While North Carolina is currently in a phased approach of re-opening, restaurant dining rooms are still closed. The businesses who remain open for takeout continue to churn out creative options for everyone at home. Here are a few of our favorites.
That’s Amore!
Hawthorne’s NY Pizza and Bar
Locals love this NY-style pizza. It’s still available for takeout, but the team is also offering make-your-own pizza kits. You’ll receive 4 personal doughs, mozzarella cheese, a topping of choice, and marinara sauce for just $25. The instructions are super easy to follow, and the result is delicious!
