Afton Pub & Pizza 5380 Village Drive Northwest, Concord, NC 28027

"We’ve given this place three shots - all take out orders. We’ve only ordered pizza. The toppings are of good quality and the crust is not bad - kind of between crispy and chewy. The problem for me is that there’s next to nothing between the crust and the toppings. Where’s the sauce? I’m not exaggerating. The amount of sauce is so small that you can’t taste it. The Alla Vodka sauce? Wish I could tell you how it is - there was a microscopic amount on our pizza. Every pizza we’ve ordered has been like this - we’ve ordered 6. Maybe no sauce on a pizza is their thing…or your thing. I come from an area in the country where sauce is a major component of a pizza. If you’re a fan of New York style pizza, Detroit style, Chicago tavern style…..this pizza is nothing like any of those. We’re out on Afton Pizza Pub."

"The bartender Olivia was rude and stuck up. She needs to be fired! She cannot make simple bar drinks. The restaurant was damn near empty and my single takeout entrée took 40 MINUTES! she then let it sit on the bar for 15 additional minutes and it wasn’t until I came up to the bar and asked her if it was ready she said “oh yeah it’s right here” it was cold and burnt. I overheard her complain about not receiving tips from MULTIPLE TABLES which is extremely entitled and unprofessional. Please hire better bar staff who actually care about their customers."

"We came in a were promptly seating. It was a game day, so the bar wasn't too packed (about 8 people), but the vibe was very chill. Our server (Mia) was EXTREMELY nice, friendly and informative about the menu items as it was our first time there. We ordered the wings, mozzarella bites and two 10 inch pies. We felt that the food was good, nothing undercooked. The wait time for the apps was about 10 minutes and the pie came out in about 15 more minutes. We didn't have problem with the food arrival time as we were focused on the football games and just carrying on conversation between us. All in all, we loved the place and we'll be back!"

"We were looking for a pizza while we waited out the rain ridden Coke 600 and we don’t recommend this one. Pizza boxes stacked everywhere at the entrance and a horrible smell of bleach on the way to the back dining room area. Floors need cleaned too. If you can get past that, the Mozzarella sticks look like they have seasoning but we’re tasteless. Pizza came so fast but here’s why. Pizzas undercooked and doughy in the center. Pale white on the bottom. So eventually the manager came and offered to remake the pizzas. Brought them back burnt. So hard you couldn’t eat the crust. Toppings were good quality ingredients though. And order salad dressing on the side as they put way too much!"

"The most outstanding thing about our experience was our waiter Jon, very helpful and attentive. Unfortunately, the french fries were the best thing about our meal. We were partially refunded our meal. The Italian nachos had good potential, the portion size was generous, but the chips were such a pool of oil I couldn't even finish it. Kind of was the case for the eggplant fries too. The kaboom sauce is excellent and the draft beers tasted good. On our way out we saw some people that got pizza which looked good. Might be back to try that, but will probably stick with their "tavern" although they could use a menu refresh..."
