It’s one of those places that you miss if you’re not aware it’s there, but aren’t the best food places? The owner is very friendly, and took the time to stand and chat with me a moment about his time in Hickory and how he came from NYC to begin working towards his own pizzeria. He’s big on quality control and doing things the right way, no matter if it’s more work or time.
His handmade dough is amazing, and we loved the garlic knots (which are an amazing deal, btw). He roasts his toppings in house (meat included), and does not skimp on portions. When I tell you I had to carry that box with box hands, please believe that it was heavy!
Everything was perfect. We will definitely be returning to try the other menu options! It all looks so good

I normally get a pizza at both Tony’s and Amalfi’s when I’m in town but this time I came across this spot online and noticed it had a higher rating than both of my favorite spots so I wanted to check it out. I was very glad I did. This is a top tier NY style pizza. I highly recommend you give it a try! I will definitely be back

Hands down the best pizza place around here. If anyone says otherwise they’re LYING!! My husband and I have tried over 83 pizza places in the last two years and Bambini’s is our favorite. To top it off, the owner is always so kind and funny! Don’t let the atmosphere or the parking strip scare you away, this man knows what he is doing!

We just moved to the Hickory area from Texas and I wanted a NY-style pizza. We placed the order and I picked it up and had the opportunity to meet the owner. Really great guy who has a passion for making the Best Pizza I’ve ever had. Mr. bambino you have a new customer, my family really loved the pizza. I would highly recommend IL BAMBINI’S PIZZA.

Walked in on a cold night close to closing time. Ordered the margherita and regular cheese and it is pizza that I’m willing to go out of my way 30 minutes to try again. The restaurant looks like it used to be a Chinese buffet, but the pizza is as authentic as you can get

We were the only ones eating inside, but owner was very friendly. Pizza was great! It’s not papa johns or pizza, but freshly made pizza. Tasted fresh and simple. We enjoyed it. Owner will talk to you. I would recommend.

From the reviews we were expecting a great 1st time experience in both service and food. We were disappointed in both. At 5:30 on Saturday night we were the only people in the large, rundown facility. The staff were buried in their phones but were friendly once engaged. The pizzas by the slice had been cooked and sitting out for long enough to be very soggy and unappealing. the reheat process warmed the food but the crust was still soggy and very limp.
So recommend ordering whole pies either for take out or dine in.

WOW this place has great food and the owner was really friendly.
I would drive all the way to Charlotte to get good pizza so I’m so happy I found this place.
