Review of Nonna's Restaurant, Lillington

     In Lillington, there are not many restaurants to choose from.  So, when a good one comes along, you had better believe that people notice.  Nonna's Restaurant may have its flaws, but their pizza is definitely the best in Harnett County.  While we have been to Nonna's many times, we tend to order the same things.  Once you make a find, rarely do you need to change it.

     We start off every meal with the Cheesy Garlic Bread.  The picture is of a large order.  Calling a spade, a spade, the bread is a just a fresh sub roll that is split open.  Then it is topped with minced fresh garlic and butter.  It is then topped with the most amazing mozzarella cheese.  Now, I know it is not fresh mozzarella, but this cheese is magical.  Really, the cheese makes this dish.  The bread is then lightly toasted and served with marinara sauce.  The sauce is a thicker tomato sauce, which definitely fits my preference.


     Our main dish is pizza.  The dough is made fresh on site.  The marinara sauce is used on the pizza and then it is covered with the mozzarella cheese.  We tend to order extra cheese on our pizza since it really is a great cheese that they use at Nonna's.  Our other toppings are always pepperoni and black olives.  The pepperoni is great.  Large, thin slices of pepperoni dot the pizza and are then topped with cheese.  The pizza is perfectly browned.  It really is the best pizza in the county.

     While we have tried the pasta dishes and been largely unimpressed, the pizza is spectacular.  I would continue to eat the cheesy garlic bread and pizza every day of the week.    The service can be a little slow occasionally, but the pizza is worth the wait.  Nonna's will be our pizza staple for as long as we still live in Harnett County.
