Hey, foodie party people! Thanks for coming on Creative Loafing's Eat My Charlotte Foodie Tour this past Saturday, June 26.
We stopped at four delicious restaurants and sampled seven different flavors/styles of pizza.
Giacomo's, Due Amici, Villa Francesca, and Wolfman Pizza served up their best pizzas which included: pepperoni, fresh mozzarella and tomato, stuffed chicken Parmesan pizza, grandmother's pizza, the Mojo pizza, and two dessert pizzas banana split and smores.
Everyone was so stuffed we had to practically roll the pizza tour folks off the bus at the end.

Announcing the next Eat My Charlotte Foodie Tour
The things I do for the sake of research. And our readers. Really.
Here are a few pics from a "secret location" where I sampled chicken wings. They were so finger-licking good, I now have orange stained nails ... and I feel so full I want to put on a pair of overalls. Not a good feeling.
You want some of these? Join our Eat My Charlotte Foodie Tour featuring chicken wings on March 6. Yes, it happens to fall on the same day as the UNC vs. Duke basketball game.* The tour can serve as your pre-game party since we'll be serving wings and free beer on the tour bus. Perfect.
*Only UNC fans on the foodie tour, please! (Just kidding ... but not really.)
