Our Patrons Say Tony’s Is One Of The Best Pizza Places In Charlotte

Anyone can toot their own horn and say they’re the best pizzeria. Past experiences by customers reveal a restaurant’s true value. Here’s what a few say about Tony’s Pizza:

The food is great-love the pizza (can order by the slice), the fried mushrooms are delicious, and great spaghetti meal deal! Definitely chill place and a lot of people get take out. I have eaten here before and plenty of seating. – Ali H.

My husband and I are both Italian and love NY pizza. We had tried Tony’s Pizza in the past, but it had been quite some time ago. Today we chose to dine in with our 4 year old son. The ease of ordering and paying at the counter was convenient. Our pizza came out piping hot and prepared as ordered. The crust was perfect for folding and the sauce had just the right amount of tang. I also appreciate this restaurant offering pizza by the slice. We will return to this pizza place. –  Jenn D. Mint Hill

Great pizza! We had it delivered and ordered the Cheese Pizza with sausage, a white pizza and a turkey sub. Everyone was sooooo good and fresh tasting! This time we chose the “crispy” option on the white pizza and now we will do that for every order. We have never been disappointed in their food or the customer service. Highly recommend! –  Katie M, Charlotte NC

What To Serve After Pizza

Finishing off your meal with a sweet treat makes your meal more memorable. While big chain pizzerias offer dessert, it’s usually offsite baked offerings. Of course, we bake up several delicious end-of-the-meal indulgences in our own kitchens:

Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a rich trifle-style dessert with a bold coffee flavor. As with many Italian recipes, variations abound depending on the area. Common ingredients include mascarpone, ladyfinger biscuits, coffee, sugar, eggs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and liquor, usually Marsala wine.

Most historians think this delightful dish originated in the Veneto region of Italy around the 1960s. Nevertheless, it became an American favorite when Italian restaurants and bakeries began serving it in NY city in the 1980s.

Cannoli

Most historians believe Arabs introduced this pastry to Italy around the 9th century when they occupied Sicily. Then, Italians brought this recipe to America during the immigration waves of the 1900s.

A cannoli is a tubular-shaped fried pastry filled with sweetened ricotta. The combination of the flaky, crunchy outside and rich creamy inside creates one of the most iconic Italian desserts.

Cheesecake

This dessert began with the ancient Greeks around 4000 BC.  When Rome conquered Greece, they adopted and slightly modified the recipe. Later on, immigrants altered their recipes to adapt to locally available ingredients. Thus, the recently invented fresh cream cheese became the main ingredient.

NY-style cheesecake uses cream cheese and sour cream for a sweet but tangy taste. It’s also richer, denser, and creamier than some other versions.

Limoncello Mascarpone Cake

Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact origins of either ingredient or this delicious cake. We do know that sometime during the Middle Ages, locals in the Lombardy region of Italy invented mascarpone. Limoncello, the other ingredient, is a lemony liqueur. In the late 1980s, an entrepreneur registered the trademark and began mass-producing it.

Limoncello mascarpone cake has a soft and tender profile infused with the lemony flavor of the liqueur. It’s topped with a frosting of rich and creamy mascarpone.
