Well Hawkins Grill delivered!! There were plenty of mushrooms so we didn't feel like we were getting short changed and the sauce was very tasty. We liked the crisp, chewiness of the crust as well. We both agreed that next pizza will be from Hawkins Grill to confirm they know pizza! (Wish we would have gotten a photo.) The order was a carry out but from the time we called to the drive to pick up, the service was great and not a long wait at all. We have eaten in before and the atmosphere was easy going and service good. When we ate in, it wasn't super busy but the night we picked up the pizza it was so I'm impressed in their ability to serve as quickly as well a great product when they were so busy. Would recommend and we'll be back! Thank you!!

They kept the pizza bar full of great options, all of which were warm and tasted fresh. I saw staff put out several new pizzas during the maybe 30 minutes I was there. As many have mentioned, the mozzarella sticks (not like fried sticks, more like pieces of extra cheesy cheese pizza with garlic instead of marinara) are unmatched. I couldn't believe how reasonable the price was! Less than $10 for lunch is a rarity these days. The service was great as well. Very friendly. I will be returning soon!

It was a must when we were back in the area to see our daughter played volleyball against SCC in beach volleyball. It was WONDERFUL! A.J. Is always the sweetest and made another great recommendation. I had a fall special, Blushing Pig, and my husband had the Meat Lovers. There is a picture that describes the pizza I had. It was delicious. They have made some changes since our last visit. Loved the pizza boards the pies were brought out on. If you are in the area, this is a comfortable little place with wonderful staff and delicious food. They have great pies for those needing gluten free and/or vegan. My mother loves them. Meat Lovers is red sauce base, sausage, pepperoni, bacon and ham.

I was looking for another pizza spot in the Southern Pines area and decided to give Whispering Pies…read morea try. I ordered a 10" pepperoni and roasted red pepper pizza -- a good size for one person -- but the topping distribution was hit‑or‑miss. A few of the square slices didn't seem to have any roasted red peppers at all. The overall flavor was solid, just not particularly memorable. The crust had a pita‑like taste and texture: decent chew, but missing the standout character or wow factor I was hoping for. I'll probably stop by the restaurant in person next time and try a slice at the counter to see if it hits better fresh.

I've been here many times before and it's always been good. Today was a different story. We were…read morequickly seated. Our waitress came right over took her drink order and then gave us a few minutes to decide on our order. We placed our order and food was brought out fairly quickly. The rolls she brought out had been sitting for a while before coming to our table. They were cold and tough. Everything on the plate had different temperatures. One vegetable was piping hot yet the food not evenly cooked. The other vegetable I got was the roasted potatoes. These on the other hand were lukewarm and did not have a good taste. They almost tasted like dirt. The other person in my party said the same thing about her food being lukewarm as well. I left over half of the food on my plate. The other person I was with dead as well. Our waitress never came back to check on us until after we had finished eating. There was no routine checks to see how the food was if we needed anything or if we needed refills. When she finally did come up, she did bring refills, at that point I just said check, please. Needless to say I paid $30 for two meals and I left hungry. Another important detail. The restaurant was not busy. Other than my table, there were two other tables that had guests. And those other two tables the waiter/waitress was there every few minutes it seemed like. But our waitress was off in the wind for all I know.
