We Offer Authentic Italian Food

Whether you’re trying to find the best authentic pasta, pizza, calzones or Italian desserts in Charlotte, we’ve got you covered. In fact, recipes for our pasta dishes hail all the way from Calabria, Italy. Thus, you get real Italian food when you dine at Tony’s.

Additionally, all our entrees include a tasty side salad and our famous garlic knots.

Likewise, Italy is known for its diverse selection of delicious cheeses. Pastry chefs in Italy blend some of these cheeses with sugar. And, yes, the result is a plethora of mouth-watering desserts.

  • Cannoli – a deep fried tube of dough filled with ricotta – is a prime example.
  • Tiramisu is another well-known Italian delicacy made with cheese. It contains layers of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, mascarpone filling and chocolate.
  • Or, if you’d like something a little different, try our limoncello mascarpone cake. Customers love our soft lemony sponge cake topped with sweet mascarpone icing.
  • Of course, we also have Italian-style cheesecake. You can’t beat this tried and true delicious dessert.

Pizza, Calzone and Stromboli

While some people debate whether or not NY-style pizza is authentically Italian, it is authentically amazing and delicious. Certainly, it is also a close cousin of an Italian pie. Originally serving this delightful pizza in Brooklyn, our owners moved and brought it to North Carolina in the 80s. With a chewy yet crispy crust, our patrons find our huge slices irresistible. If you haven’t tried it yet, we highly suggest to add it to your culinary journey of the best Italian food in Charlotte.

We offer our NY-style pizza by the slice or in sizes ranging from 10-inch to 24-inch. Moreover, if you’d like to skip the gluten, we offer a gluten-free and cauliflower pizza as well. Keep in mind, since flour flies around our kitchen, we’re not considered a gluten-free facility. Thus, if you have severe wheat allergies, our gluten-free pizza may not be your best choice.

Similarly, our calzone and stromboli are delicious Italian options as well. You can choose the same toppings that we offer for our pizza or just go with perfectly melted cheese and our secret tomato sauce.
