I am leaving 5 stars across the board for two reasons listed below, but let me preface that I placed a Doordash order.
TLDR: Andrew and the back of the house crew fulfilled a special request that I called to make for my Doordash order. It was delicious, and I am an extremely thankful and satisfied customer.
First: The pizza was FANTASTIC. The crust is done to perfection without any uncooked dough and perfectly crisp. The toppings are well distributed around the pizza, and the perfect amount was put on the pizza. The freshness of the ingredients is evident by the incredible flavor.
Second: I am a trucker that is shut down for my rest break at the Pilot Travel Center in Troutman, so I had to have this Doordashed to me. I’m from Mississippi, and we have a restaurant that is local to the state called Lost Pizza Company. One of their signature pizzas is called The Lucille. The Lucille is a chicken bacon ranch pizza with a pizza sauce base, sliced roma tomatoes, and minced garlic in addition to the obvious and the ranch is drizzled on top of the pizza instead of being the sauce base. It is my absolute favorite pizza there, and I was REALLY craving it, so I called Hawthorne’s after not having any luck with customization at other places on Doordash. The ONLY option they were missing was to have a ranch drizzle on top. An employee by the name of Andrew answered the phone, he listened to me explain my request, and expressed that he was happy to pass my request along to the kitchen. My request was fulfilled, and I am an EXTREMELY happy customer. Obviously it isn’t the exact same as what I get back home, but it was still very good and satisfied this truckers craving for a slice of home!! Thank you Andrew, thank you back of the house, and thank you Hawthorne’s!!! Ya’ll are AWESOME!!!

Oh Myyy! The Penne Ala Vodka is a perfect ala dente {I can't cook dente) The Marina sauce not too Acidic w/ great blend of Cheese & officially my FAV! I can't wait to try Chicken Parmesan now! I've not got into the Cannoli Plate yet~ only sneaking lil dropped Filling on my plate. The Creamy Filling is wonderful! Not overly sweet & more of a Buttery (perhaps?) ..Sorry pics of salad looked like it was picked on but that's because I couldn't wait & ate! The Cheese & Captain Wafer crumbs I added from Home. I seriously can't wait to order from here again so it'll probably be by end of week . Next time everyone wants Pizza? I'll be telling them I know of an Awesome place so I can order the pasta dishes & wings!! I can say not only is this my Favorite Italian now but the BEST Door Dash Order & I've ordered helluvalot!

i love hawthorns, i always get the penne ala vodka. 100/10 would recommend to anyone, and the garlic knots are so buss down. i ate so much i almost threw up, it can be addictive i swear. but literally would recommend any day, maybe not everyday since it is a lil pricey but it is worth the cost

I have been eating at/ordering from Hawthornes for 3 years and I'm leaving a review because of how wildly inconsistent the food can be. After nearly 3 years, I ordered the bolognese for the first time a few weeks ago and it was so good I couldn't believe it. Having cravings, I ordered again a few weeks later and the bolognese was extremely average. The garlic knot was dry, no butter no garlic. I experienced this before with the Cappelini Supreme after having it in the restaurant and falling in love but then ordering it for delivery and it was sub-par, in all ways. Lack of ingredients, sauce, portion size, everything. I'm a local in Mooresville and Hawthornes has been one of my go-to's but the inconsistencies are real.

the best pizza in mooresville nc hands down! can't wait for more! and the food is so well prepared...you can just tell that everything is fresh and made on the spot...and by the way it's going to plenty as well...if you're a cold pizza in the morning kind of person...it makes for a breakfast as well...hawthorne's is my favorite spot in mooresville for sure...the meatballs whether as an app or the sub (bread is outstanding) can't be beat...thank you hawthorne's for always delivering the best quality and taste around!
