Over the past year we've been following up on advice from others but we've been disappointed with all of the pizza places we've sampled. We live in Indian Trail and there's no end to the number of restaurants throughout the Charlotte area claiming to serve NY pizza. But none of them was particularly good.... they all seem to lack something. In every case the pizza crust is tasteless and the pizza sauce tastes like it's mass-produced and fresh out of the can. A little over a week ago we found the real McCoy. If you are looking for great pizza and other great Italian dishes try Mamas Pizza in Mint Hill.

I did not know how I was going to survive when I left NY without my pizza and it was a struggle until I found that "Cosco"'s pizza was so close to Ny's that I thought I was in heaven and I sneak in there every once in a while. If you don't have a card you just tell them you are going to the pharmacy and they flag you in. Sometime I do go to the pharmacy and that justifies my visit for the time being.I am assuming all Cosco's are the same. I am in VA but moving to CLT soon and hope so Good Luck

I found a really good (actually its excellent) chinese take out named Dragon Garden located at 13803 Highway 74 East, Indian Trail, NC 28079. IMO the food is exceptional. No matter how many times we've ordered from this place or introduced others to this place there's never been a disappointment. Give it a try. It's not much of a sit down restaurant unless you are on the go and not trying to impress someone but it is great carry out.

I previously lived in Virginia as well. I also lived for a time in Pennsylvania, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Maryland, and Iceland. I can't even count the number of places throughout the U.S. and overseas that I've worked in for weeks at a time or visited for days at a time. The one comfort food that I always have a desire for is good Pizza (preferably NY Style done to my taste). All I'm saying in this email is that Mama's fits that bill and I threw the information out there for anyone who's interested to try it out. IMO it's good pizza especially the Grandma's Pizza. I think you will find that Charlotte is a great city with great people and good food and you should have little difficulty adjusting to this well rounded and friendly city. Personally, I can't think of anything you will want that you won't be able to find here.

Thanks for the info. I will remember that for when we move to Charlotte in a few months. I am from Long Island as well. How are things going for both of you?

Running the risk of "no personal attacks" I am sooooooooooo glad you no longer can call yourself a New Yorker. You and the other one ....that BTW can't even spell the name of the store correctly. It's


C O S T C O wholesale.

Any leftover pizza you have you can use to PASTE pictures in your scrapbook of your move to CLT. Oy Vey, this is getting to me.

My new favorite pizza place is Due Amici near Highland Creek. I'm not from NY, but it reminds me most of NY type pizza. Some of you Northeasterners might like it...
