Bird Pizzeria

About

Bird Pizzeria started as a tiny takeout window in Optimist Park and grew into the most talked about pizzeria in Charlotte. The New York Times named it among the best pizza in the country. It specializes in East Coast style pies with a thin, crisp, slightly chewy crust, and it has kept the neighborhood feel that made the original window a destination.
