Pizza Up

the owners were very nice. the pizza crust was nice and a bit crispy which is the way i like it. i had the pepperoni, cheese, chicken, and veggie pizza all good and do able… yes its buffet but this is no cici’s quality thank goodness. i have been craving a buffet pizza joint here in uptown and found this gem. they also have cherrywine on tap! i will def be back.

If you like NY style pizza, this place is awesome. You really have to know it’s there though. There’s usually a small sidewalk sign in front of the building — it’s the same building on Tryon that has the Bojangles. Go inside and it opens up into a larger space with more shops.
It’s all about the pizza for me. I’ve been craving old school NY style pizza for a long time. My first bite and that empty hole inside me was satisfied. I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

Pizza Up is a great lunch option that I don’t think is getting the patronage it deserves. Among all of the chains and restaurant options for lunch uptown, this place stands out — it’s a no-​frill, well-​priced pizza shop.
I’ve been here 3 times, and every time I’ve felt it was money well-​spent. Here’s the breakdown:
For $ 7.99, you get an all-​you-​can-​eat buffet with a drink. The buffet includes
Pizza — NY style, pretty darn good. Options seemed to vary from cheese to meat-​lovers to mushroom, peppers and onions. Ohn and they did a buffalo chicken pizza that was delicious, too. My only complaint is that they could use heat lamps to keep pizza hot and the cheese melty.
Pasta — Nothing special. Penne with tomato sauce. And meatballs or sausage on the side (prefer meatballs definitely)
Salad — Actually, a pretty decent salad bar. No complaints here
MMMmmm we need more of these kind of lunch places uptown. Otherwise, working here just seems stuffy
