Moreover, our owners’ ancestors hail directly from Italy. Therefore, our customers enjoy dishes made with recipes handed down through our family. Thus, when you choose Tony’s Pizza for your Italian food cravings, you get the real deal!

What Makes Tony’s the Best Italian Food?

As a family-owned restaurant, we take family traditions very seriously. As mentioned, our owners’ family is from Italy – Calabria to be precise. We use their methods and recipes in our Italian dishes which include:

  • Eggplant Parmigiana
  • Chicken Parmigiana
  • Baked Ziti
  • Meat Lasagna
  • Baked Ricotta Cheese Ravioli

NY-Style Pizza

Obviously, since it’s in our namesake, we would be amiss if we didn’t mention our New-York style pizza as well. While it’s a little different than true Italian-style pizza, it is a masterpiece you shouldn’t miss! Owners Vinny, Mario and Tony perfected this Brooklyn-style pizza in the best place to do it – Brooklyn!  Around the 80s, they brought this classic crust to the coast of North Carolina. Then, we expanded to the Charlotte, Hickory and triad area. Come grab a bite of our huge chewy yet crispy slices of authentic NY-style pie.

What Makes Tony’s the Best?

Still wondering if you’ve found the best Italian restaurant near me? Consider a few things that set us apart from the competition.

First, we’re not a classic chain restaurant like Olive Garden. Not that we’re knocking them because we like some of their dishes too. However, we give individual attention to each entree. Even though we have several locations, we are family owned. Plus, many of our team members are actually family as well. And, those who aren’t, are like family. Trust us, you should see us at a company meeting! We ARE family. Our entire team cares about every single dish that we serve.

Second, we believe that the best Italian dishes begin with the freshest ingredients. We source as locally as possible. Therefore, our food is as fresh as possible. Similarly, we search for quality ingredients. It isn’t always about price. Our tomatoes, cheese, herbs and other ingredients must meet our standards of quality before we use them in our Italian meals.

Third, we believe in big portions! If you leave hungry, we haven’t done our job. Conversely, we don’t just pile on creamy, delicious cheese and loads of sauce for the heck of it. We make sure that each ingredient complements rather than overwhelms the others. After all, we want you to taste all the fun nuances in our Italian dishes. It’s all about balance!

Rave Reviews for Tony’s Pizza

Moreover, don’t just take our word that you’ve found one of the best Italian places near me, hear from our customers. Below, are a couple reviews:

“I discovered this restaurant from work because, we can not leave from work for lunch… EVERYTHING from this place is delicious. My favorite is the homemade lasagna which I have ordered several times…” – Greta M.

“We just moved to this area and had been wanting to try Tony’s for several days. I must say we were very pleasantly surprised! We ordered online for pickup and the food was ready on-time and was very hot and fresh even after we got it back to our apartment. We got the Cheesy Garlic bread, which was not smothered in cheese but very sufficient. It was, however, very buttery with a strong garlic flavor.

The marinara dipping sauce was some of the best I’ve had. Delicious. We also tried the fried mushrooms which were excellent as well. Our main entree was a 15″ Pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives. I have to say it was up with the top best 2 or 3 pizzas I’ve ever had. Perfect crust, great sauce, and the mushrooms were fresh! So many places use canned mushrooms and it’s just not the same. A+++ will definitely be going here again. Can’t wait to try the calzones and subs”. – Eric M.

Craving a slice of authentic New York pizza but not in the mood to make the trip up north? While we think it’s worth a quick flight, we also understand a slice of pizza might not justify a pricey plane ride. Fortunately, you can find New York pizza right here in North Carolina. Thanks to Tony’s Pizza, you can skip that flight and even skip the car ride for your own slice of New York-style heaven. See for yourself with our New York pizza delivery (click the Start Delivery Order button above), available at our locations in Mooresville, Charlotte, Hickory, and Huntersville.

What’s Different About New York-Style?

For many foodies, pizza is never the same at any two places. Every state has its own take on the circular-shaped classic, making it unique from all other versions. New York-style pizza is one of the most popular, but do you know why?

In the bustling state of New York, most people have to eat their meals on the go or within a short lunch break. To make this easier, New York-style pizza was crafted for an easy handheld snack. It is large and thin, perfect for folding into a sandwich of cheesy goodness. It’s still just as crispy and delicious as other styles, but thinner and more flexible for ease of eating.

New York pizza also has more ingredients in the dough and sauce than other traditional pizzas. This can also make it taste a little different. The thin texture of the crust takes more time and preparation, as we carefully hand-toss every piece to perfection. Tony’s sauce has its own unique taste that you can’t find anywhere else. Why? It’s a secret recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. You won’t find a pizza or sauce quite like ours at any chain restaurant because we know just what is meant by “New York-style.”

Finding Pizza By The Slice Near Me in NC

While we encourage you to grab an entire pie so you have enough for everyone to try, we also offer pizzas by the slice for a quick lunch break takeout or yummy snack. Several of our pizzas are offered by the slice, including the two classics: pepperoni and cheese.

Pizza isn’t the only food item we deliver right to your doorstep. While you may not have to drive to New York for it, we believe in easy access to whatever food you’re feeling. Tony’s has partnered with Doordash to deliver whatever Italian cravings you may be having straight to you, available for online order from open to close! Thus, if you’re in the mood for something else, try out one of our Italian entrees, salads, subs, or desserts!

Variety of Items Available for Delivery

As mentioned, Tony’s has more than one Italian dish to offer, even for delivery. When we traveled to the U.S. from Italy, so did many of our family recipes. Check out the list below or our menu on Doordash to see what authentic Italian catches your eye.

We Know How You Love Your Pizza!

Most people love pizza, eating about 180 slices per year per person. When you have a craving, nothing will satisfy it except a delicious, hot, cheesy pizza pie. Tony’s Pizza understands your yearnings. We specialize in America’s favorite type, NY style pizza.

Our owners, Vinny, Tony, and Mario, grew up in Brooklyn, NY. It was here they learned the secrets of great pizza making. Every detail matters from kneading to proofing, and hand-tossing, to create our signature crust.

Next, we blend the freshest ingredients to make our tangy tomato sauce. It’s derived from an old family recipe brought over from Calabria, Italy. The texture is thin enough to spread, yet thick enough to keep the crust from getting soggy.

Of course, the only cheese for NY style pizza is low-moisture mozzarella. This cheese has the perfect consistency when baked – stretchy and elastic. Plus, it has very little water to release as it melts keeping your crust crispy.

While cheese is the most popular pizza, some diners love to customize their pizza pie with toppings. At Tony’s Pizza we offer an abundance of toppings to create the perfect flavor. Alternatively, you can pick one of our specialty pizzas:

  1. Greenhouse – vegetarian lovers
  2. 5 Boroughs – meat lovers
  3. Pizza Bianco – white pizza
  4. Spicy Buffalo chicken
  5. The Worx – a little bit of everything

Diners Also Love Our Other Menu Options

In addition to pizza pie, we serve many other favorite Italian dishes. We also specialize in 2 close cousins of pizza, calzones and strombolis. Both begin with pizza dough, cheese, and sauce. However, unlike pizza, we bake all the toppings inside the crust as our chefs fold the dough over the top. Furthermore, calzones typically have a half-moon shape while strombolis have a log form. Plus, we cook the sauce inside a stromboli instead of serving it on the side like a calzone.

Additionally, we also have several authentic Italian dishes on our menu. Slathered in our fresh tomato sauce, these options are sure to please:

  • Baked ziti
  • Eggplant parmigiana
  • Chicken parmigiana
  • Lasagna
  • Ravioli
  • Spaghetti

Then, there are our submarine sandwiches. You can choose from 2 different sizes, 8 or 12 inches. Our selection includes both hot and cold subs in 11 delectable choices. Plus, we offer salads and appetizers to complete your meal.

Moreover, we also offer a few sweet treats for desserts. Choose from limoncello mascarpone cake, cannoli, cheesecake, or tiramisu. Of course, we also have a kids’ menu with smaller-sized portions at prices you’ll love. All items are $5 or less. Finally, we have several party trays of your favorites for those times when you have a large gathering.

While fine dining has its place, eating out with the family can be a huge expense. Plus, not all restaurants offer kids’ menus at a discounted rate. Moreover, some aren’t even welcoming to young kids. So, after spending a day at the lake, where’s the best place to eat?

We offer several sizes of pizza pies from 10-inch to 24-inch party sizes. With over 30 popular toppings, you can personalize your pizza to suit your taste. Yet, sometimes it can be difficult to choose the best combination of flavors. That’s why we also offer several specialty pizzas:

Our vegetable pizza has plenty of delicious, fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and black olives.

2. 5 Boroughs

Named after our hometown, we pile on the pepperoni, bacon, ham, sausage, and beef for a delicious meat lovers pie.

3. Spicy Buffalo Chicken

When you crave a tangy flavor, try this pizza pie. It features spicy Buffalo chicken atop cheese and our signature crust.

Looking for family style restaurants near me? Typically, family-style meals brings the vision of loads of food on the table and everyone passing dishes serving themselves. In fact, this is exactly how many large Italian families and friends have gathered and eaten through the years. Truly, it’s an invaluable way to bond and a fun way to eat.

Why is Having Dinner Together Important

Since the pandemic, the percentage of families eating together has risen. While the numbers aren’t as good as they were 30 plus years ago, we’re heartened to see this trend back on the rise. After all, our owners are from a large, Italian family with lots of love to share. They have personally experienced the benefits of dining together.

In fact, studies show that eating meals together have multiple benefits for children including: lower rates of depression, decreased risk of eating disorders, better academic performance and higher self-esteem.

Thus, our team at Tony’s Pizza is happy to encourage our families to eat and spend time together. Likewise, our larger menu items lend themselves to making this an easier endeavor.

Best Menu Items to Order Family Style

As you’re searching for family style restaurants near me, you may envision a certain scenario. Traditionally, a family-style restaurant piles platters on the table and refills them as needed. While we don’t do it exactly like this, the result is similar with our large portions.

First coming to mind, is our 24-inch NY-style pizza. Order this any way you like it – you can even do ½ and ½ toppings for pickier eaters – and grab some appetizers to go with it. Wings, a large salad, fried ravioli, onion rings and fried mushrooms are great accompaniments.

Second, our calzones and stromboli are great to serve family style. Order a couple of our large ones along with a large salad and a couple desserts and share these tasty treats.

Similarly, if you’re dining family style at home, order our party platters for takeout. Our party trays include:

  • Baked ravioli
  • Chicken parmigiana
  • Eggplant parmigiana
  • Baked ziti
  • Lasagna
  • Spaghetti with marinara
  • Spaghetti with marinara and meatballs
  • Garlic knots
  • Greek salad
  • Garden salad
  • Cannoli

From salad and entrees to desserts, we’ve got you covered for a fun  family meal!

Family-Style Sub Feast

Conversely, it’s fun to try something a little different now and then. Consider ordering a handful of subs and cut them into smaller portions. Then, let everyone sample a bite of each. It’s a great way to encourage kids to try new things. Plus, it’s a fun way to get a little taste of everything when you’re craving multiple flavors.

Better yet, make it a fun taste-test game. Give everyone at the table a sheet of paper and a pencil. Have each family member write down the name of each sub you’ve chosen. After tasting each one, score it from 1-10. Then, compare your results to see which is the overall winner.

In fact, Thursday is a great day to try this method as we have a 2-sub special!

Kid’s Meals at Tony’s Pizza

Ultimately, we couldn’t really claim ourselves to be a fabulous family restaurant without kid’s meals. Currently, they are all $5 and under AND include a kid-sized drink.

Choose from:

  • Cheese sticks
  • Spaghetti or ziti with marinara or butter sauce (meatballs optional for an additional charge)
  • Pepperoni pizza slice
  • Cheese-stuffed ravioli with marinara or butter sauce
  • Meatball sub with fries

The best Italian meal is incomplete without a delicious dessert. After all, why not finish off a savory meal with something sweet? Lucky for you, Tony’s has the perfect treat to do this. We offer a wide range of tantalizing desserts, including our fan-favorite limoncello mascarpone cake. Join us for lunch or dinner and finish off your authentic Italian meal with a slice (or two). Better yet, take some home for the whole family to enjoy.

How Do We Make Our Limoncello Mascarpone Cake?

This Italian dish has many different family recipes and may vary from place to place. Regardless, each cake requires two main ingredients that give this treat its name. If you can’t guess, it’s limoncello and mascarpone!

The first main ingredient is limoncello, a lemon liqueur made from lemon zest. It is mostly produced in Southern Italy, around the Gulf of Naples, Sicily, and the Amalfi Coast. Many Italians drink limoncello as a chilled drink used as an after-dinner digestive. Regardless of its use, limoncello has a clear Italian heritage.

The second ingredient, mascarpone, is a sort of soft cream cheese. It is different from traditional cream cheese in that mascarpone is acid-set and made with heavy cream instead of whole milk. This gives it a richer, buttery taste that makes it perfect for sweet and savory dishes. While not great by itself, mascarpone makes for a decadent addition to several Italian desserts.

Making a limoncello mascarpone cake is not a simple process, so we’ll leave out all the specifics. What’s most important to note is how exactly Tony’s limoncello mascarpone cake is different from the rest! We combine luscious Sicilian lemon-infused sponge cake and layers of creamy Italian mascarpone, finished off with a generous topping of white chocolate curls.

Can I Make My Own Limoncello Mascarpone Cake?

It’s always possible to recreate this dish, but we can’t promise it’ll be as good as Tony’s. Instead, let us convince you to give ours a try and you’ll never want to make your own again!

  • Our recipe is an ancient secret. It has been passed down for generations and is unique from the rest. We have perfected this authentic Italian dessert over the years.
  • There are a lot of moving parts to making this cake. Not to mention, it can get expensive! Let us save you time, money, and tons of dirty dishes by trying one of our slices.
  • Our ingredients are always authentic and Italian. It can be hard to find this in stores, especially the limoncello. Save the worrying over expensive, inauthentic ingredients and be sure you’re getting exactly what you’d hoped for.
  • You can see our prices without even coming to the restaurant! We have easy online access to our menus at every Tony’s location. Plus, we can bet our limoncello mascarpone comes at a lower cost than making your own from scratch if you don’t already have the ingredients on hand.

While you’re at it, you might as well bring the whole family for dinner. That way, you have a reason to stay for dessert! Try a starter, slice of pizza, or one of our authentic Italian dishes alongside your heavenly slice of limoncello mascarpone cake.

Full Selection of Desserts

If you aren’t in the mood for something fruity, we have several other desserts to fancy your fare. Check out our full list below to see which one you might try next.

Cannoli is a very popular Italian dessert. Here at Tony’s, we know how to make it right. Try this tube-shaped fried pastry, stuffed with sweet cream, ricotta cheese, and yummy chocolate chips. It’s hard to find anything like this nearby!

Tiramisu is another great option, especially if you love coffee. This dessert is a coffee-lover’s dream, filled with layers of coffee-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone. To top it off, we add a light dusting of cocoa powder.

Lastly, we wanted to bring another part of our New York roots to the menu. It wouldn’t be complete without authentic NY-style cheesecake.

FAQs About Desserts at Tony’s Pizza

One thing is clear: Tony’s desserts are a must-try. Fortunately, we offer them in-house, takeout, and through delivery. Order a dessert online or come into a Tony’s near you to try one today. If you don’t know which to pick, ask a worker for their own recommendation. Regardless, our desserts will never disappoint.

Is it “mascarpone” or “marscapone?”

Many people accidentally mispronounce this hard word, putting the -r before the -s, including many professional chefs. Italians have been using the word for years and know the correct way to say it, which is “mascarpone.” It should sound like “maa-skaar-pow-nay” when you say it aloud. Don’t worry, we won’t judge if you can’t get it on the first try!

Can I order a full limoncello mascarpone cake?

On our menu, limoncello mascarpone is sold by the slice. However, if you’re trying to buy an entire cake, give us a call at one of our locations in Mooresville, Charlotte, Hickory, or Huntersville. We’ll do our best to accommodate any needs you may have!

Do you have a loyalty program?

Why yes, we do! Whether you’re stopping in for a slice of cake or an entire meal, earn points while doing it! You can sign up in-person with a phone number or download our easy-to-use app, available for both iPhone and Android. For every purchase you make, you’ll earn points towards rewards. This includes free food, exclusive coupons, and discount codes.

If you’re in the Charlotte or Hickory area, come by Tony’s Pizza and try a slice today! To go with your dessert, you may want to grab a slice of our NY-style pizza while you’re here! Likewise, if you’re in Winston-Salem, Clemmons, Greensboro or High Point, our sister store – Mario’s Pizza – has limoncello mascarpone too.

Do You Have Holiday Deals?

We do! In fact, from November 1st to December 10th, 2023, you’ll receive a free 6-piece order of garlic knots when you buy a gift card of $25 or more. Be on the lookout via social media for the most updated deals!

What’s Typically on an Italian Restaurant Menu

Truthfully, when folks think of authentic Italian in the United States, the results tend to be a tad skewed. After all, Italian as we know it evolved a bit over the years.

Generally, the most favorite Italian entrees that have changed a bit since Italian immigrants reached our shores include:

  • Spaghetti and Meatballs – Immigrants in America adapted traditional meatball recipes by increasing meat proportions and reducing bread ratios due to the abundant meat availability. Canned tomatoes and spaghetti, being affordable and widespread, led to the creation of this popular dish.
  • Garlic Bread – Originally inspired by Italian bruschetta, garlic bread emerged when olive oil was scarce. Thus, butter became a suitable substitute.
  • Veal or Chicken Parmigiana – American immigrants substituted eggplant with more affordable veal and chicken for the traditional Italian eggplant parmigiana.
  • Lasagna – The Americanized version of Italian lasagna evolved to streamline the lengthy Italian preparation. This masterpiece results in layers of tomato meat sauce, noodles, and cheese.
  • Pizza – America’s beloved comfort food with gooey melted cheese, tangy tomato sauce, and a crispy yet chewy crust, pizza is versatile and satisfying.
  • Stromboli and Calzone – These folded and rolled delights are a close relative of pizza. Although, the toppings are inside rather than out. Plus, calzone comes with a side of sauce for dunking. Conversely, we cook the sauce right inside stromboli. Either way, it’s pure yumminess!

Fortunately, our Italian restaurant menu includes all of these based on family recipes passed down straight from Calabria, Italy.

Our NY-Style Pizza

Speaking of pizza, we’d be amiss at talking about Tony’s menu without focusing on our namesake a bit. We serve NY-style pizza which originated in the Brooklyn area. In fact, our owners, Tony, Mario and Vinny grew up there and perfected their recipes until moving to the Carolinas in the early 80s.

Order our authentic NY-style pizza by the slice or a whole pie. Sizes range from 10”- 24”. Likewise, we have 40 plus toppings to personalize pizza for nearly any tastebud. If you’re not in the mood to decide on a topping, try one of our specialty pizzas. We’ve already blended the flavors for you!

  • 5 Boroughs – loaded with meat including beef, pepperoni, bacon, ham and sausage
  • Greenhouse – great way to get your veggies including tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, black olives and spinach
  • The Worx – a little bit of the above
  • Pizza Bianco – our tasty take on white pizza with mozzarella, fresh garlic and ricotta
  • Spicy Buffalo Chicken – Red onions and a little heat with your chicken

Moreover, we realize that some of our diners have dietary restrictions. Therefore, we offer cauliflower and gluten-free crusts as well as vegan cheese. Keep in mind, flour flies around our kitchen so our gluten-free pizza is not certified as such.

More Italian Menu Items

Likewise, while Italian entrees and pizza are the most common Italian restaurant menu items, many local Italian restaurants also serve other fabulous food such as appetizers, subs, salads and Italian desserts. Below, are some of our other favorite menu items.

First, lead your Italian meal with one of our irresistible appetizers such as:
  • Italian sausage
  • Garlic knots
  • Boneless wings
  • Garlic bread (with or without cheese)
  • Bone-in wings
  • Toasted ravioli
  • Onion rings

  • Jalapeno poppers

  • Veggie Sub

Choose your sub Tony’s Way with: cheese, banana peppers, onions, mayo, lettuce, tomato, oil and vinegar. Or, pick Philly style with: cheese, bell peppers, mushrooms and onions.

If you want to keep it light or wish for an accompaniment to your meal, order a salad or add a side salad. In fact, all of our Italian entrees come with a side salad. Moreover, we also serve decadent desserts. Choose from: cheesecake, cannoli, tiramisu or limoncello mascarpone cake. If you don’t think you’ll have room for it, order it anyway and save it for later!
