Rosario's Pizza
So close to the track you can taste it! If you don't like Rosario's, you don't like NY pizza. This family owned joint has one of the best slices in NC. Sneaky menu too that includes great italian dishes and surprisingly tasty calamari. Caprese slice or Grandma slice is a must. NASCAR Teams freqent this slice of heaven.
