    Small pizza place inside the CLT airport.  Really good BBQ chicken pizza; thin crust style.  The BBQ drizzle sauce had a nice flavor.  A bit high in price at $14 for about a 12" pizza, but hey it's in an airport so what do you expect.  Limited menu of a few pizzas and salads.  They have some pizzas ready so you may get one quickly in case your flight departs soon.  Small seating area with view of planes outside.  Pizza is big enough for two, but I had no issue finishing it myself.  Probably about as good as you're gonna get in an airport.

    WORST SERVICE-RUDEST STAFF. Spent $28 on two Caesar salads because at 2pm they seemed to be out of everything else with no apology or explanation as to why. Their low stars should've deterred me already but I didn't check beforehand. DO NOT go here.

    When you need to grab a quick breakfast in the airport your options are limited and it is apparent they know that and don't really care. We are just captive customers passing through, so they are not worried about repeat business. The breakfast burrito was dry and hard.  When I asked for some salsa, the response was, "it's already in the burrito". Service was slow and below average. The quality of the food was below average. It might be better during lunch when they are serving their core menu items.

    There are better options in the CLT airport but this is at least pizza if you're not looking for the S'Barro slices.

    Prices are high but aligned with what most people would expect in an airport. The choices are limited, because they can't really have much for knives here. Staff are just punching clocks.

    I had a barbecue chicken pizza and it was reasonably well-topped even if the crust was a little less flaky and a lot more boring.

    If you like California Pizza Kitchen outside of airports, you'll be disappointed. If you like pizza in general, you'll be disappointed. But if you're just looking for an airport bite while you're connecting at CLT, you'll be okay.

    Pretty good pizza actually. So that was a pleasant surprise.  Pizzas are served "personal size" which I believe is 8 inch.  I ordered the Pepperoni, mushroom and sausage.  The pizza came out piping hot.  Delicious pizza actually with a thin crispy (not burnt) crust just as I prefer it.  The menu is a bit limited so if you're looking for more choices, you're probably better off eating at the food court.  There's also a few beers on the menu if you need an adult beverage to wash down your food.  Service was quick as well.  Not bad.  Not bad at all.
