Pizza Restaurants in North Carolina

When Guy Fieri brought his red Camaro rolling through North Carolina between 2015 and 2018, he uncovered a trio of pizza joints that proved the Tar Heel State knows its way around a pie. With an impressive average rating of 4.6 stars across all three featured spots, these restaurants have earned their place in Triple D history—and not a single one has closed its doors since filming.

Charlotte emerged as the pizza capital of Guy’s North Carolina adventures, claiming two of the three featured establishments. Leading the pack is Fud at Salud, a 4.8-star gem that wowed the Mayor of Flavortown with its creative approach to pizza. Down in coastal Wilmington, Copper Penny holds strong at 4.6 stars, while Charlotte’s Intermezzo Pizzeria and Cafe rounds out the list with a solid 4.5-star rating.

Whether you’re craving innovative toppings or classic preparations, these Guy-approved pizzerias deliver the kind of bold, flavorful experiences that earned them a spot on television’s most popular food road trip. Time to take your taste buds on a North Carolina pizza tour.
