my mouth. The meat was fall of the bone tender. The sauce was a leeeetle saltier than I'd like, but obviously not a deal breaker. Unfortunately, I can't say I absolutely loved the pizza. But WAIT! It's not necessarily their fault! I decided to give free range to my dining companions to choose toppings. We ended up with entirely too many for this thin crust pizza to handle (counting them now, I can recall at least 8). I'd like to go back and give it another try with 2-4 toppings and see how I feel about it. We also tried the jalapeño poppers - I do not recommend them. Too much breading and bland (tasted like they came frozen from a bag). So, WHY am giving them 4 stars? FIRST, chicken wings!!! If anything I'll be back for them. SECOND, customer service (the cashier) was friendly and very helpful. THIRD, I can see the pizza has potential and as another reviewer mentioned, the prices are indeed pretty fair. read more

I know it's a pizza place, but I had the chicken parmigiana and kids spaghetti bland everything and the chicken was just breaded chicken tenders that we're soggy and taste freezer burned. It took some work to get down but I was raised to never throw food out so I managed to eat enough to where I wouldn't feel guilt about sharing the leftovers with Oscar aka the trash can. I will not be trying the pizza cause if they can't do pasta right I have little hope they can make a decent pie. They can't even make proper garlic knots, they looked more like pilsbury crescent rolls and really hard to chew. Focus on pizza and do that as well as possible, get rid of the pasta dishes or source better recipes and ingredients. read more

Best place in Charlotte to get NY style pizza, Stromboli is out of this world and the chicken wings are always cook to perfection. Lunch specials star at $4.99 including a soft drink? you can't beat that!! Reasonable prices, family oriented place. Customer service ,friendly service. read more

I had been wanting to check out this place for a while because I've heard good things about the pizza. I called in for my order and the girl who picked up was so extremely rude that I didn't even bother ordering. Might want to consider hiring someone who better represents your company with some decent customer service! read more

My favorite pizza place in Charlotte! I always get the white pizza and my fiancé likes their "works" pizza. We've also tried their pasta dishes as well, the portions on those are huge! The prices are very reasonable and the people that work here are super friendly. Wait time is usually a little longer than what they quote, but that's not a big deal, I'd rather be getting my pizza right when it's coming out of the oven than have it sitting and waiting for me to get there. They also own the ice cream shop attached to it, which is delicious as well! read more
