Piccolo's Italian Restaurant 915 West Avenue Northwest, Lenoir, NC 28645

"My son loves this place. He goes on his Birthday every year. He goes throughout the months as well, the owner recognizes him when he comes in lol. The pwner is very nice and welcoming. Their pizza is the best I've had. never had any issues with ordering or the food not tasting good or anything. I live in Wilkes which is about 30 minutes or so away, but well worth the drive. Would definitely recommend them and have recommended them to others for the best pizza."

"As soon as you walk through the doors you’re made to feel like a friend of the family! The owner is makes you feel like you’re his favorite customer and the atmosphere is fun and quirky. As someone who was visiting from out of town, I’m so glad I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant and hope to come back again! The pizza is phenomenal. We ordered the deep dish Chicago style pizza and it’s one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had—cheesy, a savory sauce, the perfectly thin crust. Amazing!"

"We have been here a few times and always had a great experience until today. The sauce was off, the cheese wasn’t there like it usually is for a deep dish pizza. We took our daughter here cause she’s home from college over the holiday and wanted her to have a good experience with usually yummy food. We didn’t even finish the pizza and threw out most of it out which we’ve never done before."

"I am in love! The Chicago deep dish pizza is amazing! Plus the Elephant ears for dessert! This is my new favorite pizza place! The owner was so inviting and friendly! The staff so nice! I will be back with more friends! A must go for all!"

"If you're looking for a great Chicago style pizza with a unique and vintage environment then look no further than Piccolo's. It took some time to get the food but the wait was well worth it. We watched it as they spun the dough for the pizza right in front of us. The spaghetti was absolutely delicious, the pizza was so fresh with the best ingredients. Throughout the restaurant there was all types of memorabilia from times past from Coke Pepsi gas stations and the like. It was such a fun place to walk around and take the trip down memory lane at the treasures from the past. We were able to speak to the owner who told us "everything is for sale". Don't dare order blue cheese dressing with your salad or you'll quickly be reminded of what style restaurant you are in. The owner came out and had a lovely conversation with us getting to know us. I'm a collector of coke machines and he was trying to buy mine which I got a kick out of. We each had something the other wanted as far as memorabilia goes. He was just a lot of fun and made our experience even better as we felt like VIPs. I cannot say enough about how delicious the food was and how huge the pizza turned out to be. We took enough home for two more meals. This is a definite do over every time we coming to town, this will be on the top of our "must dine at"list"
