Due Amici Pizza

Miss this place so much! Moved to Columbia SC 3 years ago and CANNOT get decent pizza anywhere. We were in Charlotte yesterday and made a point of stopping by. Had pizza there and took a stuffed pizza home. Still GREAT. Thanks guys and keep up the great pizza!

Good food, but dont believe the time they tell you when you call for take out… i waited an additional 15 min. Not good for buisness.

Best food on the planet. This is the place I go to every other day when I do have money. It’s a great place, with warm people who are accepting as well.
The food is great. Everything from their pizza to Italian ice is absolute fire (amazing.) I usually eat their garlic knots, so I will say, best garlic knots you’ll ever have.

Been here a lot of times. Their salads are excellent and chicken Parm is so delicious !

This is a great little spot. It’s café-​style pizza joint; when you go in, you order from the counter, they bake your slice fresh, then call out when it’s ready. They sell pizza by the slice, as well as whole pizzas, calzones, and so-​on. I had the caprese pizza by the slice (fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and roasted red peppers on a crispy, tasty crust), and 3 garlic knots. …TO DIE FOR! The ingredients were fresh and they used them generously. The slices are huge and the garlic knots were soooooo soft and buttery. My friends had Sicilian and sausage pepperoni pass — also remarkable. This pizza is off the chain.

What a major disappointment ! The only authentic New York part of this place is the RUDE SERVICE THEY GIVE YOU !
We ordered garlic knots And it came out a piece of dry bread barely covered with garlic for and no dipping sauce and when we asked for dipping sauce we were told it was 50 cents extra !! WTF!!! Thought it could not get worse then the pizza came! Wish we could have the pizza first that way we could have used The damn GREASE TO DIP THE GARLIC BREAD IN!
THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat in between my appointments today. I had never noticed this place before until I drove by it. Checked my Unilocal reviews first before I went in. Reviews were fair to good so I decided to give it a try. I went in about 11:30 AM today and I was surprised that there weren’t many available types of pizza to buy. I would think that around lunch time they would have many more pizzas out for you to buy. I was only looking to buy one slice but I was forced to buy two because they have a five dollar minimum charge if you use a debit card. That’s a bit annoying. Because I only want one slice of pizza. The pizza itself was just OK. Wasn’t anything spectacular. Like many other reviewers stated, the crust was kind of like cardboard. They have some other things that looked pretty tasty like calzones, salads and hoagies. I may or may not return. Unenthused.

When I first tried the pie a few years back it rated as one of the best in Charlotte. The quality has since declined a bit. It’s above average for Charlotte, but not by much. The attitude of the staff and owner is often not pleasant. I have also tried one sandwich and one pasta. I found both to be average. This is a pizza place, and not a bad one, but just not one of the best.

Went to Due Amici’s the other day: it’s near my house and has such amazing reviews, so might as well give it a shot. Boy, it did not disappoint. My hubs and I went up to order their veggie pizza, and were quickly guided away from ordering one of the largest sizes. I very much appreciated the input from such amazingly friendly owners. We finally ordered the medium veggie pizza, and was very glad we did not order the large. The medium is enough to feed a small family! LARGE pizzas!
I’ve never been to New York, and I have never been to Italy, but I imagine the pizza to taste like what you may get at Due Amici Pizza. Large slices, of fresh ingredients, with an unique marinara sauce. The pizza dough is cooked well, but still melts in your mouth.
They have calzones, pasta, and many other options on the menu. With how amazing their pizza is, I’m sure everything else is fantastic. I can’t wait to go back and try it again!

If you’re looking for perfection, you just found it. Great service, mouth watering food, great prices, and a good place to just sit and eat. Not very fancy, but it’s just right for a casual lunch or dinner.

Great pizza! Always great, always warm. Gold garlic knots too. Authentic family and great chefs.

Went here for the first time yesterday, after seeing the reviews I thought this place was going to be epic. When actually it was just alright. 4 slices of pizza and 2 drinks cost right under $ 20 and they basically just reheat what they have sitting on the counter. Crust was crunchy and the cheese was super stringy so that was a good thing. Just not one of those places that I would actually crave or want to go to. Nice people, just overpriced. Fuel pizza is on the same level in my opinion, this is just more of a family owned atmosphere.

My fiancé loves this place because it’s one of the few pizza places where you can top pizza with ricotta cheese. They have yummy greasy NY style pizza… let’s be real, if people complain about grease they shouldn’t be eating pizza lol. I also love their wings, super crisp and drenched in the perfect amount of sauce. For 10 pieces of wings and a 16in pizza I paid around $ 30, a little pricey but worth it.

My husband and I love coming here! It is our favorite pizza joint! I love how their sausage is sliced just like pepperoni! So delish!

I had the pepperoni pizza. Wifey brought it home for me to devour here in my castle. I can’t rate the service, the location itself, or anything other than the pizza.
Greasy as elsewhere and nothing to write home about. There was nothing inherently wrong with the pizza but the problem was that there was nothing inherently right with it either. It was better than frozen pizza but had absolutely nothing to make me choose this place over another for pizza. Unless I find only worse pizza elsewhere I will come back to this place for pizza, or I will get a clue and abandon pizza in this area.
I hope there is better pizza out here — the stereotype for university area should be pizza galore.

I was visiting Charlotte from Durham and my wife was craving NY pizza, so we came here expecting «amazing NY pizza» and «the best pizza in Charlotte». We each ordered a plain slice, our litmus test for pizza, and shared a Greek salad and a chicken parm hero. The slices were underwhelming. The sauce is bland and the cheese tastes like it’s stale or something. Maybe everyone is REALLY tired of Pizza Hut around here, maybe a lot of people come here totally blunted? I don’t know, but if you’re from Brooklyn… did you live there or move down here as an infant and never try real NY pizza?
«The best Greek salad» was iceberg lettuce with a few slices of red onion, some tomato and cucumbers and dry crappy feta crumbles. The dressing was pretty good, but I assume when someone says something is the best, that they’ve tried other Greek salads?
The chicken parm: the cutlets were pretty good, but a single layer of thin cutlets on bread with bland sauce and crappy cheese made us both just eat the cutlets plain. They really should have more chicken on there.
Still wanting something that satisfied us, we ordered the Margherita slice, as the friendly kid at the counter had recommended it. It was solid. Far better than anything we had had, but still, nothing spectacular.
I gave up at this point, but my wife wanted SOMETHING that really tasted great and NY-​y, so she tried the garlic knots. Her review: «Don’t bother trying it.»
The staff was all very friendly, however when I heard the owner was from LI, I said hi and that we were from LI and he muttered something and walked away. 2 minutes later he very rudely ordered a staffer to fill all the pepper shakers in such a way that my wife was shocked and said she would have quit. She also told me to report the women’s room was disgusting. Piss-​soaked toilet paper graciously adorned the toilet seat and the garbage was overflowing.
THE BEST!

We decided to try this place because of the great reviews.
For starters, their website is terrible! None of the links under the menu tab work, so we couldn’t browse the menu at all. So we were forced to go in and order instead of ordering over the phone and picking up.
Honestly, we didn’t see what all the hype was about. Not saying the pizza was bad, but it was nothing great to write home about.
We decided to get a bunch of slices so we get to try different varieties. We had the spinach ricotta, veggie, all meat, mushroom and pepperoni and some other that I don’t remember. The spinach ricotta was terrible. The all meat one was okay. I liked the veggie and the pepperoni, but I didn’t think it was anything great.
Also, the prices are rather steep, especially for how mediocre their pizza is.
And no, this isn’t the best pizza in Charlotte, give me a break. Pure Pizza and Da Vinci’s surpass this place in quality, taste and value for your money.

Located in the parking lot by Bi-​Lo. Staff is very welcoming.
Pizza by the slice available with many choices. A few different beers on tap. Two televisions on either side of the restaurant. They weren’t huge so I would necessarily recommend going here to watch a game. However soccer was on the tube while we were there which was nice.

I’m from Brooklyn. Love Due Amici. Haven’t been to a pizza place in NC that comes close. These guys are straight about of Bensonhurst and are about their business. I go in, they take my order, prepare it perfectly, BOOM… DONE. None of that mindless small talk, just good food, good prices, a taste of home. I don’t mind the trip, it is well worth it. I don’t do franchise pizza.
Pizza is true NY style. Thin crust, perfect sauce, just the right amount of cheese. Fold it in half while it is scorching hot and you’re in heaven. They also have the best chicken parm, and meatball heroes. Oh, and honest to God real Italian ices. It’s like I am back on the block again.
If you are looking for better pizza in Charlotte/​Concord. fuhgettaboutit! Due Amici’s is the truth!

Despite the high reviews, I found almost nothing special here. The pizza slices tasted like cardboard. No flavor and dry and hard. I would not waste calories on this in the future.
The garlic knots, however, were actually good. Most garlic knots are little hard bricks of dough. These were soft and yeasty with a real garlic flavor.
Even though it’s super convenient, I will not return. There are better pizza places I’m this area. Try DaVinci’s off of Davis Lake and Harris instead.
