Sorry, Charlie Bar Pies
CLASSIC SICILIAN WITH A TWIST
Their dough honors traditional Sicilian pizza while adding a modern touch. It is lighter, thinner, and has perfectly crisp edges, creating a balanced base perfect for bar pies. Made fresh in-house, each crust stays true to tradition while breaking some rules—round instead of square, offering a satisfying crunch in every bite.
SIMPLE, BOLD, & HOUSE-MADE SAUCE
Their signature sauce is crafted with care, using imported Sicilian oregano ground fresh by hand and layered with shaved garlic for a subtle, aromatic flavor. It’s balanced and vibrant, complementing their crust perfectly; it keeps each slice fresh while enhancing the flavor.
CLASSIC MEETS CREATIVE
From timeless toppings to bold, inventive combinations, each ingredient is carefully chosen to complement their unique crust and sauce. Whether craving a classic pepperoni or something more unexpected, their selection aims to surprise and satisfy, one slice at a time.
