Finale Pizza

Given Finale is the NY pizza offshoot of Inizio and their Neapolitan pies, I figured it would be good and I figured right. However, I didn't expect THIS good. Ran in for a quick couple slices at lunchtime, one cheese, one pepperoni and both were outstanding. Perfectly thin crust with a great chew, tasty tomato sauce and cheese with those lovely cupping pepperonis on that slice. Bottom line, damn good NY pizza.To the restaurant group. Please open a location up in the LKN area :)

We liked Finale!They sell pizza slices from 11-2 every day which is a great way to try different pizzas. Our favorite was the Hornet slice but beware it is spicy! The crust was crunchy not floppy and everything had great flavor. The large Caesar salad was enough for 2 people to share and we loved the crunchy breadcrumb topping. The pasta is homemade and we enjoyed the penne alla vodka sub rigatoni.The interior is really small but we got there around noon on a Saturday and had our pick of seats. We sat down at the table and someone brought us a pitcher of water for self refills and you scan a QR code to place your order. We didn't have a waiter the whole time, and the kitchen staff brought our food to the table. That process was a little different. Check them out!

We saw Finale Pizza on IG and decided to drive up to Charlotte to try it. Upon arrival we realized it was a big space. Two tables a bar area to sit and another area with a bench and 2 tables. There is no drink dispenser. They offer bottled drinks which for me is perfect as we don't have to worry about it being flat. We made it in time to the order lunch which were the slices for us and a side salad we split. My wife ordered a slice of the Parma and a pepperoni. I ordered 2 slices of pepperoni.Her Parma was amazing. Our pepperoni we had to ask for other slices. One of the managers was very apologetic and remade them and explained how sometimes it can get burnt from being sent back through the oven to heat. Totally understandable however we didn't like the burnt bottom.So you'll see our pics of burnt versus the not so burnt.The pizza overall was so good. The cheese melted perfectly. Now knowing how to order we would probably just gluey the whole pie and eat it later. They gave us some chocolate chip cannolis on the house and they were really good as well. We throughly appreciated his hospitality.And we will be back.

The owners of Inizio have created a unique dining experience at Finale Pizza. This place is completely different in all the best ways. Justin and his team are running a flawless operation with a family feel. They work together and it shows in every dish that comes out of Chef Niko's kitchen. The cheese pizza with the cup pepperoni was perfectly cooked and beyond delicious! Our server, Prince, is an asset to this location. He has a personality made for working with the public in the service industry. Prince made sure my friend and I had the best dining experience, he is a beautiful soul. I would return just to be in his presence. Already planning a return visit to try the penne vodka with the chicken cutlet-chef recommended. Bravo Finale Pizza!

Ambiance: 10/10Service: 100/10Food: 10/10Recommended dishes: Started off with the Caesar, Straciatella & Focaccia, meatballs app - you can't go wrong with any of it. Pizza was perfect, thin, delicious and massive. Definitely come hungry coz the portions are huge. The manager/chef was attentive despite the place being busy on a Sunday afternoon. All the staff checked in on us as we sat at the counter. Made us feel like family which nowadays most places want you in & out in a jiffy. We have a NY style pizza place about 5 mins from our house but we'll definitely drive 25 mins away for this wonderful new spot!

Really good pizza at Finale! The slice came out hot and very quickly. The pizza is thin and crispy, well seasoned with the "good" pepperoni and chewy crust. If I lived or worked nearby, I would definitely be a regular. The atmosphere is clean and crips. Easy to get in for a casual quick lunch and I'm sure a great transition for dinner time. The mozzarella sticks are good, can't say I would get them again. The marinara sauce is really good and actually much hotter than the mozzarella sticks themselves. Going in for lunch you can order at the counter when you walk in or use the QR code at your table. I'll be happy to go back and try some of the pastas when I'm in the area again.

Awesome pizza! Ordering was a little cumbersome, leveraging QR code and toast app. Pizza came out quick and was prepared perfectly. Staff was friendly and helped with any questions. Will definitely be back for more!

The BEST pizza in this area! We just relocated from NY and miss our pizza! We have tried MANY MANY places but none come close.... But this place is it! Delicious... authentic NY pizza ..... can't wait to go back again..... and again! **** 4 star for sure maybe 5

Pizza was really good and the wings were excellent as well. Need to go back and try the pasta

Amazing pizza, baked ziti and meatball with sauce. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite.
