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.
