New York Style Pizza in Charlotte

I've been very lax in updating the Charlotte section of this blog as well as www.newyorkpizzafinder.com.  Turns out my favorite New York Style Pizza Place, Nurchi's, shut down last year and that was a big disappointment.  Nonetheless, there are a lot of ex-New Yorkers in Charlotte, and a number of good New York Style Pizza Places in the Charlotte area.  Carlo's is my favorite.  Here are some comments from my relatives who live in Charlotte or visit often:

Real New York Pizza from Domino's?

I try not to prejudiced, I want to give everybody a chance, but my experience with national chains trying to produce good New York Style pizza is not too great.  Pizza Hut had the "Big New Yorker" a couple years back, but that was just a Pizza Hut pizza, a little bigger, with big slices.  A step in the right direction, but very little in the way in authenticity.

 So yesterday the New York Times ran an article about Domino's Brookly Style Pizza.  Included in the article was a link to Slice, www.sliceny.
