luisa's brick oven

not impressed.. me and my fiance checked it out last weekend, largely because of the good reviews. we had one of the specialty pizzas (1/2 bianca, 1/2 some pesto pizza). way too greasy (even the bianca side), and the crust integrity was just not there. i like a thin crust, but it has to have some bite - not disintegrate into the cheese. perhaps the crust would hold up better with just a few toppings. if you get a salad, ask for the dressing on the side. mine was drenched and i had to waste half of it because i couldn't eat it. the service was friendly enough and there were quite a few families there so it would probably be a good spot if you like that kind of environment. but if you are looking to expend your calories on cheesy goodness there are many other betterpiespots around clt more worth it.

luisa's pizza is probably the best place in clt to go eat pie, period. there is a good place called hectors, but it is an ass-whipping to get to, way the h out towards the plaza or something. anyway, luisa's makes theirpiein a big-ass wood burning oven (yes, i have worked that oven!) and theirpieis thin crust and awesome. please remember that this is not a choke and puke pizza hut or papa johns or something, so keep your ingredients to a minimum as a thin crust done in a brick oven cannot hold may items, so if you had yer heart set on the pizza hut pan supreme 25 items 'za, well, go get yer stomach pump and order one, ok? but don't do so at luisa's. get 1-3 items and stop it, ok? just wait on it to pop out and now it is time to grosh! the luisa's special is awesome too! what is on it? well, take yer booty on down there and order one and see for yerself! if you know what goodpieis, you will be down with this place. also - ask for the waitress with the blond hair - my daughter sez she id the best waitress in the world, and she is!

who doesn't like luisa's?. if you don't like it i suggest you go home and pop another box of frozen hot pocket in the oven, you pizza philistine! this is the place for pizza in charlotte. if they are closed, go to fuel pizza, ok? up on east @ south blvd...anyway - their lunch deal is the booyah best, so hit it. get the plain pizza, the luisa special or just something simple. don't jack it up with 10 ingredients or anything. i used to work here (the oven, baby!) and the old lady luisa is a piece of work - kinda crazy and crabby, but who cares, she has 'za down cold! the iced tea is as good as bojangles tea if you can believe that! get the waitress with the blond hair pulled back into a pony tail - she is pure greatness, or the greatest waitress in the world as my daughter sez...luisa's - what pizza should be everywhere else!
