When your stomach is growling and telling you to find fast food near me, it’s best to listen and obey! In fact, we can help solve your problem without having to drop by McDonalds, Burger King or the like. Not that they’re bad, sometimes that’s exactly what we need on occasion. However, we offer quick food that is sometimes a bit healthier and tantalizes the taste buds too.
Don’t worry, we know you’re hungry so we won’t dwell on the history of how quick and convenient restaurants came to be. However, we did find it a bit interesting when we did our research for this blog. If you can’t wait to eat and need food now, just scroll down to our delicious menu options or click the Start Takeout Order button now.
Otherwise, here are a few fast food fun facts (say that 5 times fast!).
Nowadays, the fast-food market is crowded with many options such as Taco Bell, Subway, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Unfortunately, many of these chains focus more on quick than quality. Moreover, recent nutritional studies indicate this sort of food contains high levels of salt, sugar, and preservatives.
Therefore, it may be wise to chose something a little different than what you imagine when your stomach is grumbling that you need to find fast food near me pronto. A slice of pizza from Tony’s is a great option. Generally, we can make it fast and it has some of those food groups that your body needs as well!
Wondering why pizza is such a great choice for a quick lunch or dinner? Here are a few reasons to pick it.
It’s Delicious and Easy to Eat on the Go
Tony’s Pizza offers NY-style pizza which has a crispy, yet foldable crust. Plus, we use the freshest ingredients possible and hand toss our crust so you’re getting quality and delicious quick food.
Pizza is Customizable
Most fast food chains offer a cookie-cutter solution to eating quickly. Conversely, with pizza, you choose your own toppings which means you can have a different and personalized pie or slice nearly every time you dine with us.
Lots of Sizes for All Appetites
Since you may want more or less on varying days, we have lots of options with sizes ranging from pizza by the slice to a huge 24-inch pie. Better yet, if you go large, you’ll have leftovers for the next time you need food in a rush.
Pizza is Affordable
When you’re eating with a crowd or family, it can get pricey. However, splitting a pizza saves a little dough on the dough! Likewise, we have daily specials to help you save even more money.
Customers Love Our Food
In the end, what our loyal customers have to say about our food is our best reflection. Below, check out some of our rave reviews.

After spending the day with your family in downtown Charlotte, you’re very hungry. While the city offers many fine dining experiences, you’re looking for a less expensive family-style restaurant. Luckily, just outside the downtown area lies several Galleria Mall restaurants. One of these, Tony’s Pizza, serves delicious NY style pizza and tasty authentic Italian dishes.
Like many urban and surrounding regions, you’ll find many typical fast-food restaurants located in the nearby downtown area. Wendy’s, Chick-fil-A, and McDonalds all have several locations near the Galleria Mall. Usually, many kids love the fast-food dining experience that offers toys with their meals.
However, today you want something other than a hamburger or chicken nuggets. Yet, you also need menu items your kids will eat too. Luckily, you’ll find a restaurant very close by offering some of their favorite meals, pizza and spaghetti. Notably, Tony’s Pizza has an extensive menu that’s sure to please everyone in your family.
Our kids menu includes a generous slice of our delicious pizza, cheese or pepperoni. We also offer 2 kid-sized subs, meatball or ham and cheese, served with french fries.

Our owners, Vinny, Tony, and Mario, grew up in Brooklyn, NY in a large Italian family. From an early age, they were in the kitchen learning how to cook their favorite family dishes. In 1981, they left New York for North Carolina to open a pizzeria in Jacksonville and Havelock. Over the years they’ve expanded their reach and Tony’s menu offerings. Today, Tony’s Pizza has 6 Italian restaurants offering many Italian dishes:
Tony’s Pizza serves America’s favorite style, NY style. It has a thin, foldable, crispy crust, topped with tomato sauce and low-moisture mozzarella. Plus, you can choose from over 30 different toppings to personalize your pizza or choose one of our specialty pies.
We offer a variety of authentic dishes including parmigiana, lasagna, spaghetti, ravioli, and baked ziti. Our chefs make our dishes fresh daily with garden fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
A truly delicious sub requires certain techniques most people can’t replicate at home. We start with the best bread and top it with either hot or cold ingredients. You can order our subs in either the 8 or 12-inch size.
An Italian creation, originally calzones were a type of “pizza on the go”. Chefs simply folded normal pizzas in half so you could eat while walking. You’ll recognize a calzone by its half-moon shape and sauce on the side for dipping.
Whereas the stromboli is an American invention by an Italian-American named Nazzareno Romano. A stromboli is rectangular or roll-shaped with the sauce baked inside with the cheese and toppings.
When you want a nutritional meal packed with minerals and vitamins, choose one of our freshly made salads. We offer 4 different salads, garden, Greek, chef, and Caesar, as a meal or a side. Moreover, just like our pizza, you can customize each with our available toppings.
Our menu has plenty of appetizer choices to start your meal or serve as a side dish:

Keep in mind that we sell pizza by the slice, not just full pies. So, you and your roommates, friends, or coworkers can all pick something different from the menu. We can also do half and half when it comes to toppings. You don’t have to all agree on the same pizza.
Keeping up with your studying and homework is super important. However, there does become a point when it is difficult to concentrate or retain new information. UNCC has tips on managing your time, as it can make you more productive overall. It’s important that you take the right kind of breaks, though. It doesn’t really help to scroll social media mindlessly. Instead, turn off your screens and get away from your desk for a bit. One option is of course to get together with your friends at one of the nearby restaurants you love, such as Tony’s Pizza. Here are a few other great study break options:
Some studies also suggest that changing your environment can help if you really need to crack down and get studying done. Instead of sitting in your room, bring your books to Tony’s Pizza. Order a few slices to enjoy while you hit the books. The change of scenery can help you feel more motivated to learn.

Mooresville is a beautiful area surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills. Over six million people visit the area and lake each year for swimming, boating, and fishing. After enjoying the day, you’ll need a place to grab a bite to eat. Tony’s Pizza is among one of the favorite Mooresville NC restaurants enjoyed by visitors and residents.
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:
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:
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.
Ultimately, reviews reveal a lot about the service, food, and staff at a restaurant. At Tony’s Pizza, we’re proud of the reviews we receive from our customers:
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.
We ordered a large pizza, Philly cheesesteak and fries. Everything was delicious! Will be visiting again soon. A hidden spot that we would have never found had I not Googled for good pizza restaurants. – Deirdre C.

With all the activities in the area, of course, you’ll find plenty of Mooresville NC restaurants. Yet, not all restaurants offer the same level of service, pricing, and deliciousness. Of course, we think Tony’s Pizza is the best. Below, we answer a few questions about Mooresville NC and our Italian restaurants.
Beginning in 1904, Duke Power began to dam the Catawba River to provide electricity to the surrounding communities. The last of these, the Cowans Ford Dam, created Lake Norman. As the dam blocked the waters of the Catawba River, waters rose to cover existing buildings. These include the Long Island and East Monbo Mills and the surrounding village.
In the Lake Norman area, we have 2 restaurants:
These 2 locations are easily accessible to the nearby towns of Lake Norman, Davidson, Cornelius, Troutman, Charlotte, Westport, and Kannapolis.
Of course! Although some Mooresville NC restaurants make you leave your home to eat their food, we never do. You can either call your nearest location or order from our website. We’ve partnered with delivery services such as DoorDash to transport food from our door to yours.

About 18 miles north of Charlotte, lies picturesque Lake Norman. Bordering 4 counties, Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg, it’s accessible to many nearby towns. Visitors to the lake can engage in plenty of water activities like fishing, swimming, and boating. Afterward, hungry tourists can visit one of the many Lake Norman restaurants.
Lake Norman offers plenty of restaurants including some in the neighboring towns. Huntersville, Cornelius, Troutman, and Mooresville are just minutes away. Here you’ll find Chinese, Thai, Mexican, Italian, or American dishes served fast, bistro, casual, or gourmet style.
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?
Tony’s Pizza offers family friendly dining with several locations throughout the Charlotte area. In Lake Norman, we have 2 nearby locations:
Young children can be especially picky about the foods they eat. That’s why we offer a kids’ menu with favorites like pizza, spaghetti, ravioli, subs, or chicken tenders. What’s more, we price all our kids’ menu items at $5 or less.
Yet, sitting in a restaurant can be just too much for young children, especially after an all-day excursion. For those days, you can have a delicious Tony’s Pizza meal delivered to your doorstep. For your convenience, we’ve partnered with delivery services such as DoorDash to bring dinner to you.
Additionally, you can choose our take-out option. Both allow your family a chance to enjoy a special meal, but suited to your needs.
As our name suggests, we specialize in NY style pizza. Our owners, brothers Tony, Vinny, and Mario, learned the secrets of great pizza making at an early age. Their ancestors came to America from Calabria, Italy, and settled in Brooklyn, NY. Several decades ago, the brothers relocated to North Carolina, bringing their family recipes with them.
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.
Named after our hometown, we pile on the pepperoni, bacon, ham, sausage, and beef for a delicious meat lovers pie.
When you crave a tangy flavor, try this pizza pie. It features spicy Buffalo chicken atop cheese and our signature crust.
For this pie, we skip the tomato sauce. Instead, we heap on dollops of ricotta, mozzarella, and garlic.
Having a hard time choosing? Try this pizza pie with pepperoni, Canadian bacon, sausage, beef, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, and black olives. It’s the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
In addition to NY style pizza, we also serve several authentic Italian dishes. These include your favorites like meat lasagna, spaghetti with fresh tomato sauce, ravioli, baked ziti, and chicken and eggplant parmigiana. Our menu options also include strombolis, calzones, subs, and salads.
Plus, we also have over 2 dozen tantalizing appetizers like wings, garlic knots, and meatballs. Finally, to end your meal, pick one of our delicious desserts. We offer tiramisu, cannoli, cheesecake, and limoncello mascarpone cake.
Of course, we think choosing from the many Lake Norman restaurants is easy. Just stop by Tony’s Pizza and let us give you some Italian hospitality. Below, we answer a few questions about Lake Norman and our eatery.
Lake Norman is the largest artificial lake in North Carolina. The predecessor of Duke Energy created the lake in 1963 by damming up the Catawba River. Underneath the sparkling waters lies Mill Village along with the East Monbo and Long Island cotton mills.
