Restaurants in Newton

“Wow! I just moved here and I am so grateful someone recommended you to me. YUMMMMM!!!! The food was excellent, the service was stellar and the atmosphere was cozy and quaint - LOVED IT ALL!”

“Excelente, volveremos, éxitos parceros!”

“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.”

“Great place to go and relax, listen to the music great atmosphere great people, bartenders and drinks. Awesome place to hang out.”

“Great food and great service!”

“You know a restaurant is authentic when its menu is small. This restaurant hands down is legit. I ordered a gordita de asada (steak), tamal de puerco, and agua fresca de pepino y limon (cucumber and lime water). It did not disappoint. It offers three different salsas for your liking from mild to spicy. Do yourself a favor and give them a try!”

“I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD, This is probably hands down one of the best I’ve had! You can taste the freshness in the salsa!! Amazing!! Bringing my family next time!!”

“Awesome place to eat, I am part of their delivery personal, they have ALWAYS treated me with the upmost respect and they are a down home country kitchen that's for sure, and their honey bun cake is absolutely amazing if you aint been there to get a piece your missing out, it hands down by far the best dessert ive ever eatten”

“Best bbq, hush puppies and tartar sauce!”

“It was my first visit to this establishment. There was a $5 fee to join as it is a club. I was by myself and the barkeep made sure I was included with the group already there. Everybody was welcoming and I felt comfortable being there alone. I'm looking forward to my next visit.”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“I came to hickory from statesville to try out the food. It was SO worth it. As a native New Yorker, I was so excited to have some food diversity. It was delicious and made fresh (hence some wait).”

“I remember the first time I came to your bakery with some of my friends we had my dog and I stood outside while they went to get our treats and I remember someone from your staff coming and being so sweet and letting me know you sold dog treats there too! That was so sweet and I loved the extra care in making sure everyone got a treat. The desserts are absolutely beautiful and amazing. I have seen some really beautiful custom cakes that they have made for customers. I would recommend Carpe Crustum Bakery for any of your sweet treat needs.”

“I purchase the sandwich loaves at a local produce stand and is the best sourdough sandwich bread I've ever had!”

“I love bringing my little girl here they are very nice to customers and my little loves this place always saying mommy can we go to Scoops and Smiles 😀”

“The food was great and staff are friendly.”

“All of the food was very delicious! This was our first time here, and we'll definitely be back. We really liked all the fresh ingredients. The employees were very nice and welcoming.”

“Was really wanting fried chicken for dinner. So we decided to just pick some up before we came home. We decided to give Krispy Krunchy a try since we'd never been.
Gotta say, it is GOOD!!
Its Cajun Style, but NOT overly spicy. Just enough kick to give it an excellent flavor! And it is definitely CRUNCHY!! I'd say it's the best we've had in a LONG time!!
And the young lady working was super helpful. Very friendly, and NICE.
We got good service and great food! We recommend it, and will definitely go back!!”

“Lots of variety, excellent service staff, shrimp sauce is a little runnier than I normally like it, but still tastes great. The chicken egg rolls are actually made there in the restaurant, and you can tell. Portion sizes are good, especially for the price.”

“Super delicious, I travel almost 2 hours to buy that delicious bread from that bakery.
It has such a fresh natural flavor, the fermentation that the bread has is Perfect.”

“We just went here tonight the food was very good and the owner is very nice I see a lot of negative reviews but my experience was good thus is by far the best in Newton.”

“Awesome food and atmosphere!!!!”

“Great food, amazing service!”

“Went there for the first time yesterday and I will definitely be going back. Even though they were extremely busy, they still maintained good customer service. Food was very good too!!”
