The August Featured Pizza is a Pizza Margherita.

The August Featured Pizza is a Pizza Margherita.  The red, white, and green ingredients are an homage to the Italian flag.  The beauty of a Margherita pizza is in the simplicity of it's fresh ingredients - uncooked crushed tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella cheese, and fragrant fresh basil. The original pizza was created by an Italian baker from Naples (Grandpa Carbone's family Province) in honor of Queen Margherita.

Fireworks and parking reminder for Saturday night

Carbone's will be closing at 8:00pm on Saturday, July 21, 2012 so that our staff and patrons can enjoy the Saint Bartholomew Church of Crabtree's Our Lady Of Mount Caramel Festival fireworks that begin at 10:30pm.

Due to the number of festival patrons that will be coming to see the fireworks Carbone's Restaurant the the Crabtree Volunteer Fire Department  have developed a system to ensure that the restaurant patrons have ample parking while they enjoy their meal.  
When you enter our parking lots the firemen will collect $5 from each car.  Once inside the restaurnt, you will be given a $5 parking voucher that you must hand to a fireman to recieve your money back.  This process ensures that our patrons will have free parking. Of course you may decide to donate your your $5.  The donations will benefit the Crabtree Volunteer Fire Department.
