Pizzeria Grazia — Restaurant in Aberdeen

I grew up in Italy. I’ve lived all over the U.S. including NY. Not once have I ever found such a place that can produce such a genuine Italian pizza using all the traditional methods and ingredients. This place is truly a wonder. It’s just like going to the local pizzeria in my hometown in Italy, complete with the traditional Italian naming conventions for each style of pizza. The history behind this restaurant is responsible for the quality of the product, and the service is equally as impressive.

The restaurant has a weekly specialty pizza that combines tradition with creativity. It is obvious that passion and care are put into all the food, but especially the specialty pizzas. I had the opportunity to speak with a young lady who I believe was the manager, who was able to provide extremely detailed insight into the history of the methodologies and the subtleties of each product. I was quite impressed to see how young yet knowledgable and professional the staff was. It was truly a sight to behold to see young people from America preparing such a traditional and cultural product from my home so far away, and with the level of knowledge and passion about it that they had. For Americans pizza is typically just a sort of fast food, but it is the National dish of Italy and holds a special place in that country.

The staff was willing to take the time to explain to me exactly how the specialty pizza that I tried was made and even recommend appropriate drinks for pairing. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am at this establishment in the quality of both staff and product. I have yet to meet the owner but I would like to thank him/her personally for bringing such a gem to a small town in the USA. It is quite amazing to know this establishment is able to teach young, hard working people such a cultural and impressive art and instill them with the passion necessary to create such lovely food. This is a MUST VISIT for anyone who wishes to try the most authentic Italian...

🍕🔥 Pizzeria Grazia: Aberdeen's Neapolitan Gem! 🔥🍕 My husband and I were on the hunt for killer Neapolitan pizza in Moore County, and we hit the jackpot Pizzeria Grazia in Aberdeen, NC. We brought along some lifelong friends for the ride, and it was an incredible flavor-packed journey! We kicked things off with dynamite appetizers, like their wood fired meatballs, drenched in san marzano sauce and served with fresh basil, parmigiana, and house-made focaccia. Oh, and those smoky wings topped off with shaved Pecorino Romano? Smoky heaven! 🍗 But the real magic happened when our pizzas arrived. The Margherita was a classic winner with San Marzano sauce, fresh basil, garlic, mozzarella, pecorino romano, and olive oil. And the Carnivoro, loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mortadella, soppressata, mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, and basil? An absolute carnivore's delight!🍕 And the smell of the wood-fired oven? It transported our taste buds straight back to Italy, adding a rustic charm to the whole experience. The staff? Super friendly and passionate about their pies. And don't let the limited drink selection fool you – they've got quality wines and beers that pair perfectly with your pie. Pizzeria Grazie, you're our go-to for Neapolitan nirvana! 🇮🇹🍕🔥 #PizzaHeaven...

I visited Pizzeria Grazia on a Tuesday, which happens to be $10 pizza day! The outside of the building looks nice. When you walk in, you realize how spacious it is on the inside.

To order your food and beverages, go to the cashier and order what you’d like. They will give you a number, and you find a table and place the number placard in the stand. If you ordered a drink, they have a beverage station on the other side of the restaurant with plenty of options.

Once you are seated with your number placard in the stand, you wait until they bring your food to your table. Today, I ordered a pepperoni pizza. It was delicious. It’s not your usual, heavy pizza. It tastes…like a pizza you’d have in Europe. It’s really good! I also ordered the tiramisu to go and that was amazing.

When you have finished eating, just leave the plates and stuff on the table and you are free to go. The cashier’s area has boxes you can grab to take any leftover food.

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. Go check out Pizzeria Grazia in down town Aberdeen. You won’t regret it…unless you are gluten free or have dairy intolerances. However, I’m sure they have other options for people with special dietary needs. Go...
