THE RUSTY ONION

Everyone wants to know why we chose a name like The Rusty Onion for the place that serves the best pizza Carolina has to offer After all, rust and food don't generally go together and, as a beloved beast in a Disney movie pointed out, "not everybody likes onions" - most onions, anyway. The response to this particular onion has been really good, and we're pretty proud of that. So, how did we come up with the name, you ask? Well, we wanted a place that would stand out in the local restaurant line up, and in order to do that, we had to be willing to take some risks. We know that some critics will try to point out the obvious and say that our name was one of those risks - we're actually counting on it. It made you curious, right? You're here, after all, and that was the point. Our goal is to provide a dining experience that goes beyond the usual, one that dares to cross over into the "you just have to try it" when you talk about us. So yes, we did name our restaurant with the word "rust"..
