Rosario's Pizza
Track Spot - 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.

Concord Family Restaurant
Track Spot - This is a great food find! In this old Triangle shaped building sits one of the best dive-finds in NC. Concord Diner, as it is referred to by many locals, is a breakfast paradise (offered 24/7. The lunches and dinners are great too. The place is run by two brothers from NY, Gus and Pete. From Challah Bread French Toast, Pastrami sandwiches, to Ya-Ya's deserts... it gets big-ups on the yum-scale!
