This place has top notch NY style pizza even the crust flops just right. We had the Philly Cheese steak pizza, steak, cream sauce, bacon, onions topped with chipotle aioli. It was phenomenal and I am a harsh pizza critic.

We had high hopes given the reviews, but was very disappointed. We live less than 5 minutes from them and arrived right as the tracking said the order was ready. I walked in the door and immediately plated a slice for both of us and scooped out baked ziti for each of us. The order was a 9 Cheese Pizza and Baked Ziti.

Everyone raved about the food on both occasions, the staff are very friendly and wonderful to work with. With both experiences my orders were accurate, the delivery was on time and the food was incredible! Been a while since I went there due to moving away. Back in town and thought it would be great to take some back to hotel for dinner. I ordered literally one dish and they messed it up.(insult to injury was bread burnt to hockey puck status) Clearly theres no one expediting to send out orders.

Take-Out/Delivery Options

Stop by any day of the week to pick up a pie, eat inside, or dine on the outdoor patio. A staple in Charlotte for over 30 years, the original menu had 10 pizzas, 10 pastas, and not much else. Today, still known for its Italian fare, the New England-style pizza here is one of a kind. With its thin, crisp, bubbly crust cooked in a real wood-burning oven, “Joe’s Favorite” pizza is a perennial favorite with housemade pork sausage, pepperoni, and hand-pulled mozzarella.

All sharing options for:

We're seated and ordered right away. He wanted the buffalo chicken pizza. Upon reflection...should have gotten pepperoni and mushrooms. Lots of people working, but had to ask for the bill(not a lot of checking back). Two drinks and an 18 inch pizza and tip...$43.

Will definitely come back when I am in town. Consistently lauded as the best pizza in the state of North Carolina, Inizio is dedicated to the art and craft of true Neapolitan-style pizza. 90 seconds and 900 degrees later, the naturally risen dough transforms into a leopard-skinned pizza crust of dreams. Starting with San Marzano tomatoes and real buffalo milk mozzarella and ending with gelato or cannoli, this modern, casual spot consistently hits on all cylinders for pizza and for flavor. Somehow their soda is just extra great. Thursday or Wednesday nights there is sometimes a balloon artist there which is fun.

It’s about sliding into a table that feels like home, and being served by people who feel like family. At Hawthorne’s, we are more than family-friendly, we are a family. And when you dine with us, you become part of that family too. This is now out go-to pizza place in South Charlotte.

The Crust Pizza

Stripes of red sauce, pesto, and cheese are ribboned onto each pie, giving a perpetual nod to the mother country, Italy. Don’t miss the sweet heat of the hot honey pizza, packed with peppadews, pepperoni, and a hot honey drizzle. Being described as being a hole-in-the-wall leads to less than favorable connotations, but when that hole ends up on Forbes best new restaurant list, people tend to listen.

Personalize your own pie with a handful of traditional toppings or ramp up the flavor with anchovies, artichoke hearts, or prosciutto. Every pizzeria claims to have a secret sauce or a secret recipe, but Luisa’s secret-not-so-secret ingredient is its brick oven brought over from Milan in the late 1980s. The restaurant boasts that the oven has cooked over a million pizzas. The lunchtime pizza buffet is a must-do as is ordering appetizers of meatballs and calamari. The signature pizza is the Luisa pizza with sliced tomatoes, pesto, ricotta cheese, and garlic. Other house specialties include the muffuletta (with ham, Genoa salami, provolone, and a muffuletta pesto of chopped green olives and pepperoncini).

The tea was amazing and the food followed suite. We stopped in on Christmas Eve while in town visiting family and they were open. Wasn't many in there but I'm sure on any other holiday they are packed. We got a large Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza and it was delicious.

Loved the food, great service, and the patio was nice. We had a party of 8, which included 4 kids, plus a puppy, and they accommodated us all well. Good options for young kids; everyone was happy with their meal. Highlights were the Hawthorne's salad, "Inducer" pizza (Buffalo chicken), chicken pesto pasta, and Godfather sandwich. I highly recommend this location; also the Hawthorne/7th Street location and Monroe Road locations, too. Pizza joints in Charlotte are like churches — there’s one on nearly every corner.

Husband and wife duo, Kerrel and Nkem Thompson opened Bird in 2021 with not much more than a pickup window, a hanging sign, and a pizza oven. Order online and choose a pick-up time or take a chance and walk up to the window at this popular Optimist Park neighborhood spot. While this Black-owned pizza shop is cashless, the pizza is timeless. The East Coast-style pizza has vegan options and a simple menu with topping options such as pepperoni, Calabrian peppers, and hot honey. Simple add-ons like kale salad and bottled Mexican Coke make this literal hole-in-the-wall a Queen City destination. The positively petite Pure Pizza (say that five times fast) embraces true seasonality, with farmhouse-style pizza, local farm-to-table ingredients, and seasonal offerings.

I love the Italian stromboli and my family always eats the cheese pizza. Right now we are big fans on our menu faves, but eventually we plan to try some other items like the wings or salads. I only wish there was a medium sized pizza.

They used to be really good with consistent quality. I have had a pleasant experience each time I have been there. The wings were AMAZING and the tea was delicious. Tea tends to be my standard for how well the food is going to be.

The pizza was not at all crispy, did seem soggy and the baked ziti tasted like salt. Neither of us could taste the sauce or the cheese or really even the ziti, just salt. Wont be going back, which is sad since its the closest pizza place. I've used Hawthorne's catering service twice now for work events and have had the best experience!

It’s not hard to find great versions of regional pies in the Queen City but singling out next-level pizza offerings from the pack is the hard part. There are family-owned operations with appeal for all ages as well as spots with unique toppings, carefully crafted crusts, and allergen-sensitive menus all ripe for the picking. From upscale digs to neighborhood dives, Charlotte’s got it all.

Mecklenburg County was formed by English colonists in 1762 from the western part of Anson County, both in the Piedmont section of the state. It was named in commemoration of the marriage of King George III to Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz,[5] for whom the county seat Charlotte is named. Due to unsure boundaries, a large part of south and western Mecklenburg County extended into areas that would later form part of the state of South Carolina. In 1768, most of this area (the part of Mecklenburg County west of the Catawba River) was designated Tryon County, North Carolina. Like its seat, the county is named after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen of the United Kingdom (1761–1818), whose name is derived from the region of Mecklenburg in Germany. It was named for Mecklenburg Castle (Mecklenburg meaning "large castle" in Low German) in the village of Dorf Mecklenburg.

Mortgage preapproval is the process of determining how much money you can borrow to buy a home. During the mortgage preapproval process, lenders like Rocket Mortgage® look at your income, assets and credit score.

If you’re looking seriously at homes and ready to start making offers, it’s time to get preapproved. The preapproval process will verify you can afford the home, and your preapproval letter shows the seller and seller’s agent you’re qualified to make an offer.

It adds another verification of your identity and helps match your Social Security number with your picture ID to further confirm it’s you who’s getting the loan. You’ll also need to supply your Social Security number to run a credit check. The mortgage lender will want to make sure they’re lending to the right person – and not someone pretending to be you – so a valid form of identification will be required. Acceptable forms of ID include a state-issued driver’s license or ID card, passport or U.S. alien registration card.

Prequalification typically won’t hurt your credit as most lenders only perform a soft inquiry or ask for your credit score range to provide a loan estimate. However, it’s still a good idea to verify with the lender beforehand if its prequalification process will affect your credit score. Many lenders will provide an initial rate quote within a matter of minutes, but you may need to speak with a loan officer first. After getting prequalified, you’ll receive a prequalification letter that can make it easier to work with sellers and real estate agents when you submit an offer.

The impact will be minimal, and credit scoring models generally count multiple hard inquiries in a short amount of time to shop rates as a single inquiry. While not a required next step, many buyers choose to pursue preapproval after prequalification. Mortgage preapproval is a more detailed underwriting process where the lender verifies your financial information and credit history to provide a more concrete loan offer. A preapproval is a stronger indication of mortgage approval, which builds your credibility as a serious buyer. Some sellers and agents won’t accept offers from buyers who are not preapproved because not having lender approval in hand can slow down your mortgage loan application.

Final walk-through and closing

If you need to move quickly, be sure to have all your financial documentation on hand when you apply for preapproval. The quicker you can provide supporting documents to your lender, the faster your preapproval will move (and the sooner you can make an offer). The mortgage prequalification process is relatively simple and quick. Online pre-qualification forms will ask questions related to your income, the amount of your down payment, and your existing debts. Depending on where you live, the housing market may be extremely competitive.

It’s time to understand exactly what each of those terms means and how they might help you. And when you’re working toward a goal this big, you want every advantage. Depending on the mortgage lender you work with and whether you qualify, you could get a preapproval in as little as one business day, but it usually takes a few days or even a week to receive.

An offer involves submitting a written proposal that includes the purchase price, any contingencies or conditions, and a proposed closing date. The seller can accept your offer, reject it, or make a counteroffer. Negotiating the terms of the sale can take several rounds of back-and-forth communication between you and the seller, so it’s important to be patient and flexible throughout the process. Zillow Home Loans offers a convenient online mortgage experience, including a speedy pre-qualification process with only a soft credit inquiry that won’t hurt your credit score.

You’ll receive a preapproval letter to supply to sellers, demonstrating that a lender has verified your financial information and that you can afford a mortgage. Prequalification generally means that a mortgage lender collects basic financial information from you to estimate how much house you can afford. Getting confirmation from a lender that you prequalify for a home loan provides a general idea of how much you’ll be approved for when it comes time to close. Prequalification makes it easier to set a home buying budget and helps you narrow down how much you should spend on a home. Bank statements are required for obtaining preapproval because they help verify your income and show that you can afford your down payment. These statements may also uncover any red flags, like bounced checks, insufficient funds, unstable income, payments to other bank accounts and large deposits from unknown sources.

Certified House Plans (CHP) are designs pre-approved by the City of Portland for building code compliance to construct homes and ADUs that are identical in design, and construction materials. Certified House Plans offer more predictability and some cost savings in the permit review process. Even if you are in a seller’s market, there are a few different ways to try to avoid a bidding war. One way you can show the buyer you are serious is by having less contingencies in your contract. Some other methods include making a cash offer, getting prequalified for a home loan before you make an offer, and looking for properties outside of hotspots.

Overall, buying real estate in California can be a wise long-term investment if you can afford it and the location and property align with your personal and financial goals.

However, Charlotte, being a barn spider with a naturally short lifespan, is already dying of natural causes by the time the award is announced. Knowing that she has saved Wilbur, and satisfied with the outcome of her life, she does not return to the barn with Wilbur and Templeton and instead remains at the fairgrounds to die. However, she allows Wilbur to take with him her egg sac, from which her children will hatch in the spring. Meanwhile, Fern, who has matured significantly since the beginning of the novel, loses interest in Wilbur and starts paying more attention to boys her age.

Some weeks later I was surprised and pleased to find that Charlotte’s daughters were emerging from the air holes in the cover of the box. They strung tiny lines from my comb to my brush, from my brush to my mirror, and from my mirror to my nail scissors. They were very busy and almost invisible, they were so small.

When the novel begins, a young eight-year-old girl named Fern saves a runt pig on her parents’ farm. She stops her parents from killing the small creature, chastising them for wanting to kill an animal just because it’s smaller and weaker than its siblings. She names the pig Wilbur and takes care of him until he is too big. He’s sold to the Zuckerman’s who owns a nearby farm. They buy him for six dollars, and Fern visits him as often as she can. Emma Baldwin, a graduate of East Carolina University, has a deep-rooted passion for literature.

She misses most of the fair's events in order to go on the Ferris wheel with Henry Fussy, one of her classmates. The story is full of powerful themes, timeless symbols, and important moments that make it so special. Charlotte’s Web is a beloved classic written by E.B.

It teaches valuable lessons about love and acceptance, as well as the importance of helping those in need and standing up for what is right. Although it received less than ideal praise when it was first released, today, it is regarded as one of the best children’s novels ever written. It utilizes personified farm animals, including a rat, a spider, and Wilbur, the pig. They all work together in an effort to save Wilbur from his upcoming Christmas fate. White is a charming and timeless classic that is suitable for young readers. While the story does contain some sad moments, it is ultimately about the power of friendship, loyalty, and perseverance.

That in itself was nothing new, but this web, with its elaborate loops and whorls that glistened with early morning dew, caught his attention. Weeks passed until one cold October evening when he noticed that the spider was spinning what turned out to be an egg sac. He put the sac in an empty candy box, punched some holes in it, and absent-mindedly put the box atop his bedroom bureau in New York. These are the words in Charlotte's Web, high up in Zuckerman's barn. Charlotte's spiderweb tells of her feelings for a little pig named Wilbur, who simply wants a friend.

Although a story of life and death, it is also full of warmth, with silly characters such as the geese and the snobby sheep. In addition, Charlotte’s Web contains a wealth of detail about spiders and other animals, which White drew from his own life on a farm. Wilbur was allegedly inspired by an ailing pig that White tried unsuccessfully to nurse back to health. The incident served as the basis for the essay “Death of a Pig,” which was published in 1948, four years before the release of Charlotte’s Web.

It’s the perfect book for anyone who loves animals or who is hoping to share with their children important life lessons. White is a beloved children's classic about the unlikely friendship between a pig named Wilbur and an intelligent spider named Charlotte. Readers of all ages have cherished the timeless story since its publication in 1952. At the end of the novel, Wilbur learns that Charlotte has produced an egg sack and that her life is coming to an end.

White also created classics of children's literature. Stuart Little related the delightful adventures of a mouse living with his human family in New York City. For Norton D. Kinghorn, Charlotte's web also acts as a signifier of change. The change Kinghorn refers to is that of both the human world and the farm/barn world. For both of these worlds, change is something that cannot be avoided.[4] Along with the changing of the seasons throughout the novel, the characters also go through their own changes.

Ideally, place it outside at least 20 feet from any doors or windows into your home. The order of the prongs does not matter, as long as they’re all connected.

An automatic transfer switch can also be used with an interlock kit. A mechanical interlock installs in the electrical panel and connects the generator to the electrical panel. This device has mechanical bars that prevent the main breakers and generator breakers from being in the “On” or live position at the same time.

It is relatively safe to forego a transfer switch for your generator, but it is not recommended, for the most part. However, there is a great risk of electrocution than with using a transfer switch. Also, there is a higher chance for electrical feedback when using extension wires without a transfer switch. Let’s get into the step by step process of connecting a portable generator to a house without a transfer switch.

Cost

Keep in mind that some appliances, like air conditioners, require a lot of power to start up. So you may need to start with a smaller generator and then upgrade to a larger one as your needs change. If you're using a mid-sized generator and comfortable plugging in appliances during a storm but still want to use cords, your best bet is to invest in a Gen-Cord.

There is a correct sequence to power a load through an extension cord. Then go inside and plug the loads into the extension cord. Unplug the loads from the generator, then go outside and unplug the cords, and turn the generator off.

While Portable generators are fuel efficient, you’ll need to refuel them occasionally for longer outages. Portable generators are generally petrol powered, so you’ll want to have a supply of fuel on hand if an outage is anticipated, like a storm. Portable generators are significantly less expensive than a home standby generator.

To connect a portable generator to a house without a transfer switch, make sure that your portable generator has a round plug. Gather an interlock kit that is compatible with your generator, 3 sets of wires, and a drill. Drill a hole into a wall leading inside that is far away from the generator so that you can pass wires through it. Transfer switches and generator interlock kits are essential to the responsible operation of your portable generator.

If you can set up a power inlet box, drill a hole to run wires through, and put together a conduit, you can hook up a generator without a transfer switch. They cost less than home standby generators, making them a budget-friendly option for emergency power. Plus, setting up is simple—you just plug into an appliance or connect to your home circuit with a transfer switch. Yes, for safety and to meet electrical codes, hire a skilled electrician. This safety device stops electricity from flowing back into power lines. Finally, turn on the generator and flip the universal transfer switch on the inlet box to the “on” position.

With a portable generator, it's advisable to be selective with which parts of the house you power-up. This is to avoid overloading it and preserving the fuel source. You'll also need to hook it up safely whenever you want some backup generator power. The biggest benefit of a home standby unit is it will automatically start when the power goes out. It also typically has a propane or natural gas connection, so there’s no need to refuel as often. For some homeowners, this convenience outweighs their high cost.
