This place has been in my Charlotte pizza bucket list for a while. It moved up the list after I felt that a local food influencer treated them unfairly. Glad it did. My son and I sent in on a Wednesday afternoon around 2. We got a parking spot right in the street up front. But, there aren't many. I am guessing there is a lot behind? The place was empty given the hour. The woman behind the counter was a little cool at first but really warmed up to us and was fantastic. Great personality. We ordered a cheese pie and the margherita. Whenever I hit a pizza place, I always get a cheese pie. It is the great equalizer. The cheese pie was a life changing experience. The cheese had a flavor I cannot describe that was AMAZING! Growing up, my family used to make a dessert called Halawa de Jibon. It is made with mozzarella and farina (not cream of wheat!!). Anyway, I swear the flavor reminded me of that. So they add farina to their cheese?! The margherita was also fantastic. Their crust is out of this world good. We sat at a small bar with windows out to the front. What a fantastic experience and cannot wait to go back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Good and freshly made. We shared their special calzone for lunch there. Ingredients were good quality and flavorful. The have seating inside and outside, plus they have lots of board and table games that you can play while you're there. Friendly service too. read more

First time dining in. Hands down the best pizza in CLT. Stop trying all the others. No really. This is the spot. Perfect undercarriage. No flop, not too greasy, perfectly balanced, good chew, quality fresh ingredients, light airy. Great outdoor patio that's dog friendly. Shoutout to the golden pup. Old school inviting vibes. Hopscotch on the floors. read more

When I first moved to Charlotte in the 80s the best pizza to be found, probably, was Godfather's. We had only chains and, for a splurge, Luisa's. Now, somehow, we have every kind of pizza under the sun available in the Queen City (except Chicago style, RIP Rosatti's, but that's more pizza casserole anyway). I have tried most varieties but always seem to go back to a good slice of NY style. Fold it in half and munch away. Zeppedie's in LoSo seemed to be in that category, and I was craving pie all week, so I got a takeout pizza with meatballs and onions so I would have enough for leftovers. The sauce caught my attention first. It's got a bite to it and is absolutely and clearly handcrafted. Like you could taste the fresh tomatoes and seasonings. The crust was a bit chewy and a bit crispy, as a NY style slice should be and fresh as heck. The meatball and onions toppings were tasty, but as others have noted they were a little sparser than I'd have liked. The meatballs themselves were loosely put together, so the slices had what tasted like a pinch or two of well-seasoned hamburger. It's what caused me to knock off one star. I didn't really wanna but there we are. I normally get just plain cheese, and I suspect I would have been happier with the result. I'm a basic girl. So consider this review 4.5 stars, especially since I appreciate a place that lets you specify the level of doneness for your pizza. Definitely going to try it again and definitely recommend. Excellent entry to LoSo and our side of town in general. read more

We were staying at an AirBnb nearby, but some of our party was arriving late and we didn't have a dinner plan. It made sense to find a local place on Uber Eats vs some chain pizza place and that worked for everyone. We order a Caesar salad to share, an order of mozzarella sticks, a large pepperoni pizza, and a large sausage pizza. For a random pizza place, we were impressed with everything we got. The Caesar had real shaved parm on top and was a good size for sharing. The mozzarella sticks only had four pieces, but they were massive. Then the pizzas had great flavor and and a delicious thin crust. We kept picking on everything until it was gone. It was an easy but delicious dinner for a group of adults. read more

I recently was out with some friends at Lower Left Brewing and while our initial plan was to go grab pizza somewhere after, we changed our mind once we realized that Zepeddie's is right next door. They actually have an agreement with Lower Left and you can order at the brewery and then either walk next door to pick up your pizza when it's ready or I believe in some cases they'll bring it right to you. This seemed like a great option as we were enjoying ourselves on a lovely evening so we decided to give it a shot. They offer some 12" pies priced between $15-$20 depending on which one you go with. I went with the Big Gabagool which could be considered their version of a meat lovers pizza as it comes with pepperoni, capicolla, and meatball. The pizza was good and the crust was nice and crispy, but the cheese and toppings all slid off after the first bite and I was mostly finishing it with a fork which usually means the cheese didn't melt into the dough enough or maybe it was too slick because of the oil used. Don't get me wrong it was perfectly good to eat and I would get it again in a heartbeat the next time I found myself at Lower Left, but I'm not sure if this is pizza I would go out of my way to get otherwise. My girlfriend on the other hand did a BYO calzone and loved it. It was large enough that she had leftovers the next day and she said it was just as good heated up the second time! I'll probably try one of those next time. read more

Easy 5 stars. The Thick Crust pizza is amazing, the focaccia bread is top quality and they load up the ingredients - highly recommend the Napolitano. I also ordered a couple flavors of wings - Lemon Pepper and Habanero Fanta Fire. Both were great. They're not lying about the Habanero ones being 17.5/10 on the spicy scale haha they were extremely hot but tasted really good. My mouth only hurt temporarily, but it was intense while it lasted. Exactly what I was hoping for lol read more

I live in the loso neighborhood and got a postcard in the mail promoting a deal to get a large pizza with a free cannoli and garlic knots. I had asked for a pepperoni pizza and was given a cheese which is okay. It still was good but likely will not be my go to pizza shop in the area based on the price. I feel like it is a little too pricy for a basic pizza. Overall the food was good. I wish the parking situation was a bit better or there were 2-3 carry away spots. read more

Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza (4/5): Good flavors with special sauce and pickles. I really liked the finely shredded lettuce. Couldn't taste the bacon at all and only got a hint of the burger meat. Big Gabagool Pizza (3/5): The dough was pretty good, but the amount of sauce and toppings made it really soggy. The sauce was more marinara sauce than pizza sauce. Tasted like I was eating a meatball sub which isn't what I really want from a pizza. 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) read more

Pizza and wings are well prepared. Pizza had good amount of flavor and toppings. Cheese was sharp in taste which is what I like. Breading cooked well. Nothing too floppy. Wing sauce was great, was simple bbq but tasted fresh. I'd recommend for sure, hard to find good pizza in Charlotte. Pleasantly, surprised. Better than some places I've had in North East. Eat in option is small, more of a takeout place. Very limited space. read more

Zepeddie's Pizzeria is a great addition to the Charlotte food scene. They were closed for over a decade and have finally come back. While the food is affordable, they don't sacrifice quality or skimp on flavor. Even their gluten-free meatballs are fantastic - they use oats to bind them, keeping them light. My favorites were the crispy mozzarella stix and the Big Gabagool pizza which is their version of a meat lovers pie. It even has capicola! They also serve local beers in the freezer so I love their willingness to support local vendors. Service was exceptional. Even when I sat down to eat my pizza and forgot my plate, a team member brought me one - it's the little details that matter. Parking is ample on the street. And the overall vibe of the restaurant is quaint. It's a great place for takeout or to grab have a casual bite inside at one of their few indoor tables, sitting at the laptop bar, or even outside on the patio. read more

The Bad: So I'm not a fan of this thick crust pizza. The bread to toppings ratio is waaaaaaay off. You could split the bread in half and it still would be considered a thick crust pizza. As you can see, the outer pieces barely have toppings on it. This can't be it New York. The Good: i ordered the classic pepperoni and seasoned beef toppings. For the pepperoni pieces that weren't overcooked....they were good. The seasoned beef toppings were really good. Flavorful. The sauce tastes homemade using fresh tomatoes. I will return to try the thin crust pizza......and maybe a canolli. #GratuityAdded #Zepeddies #Cltpizza #pizzatime #NYStyle #pizzalovers #CLTNewEats #pizzeria #foodblogger #charlottesgotalot #EatDrinkCharlotte #foodlover #foodstagram #keeppounding #CLTMuckbang #charlottefoodie #NCRed #cltpizzerias #CharlotteResturants #wheretoeatcharlotte read more

The service was great here. You order at a counter and then we planned on eating it at Lower Left next door. These nice people offered to walk it over for us! The large meatball sub was preferred and maybe 2 feet long. The calzone was cooked well. . We were able to pick our own toppings. We both wished there was more toppings and less cheese. Also would be happier if the toppings were spread out evenly within the calzone. Perhaps next time I will double the meat. We are glad to see one of our favorite breweries has a pizza joint next door! read more

AMAZING FOOD!! As New Yorkers we are very tough on pizza but this was amazing! The bread there was so delicious and i cannot rave enough. I think it was the owner who came out but he was so nice and chatted with us for a bit. Super friendly and absolutely delicious food! The outside seating is really nice would definitely eat there if you can. read more

Fast and hot. Did pick up and all was good. Ordered Pepperoni and a Meat Lovers. Slightly disappointed in the Mozzarella but would still order again. read more

Great food, only wish dinning area was larger. I make sure to grab food here every time I'm in the area!

Picked up a late night pie after an event in LoSo. The spot is super cute and inviting, I'd like to go back and eat on the patio when it gets warmer. Even after making the trek home with it, it was delicious! Foldable, toppings stay on, great NY style slice. The crispy pepperoni was great and there was minimal grease. Heated up the leftovers the next day, and it was still great! read more

I'm not one to throw five stars around Willy Nilly. Today I finally got to visit this establishment. Very small with a lovely vibe. I was happy to see actual ovens being used. I'm not a fan of the conveyor belt oven. I ordered a plain cheese pie and a meatball Stromboli. I'm happy to report the taste of both was excellent. The quality of the ingredients had me impressed. I would definitely recommend stopping here. I hope they survive the revolving door of restaurants here in charlotte. Good luck guys. Well done! read more

I just moved to Charlotte and am in temporary housing in Uptown and have been loving trying the new pizza places around here. This one seems to be doing it right. I love to get a pizza delivered uncut so I can zhuzh it up later with my own additional toppings (Gotta save $$$ wherever you can) and reheat it at 350 for about 10-12 minutes. I got a standard 12" pepperoni pizza and added some fresh jalapeno, green olive and banana peppers. This place is a winner. So far I'm 2 for 2 on Charlotte pizza. Brixx last week, Zepeddie's tonight. Going to be 10lbs heavier by the time I move out of here at the end of the month. read more

The staff was amazing and this place was the perfect stop for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I decided to try a build your own 12" pizza and it was hot and fresh. Seriously, they would make the Ninja Turtles proud with how cheesy each slice was. I would highly recommend trying them out and don't get discouraged by the parking - as with most places in this area, parallel parking is king. read more

Stopped by on Sunday to try out the pizza. Our group was able to chat with Chris, the GM/chef, who was engaging and thoughtful. We appreciated the customer service - Ty was upbeat and friendly, and helped us make good selections (so did Jacolby). We were going to eat at the outside tables, but opted to head next door to Lower Left Brewing to grab a drink. We were incredibly pleasantly surprised to see Chris walking our way with a treat: the most delicious focaccia I've ever had, along with two spread options: one was an olive tapenade with artichokes and feta cheese, and the other meatballs in red sauce. Fantastic. Fast forward to me starting to get up to go pick up our order -- only to see Chris and Ty delivering our meal to us! Even brought utensils and everything. And if that wasn't enough, he showed up a few minutes later with a knife to help us cut the gargantuan chicken parm sandwich. (Seriously, the large is HUGE.) While the food was tasty, the service is the real reason we'll be back. It is clear that Chris cares about this business, and is running it with that spirit. We were truly made to feel that we mattered, and that our business was appreciated. Way to kick off our Sunday in spectacular fashion, Zepeddie's team! read more

Fantastic pies, sandwiches, and people. Very kind owners who let me sample a potential new menu item (I don't want to spoil it but it is a sandwich and fantastic-new sausage is legit). Great drink/beer selection; homemade bread, sauces, fresh ingredients-I drive 40 mins through the hell of 77 to go and am never mad at it-well worth the trip! read more

Zepeddie's Pizzeria has been one of my favorites lately! It is located in Lower SouthEnd, a bit on the rougher side but don't let that deter you! They have a parking lot and street parking, plus indoor and outdoor seating. Can't wait till the warmer weather decides to stick around. My favorites has to be their wings! They're fried in duck fat and I aim to eventually try all their flavors. They're crispy and juicy. I was pretty excited to see fish sauce chicken wings. I've also tried one of their calzones and omg, it's massive. Everything was delicious and you get a pretty good amount of food for the price you pay. Friendly service and it's a chill spot. Highly recommend this place! read more

Great pizza and environment! Very friendly staff. We enjoyed the overall experience! Thank you very much.

Best pizza in CLT hands down. They use organic milled flour and it's very easy on the stomach. The pizza is just amazing in general.
