We're proud to be an award-winning establishment, having received the Top 50 Pizza for 2024 in US.

Pizza Baby East is the full-service Roman Café and Wine Bar, offering a selection of locally sourced mozzarella, antipasto, a rotating special, and our signature 12" Americana-style pizza inspired by the Eternal City. Everything is baked in-house, meticulously sourced, and clean label!

Located in the Elizabeth neighborhood, we serve pizza by the slice in a rectangular hand-held fashion, using our signature housemade focaccia. If you haven't been to Rome, our pizzas are reminiscent of street-style pizza al taglio.

    The Americana style pizza has a fantastic crispy thin crest. We also tried the bacon wrapped dates, and they were soooo delicious! The staff were all great and super friendly. We will definitely go back.

    This was our second visit to Pizza Baby East and it was not the same as the first! I was so disappointed, the Roman pizza was not as spectacular as our initial visit.

    Once again we had the best experience at Pizza Baby East. It has easily become my favorite spot in Charlotte. The food, the vibe, the service are all excellent. It is the perfect neighborhood spot and highly recommend a visit (or two).

    This was our first visit to Pizza Baby. We had the Sicilian pie. It was delicious. Plus, we enjoyed the focaccia. We look forward to returning to this restaurant often.

    Delicious foccacia pizzas! The pesto in particular! We had two issues with this place. 1- the ONE and only server (WAH) is extremely inefficient! She does a whole lotta nothing! We watched her as most tables had to get up to get get attention for something they needed, because she takes your order and then you’ll never see her again! The guy there I guess only buses tables, and lets her know what customers want because she takes so long to reach them. 2- EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE!! No reason two people for lunch should spend over 65$ it’s INSANITY!! We might come back for just focaccia pizza and water! That’s it!

    Having been to the FlourShop and Pizza Baby West multiple times, it was time to try Pizza Baby East. Dined there for lunch today - food, service and atmosphere were exceptional! Although Pizza Baby East is better known for its Roman style pizzas (on focaccia bread), we chose to get the traditional round style pizza (served at Pizza Baby West). Shared the Pesto Pie and the Little Gem Caesar salad (very plentiful with some leftovers to take home). Salad was perfect - large portion (enough to share), perfect amount of dressing (not too much or over powering) and wonderful flavor. Pizza was exceptional too! What made the afternoon even more special is the opportunity to see Steven De Falco (one of the co-owners with Trey Wilson) - Steven stopped by our table to welcome us (great hospitality!) and remembered us from the FlourShop and Pizza Baby West (that is one of Steven's exceptional traits!). Totally different atmosphere from Pizza Baby West. Pizza Baby East is much smaller and has a great "neighborhood" feel to it. Although we sat inside, there is wonderful outdoor dining room in the front along Elizabeth which will be great in nice weather. Definitely will be added as a frequent "go to" on our list!

    Food was fantastic! Was a little disappointed they no longer carry two wines we liked from a previous visit. It’s cozy and loud but food makes up for it.
