Description: Charlotte’s original pizza success story; Wolfman was the first to do California-style pies in the Queen City and the first to open multiple locations, growing like crazy in the 1990s. These days, Wolfman has scaled back to four locations and focuses on what it does best—making yummy pizzas for dine-in, carry-out or take-and-bake. Wolfman uses all fresh ingredients and puts them together in unique ways. Toppings include everything from the standards, to capers and scallions to broccoli florets and artichoke hearts. Homemade sauces are as unusual as marinated black bean. Strombolis, salads, and pastas are also available, but pizza is the big draw. Lunch and dinner Mon through Sat; dinner Sun.
