Carlisle's Pizza Tavern — Restaurant in Roswell

We had the pleasure today to stop in to have a cool drink and some great pizza. Walking around Roswell, there are a lot of choices. This was the first time I had been to the main area of Roswell. The walk through the streets is a reflection of old-time neighborhood shops and restaurants. Charlise's Pizza Tavern reflects this. A comfortable, welcoming place that is perfect for meeting friends, having drinks, and enjoying good food. There are several seating area choices to choose from. If you are looking to escape the outside, choose from bar seating to tables upstairs and down. If outside is your desire, there is a lot of outdoor table seating to watch the world stroll by. I ordered a delicious and refreshing sangria from the bar, and my friend chose to have a beer. I ordered a Picasso Pizza and added mushrooms and sausage. It was delicious. We took the advice of a long-time customer to order a pie vs. just having a slice. It was a great recommendation. My friend ordered the Olive Tapenade. Both items came out fresh and fast. Out of all the choices we had in the area, I am glad we stopped at Carlise's. Excuse the partial food pics. We were hungry, and it was so good. Taking pictures was a secondary thought. We will return again the next time I am...

My family and I used to love this place, especially for trivia on Wednesday nights. We liked the food and the atmosphere, until we had an encounter with the owner/manager who was extremely rude and unappreciative towards us. This place has been empty most nights until recently, and I feel as though the owner should not be treating paying customers badly, as they are not abundant. We attempted to use coupons that we won during trivia a previous week and we were told we could not use the coupons on a trivia night in conjunction with the wine promotion. This was never the case before, but I guess since the restaurant has become more popular the owner decided the customers who have been loyals each week were "taking advantage of him" in his words. He claimed he was "trying to run a business" and couldn't give two discounts on one check and felt the need to come and look down on us at our table because we asked the server to split checks differently in order to utilize both discounts. We came back another day to use the coupons that were denied on trivia night, and we have not been back since and NEVER will give this guy our money again. I give the place a few months then the next entrepreneur...

I had the Buffalo Chicken Pizza which was tasty but after waiting two hours for it I was pretty annoyed. Service was beyond abysmal. Our waiter I'm hoping was brand new because he couldn't answer a single question about the menu. He must have apologized 20 times during our time there. Pretty sure he forgot to put in our order because he came out and said there had been a mixup in the kitchen. The place was not crowded and there appeared to be enough staff so not sure what was going on. They had a bird lovers group outside on the patio but they were allowing these folks to walk inside with their birds. Gross, unsanitary and the parrot was obnoxiously loud. Took our waiter 30 minutes to come check on us after our food was delivered at which point we asked for our checks. Another 10 minutes go by and he is walking checks out for another table and sees us and goes "oh shoot I forgot to get your checks, be right back". GRRR... won't be going back most likely which is a shame because my...
