Hawthorne's NY Pizza and Bar
The Verdict
Hawthorne's is a solid NY-style pizza option in Huntersville. The pizza is good, the calzones are huge, and the bar scene is decent. It is not as good as Slice House for pure pizza, but the full-service experience and bar make it a better choice for a sit-down dinner.
