7 Best Italian Restaurants near Surf City

“The food is authentic and fantastic. Mussels Marinara was piled high with tender mussels in a wonderfully spicy marinara sauce with linguini. I can’t recall the name of the special Florentine dish but it was an incredible pasta with roasted sun dried tomatoes and spinach swimming in the richest, creamiest Parmesan sauce I have ever tasted. The taste just soaks into your taste buds so they linger and beg for more. The frozen Limoncello flute was so good and a perfect end to a truly wonderful dinner. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and the entire atmosphere was like sitting down with family. Very affordable especially with what we got. We’ll definitely be going back.“

“Excellent NY-style Pizza! My extended family and I ordered 2 large "classic" style pizzas to-go recently (1 cheese, 1 pepperoni). It was the best NY-style pizza that I have had in NC. The foldable crust was crisp with great chew. The sauce was flavorful and NOT sweet. There was a good amount of cheese. We were born and raised in Manhattan (NYC) and really enjoyed the pizzas from Michaelangelo's - highly recommend! Also, the workers were very nice and friendly.“

“Best pizza outside of Long Island! Staff prompt and friendly. The fried calamari melts in your mouth.“

“The grilled salmon meal was delicious. Some of the best salmon and asparagus I've had!“

“Ordered the best pizza i’ve ever had. A unique option, but got chicken, spinach, banana peppers and alfredo instead of red sauce. So good! Also the eggplant parm was excellent. Fast delivery!“

“We just moved to Sneads Ferry from New York, and knew when we made the move that good pizza might only be reserved to visits back. I found Denoia’s Pizza by accident today and gave it a shot and made my homesick son’s afternoon!!! The staff were super sweet, the pizza was piping hot with a perfectly crunchy crust and it tasted like HOME!!! Thank you for making our Sunday!“

“We ordered the Stromboli to go and it was delicious. Highly recommend for take out!“
