📸: Sal’s Pizza Factory

Sal’s Pizza Factory

NJ-style pizza comes to NC via Sal’s Pizza Factory! Similar to New York-style pizza but known for having a crispier crust, NJ-style pizza is quickly becoming a favorite in Charlotte and nationwide. 

Pizzerias run in the family for Sal’s owner Fabio Durrazo and his family. Originally from Napoli, Italy, Durrazo’s father came to the States in 1970 and worked to open his own pizza place. Durrazo carries this legacy on at both of Charlotte’s Sal’s locations. From pizza to pasta, cheesesteaks and more, Sal’s is where it’s at.

Geno D’s

Geno D’s is a father-daughter venture set in 7th Street Station. The original Geno D’s was located in Tom’s River, NJ for about 35 years, then reopened in Charlotte when Geno’s daughter Gena was 25 – the same age as Geno was when he opened the original!
