For more than 41 years, The Untouchables in Denver, NC, has been serving up amazing food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a deep-rooted commitment to community. Known for its incredible pizza, mouthwatering wings, and delicious burgers, this local favorite is more than just a restaurant—it’s a gathering place where friends and family come together to enjoy great meals and good company.
Owner Scott Gilleland knows this better than anyone. Starting as a busboy in 1987, he has dedicated himself to upholding the tradition of quality cuisine and outstanding service that has made The Untouchables a household name in the Lake Norman area. Every item on the menu is crafted in-house, from their famous pizza dough—made fresh daily—to their hand-cut vegetables, ground and blended cheese, and house-made dressings. With a full salad bar, fresh fruits and vegetables, and a variety of specialty pizzas, there’s something to satisfy every craving.
Beyond the kitchen, Scott and his team take pride in giving back to the community. Supporting local schools, churches, and nonprofit organizations has been a priority since the restaurant first opened. Spirit Nights are a beloved tradition, offering schools and community groups a chance to raise funds while enjoying a great meal.
“The Bandy’s community is so lucky to have The Untouchables in our corner,” says Brandon Harbinson, Assistant Principal and Athletic Director of Bandy’s High School. “Scott and Hope are always stepping in to support us with fundraisers and food donations.” In addition, police officers, EMS, and firefighters receive dining discounts as a token of appreciation for their service.
