🟢 HIDDEN GEM: Have you been to Finale Pizza?! Inizio owner Grant Arons creates hit with Finale “exceeding capacity” in a random Ballantyne strip mall. Foodie friends swear by it, so I took my fam on a $156 Tiny Money taste test investigation!!
Origin story: “As a pizza connoisseur, I recognized our city needed a contrasting style to Inizio’s softer, elastic, and fragrant crust,” owner Grant Arons told me. “Finale brings a firmer texture.”
Must try: $14 Cheese Bread. It’s a pillowy focaccia with a crispy cheese edge and a melty top. “Think of the best Detroit-style pizza you’ve ever tried.”
Investment: “No private equity or investors, so we have no problem growing two brands in the same city. Gives our team more opportunities.”
TL;DR: Don’t sleep on Finale, delicious pizza🍕!!

Don't make it out to Ballantyne much but it's looking like this alone is worth a trip 😄

Calling this nearly two year old pizzeria that routinely makes the list of Charlotte’s best pizzerias a “hidden gem” is quite humorous.

I want to try the pizza, but I can’t get past the bolognese. It is spectacular.
