Ya know how you work at some restaurants and then absolutely refuse to go back because you just don't want the food anymore? It's disgusting, you ate too much of it, whatever... THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH HAWTHORNES! I worked here YEARS ago as a student at CPCC and I still look forward to my 8" cheese pie with loads of parmesan cheese! The garlic knots are to die for and I just can't say enough great things about Hawthorne's. Love the atmosphere, love the drink specials and the pizza is always perfect. Plus a lot of the people that worked there years ago are still there and they're all great company. I always love going back!
