Aliño Pizzeria
Kelly R: We have family near Charlotte and a trip to Aliño is an absolute must every time we're in the area. They've got amazing wood-fired pizzas with fun flavor combinations, fast service (sometimes almost shockingly so) and casual family-style seating, both indoors and out. Such a kid-friendly restaurant with food that makes everyone happy! Make sure to hit up the assortment of add-ons that you can grab from the kitchen area: marinara, spicy oil, parmesan and more!
