Hello there - NY pizza snob here! I FOUND IT, I FINALLY FOUND IT - the pizza I grew up with on Long…read moreIsland in Gastonia!!! Let me keep this simple...here's why I'm now a huge fan of Reginella: - FLAVOR, INGREDIENTS AND CRUST. The trifecta that most pizza places can't get right when they try to do NY pizza. Perfect balance of sauce/cheese, they don't skimp on ingredients and this crust is doughy. Pick up that pizza box and it is HEAVY (as it should be)! Also, garlic knots are covered in garlic and have plenty of olive oil - not dry. - ACCURATE ORDERS AND ONLINE ORDERS. I love not having to call and try to explain what I want. They have been accurate every time in what I enter. - HALF AND HALFS! Want half of a white pizza and half of a meaty specialty pizza? They will do it. And no upcharge. - PRICES. I'm blown away by what you get for the quality. Look up the menu. Also, their medium is a large at any other pizza place. HUGE slices. - DRIVE THRU. You read that right. Are you lazy? Don't want to get out of the car in you pajamas? No problem. They have a window for pickup. Or if you want to go inside, there's plenty of parking. - SERVICE. Amazing workers making the pies and at the counter. Always a great experience. This is also a dine in restaurant if you want to take the family. They serve beer and wine (also amazing prices). I can't say enough good things about this spot. It's a good old fashioned Italian restaurant with perfectly done NY pizza. Not 5 stars...at least 6.

They do not take reservations, so you have to get there to get on list. Today happened to be a perfect Tuesday evening to go; there was no wait. The waitress wasted no time to come over and share all the appetizer and main course specials. She did a great job explaining the dishes and answering any concerns. If she wasnt sure, she made sure to get clarification with any substitutions. Everything we had was very good. Each item was either fresh or well seasoned. After an amazing dinner, we were offered the dessert menu. We all were full but the waitress reminded us that we would get a complimentary teramisu or cannoli for my aunts birthday. We picked the tiramisu. Which was amazing. The ambiance is very warm with low-light dining. Will definitely be returning for special occasions or if company comes to town. See you again Antico

I shared the pesto cappelini with my child-it was not very good, we gave the pesto pasta a 1.5/5 Neither of us had much interest in eating more. My partner had the chicken cacciatore 3/5 rating. This was more palatable however, my husband says it's definitely not one of the best that he's had.. I server was nice and attentive when getting us the drinks, however, they did not check on the food quality once. But towards the end of the meal as my son and I were not touching our food, they asked us if we wanted boxes to go - it was quite obvious. They were trying to do this to free up the table. However, my partner was still working on their dish As we left the restaurant, it was surprising the line of people waiting outside for a table, I hope they had a better experience. The ambience inside felt OK, but it was nothing extraordinary, however, the weight staff all had professional looking uniform.
