Charlotte Pizzeria Makes 2024 List of Best Pizzerias in the U.S.

As someone who enjoys a good pizza (at any time of the day), I am one who gets excited for lists such as this. It's the 2024 list of the 50 best pizzerias in the U.S. That's right, the best of the best. Most times we would probably think places in New York, Chicago, and even L.A. are the only ones on this list. Well, guess again. One Charlotte pizzeria has made the list as one of the best pizza spots in the U.S. But which one?

Pizza Baby in Charlotte, North Carolina made the top 50 list coming at #43. Pizza Baby is a locally-owned pizzeria here in Charlotte. With two different locations in the area, you have double the opportunity to be able to visit and give them a try. After looking into their menu and their story, it is pretty clear why they made the top 50 pizzerias in the U.S.

Pizza Baby's co-owners took their love and passion for pizza seriously when they opened up their first location. Their focus was to perfect the best pie to serve up to their customers. After taking a few classes with Pizzaiolos in Long Island, they landed on a thin, foldable crust topped with fresh, local ingredients. The menu offers you a wide range of things to try from salads and veggies, sandwiches, breads, and of course... PIZZA!

Some of the pizza option highlights at Pizza Baby include the following:

If there is one thing that I can eat every single day, it's pizza. Pizza is so good any and every day no matter what time of the day it is. I can enjoy a slice for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even for a late-night snack. I know, not everyone may enjoy a good slice of pizza but I cannot relate to that life. My friends know that me and pizza go together really bad! Even the basic cheese slice can really brighten my day up. But, one thing about me is I enjoy finding new places to try out. When I am in a new city or new state, I am always looking for great foods to try out.
