What Makes Tony’s Pizza the Best Restaurant in Town

Next, you probably want to know why we think we’re the perfect choice for authentic Italian nearby. Instead of tooting our own horn, we’re going to leave it to our customers! They’re great at showing us the love in their 5-star reviews.

“I ordered takeout from Tony’s on my very first visit and my experience was excellent. I was greeted immediately upon entering. As I took in all of the menu items and considered what to order, I noticed a genuine exchange between employees and customers as they were leaving. One customer gave them a compliment, saying that he was from New York and as far as pizza goes, they were able to compete with what he was used to from there. Wow.

What brought me in was a craving for garlic knots so I decided to get the garlic cheese bread. And despite feeling drawn toward a pizza at first, I settled on an eggplant parm sub since the employee taking my order claimed that it was very good. He seemed trustworthy. At the last minute, I threw in a cannoli because it’s my boyfriend’s favorite dessert.

I don’t have too many thoughts on the restaurant environment itself aside from there being a large dining room with plenty of tables. Nothing fancy but…

You don’t need fancy when the food is this good! The eggplant parm sub was excellent and I am very picky about my eggplant parm. It wasn’t overly breaded or fried. This will be without a doubt my go-to spot for this sandwich. I decided to order the large and I’m glad I did. Half was enough for one meal and I happily embrace leftovers.

The garlic cheese bread was 10/10 and as for the cannoli, it did not disappoint. It was one of the best cannolis we have ever had.” – Kat M.

Since we are local and locally owned, we strive to provide the freshest ingredients possible. Thus, we order from local vendors whenever possible so that we can provide the best meal in town.

Probably, you noticed this is one of our tasty desserts that pair well with lasagna. However, many of our customers had yet to meet this tasty Italian dessert until they met us!

Limoncello is a lemon liqueur made from lemon zest. Generally, it hails from Southern Italy and many Italians drink it chilled. Mascarpone, is a sort of soft cream cheese made with heavy cream instead of whole milk (like cream cheese).

Making a limoncello mascarpone cake is complex, 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.

Amazing! Enjoyed everything about this place. Plenty of seating as you walk in. Order at the counter just like New York Style 😉… we ordered our usual half cheese half pepperoni 🍕 and it’s every bit New York style. The sauce is yummy! The crust is perfect. We are totally going back!” – Marcio G.

While in NC a few weeks ago, we decided to order pizza, not from the commercialized places we’re all very familiar with. We ordered take-out. It was ready when promised, piping hot when we got home, and delicious. The garlic rolls were also very good. There were ZERO left overs.” – Jennifer L.

What is the Most Popular Italian Food?

First, check out our list of Italian favorites and some of the most popular Italian food that Americans eat.

1. Lasagna

This tender and wavy pasta has a tasty Italian history along with a warm spot in American’s hearts. First found in the Naples area, different versions spread throughout Italy. Typically, since it took so long to make (and the expense of meat), cooks reserved it for special occasions. Luckily, once this Italian delight hit America, the dish was easier and less expensive to create.

Nowadays, our team at Tony’s uses Italian family recipes handed down through generations to make our hearty lasagna and bake it to cheesy goodness.

2. Ravioli

Surprisingly, this Italian dinner did not originally contain tomatoes. Traditionally, broth was the base because tomatoes weren’t around in the 1500s. From there, the recipes evolved into the delightful ravioli that we serve to our fellow Hickory and Charlotte residents. In fact, we took it a step further. In addition to serving an Italian ravioli baked with a zesty tomato sauce and cheese, we also serve it fried as an appetizer.

3. Parmigiana

Likewise, another small surprise about Italian food. Parmigiana didn’t originally come from Italy! Who knew? Actually, it derives from Asia and was a dish of layered veggies (often eggplant). Now, we serve the version that it evolved to today which includes tomatoes, cheeses and decadent happiness.

Choose from eggplant and chicken parmigiana as Italian entrees. Or, try one of our meatball, chicken or sausage parmigiana subs.

4. Italian Subs

Speaking of subs, our list of favorite Italian food would be lacking without adding an American lunch and dinner favorite – the Italian sub. While many diners are very particular on what they consider a true Italian sub, we’ll stay out of that debate.

Fortuitously, we DO know how to make one of the best subs around and it starts with finding a bread that won’t get soggy. From there, we consider the fillings. Typically, cured meats, cheeses and a few veggies topped with oil and vinegar are the fillings in this masterpiece. At Tony’s, we start our Italian sub sandwiches with a comforting loaf of Italian bread (8 or 12 inches). Next, we layer ham, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, and banana peppers inside our loaves. Finally, we spread on mayonnaise and drizzle oil and vinegar atop this tasty sandwich.

5. Baked Ziti

Okay, at this point, you may not feel surprise to find out…baked ziti isn’t the same as it used to be! Notably, some versions contained scrambled eggs. You read that right, scrambled eggs! Now, if you’re looking for that variation, you won’t find it at Tony’s. However, we’re sure it’s likely delicious too. Fortunately, you can find the now Italian-American version with layers of fresh pasta, sauce and loads of cheese!

6. NY-Style Pizza

We know, NY-style pizza isn’t completely and authentically Italian either. Although, it definitely originates from Italy in a round about way. Italian immigrants opened the first pizzeria in Manhattan in the early 1900s and NY-style pizza as we know it came to be. Our owners actually lived in Brooklyn and brought their tasty pizza down to North Carolina in the 80s. If you haven’t tried it yet, drop by and grab a slice.

I normally don’t give 5 stars because there is always room for improvement but this place has done its job. I’m happiest because when I ask for onions, peppers and mushrooms on my pizza they’re not precooked. Most places out here give you grilled veggies on your pizza. So thank you for standing out. Also, it’s really nice to have someone come out and ask “How’s everything?” Even in NY you don’t get this courtesy. It takes me 25 Minutes to get here. There is a pizza joint 8 minutes from my home , thank you but I’d rather take the 25 minutes drive. See you next week. 😊 – Evelyn B.

Favorite Italian Dishes at Tony’s Pizza in Charlotte

We dish out some of the tastiest Italian food Charlotte NC has. Here are some of our favorites with a little background on each (in case you were wondering).

1. Ravioli

History traces this dish in Italy at least back to the 1500s. Since tomatoes weren’t around in that area yet, they cooked and served ravioli in a broth. Once tomatoes hit the scene around the 1800s, cooks slowly integrated them into recipes.

Mid 20th century, toasted ravioli appeared. Who first created it, and where, is still up for debate. However, one thing that isn’t up for debate – it’s simply delightful. At Tony’s Pizza, we serve baked ravioli as an entree and toasted ravioli as an appetizer.

2. Lasagna

Lasagna has a history as long as its wavy noodles.  Originating around the Naples area, it spread throughout the region developing different versions. Generally, this meal suited special occasions best since it took so long to prepare from scratch and due to the expense of meat.

Once this tasty tidbit hit America, the process and expense changed. Meat cost less and dried pasta made it easier to create. And again, tomatoes enhanced this dish as well to make it more familiar to what we eat here today. Our team uses family recipes to create our baked cheesy delights.

3. Baked Ziti

Speaking of baked and cheesy, ziti is another popular Italian dish that we serve at Tony’s. Surprisingly, the Italian version sometimes contains a variety of ingredients including scrambled eggs. We keep ours simple yet satisfying with layers of pasta, freshly made tomato sauce and, of course, lots of cheese!

4. Parmigiana

Although many folks think Italian when parmigiana comes to mind, it actually hails from Asia. Originally (and likely due to cost and accessibility), parmigiana used layered veggies. Typically, the main ingredient was eggplant. However, some sources indicate it was zucchini. This dish made it to Italy around the 15th century and evolved more into the dish we eat in the U.S. today.

We offer eggplant and chicken parmigiana as entrees or a sub (we also have meatball and sausage parmigiana subs).

5. Pizza

Of course, it’s hard to think of Italian food without pizza coming to mind. According to some sources, an Italian immigrant opened the first pizzeria in Manhattan around 1905. Since then, the style, crust and even toppings have proliferated across America. At Tony’s Pizza, we serve the iconic NY-style pizza with a magically crisp yet chewy crust. If you’ve never tried it, today is the day!

How Italian Food Made it to the US (and Charlotte!)

In case you were wondering how some of the best Italian food in Charlotte got here all the way from Italy, we’ve put together a little background. It all began in New York City in the late 1800s. Between then and the early 1900s, over 4 million immigrants arrived bringing their culture and robust, delicious family recipes. Unfortunately, the ingredients for these recipes weren’t always readily available. Thus, new dishes evolved with accessible ingredients.

Initially, only the Italian community indulged in these recipes. However, returning soldiers from WWII brought their fondness of pasta back home with them. Shortly thereafter, Italian immigrants opened restaurants to meet growing desire for their pasta and other delights.

Brothers Tony, Vinny and Mario grew up in New York (specifically Brooklyn) enjoying their own family’s recipes that trace all the way to Calabria, Italy. Eventually, they opened a NY-style pizza restaurant upstate then brought it and those delicious recipes to NC. The rest is tasty history!

What are Some Other Foods Famous in NC?

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.

1. Hardee’s

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.

2. Bojangles

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.

3. Cook Out

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!

4. Krispy Kreme

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.

Tasty Pasta History

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!

Reviews of Tony’s Pizza

Now, to the bragging part about why we think we have some of the best food Hickory NC has to offer. We love that our customers love us. Here are some of their kind words.

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

Must-Haves For A Great Pizza Place

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:

1. Fantastic Customer Reviews

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

2. Multiple Menu Options

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.

3. Fabulous Food at Affordable Prices

6 Qualities for the Best 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.

1. Freshest Ingredients

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.

2. Perfect Pizza Crust

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:

  • Texture
  • Thickness
  • Flavor

Hand tossing it a bit doesn’t hurt either. Another art we’ve perfected at Tony’s Pizza!

3. Savory Sauce

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.

4. Tasty Toppings

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.

5. Perfectly Cooked

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.

6. Delicious

In the end, when you combine these qualities, you get a pizza that tastes delicious!
