There’s nothing better than hearing that a guest came back, gave us another try, and became a loyal Cellucci’s fan! ❤️

This week’s Tuesday Testimonial has us smiling big:
“I am now a completely loyal fan of Cellucci’s! The staff are awesome and calzones are incomparable!!! I order mine stuffed with as much as I can, double the cheese, and enjoy Every Single Bite! Always cooked perfectly, huge portion… Update: Is it me or did the calzone get even better?!”
Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Atmosphere: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Now that is the kind of review that makes our whole team proud!
Our calzones are big, warm, cheesy, stuffed with your favorites, and baked just right. Whether you keep it classic or load it up with extra cheese and all the toppings, it is the perfect meal after a day enjoying everything we are blessed to have here in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
Summer in the High Country means lake days, hiking, golf, mountain drives, family visits, patio time, and exploring all the natural beauty around Pineola, Linville, Newland, Banner Elk, and Grandfather Mountain. After a full day of mountain fun, Cellucci’s is here with the Italian comfort food you’ve been craving.
Come see us this week and try one of our fan-favorite calzones!

**IMPORTANT JULY 4TH WEEK SCHEDULE:**
Cellucci’s will be **CLOSED on Saturday, July 4**, so our team can celebrate the holiday with family and friends. We will be **OPEN every other day of the week**, so come see us before or after your July 4th festivities!

Thank you, Josh Hollifield, for this fantastic five-star review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Excellent food and great service. The wings are a special treat on their own. I even saw a lady take out a rock column on her way out—must have been the good drinks. If you ain’t rubbin’, you ain’t racing!”

Josh also gave us 5/5 for food, service, and atmosphere and recommended the Greek Salad and Oven-Baked Subs!

We’re thrilled you enjoyed your visit, Josh—and we appreciate the laughs! Our cocktails may be good, but please enjoy them responsibly and let someone else handle the driving. The rock columns will thank you! 😄

Come kick off July 4th week with great food, friendly service, delicious wings, refreshing drinks, Italian favorites, salads, oven-baked subs, pizzas, pastas, desserts, and plenty more.

🇺🇸 **Remember: Closed Saturday, July 4—open every other day of the week!**
