Tusconi’s Pizza

They have gone out of business. Didn’t figure they would make it. Terrible location and food was below average.

I had a «Grinder» and it was pretty much a pizza on bread. The red sauce has a decent flavor. The sausage was grey and not browned at all. My husband had a Philly and asked what came on it, the cook said «French onions» and sauteed peppers. It had the onions which tasted like they were soaked in French onion soup. I suppose that is what they meant by calling it «French onions», but there were no peppers at all. BUT there were rubbery mushrooms. My husband hates mushrooms. We specifically asked what came on the sandwiches before ordering. Mushrooms were not listed. When we mentioned the mushrooms we were told by the owner that maybe we should have asked, and someone would have told us, thing is, we did ask. He proceeded to tell us he holds the title for «World’s Best Cheesesteak». Please. The inside décor is pretty shabby. Like outside furniture. I definitely do not recommend at all.

Nice guy, but my pizza was a mess under cooked, over cooked, over priced, and while the owner makes claims he is a master chief. I would call this pizza a master of none. I won’t return, and won’t recommend.

The food here is worth four stars. The dining room is like someone’s pool house. Go for the food, or get it take-​out. This place is worth keeping open, and hopefully one day it moves to a better location and gets more help.

We had heard good things about Tusconi’s so we decided to give it a shot. Oh my gosh, we had no idea what great food we were about to enjoy. My husband got the Foothills Philly Cheesesteak sandwich and considered it the very best he had ever had. High quality ingredients and an award winning family recipe made it an exceptional sandwich. I got the baked spaghetti and was given a portion large enough for two! Again, the ingredients were fresh and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Give this place a try, and I promise you won’t be disappointed. There really is nothing like it in the Lenoir area. For the quality of food you are getting, the prices are awesome! Very reasonable! We will be going back!

Great new restaurant in Lenoir! The food is gourmet and they only use high quality ingredients. It is unlike anything else in the area!
The pizza only comes in 1 size and it was very large and filling. It could easily feed 2 men or 4 women. :) The crust is fairly thick but not greasy. The cheese is very high quality and tastes great. I didn’t care for the marinated mushrooms, but the black olives are exceptional (imported from Italy) and the meats are high quality.
The spinach lasagna was very good. The blend of cheeses is great and the noodles were not soggy or overcooked. It was a little overboard on the dry herbs for my taste, but it was definitely very flavorful.
The atmosphere is the biggest drawback as the food (and prices) really belong in a high-​class restaurant… however…this is a GREAT place to get excellent, high-​class food in a kid-​friendly, relaxed environment.
The owner is very friendly and eager to talk about all of the special ingredients used to make his award-​winning dishes.
This restaurant is amazing and truly unlike anything in the area!
