House of Pizza

House of Pizza is a Charlotte staple. It’s a small, family run restaurant that has been around for many years; since I can remember. We often get take out, and occassionally will dine in. The food is consistently good, as are the service and prices. This is not a high end artisan pizzeria, but rather, a good ol’ family run pizza joint. We are lucky to live nearby. Being primarily pizza eaters, we haven’t tried all of the menu items, but the famous philly cheese steak sub is awesome. The lasagna is good too. The décor is a bit dated and the rug a bit worn, but this is as it should be in such a long running establishment!

The Italian dishes are just wonderful. I love dipping the garlic bread in all the extra marinara sauce they give you! Go on a weekend and ask for Harry. He will treat you right!

Have been eating there since college in the early 80s. Have always gotten sandwiches till just recently. Pizza is good but I’m more of a sandwich lover. Beef sandwich has always been a big winner! Love this place!

I have been coming here sense I was a child. They have the best cheese steak sub in all of Charlotte. When someone asks me where can I get a good cheese steak without hesitation I tell them House of Pizza. Pizza is very good as well. I just can’t get myself to order anything but the cheese steak. I always have them add a little pizza sause to mine, just a suggestion. You’ll be glad you went there.

I always want this place to be better than what it is. The environment is welcoming and service is pretty good. I do not like the red sauce at all. It tastes like chef boyardee. The pizza is just «ok». I have been several times, but it just doesn’t get better unfortunately.

Hands down this place has the best vegetable lasagna and eggplant parmesan. The prices are cheap and the food is plentiful. When I need a carb hangover this is where I go.

Went for dinner tonight and it was so so. I had a Greek salad. It was good, but nothing special. My daughter had a small cheese pizza. I tried a slice and didn’t finish it because it was bland. Everything about it – crust, sauce, cheese – nothing was special. My husband had a large steak sub. It was HUGE and looked good, but I didn’t try it. Glad we tried the place, but I wouldn’t go back.

I have mostly had good experiences here. The pizza dough is fresh, wings are great, and baklava is delicious! It doesn’t look like much from the outside but it’s definitely a good place to try.

Come for the delicious pizza, and stay for the amazing conversations!
While the look of the old building and interior décor may not seem that impressive, the pizzas that they make are well worth stopping in for. My wife and I each got a small salad and then split the veggie pizza. The pizza sauce was a little sweet but not overly so. They are very generous with the toppings, and the crust (flaky, soft, and yeasty with a nice handle on it) was perfect. The best part of the ambience here is the motley crew of folk who dinner here, from local urbanites to nerdy blue collar types who just want to talk about movies and games with their colleagues while chomping on some fine Italian fare. Be sure to bring a few bucks for juke box and listen to the local chatter in between jams. Also, on the positive note the price is right and staff are friendly.

The best place in Charlotte for a Cheese Steak!!! Yummy!!! I’ve been here plenty of times and never even had a slice of pizza (and I LOVE pizza lol) but I’m too obsessed with the Cheese Steaks to even try!!! Delicious!!!

Consistently good pizzas and sandwiches for the last 30 years. The service is hit or miss.

Literally JUST tried this place after years of living down the street. I was told by many that this place is delicious but I just didn’t believe it. Today, my husband and I decided to give it a go for lunch. DELISH! We got a side order of meatballs as an appetizer and I could have literally ate them as a meal. So good. Sauce is to die for. We both got a sub… he got the turkey and I got the veal. They were very filling and both were tasty. I wish they had other side options as our only choice was chips, but other than that we had no complaints. Our server was friendly and happy, our beer was cold and our food was scrumptious! We will def go back.

I was 100% skeptical of this place. I live right around the corner and have passed it many times. I finally decided to give it a try one night when I was looking for a certain type of pizza, totally greasy and bad for you. Well this place hit the spot of exactly what I was looking for.
I went in to place my order since it was the first time I had ordered from them and honestly the inside did not impress me, in fact it made me a little worried even. With that said I don’t know that I would take the time to go in and eat but I will probably be ordering to go from here a lot in the future.
I ordered a large pizza with pineapple, half with jalapeño and the other half with black olives and it hit the spot. I think next time I will get light on the sauce as I am not a huge fan of sauce but it was exactly what I was looking for. I also ordered the mozzarella sticks which were just frozen and fried, don’t know that I will get those again but the pizza I will for sure!

I’ve been going to this place for many years. They are renowned for their steak subs, and not there Pizza. Their steak subs are superior to anything on the menu. Nowhere in the Charlotte area has cheese steak subs like House Of Pizza.

This is still one of my favorite hidden gem places in Charlotte.
If you’ve never been to House of Pizza, there’s a good chance you’ve driven by this place and never even gave it a second thought. It looks like a total dive.
Here’s my suggestion for ordering: take a friend. Why? So you can order a cheesesteak AND a pizza. Duh. #SharingIsCaring The house dressing they bring to the table for salads is money. You may walk in and think you don’t need a salad. Yes, yes you do. The answer is always yes.
Is it the best food you’ll ever have? No. Is it great for what it is and price? Oh hells yeah. Since I can’t actually live in a house made of pizza, this is the next best thing.

How are people saying this is the best pizza in Charlotte??? This restaurant is vastly overrated. I ordered a Hawaiian pizza, ad it came out with unbrowned chewy mozzarella, tasteless sauce, and forgettable crust. Not to mention the cook didn’t core the pineapple. The only reason I’m giving two stars is because the service wasn’t bad. The pizza however… You might as well go to a cafeteria

House of Pizza has been in Charlotte forever. Its a little hole in the wall type of place, but the food is really good. Their pizza tastes like as if I am in New York. Their pizza is extra cheesy and the cheese just slides off.

We tried this place one night on a whim for a very late dinner, and were pleasantly surprised! This isn’t thin crust gourmet true Italian pizza by any means, but it was delicious! I have no idea what they put in the crust, but I really liked it. Slightly chewy with sweet and savory notes — different and it totally works with the pizza. I ordered the Greek pizza, and it was awesome! I was craving a gyro and pizza, but couldn’t decide between the two… This was the perfect option. Super cheesy, lots of awsome toppings, and the perfect balance of meat with olives, green peppers, and feta. The only thing that I can say is that it was definitely more of a «fork and knife» kind of pizza — not a thin foldable slice lol.
In any event, we will definitely be back whenever we crave good old fashioned cheesy down home pizza!

Great salads
Great steak & cheese
Good pizza
Two things to fix:
–Bathrooms are in miserable unsanitary shape.
–take out that juke box «it’s outdated «customers has to pay to music?
Otherwise you can just have silence or listen to other people’s conversations?

I ordered a large cheese steak, with mushrooms, onions, and peppers.
House of Pizza’s large cheese steak is a LLLLLARGEEEEEE sandwich.
The combo comes with ruffled potato chips.
The large cheese steak is almost $ 10, which is acceptable given the size and quality.
Service is pretty good, but not exceptional. I ordered a Diet Pepsi and my waitress brought me an iced tea. {shrug} I got this corrected without any drama.
They were good about keeping beverages refilled, which is my major pet peeve. They were also good at bussing and cleaning the tables when diner’s left.
The kitchen was generous with the steak and the mozzarella cheese atop the sandwich. They were also ample amounts of peppers, onions, and mushrooms. The bread was nice and crusty on the outside and tender in the middle… really delicious. It was a VERY satisfying sandwich for a cheese steak lover.
They include mayonnaise on their cheese steak, which is definitely not traditional. I didn’t have any problem with that.
Advice:
— Hot cherry peppers hoagie spread,” would add flavor and spice to their cheese steaks. It is available in every grocery store.
— They need to add a little salt and pepper to the steak as it is being cooked.
— I would have appreciated some garlic powder on the tables or sautéed crushed garlic in the cooked meat. It makes the sandwich mo better. ;o)
The men’s bathroom? Gross.
There was also no room in the men’s restroom for anyone with a wheelchair, which bothers me.
