North Carolina Pizzeria Makes Southern Living’s List of Best New Restaurants

Author Catherine Lane

A pizza place in a Charlotte neighborhood is among four eateries in both North and South Carolina to make a very prestigious list.  This popular North Carolina pizzeria makes Southern Living’s list of best new restaurants.

I am always up for a new place to find delicious pizza.  Who isn’t? Bird Pizzeria is located at 510 East 15th Street in the Optimist Park neighborhood.  It has only been open since December 2021 but people are already loving it and making it their favorite place for pizza pie.  It comes in at number 13 on the list of 25 best restaurants according to Southern Living.

If you try Bird Pizzzeria’s award-winning food you might want to start with their Kale Caesar salad.  But of course, what they are quickly becoming so known and loved for is their New York Style pizza.  If you like a lot of cheese, fresh ingredients, and thin crusts then you will love what they have to offer.

Pizza as we know it now was first made in Naples, Italy sometime in the 18th century according to Wikipedia. Just about as soon as that flatbread came out of the oven, it has been popular. Lucky for us we have a popular pizzeria here in North Carolina that makes Southern Living’s list of best restaurants.
