28 Best Pizza Restaurants near Maiden

“My husband loves the baked spaghetti with meatballs. It also comes with a salad. The online ordering lets you choose to pay with a card online or pay when you pick it up which is nice. My favorite is the calzone. The regular size is big and the large one is huge. Prices are about the same or maybe a bit cheaper than similar restaurants.“

“Nestled unassumingly in a nondescript strip mall, flanked by a vape shop and a Dollar Tree, lies a culinary treasure that defies its lackluster surroundings. This pizzeria, a beacon of authenticity in the Hickory-Conover-Newton area, delivers an unparalleled pizza experience that transports diners straight to the bustling streets of New York City. Despite its unremarkable exterior—where dimly lit parking lots evoke the moody ambiance of Gotham—the moment you step inside, you’re enveloped in a warm, rustic embrace that feels like stumbling upon a well-kept secret. The star of this establishment is, without question, its pizza. Each pie is a masterpiece, crafted with a thin, airy crust that achieves the perfect balance of crisp and chewy. The foundation is adorned with vibrant, house-made mozzarella that melts into creamy pools, complemented by a robust plum tomato sauce bursting with fresh, tangy sweetness. Premium meats and thoughtfully selected ingredients elevate every bite, ensuring a symphony of flavors that linger long after the last slice. While the price reflects the quality—slightly higher than chain alternatives like Little Caesars, Pizza Hut, or Domino’s—it’s a worthy indulgence. For those seeking a taste without committing to a full pie, generously portioned single slices are available, each a meal in itself. Beyond the food, the heart of this pizzeria is its owner, whose warmth and hospitality transform a simple meal into a memorable experience. On my first visit, even as closing time loomed, he greeted me like an old friend, his genuine kindness culminating in a complimentary slice—a gesture that spoke volumes about the establishment’s ethos. This personal touch sets the pizzeria apart, making every patron feel valued and welcomed. Inside, the atmosphere is a delightful contrast to the exterior’s drab facade. The dining area exudes a charming, rustic authenticity, with cream white walls and arches with weathered brick accents that evoke an old-world Italian trattoria. Though the decor feels intentionally unpolished—almost frozen in time—it adds to the place’s soulful character. The true centerpiece, however, is the expansive, immaculate kitchen, visible through an open counter. It hums with purpose, its gleaming surfaces and organized chaos a testament to the care poured into every dish. In a region where culinary options can feel predictable, this pizzeria stands as a revelation. It’s a place where quality reigns supreme, where the flavors of NYC’s finest pizza parlors are recreated with precision, and where the warmth of human connection elevates the experience. For anyone craving an authentic slice of pizza heaven, this hidden gem is a destination worth seeking out.“

“This is one of the best place to eat around the area highly recommend. Some of the best people work here and food is amazing“

“Workers are not the friendliest or happiest, cashier was pretty rude. We marked our food as patio, after waiting forever out back we went inside to find out she put it as to go.
Vegan pizza is amazing though!!!

Vegetarian options: They have a vegan pizza!“

“I give 2.5⭐️ for the pizza. For a place called House Of Pizza, you’d expect their pizza to be their area of expertise. Sadly, however, despite the pizza looking nearly perfect, it barely has flavor. I was very impressed by the look of the pizza, but even more so by the fact that the crust taste like nothing. Literally nothing…and I don’t even know how that’s possible. A slice of white bread has more flavor than this crust. The pizza itself was ok. It was nothing special, but was edible. I’m not sure why an Italian restaurant wouldn’t make their pizza with more Italian flavorings. You couldn’t have brushed the crust with some Italian garlic butter before baking? Or used a more hearty marinara sauce? Maybe use an Italian cheese blend? Italians are known for their bold flavors and this didn’t taste very Italian. For $30 (for 1 med & 1 large), you may as well take a drive out of town to Mellow Mushroom where at least the pizza has some flavor. While the pizza itself may be a solid 2.5 stars out of 5, I give the restaurant a 4 ⭐️ simply for how the pizza looked. That may sound silly, but I’ve had probably hundreds of pizzas in my lifetime and have never seen one that looked like it came straight out of a commercial. I gasped when I opened the box. My photos don’t do it justice as some of the slices shifted on the drive home, but man… that was a pretty looking pizza.“

“Great service, great food! Huge portions too! YUMMY“

“Great variety of food that is always delicious, and generously portioned. Mexican & Italian choices under one roof, is there anything better?! The 4-5 meals I’ve had here have all been great. Friendly staff, the young man at the counter was polite & attentive, really stayed on top of things, which is rare these days. Quintessential small town family restaurant, I hope it’s here for many years to come.“

“Always friendly staff and quick wether pickup or delivery. Any hiccups are handled fast and with a smile.

Vegetarian options: Aside from salads the pizza toppings - onion, banana pepper, jalapeno, spinach, garlic, pineapple, feta cheese, alfredo sauce,“

“We found Mellow Mushroom on a trip it was in Tennessee and we feel in love with their fresh food and great sweet tea and they have friendly service. Can’t wait to go back ♥️🥰“

“New to Newton. We couldn't get food from next door, since they close for a little while before dinner, so we went with Dominoes. SO HAPPY WE DID! The sandwiches were so tasty! Hot, outside bread was crunchy and the toppings were just right! We had the chicken habenero and Philly cheesesteak. Our Delivery Driver, Bianca, was so fast and pleasant! Afterwards I had a free 2 topping pizza offer for the next week, that was a nice surprise.“

“The food was great and staff are friendly.“

“Great food and amazing service. We love everything about Court Street.“

“I've enjoyed Hunt Bros. for over 20 years. The slices are a great after work snack and on a "we just want the whole thing" night, one phone call is all. Our local Marathon ladies make them less than a mile from our house !“

“Thanks Mindy !! You da best !!“

“Food was amazing, but they don't have any lids for the "water cups." Every restaurant is free to play whatever silly games they want to play with their customers who choose not to drink soda, including the "special water cup" game. But when your game ends with my daughter spilling water on herself during dinner, you lose a star.“

“The Lincolnton Domino's is amazing. Food is always fixed perfect, Hot and Quick! Staff is efficient and professional and kind to customers. Lincolnton Domino's is the BEST!“

“Today I had my autistic 9 year olds birthday party. Today we realized how downright mean our supposed friends are when noone showed up. Our hostess, and the whole Chuck E. Cheese crew made it the best birthday ever, you already had a lifetime fan but now we owe you loyalty and respect 🙏🏼💙💖 Thank you to the whole crew for making it a better day 🙏🏼💙“

“Absolutely love the atmosphere and the wonderful staff.Food is absolutely amazing and worth every penny!!!Will definitely be back very soon!!!“

“Whatever this place has done to change the ingredients in the pizza crust - they have made an excellent choice. I used to hate eating this pizza. But in the past year, i have found myself going here more than other pizza places. The prices, the crust, and the buttery garlic sauce are flat out amazing. The service is either exceptional or subpar depending on what day and time you visit. And the only other knock is that occasionally certain items that are supposed to always be “ready all day” - aren’t made which causes an 8-10 minute wait. But that’s not very often. The absolute worst part about this place is the parking lot. There is very little room. And I absolutely loath the speed bump when you’re pulling in and out. Other than that, you should give this location a try.“
