If you’re on the hunt for tasty food in Mooresville NC, you don’t have to look far. Fortunately, if you live anywhere in the Charlotte or Hickory area, it’s likely Tony’s Pizza is nearby. And, we like to think we have some of the best food Mooresville NC has to offer.
Beginning with Mario’s Pizza, our sister restaurant, Tony’s Pizza continues to spread throughout North Carolina. We now have multiple delicious locations in Mooresville, Huntersville, Hickory and throughout Charlotte.
Since 1981, we’ve served our signature NY-style pizza thanks to brothers, Tony, Vinny, and Mario, who moved from Brooklyn, NY to NC. We opened our first pizzeria in Jacksonville. Since then, our menu expanded and now includes salads, calzones, strombolis, and numerous other authentic Italian dishes.
Of course, it’s in our name, we serve pizza! NY Style to be specific. But, we also have other fun food Mooresville NC has to offer. Here are some specific options on our delicious menu:
Each kid’s meal comes with a free drink in a reusable cup with straw.
If you live in or visit North Carolina, you’ve likely tried regional favorites like Lexington BBQ. However, many national chains originated in the Tar Heel State as well. Pepsi, Mt. Olive Pickles, Cheerwine and Lance Crackers are all well-known brands that began in our state. Likewise, several famous eateries began in NC too.
In 1960, Wilbur Hardee liked what he saw at a McDonald’s and opened a similar-style restaurant in Greenville. For deeper flavor, he cooked his burgers over a chargrill. Eventually Hardee sold ownership of his name although the chain continued to flourish and opened 1,800 restaurants across the U.S.
Jack Fulk (a Hardee’s franchise owner) and Richard Thomas (a Kentucky Fried Chicken executive) joined forces to open Bojangles in 1977 in Charlotte. Specializing in Cajun fried chicken and fresh, homemade buttermilk biscuits, the restaurant is a favorite eatery today with about 340 locations in NC alone.
Morris Reaves opened the first Cookout restaurant in Greensboro in 1989. Still growing, this favorite offers inexpensive prices and a multitude of sides. Better yet, they serve another NC original, Cheerwine!
1937 marks the birth of a North Carolina sweet treat. Around that time, Vernon Rudolph purchased a secret yeast-raised doughnut recipe from a New Orleans French chef. Next, he rented a building in historic Old Salem and baked his doughnuts for local grocery stores. Once passersby began asking to buy the aromatic delight, Vernon cut a hole in an outside wall and sold doughnuts from his shop.

Nowadays, most folks consider pasta an Italian food thanks to all the delicious recipes hailing from Italy. However, it’s likely that pasta actually comes from noodle dishes in China. In the 13th century, Marco Polo brought these tasty meals to Italy. Another possibility is that nomadic Arabs spread these dishes to Europe. No matter where it actually came from, pretty much everyone agrees – it’s delicious!
However it actually got to Europe and then the states, it likely came from Asia. Although, in China, the breadfruit tree contributed the flour to make their noodle-filled dishes. Once in Europe, the technique changed a bit. Durum wheat became the main ingredient which produced a dry product that was easier to store and transport. Moreover, since fresh veggies and tomatoes proliferated in Italy’s mild climate, the sauces changed to variations we associate with Italian food today.
Once pasta hit the Americas in the 1700s, Italian immigrants made it a popular street food including the NY-Style foldable pizza that is so beloved today. Check out more about the history of pasta here!
Speaking of the iconic NY-Style Pizza, we offer more than just pasta dishes at Tony’s. Naturally, you see the first one in our name – pizza! Our other entrees include:

With layers of marvelous mascarpone spread between lemon-infused sponge and topped with white chocolate curls, it’s a customer favorite.

Feel free to call the location nearest you if you have more queries. Or, stop by so you can grab a bite with your answers!

“We found this place on Trip Advisor as we were passing through Hickory on our way to Charlotte. TJ took our order and he was very friendly and attentive to the customers. All the guys were working hard here. The pizza was great and you get a big pie for the money. I highly recommend to anyone driving through.” – Jill D.
“If you are from Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Long Island, or New Jersey, this is…hands down…the best pizza you will find in Hickory. As a recent transplant, I have been looking for that “perfect NY slice”. While it’s not a perfect 10, I’ll give it a 9.75. Everything else in town is an 8 or below. Keep in mind that there are several places in town doing Neopolitan style wood fired pizzas, which are very good, but I am referring to an authentic NY pizza…cooked on a deck oven. Friendly staff, quick service (despite being absolutely slammed last night) everyone managed to have a smile and looked like they were having fun making pizza!” – Stratocaster
“It has been a while since the last time. We will come back sooner. We had The Worx pizza. Very good. The sauce is like biting into a tomato. The toppings were very fresh and they laid them heavy on the pie. Take out food. Staff was very nice.” – Henry NC7

Close on the tails of burgers, pizza is one of the second most popular fast foods in America. With a crispy crust, tangy sauce, and melty cheese, the flavorful favorite is tough to resist. Although, with so many pizzerias to choose from, how do you pick the best pizza Huntersville offers?
There may be plentiful pizzerias in your town. However, not all have the best pizza Huntersville offers. Furthermore, the style of pizza is as important as the toppings. Whether you’re craving a big slice of NY-style pizza or a deep dip into Chicago style, popular Italian restaurants have similar must-haves:
First, search for reviews from customers. At Tony’s Pizza, our loyal fan base loves to tell others about our pizza:
“Definitely service with a smile, Employees and food were outstanding. Pizza and wings were the best I’ve had in a good while. Definitely going to be coming back when I get the chance.” – Tony Church
“Best Pizza in Huntersville. The Decor is tight also all NYC stuff! Been there, 300 times at least! Will be back! It changed owner’s, while I was still in NC! Pizza didn’t change! Yum.”– Michael Hartman
Of course, our specialty is delicious NY-Style pizza. Likewise, we offer many other delicious Italian dishes, appetizers, salads and desserts including: subs, calzones, stromboli, and parmigiana, meatballs, wings, cannoli, cheesecake and limoncello mascarpone cake.
Mostly, excellent Italian fare begins with traditional recipes from the old country. Tony’s Pizza traces their roots to Calabria, Italy.
Similarly, we also understand the importance of value and taking your family out to eat. Thus, we offer a kid’s menu with options for $5 and under along with daily specials for adults.
Let’s face it, we all tend to lead busy lives. Ordering online is convenient. Therefore, Tony’s offers online ordering at all our locations. Choose to pick up your meal or have it delivered to your door. Whichever you choose, you’ll save time and get some great tasting pizza!
While these pizzeria must-haves are important, let’s dig deeper into the best pizza Huntersville offers. After all, what really makes one restaurant’s pizza better than another? Below, here’s what we think makes the best tasting pizza.
Notably, fresh and preserved ingredients taste differently. When processed, these ingredients contain sodium, sugar, and preservatives to increase food’s shelf life. Unfortunately, these additives mar the true flavor. At Tony’s, we use the freshest ingredients possible.
Soggy, tasteless crust ruins any good pizza even if the toppings are superior. Whether you like thick or thin, best pizzas begin with well-crafted crust. Three characteristics that make the perfect crust are:
Hand tossing it a bit doesn’t hurt either. Another art we’ve perfected at Tony’s Pizza!
Once you perfect the base of your pizza, sauce is the next critical element. Perfectly seasoned fresh tomatoes enhance the overall flavor of the pie.
True pizza lovers hotly debate which pizza toppings are best. Whichever combination you prefer, top pizza places offer plenty of options. At Tony’s Pizza, we have over twenty toppings to customize the perfect pizza.
Another hotly debated topic: wood-fired or gas oven? Each method may impart a slightly different taste. Although, seasoned chefs pay attention to oven temperature and cooking time as well.
In the end, when you combine these qualities, you get a pizza that tastes delicious!
Below, we’ve answered a few of our most commonly asked questions.
Absolutely! Choose from our rice-based or cauliflower crusts. Similarly, we have many gluten-free toppings. When you place your order, ask your server about safe options.

One thing that’s so great about North Carolina is that it’s a melting pot of folks from other states. Notably, this is especially true in the Charlotte, Huntersville and Mooresville area. Other than being a beautiful place to live, our mild climate coupled with affordability and economic opportunities draw an eclectic group of folks. Moreover, a large number of people in North Carolina come from New York. Many of these folks still crave food from their hometowns. If you’re searching for the best pizza Mooresville restaurants have to offer, head over to Tony’s Pizza.
Those who aren’t familiar with NY-style pizza, often wonder what makes it so special. After all, there are lots of other types of pizza such as Neapolitan or Chicago.
However, New York-Style Pizza is in a class of its own starting with the crust. We create the dough with a high-gluten flour mixed with water, salt, yeast, and olive oil. Then, we hand-toss it to form a crust that’s slightly thicker around the edges (this is a very crucial step!). Next, our chefs top the dough with seasoned tomato sauce. Typically, ingredients include garlic, basil, and oregano.
Atop our flavorful sauce, the chef sprinkles grated mozzarella cheese. Keep in mind, this mozzarella must be low moisture which gives pizza its stringy characteristic.
Finally, you get to customize your pie with all the delicious toppings we have to choose from. Often, our guests debate about which ingredients make the best pizza. At Tony’s Pizza, we have over 2 dozen delicious toppings to sate everyone’s taste buds.
Once baked, this hand-tossed crust is crispy, yet still foldable so you can eat it on the go.
It’s practically a fact, pizza is one of America’s favorite foods. At least once a week, an estimated 40 percent of the population eats it. Here are a few reasons why we love this Italian dish:
Initially, chefs cooked pizza in coal-fired ovens. Because it was cooked by this method, you could only buy pizza by the pie. Once gas-fueled ovens hit the scene in the 1930s, chefs could pre-bake pizza making slices easy to reheat. Thus, in New York City, all the residents traveling on foot could simply grab a slice of pizza and go.
Nowadays, most pizzerias still sell by the slice. Moreover, as we mentioned earlier, NY-style pizza easily folds still allowing diners to eat as they travel.
Whether you love veggies or meats, you’ll find plenty of awesome toppings to suit your taste buds. From trendy to traditional, mixing different toppings gives your pizza a whole new flavor.
Some people view pizza as junk food. However, it has a combination of protein, carbs and fat which offers a nutritious balance. If you add fresh vegetable toppings, you get a boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So, stop feeling guilty and eat up!
When you eat pizza, your brain releases endorphins. These chemicals boost feelings of happiness. In a sense, eating pizza makes you feel good.
Tangy tomato sauce, crispy crust and stringy cheese. Need we say more?

“My family loves Tony’s Pizza. A large pizza takes up the entire table. Yes that is correct. We just ate from the pizza pan. There were two adults and two teenagers and we took 1/2 of the pizza home. Great sauce that makes my mouth water thinking about it. You will love Tony’s Pizza.”
“If you are looking for a true New York Style thin Pizza that is absolutely Yummy, it’s Tony’s Pizza! Eat it fresh and hot and you will be amazed.

Sticking to a gluten free diet has become more popular over the years. Likewise, some must avoid gluten because of medical conditions and health issues. It can make eating out much more difficult because of the numerous foods that contain wheat, such as pizza. Here at Tony’s Pizza, we offer gluten free pizza to make going out to grab a bite a little easier.
If you’re unfamiliar with gluten, it is a type of protein found in wheat, rye, triticale, and barley. The gluten in food can cause unwanted effects once ingested that range in severity. The effects of gluten ingestion range in severity depending on medical diagnosis:
Reactions to gluten can be anywhere from mild to severe or even deadly depending on one’s diagnosis. Regardless, each type of medical condition requires a diet that limits gluten intake.
A few symptoms may appear as bloating, diarrhea, rash, headaches, and constipation. Celiac Disease also shows similar symptoms, but small intestinal damage will also occur in these individuals. Lastly, ataxia is a neurological disease that causes the immune system to target certain parts of the brain as a response to gluten ingestion.
Even if they lack a dietary disorder, many people choose to adopt a diet free of gluten or wheat for a multitude of reasons. Here are some of the main benefits of eating gluten free:
No human can completely digest gluten. In fact, eliminating gluten from your diet often allows you to fill it with other digestible foods. Thus, a gluten-free diet is easier on your digestive system as it quickens the rate at which nutrients pass to your cells.
Gas is often produced in the large intestine when you eat a lot of starchy foods. Finding a replacement for this grain will likely decrease your bloating and gas.
It is no secret that the American diet contains plenty of refined white flour. This flour is a high-glycemic food, which means your body digests it quickly. In turn, this digestion causes a spike in insulin. Too much of this can then lead to a variety of diseases, including type 2 diabetes.
Even though it hasn’t been scientifically proven, many individuals have found that removing gluten from a diet clears blemishes on the skin. Researchers argue that gluten causes inflammation, which is what triggers breakouts and acne on the skin.
When one consumes too many of these simple carbohydrates, such as refined flour, it can negatively affect both HDL and good cholesterol. Plus, increased consumption of simple carbohydrates may raise your LDL or bad cholesterol.
Dining out can become challenging when you stick to a gluten free diet, regardless if it’s for health or personal reasons. Wheat flour, a source of gluten, is a huge part of the American diet.
For example, this type of flour is used to thicken soups, gravies, and various condiments. All sorts of baked goodies from bread and pizza to cakes and cookies contain flour.
It can be difficult to determine if something contains gluten. Many manufacturers derive ingredients from a grain that contains gluten, as it is. A key example of this is malt flavoring or extract.
Here at Tony’s, we understand your frustration when adhering to a gluten free diet. We all want to share a slice of pizza with friends every once in a while or grab a delicious pizza when there’s no time to cook.
Because of this, we offer 2 different types of gluten free crusts. The rice flour-based crust tastes similar to that of a traditional pizza crust. Our cauliflower crust is filled with nutrients for an option that’s even healthier.
It takes commitment to adhere to a gluten free diet. Each of us here at Tony’s want you to confidently choose our food when you go out. Here are a few of our answers to common questions about gluten free pizza to help you out:
For anyone with celiac disease, it’s a real concern that gluten will be unintentionally transferred to your food. The smallest amount of gluten can still lead to a severe reaction.
Tony’s takes these concerns seriously. We realize even the smallest bit of gluten is dangerous for some. So, it is necessary to inform diners that our gluten free pizza is made in the same kitchen as our regular pizza. There is absolutely a risk of cross contamination.
There are a multitude of toppings offered to everyone, regardless of their relationship with gluten. Be sure to ask your server for our gluten free topping options before ordering.
An extra tip: stop by Ava’s Cupcakes for a gluten free dessert if you’re craving something sweet after your meal. Ava’s two locations offer gluten free cupcakes daily.
We know gluten free pizza isn’t for everyone. There are plenty of other options available for those who do enjoy a gluten-filled diet!

Are you looking for a delicious lunch near me? Drop by Tony’s Pizza for subs, salads, pizza, Italian entrees, and daily lunch specials. Better yet, our recipes were passed down through the generations from Calabria, Italy. So, if you choose Italian or pizza, rest assured, it’s authentic! Today, we have six locations in the Charlotte and Hickory area. We’d love to serve you and your family.
New York-Style Pizza
Speaking of authentic, we bring you delicious New York-Style Pizza directly from Brooklyn. In the early 1900s, Gennaro Lombardi developed NY-Style pizza when he opened the first pizzeria in the United States in Lower Manhattan. Since then, many chain restaurants have attempted to replicate this style of thin-crust pizza.
Here at Tony’s, we do things a bit differently than those chains! We use fresh ingredients and traditional recipes to create the perfect pie, based on our family recipes and Brooklyn background. Starting with a thin, hand-tossed crust, our chefs begin the delicious process. Then, we top it with our unique tomato sauce, high-quality cheese, and your choice of other toppings.
Our most popular toppings include traditional fare such as pepperoni and extra cheese. Of course, you’re welcome to choose whatever you like. In addition to choosing your own toppings, we have a few specialty options:
Feel free to dine in or get it to go! Or, we offer delivery through mulitple services, including Doordash, Slice, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. We have multiple locations in Charlotte, Mooresville, Huntersville and Hickory. We also are close to Davidson, Matthews, Pineville, Lake Norman and Conover. If you’re looking to order pizza in Charlotte, Hickory or any of the surrounding areas, we’ve got you covered.
Tony’s Has More Than Just Pizza
Moreover, if pizza isn’t really your favorite meal (how is that possible?!), no worries. Our menu includes lots of other options when you’re craving lunch near me. Here are just a few of our other choices:
Our appetizer menu also includes Italian sausage, garlic knots, garlic bread, toasted ravioli, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, cheesy bread, fried mushrooms, and french fries. Likewise, we have a kids‘ menu that has seven different meal options for $5 and under.
Desserts To Finish Your Delicious Lunch Near Me
Often, our guests crave something sweet at the end of their meal. Try one of our authentic Italian desserts to satisfy your sweet tooth!
First, if you’re a coffee fan, try our tiramisu. First created in Treviso, a small town near Venice in Italy, tiramisu gained popularity in America in the 1980s. With thick layers of mascarpone-based cream and a dusting of cocoa powders on top, it’s perfect if you love a sweet dessert that isn’t too sweet.
Cannoli is another tasty feature on our menu. We fill these fried tubes of pastry with a mixture of sweet cream and ricotta cheese, mixed together with chocolate chips. Then, we sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Coming from Sicily, this dessert is a centuries-old treat. Today, folks around the world enjoy Cannoli with a variety of different fillings and toppings. Although, we think our traditional-style recipe can’t be beat!
Looking for something a little different? Grab a slice of delicious limoncello mascarpone cake. Often served as an after-dinner drink, Limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur popular in southern Italy. True to its name, it has a strong lemon flavor. Our dessert has layers of sponge cake infused with limoncello and Italian mascarpone. To finish it off, we top it with white chocolate curls.
Last but never least, we revisit our deep Brooklyn roots with our authentic New York-style cheesecake. Order a slice for a dense, rich yet slightly tangy and sweet end to your meal here at Tony’s Pizza.
