We've also had Tim, who was very attentive, and made great drinks. The ambiance is always wonderful. We usually sit at the outside bar, which we love, but we've sat inside a few times too and enjoyed it just as much. The food is consistently delicious! My mom and I are obsessed with the kale and goat cheese salad, and one of our favorite combinations is splitting that with the Sunday Night Lasagna. Sharing a salad and an entrée is the perfect amount of food for us. On our recent visit, my mom ordered the Pig Pizza, one of her go-to dishes, while I tried the braised short rib lumache. Both were delicious! Def one of my favorite places in Birkdale!

We were greeted and once we were called and seated, we were immediately greeted by our waitress Amber. She provided suggestions, explaining what was popular, and very detailed with what we wanted, even the drinks were great! She was the best waitress I've ever had! We had to wait a little while for our food, but we didn't mind because we were enjoying each other and the ambience. Once we received our entree's, we began eating and it was great, I didn't know mines would be spicy, but other than that it was amazing! The dessert was great, I had the tiramisu with espresso bites, definitely worth going back to get! Overall, everything was great! I would definitely recommend and ask for Amber!!!

I stopped in randomly because it was lunch but I also wanted a beer. I'm so glad I did, my pizza…read moreand garlic knots were properly incredible. The pizza has just the right crust I like, a little chewy but not so much that it ruins the pizza. It was cooked perfectly, and tasted amazing. The garlic knots were even better, they provided plenty of sauce which is always a gripe of mine as I love to use the sauce liberally. We also got a gluten free pizza which is great that they have available. It wasn't as amazing as the regular as GF basically never is, but it was also quite good and we were glad it was available since we have a celiac who can't enjoy standard pizza.

Veni Vidi Vici…read more Corner Crust in Cornelius absolutely conquered our pizza night. If you're near Lake Norman, Corner Crust in Cornelius, NC is the real deal. This spot is putting out seriously great New York-style pizza and wings.We even caught the owner -- one serious pizza aficionado. He's actually a New Yorker (well, Long Island, but close enough), which explains a lot about the authentic pies coming out of the kitchen. We tried the Hawaiian pizza and it was incredible. The sweet juicy pineapple paired perfectly with salty ham, crispy bacon, and gooey cheese on their excellent crust. We added spicy large jalapeños on top, and they delivered a solid, fresh heat that elevated the whole pie -- the sweetness, smokiness from the bacon, and spices heat played off each other beautifully. Every bite was a flavor explosion. The wings were just as outstanding. Super crispy on the outside with that perfect clean snap when you bite in, releasing tender, juicy meat inside. Packed with flavor and cooked exactly right. Easily some of the best wings in the Lake Norman area, yeah I went there........The owner told me his secret recipe and technique, but I have been sworn to secrecy..... I can say that he buys his wings free range, no steroids and you can tell the difference in every bite. Coming in on the high side at $1.80is per wing, but I ask you this - how much would you pay for perfection? Local craft beer, yes please. You can use the Untapped App to check out his selection of the finest local craft beers on tap. Great portions, giant slices, laid-back vibe, and friendly service rounded out a fantastic meal. Whether you're going classic or adventurous with the Hawaiian (highly recommend adding bacon and jalapeños), Corner Crust delivers. We'll definitely be back soon!

Food Truck Village…read more I hit the back button and it did that thing where it deleted whatever it wanted and it was going to be Trick Village. Would that have driven more or less business? As it stands right now, Food Truck Village is a cool place. It has the potential to be a future tourist destination. Take out the car wash and add a Central Focus--an oversized ice cream truck with universal music. Rework the parking and build walkways through the village and you have yourself a tourist destination. Make sure there are separate paths to each food truck so one truck doesn't get all the first foot traffic. Add a colorful sign with a simple map. All food trucks would benefit immensely. For Mike's Pizza, very good pizza and the owner is friendly. It always feels good to support privately-owned shops. The six-slice pizza is $14 before tax and it takes a while but it's fresh and worth the wait. Definitely recommended. I didn't know where to park since there are no lines and my son (also shown in the pictures) told me I couldn't just park anywhere. Nobody else there so no big deal. You can do the same, but I don't recommend parking in the car wash or in the tent. We shall return to Food Truck Village! Perhaps they can add one more truck for now: Big Truck from Coal Chamber.

Yesssssss this pizza is legit! The ingredients are high quality across the board, and what really…read morestood out to me was the crust. It's crispy, charred, and chewy - that's like the trinity of pizza crust in my opinion. 5 stars hands down, I can't believe I haven't ordered here before. I got the sausage pizza and added mushrooms - super solid order if you're looking for inspiration. Both the sausage and mushrooms tasted fresh, and I love the style of sausage they're using. Sometimes it's hit or miss on sausage and this one is a complete hit. Give this truck your business, if we're lucky enough it'll turn into a permanent pizza storefront here in Cornelius someday. We need it!

Their grilled Caesar salad is large enough to share, with deliciously charred romaine and homemade dressing. We also love sharing the arancini when we are not in the mood for a salad. For entrees, you can't go wrong with their pizza. It's one of our top favorites in the CLT area, as it's cooked in a wood-fired oven, and is both crispy and full of toppings. My husband particularly enjoys the Capricciosa, with artichokes, ham, mushroom, basil, and fresh mozzarella. Their calzones are really good, too. I usually get their lasagna, which is served in a bowl and is made to order. Their bolognese has a complex flavor, and the sauce-to-cheese quotient is just perfect. I always have some leftover to take home. If you have room for dessert, I highly recommend the deconstructed cannoli. It's homemade, and divine. Their gelato is well thought-out, served with a side of espresso to soften the ice cream and add a unique flavor. Presentation is carefully and well-thought out. Service is always good as well, no matter what time of day you visit (we prefer early dinners). We love this place, and will keep it on our "short list" for nearby dining!

Novanta 90 Pizzeria Napoletana is located in the Langtree Shopping Center in Mooresville, NC. The…read moreshopping center offers free parking, but I walked over there from the hotel where I was staying. I was warmly greeted when I entered the restaurant. I was seated facing the kitchen in a booth. I just loved the decor with the bricks, open kitchen, and warehouse ceiling. The wood, beams and bricks were reclaimed materials from Manhattan, adds old world charm. The Easter decorations were a nice touch. My amazing waitress created me a mocktail with ginger beer and cranberry. It was colorful and wonderful. It had some tang to it. The Italian restaurant has Neopolitan pizzas and Italian dishes. It was so hard deciding what to select from the menu. If I hadn't just had shrimp, the shrimp scampi would have been what I ordered. Then there was a lasagna with a bechamel sauce I really wanted. But the pizza won out. My waitress talked me into the salad I was debating, too. The salad was Dolce Crostata. It has mixed lettuce, goat cheese, pancetta, candied pecans and golden raisins. I like the salads with fruit, and this one was wonderful. Novanta means 90 in Italian, which is the 90 seconds it takes to cook the pizza. It goes into the 900-degree Italian wood-fired oven. The pizza was a true Neapolitan with the soft, airy crust and a little bit of char on it. It tasted as good as it looked. I wanted a second pizza after my first slice, but I had trouble finishing the first and had to take half of the salad to go. I did love every bite of the margherita pizza and salad. If I lived closer, I'd eat here weekly as the food is that good. This is a hidden gem.

It is NOT close to our house but when we want pizza, this is our "go to" place. We started with one of their appetizers, Mayweather's Meatballs. There were three in the order, and they are delicious. Now, I do love meatballs so I'm biased but these are good. There are a number of Italian restaurants in the Charlotte atea that could use meatballs this good on their spaghetti! We also ordered three pizzas; the Babe Ruth Meat Lovers pizza, the Buffalo Bill Chicken pizza, and the White Out pizza. We sat in the bar and the bartender offered great options on how to enhance our pizzas. He suggested adding onions and banana peppers to the Babe Ruth Meat Lovers. It was awesome! He recommended adding chicken and mushrooms to the White Out Pizza. Again, awesome. My son ordered the Buffalo Bill Chicken pizza and ate the whole thing in the restaurant....no leftovers. This restaurant is good for families, adult groups, or couples looking for a quiet night out and good food. There are TV's in the bar offering sports but there are no loud speakers. The background noise is minimal....you can talk to the folks at your table. Will definietly go back.
