We visited Nonno Carlo tonight (4/24) with a group of six, and WOW - what an absolute gem! Every single thing we ordered was incredible. The two wood-fired pizzas were perfection - crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We also shared the meatball hoagie, meatballs with ricotta, antipasto salad, caprese salad, cucumber-tomato salad, Italian chicken salad sandwich, and the Italiano... and then there was the porchetta sandwich - hands down my new favorite sandwich in the universe. I'm still thinking about it. As if that wasn't enough, we finished with imported gelato (strawberry and caramel), and it was the perfect sweet ending. Beyond the amazing food, the two young ladies working the front were so kind, welcoming, and helpful - it really made the whole experience even better. Do yourself a favor and don't sleep on this amazing little market & café. We will 100% be back! read more

I'm not quite sure where to start, the service from the staff is top notch. You are acknowledged the moment you walk through the door and staff are attentive throughout your interactions with them. The portions are humongous, most definitely a great value for what are going to pay. The atmosphere is fitting to an Italian Deli, this is a must stop if you are in the area. read more

We tried this place for the 1st time, you order from a kiosk however staff was ready to answer any questions if needed. My meatballs were not hot but lukewarm and average tasting. They sell Olive oil straight from Italy. I would like to try something else next time. read more

Nonno Carlo (Italian restaurant, Morgantown, WV), March, 2026. A small group of us shared take-out from this deli while visiting an in-patient relative at the WVU Ruby Memorial Hospital. The group was mostly Italian-Americans, and Italian food is their "go-to" comfort food, especially during such a stressful period. Nonno Carlo, while a bit on the pricey side, did not disappoint with its high quality, abundant, and authentic Italian food. We also appreciated that its location was only about a 5-minute drive from the hospital. Food. (4.5/5). We ordered and shared: (1) The Ellis Island ($15.25), which is described by the restaurant as an Italian American classic sub that is a "sandwich so big you got to take a boat to get there!)" It features herbed aioli, provolone cheese, hot ham, pepperoni, vinegar peppers and onions, lettuce, tomato, and balsamic, piled high on a Mancini's hoagie roll. It was served with potato chips. (2) an Italiano sub ($15.50), which features mortadella, salami, soppressata, capocollo, provolone, and Calabrian pepper spread, served on focaccia. (3) an appetizer, Meatballs and Ricotta ($8.95). This was a favorite, with three DeMedici meatballs served over house-made ricotta. It was served with homemade bread, which was perfect for dipping. (4) Caprese Salad ($3) -- cherry tomatoes, house-made mozzarella, and basil, finished with extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. (5) Cucumber-Tomato Salad ($2), with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and basil, finished with extra virgin olive oil and vinegar. (6) Dessert: 2 for $7 cannoli. (You could also order a single cannoli for $4). My rating is 4-stars rather than 5-stars for two small reasons -- (1) the subs were somewhat soggy by the time they reached us, from the vinegar/spreads on them, and (2) both salads were sour given the ratio of vinegar to olive oil in the dressings. I can't speak to ambiance or service, as this was take-out and someone else picked it up. I would eat in or order from here again. read more

Best pizza around hands down. It's the closest thing I've had to pizza I've eaten in Italy. MUST TRY. Especially if you have a kick for authenticity. read more

The food is so authentic and fresh. The pizzas are amazing, but if you haven't tried the turkey sandwich, you are really missing out! It's addictive! read more

Very authentic Italian. The pizza, sandwich's, & staff were all great! Very nice atmosphere too. Give it a try!

When visiting Morgantown, my boyfriend insists on visiting Nonno Carlo. They have a variety of delicious hot sandwiches. I love the Prosciutto and Mozzerella and he loved the Porchetta. There's also a variety of Italian goods to check out why you wait for your food read more

Tried this place for first time. Mostly reviewing the pastrami sandwich. It's okay, not amazing. Average quality pastrami. Focaccia for bread choice also takes away from it if you're a rye fan. Overall they have a lot of decent looking sandwiches on menu. I would go back to try something different. read more

I randomly tried this place a few weeks ago and now I order at least once a week. Their food is delicious! I love the sandwiches and chips. The price isn't bad either. I HIGHLY suggest giving this place a try. My fiancé and I are going to try the pizza cooking class sometime. read more

First time in your store today. Impressive menu! Wonderful decor and atmosphere. Staff were so friendly and helpful. One criticism, your pizza oven is not hot enough. First, the wood I saw was all soft woods. Soft oak and soft wild cherry. You must use hard wood. Hard maple, oak, ash or birch. Apple and cherry fruit trees. Hardwood will bring the temperature up to 900 degrees and pizzas will be perfect in under 3 minutes. The Sauce, cheese and dough all wonderful just a little under cooked. Sausage and peppers sandwich wad pretty good. Love the I Gonzaga candy took me back to childhood. My dad always had a box for me!! Can't wait to pick up the Mancini's bread! I hope you can appreciate my comments are made with love. Fabulous food and people. We will be back! read more

I needed to find some dinner and take back To my motel room. So I decided to chaccount Nonna Carlo at the suncrest shopping center. I actually have eaten here before but it was another to go order about six months ago with my daughter in law. This trip i'm solo! Talk to the cashier about good healthy choices, also telling her what I liked. She made the suggestion of trying their meatball appetizer which in addition to Meatballs includes sauce and housemade fresh ricotta cheese. I told her that sounded delicious just my hair describing the dish and was willing to try it. I also chose their caprese salad as a side which included their homemade house mozzarella I took my purchases back to the hotel room where I enjoyed them in a nice quiet environment after a long day at the hospital and testing. I have to admit the food was absolutely delicious and I definitely get it again. I'm highly recommending this place for anybody in the area. Oh it also came with a piece of homemade bread which was to die for! read more

Hands down the best sandwich spot in Morgantown. Always my go to for a quick lunch or dinner. The sandwiches are filling, with fresh and flavorful combos of ingredients. Their pizza, salad, and soup are always amazing too. And OMG I dream about the homemade chips. I'm always so happy to see it busy and thriving because this place better stay in business forever!! read more

The deli/store is ok and the atmosphere is fine. Counter service is friendly. The meatball sandwich is recommended as their best. It was underwhelming. While the meatballs and sauce were good, the bread was generic and there was very little provolone. I asked for a little Parmesan to put on top. Overall I expected more but it was just ok at best. read more

Very good food--the bread in particular was fantastic. I ordered the Italian Sandwich. It was great. The dressing on it, coupled with the fresh cuts of meat, made as authentic a sandwich as I had since I was a little boy growing up in the heart of Italian New England. What takes the review down is the small portion sizes couple with the exorbitant costs. Everything in the pic I am adding cost $20.00 for lunch. Not good. read more

After attending an event that was catered by Nonno Carlo, I had to try their restaurant. While the interior is underwhelming the food was amazing. We both had salads that were fresh and very flavorful. We also shared an order of meatballs. While not the best meatballs I have had, they were very good. The ricotta and sauce were delicious. I will be back! read more

My wife and I shared a meatball sandwich and the porchetta sandwich. Both were fresh and super flavorful. The meatballs were massive and deliciously seasoned and the bread was fresh and soft. Service was a little slow due to the lunch rush and FULL dining area. Would highly recommend Nonno Carlo! read more

Well that was some of the worst pizza I've ever had. Pizza made by a bunch of teenagers who know nothing about the oven they're using. Serving people half cooked raw dough pizza. Over priced sub par pizza trying to be something it's not. Waste of money. read more

Sandwiches are amazing! Pizza is pretty good, hard to beat wood fired. It does cost more than most places but the food is above par for sure. read more

Beautiful decor and soft lighting- a tad bit expensive but is in price for this type of deli. They could clean up the area in front of the counter. I loved the funghi pizza very very chewy crust , robust flavors. read more

Nonno Carlo - Personal 10" Pizza Funghi - Pizza Near Me - Morgantown, West Virginia

I came to Morgantown on business and stayed at a hotel near the restaurant. For dinner one night I ordered carryout to cover me for that evening and the next: Caprese salad, Italiano sandwich, and a large Fungi neopolitan pizza. Since I come from Chicago and travel quite a bit, I am comparing Nonno Carlo to a spectrum of places I have frequented, not just joints local to the area. Frankly, I can make a better caprese salad at home. This one appeared to be made of some fine shreds of not-so-fresh basil (so thin they looked like grass picked from the yard), cubes of BelGioioso mozzarella, and a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar. The sandwich, however, was pretty tasty albeit expensive. And the pizza had a decent neopolitan crust but way too much cheese, too little sauce and tiny cubes of portabella mushroom. It came across as stingy and cheap. Overall the ingredients had the quality of things you can readily get from Costco. And with the exception of the pizza crust nothing was that unique or special. Even the dining room, which I only saw while waiting at the counter, had the ambiance of a shopping mall food court. The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful, prices high for the quality of the food, and portions definitely not generous. read more

Amazing food and friendly staff. Great location in a popular shopping area. We could tell they were a bit short-staffed, but the owner himself stepped in to make sure the service did not lack. I had the Italiano sandwich and 3 of us ordered the Caprese sandwich. Both were fantastic with fresh ingredients. Would definitely visit again next time we're in Morgantown. read more

Great Spot! I'd been waiting forever to get a chance to swing in. I ordered for carry out and didn't call ahead but service was still very fast and accurate Friendly staff and the place has a nice feel to it. I asked for a couple recommendations and ordered the Hot Salami pizza, the Italiano sandwich with an Antipasto salad. As I was leaving the girl behind the counter threw in a couple of meatballs for me to try out. Everything was excellent! Best pizza in Morgantown for my money. The Italiano was delicious as was the Antipasto salad. It was all a welcome break from the norm. And those bonus meatballs were to die for! read more

Delicious is all I can say! I have never had anything that was not 5 stars! True Italian sandwich that was loaded with delicious meat was my last purchase. read more

Great food, fast and friendly service. The Italian sandwich was delicious! Perfect amount of meat, and the spread they add to it although too spicy for my taste was very good. The prosciutto pizza was also amazing. We will definitely try it again soon. They also have Italian products, and deli meats/cheeses for sale. read more

Ordered Bianca pizza and meatball appetizer after a very long shift. Pizza arrived with the bottom completely burnt. I mean it was black and tasted terrible. The meatball appetizer comes with 3 meatballs, sauce and ricotta and a piece of bread. They were VERY small meatballs. They tasted bland. The sauce was also very bland. Will not order here again. read more

I have a history of being a NY pizza snob however; after taking a vacation in Italy last spring I changed my Pizza attitude. The pizza at Nonno Carlo tastes so much like the pizza made in Italy. We had the prosciutto and the white pizza and both were delicious and a reminder of real Italian pizza! read more

The turkey sandwich is amazing. The pizza is pretty good too. Good atmosphere and good prices.

Let's start by saying that the first time (roughly one month ago) I received this order, it was satisfactory. The sandwich was actually beyond that! The pork belly was as advertised and killer. Today, however, my $40 order was lacking to say the least... The sandwich has bacon, not porchetta. Totally different curing process (think a contrast like dried mangos vs fruit by the foot. Both are fruit based, but not the same in texture). If you advertise it, have it. If you don't, WHICH IS 100% understandable, JUST SAY SO!! A $14+ glorified BLT is not what I had the first time I ordered it. The chips were just laughable. It's just hitting a potato on a mandolin then into the fry. Not a hard process. Also, a super cheap veg. Just screams lazy. I'll order again bc the first time it was legit dope. Really really good. When that happens, I'll review/delete this if it merits. As a fellow restaurant owner, sell what you advertised read more

Amazing caprese sandwich! I had about 15 minutes to grab something for lunch and Nonno Carlo delivered exceptional service and sandwich that tasted far from fast food. I will definitely be back! Although I got it to go, I would've eaten there if I had more time. read more

Nonno Carlo - Pizza Near Me - Morgantown, West Virginia

Every sandwich is way too bready with minimal inside. Good quality just small portion inside. I've tried 2 and felt similarly for both of them. Also feel this is a missed opportunity for a larger Italian market selection. Would love to see select fancy cheese and meats as well as charcuterie board accoutrements. Would like to try the pizza and see if this bumps the review up. read more

I am so glad that this establishment is here in Morgantown. I cannot think of any negatives. The food is amazing and the people are friendly. I am not sure why they only have 4 stars. My only suggestion would be to make the sausage available as a side order. I could eat that every day. read more

Excellent fresh food Italian Style and friendly service. You def should try it if you're in Morgantown.

I had Nonno Carlo delivered through Grubhub and the margarita pizza was amazing. It's crust was Neapolitan style. It had the taste and perfect texture that all good Neapolitan crusts have. The salty cheese went well with the tangy sauce and the doughy crust. I am happy to pay $12.50 for a well done, artisan pizza in Morgantown. I also really enjoyed the caprese salad. The nice cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese were dressed really well. I do not give Nonno Carlo 5 stars because of the single meatball that I ordered. The meatball was way too salty. I believed the meatball to be average at best. Other than that, I like this place. read more

Sad to report this $38 lunch for two was a total disappointment. We had seen amazing Instagram photos from foodie friends, so we figured it had to be good. I was drooling over a picture of a saucy, cheesy, crusty meatball sub, but what I got was a sad-sack cousin with no sauce and what appeared to be a tiny bit of melted cheese on the bottom. NOTHING like the photo they show. The bread was indeed crusty, but that was not enough to justify $13. The whole thing was rolled into a piece of paper even though we'd ordered to eat in. We literally ate one meatball and packed it back up to take it home, where we'll try to salvage it with our own sauce, cheese and toaster oven. The porchetta sandwich is gorgeous with its pink meat and green pesto, but the sandwich was surprisingly bland. The focaccia was obviously fresh, but the whole sandwich was so soaked in oil that it bled through the wax paper and left greasy smears all over our hands and the table. It was good, not great. And NOT worth $14. The house-made truffle chips in a little wax paper bag were greasy, not super crispy and overly salted. I've seriously had better chips at Mario's Fish Bowl and Wings Ole! Side note: The chairs at the high tops are child-sized and incredibly uncomfortable. The seats are so short they cut into the back of your thighs. I can't imagine how a larger person would even attempt to sit when an average-sized person like me couldn't wait to get out of it. (Maybe they don't want you to linger???) Honestly, I had high hopes for this place, and we always try to support local businesses. Last weekend, we went to the absolutely WONDERFUL Village Butcher, where the $12 sandwiches are incredible and worth every penny. But Nonno Carlo is going to have to improve its quality and lower its prices to survive long term. We are willing to pay for good food, but not mediocrity. Quite frankly, there are much better places in Morgantown that offer top-notch food at lower prices. read more

Daughter picked this place, but I was amazed about the great quality and authentic Italian tasting food. Ambiance is more like a quick deli atmosphere (walk up order, pickup) but the decor adds a flavor not found in a deli. Staff is friendly and helpful. I would return many times here if I lived locally. Absolutely one of my favorites in Morgantown. read more

We ordered the Soppressata and Porchetta sandwiches with chips and cucumber salad. The soppressata was loaded with meat and cheese and herbs and the homemade focaccia bread was delicious. Cucumber salad and homemade chips were amazing. I've never had a better potato chip. The Porchetta was just OK (I'm pretty sure it was a pancetta, not Porchetta, sandwhich). Overall, great experience just a bit pricey ($30 for two sandwhich w/ upgrade for cucumber salad). read more
