“came through to get a gyro pizza and brought my dogs along for the ride since theres a convenient drive thru. when we pulled up to the window Steve (the owner) came up and gave my dogs some pepperonis! definitely the highlight of their day! He told me he loves dogs and would love to see more dogs come through so he can say hi and they can get some “pupperoni” treats too!“
“The most interesting thing happened to me this morning. I came to the drive thru and the cashier asked “do you eat Cinnamon rolls?” I told her I don’t really need one, but I do eat them occasionally. She mentioned that she was testing out their 4th of July Cinnabons, and wanted me to try one. Let me just say this, it tastes as good as it looks and I highly recommend you to swing by Schlotzsky’s and get your 4th of July Cinnabon fix while supplies last!“
“The pizza is always good. Would just like to know what the extra $5 delivery fee is for if the driver is not getting it. I have asked several times and the employees and drivers keep telling me they don't know what the fee is for because the drivers don't get it, they are tipped separately.“
“Here now. Food is delicious as always. Service is not what it was. The two serving staff young girls are more concerned about their cell phones and one is napping. Have not been back to check on us since the food was brought out and water bottle remains empty. Food is still great and worth it. Probably better during the week I guess“
“Service was very attentive and welcoming. Once in the restaurant was very cozy, and quiet. We went on a Saturday afternoon, not crowded at all. There seems to be additional seating on a back porch area. We ordered the bbq chicken pizza and the lamb. The pizza was full of flavor. The lamb was absolutely delicious“
“I loved the ambiance of this place. I love that there are no tvs, how small and dark it is. It reminds me of places in NYC. The service was great. The food was good. I'm a little disappointed in the lack of pasta dishes for an Italian restaurant, but that's my only complaint.“
“The service has been on point all 3 times we’ve gone, nowadays that’s pretty amazing, the food is absolutely On Point, been outstanding every time, don’t mess up and not order dessert the Tiramisu is dynamite!!!!! I don’t even like bread pudding and my wife got it, it was incredible, Highly Recommend!!!!!!“
“I ordered the Alfredo Fries and Lamb Gyro. The fries were nice and crispy just like I asked for. The Alfredo fries were great. Nice and flavorful. The lamb Gyro was good. I lived in Europe for three years. I used to eat, gyros all of the time fresh off of the roller. I have a higher standard than most people for a Gyro. The Gyro at this location was OK. It was not amazing and it was not bad, it's right in the middle. The Tzatziki sauce was extremely cucumbery. They should use less cucumber next time. The sauce overall was about a five out of ten, it was average. The overall atmosphere inside of the restaurant is great. There is plenty of seating and a nice bar. They do not sell liquor at this location but they do have wine and beer that you can buy. The waitress was wonderful. She made sure I had everything that I needed and that I was ok.“
“So I went here about 9:56 pm to pick up a call in order. I ordered Chicken Parmesan and Carrot cake, when I say good, I shared it with my niece and still had some leftover. It was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this place any time!!! And carrot cake simply positively scrumptious melt in your mouth good. I gave it 10 stars!!!! And they service was extremely excellent.“
“BEST GLUTEN FREE PIZZA! Came in while visiting the area with family and tried out the cauliflower crust gluten free pizza option. Crust was perfectly cooked, sauce was fantastic and just the right amount of cheese. Kids had a cheese pizza (that I didn’t try but they loved it) and the wife had the Pig & Fig pizza. Everyone left satisfied.“
“It's a great Italian restaurant despite the size of the restaurant! I enjoyed the food there especially the chicken Parmesan and the baked spaghetti! I also enjoyed the soup, which was a spinach and Italian sausage style soup! The service was excellent and the waitress was very nice and friendly! That was the biggest highlight of the visit! The atmosphere was very pleasant and the restaurant was very clean overall! I'm glad that I chose this restaurant for visiting Columbia!“
“Everything we've ordered from Tabz has been absolutely top notch. I can't do dairy, so Tabitha will concoct a special dish for me that is just perfect. My sister in law said it was the best pizza she had ever had. I have to agree.“
“The staff were all a delight, attentive and so courteous! The food- wonderfully authentic, the freshest ingredients, and absolutely delicious. A very enjoyable experience. I will go above and beyond to support a this locally owned business.“
“Hi everyone my name is Anthony me and my wife Ms Janice and friend Ms. Elizabeth recently came to this wonderful restaurant called Nick's and our food was fresh and hot Mr Ethan was our server for the evening he was absolutely the ? best very professional very consistent and very caring we need to have more caring and consistency we are greatly thankful.“
“Best restaurant in Columbia!!! Food is off the hook good, staff was AMAZING! I felt from the minute I stepped in the door like I was in the company of old friends. Can't say enough about this spot. It's old skool, down home, fresh and amazing quality!!“
“Ordered my usual the Italian hoagie. Wish they would have put a normal amount of mayonnaise on the sandwich. Was literally dry bread hardly any mayo but aside from that not that hard to get a sandwich right. My colleague ordered a salad and he seemed to enjoy it. Pizza is always fantastic and beer selection is vast. Can't blame an entire restaurant for a sandwich lacking mayo. Will revisit Mellow mushroom again for sure.Kid-friendliness: Walls covered in murals and kids menus with crayons“
“Had another great evening at this location. Had some great pizzas and even got to see a few planes land. Not so busy this day but they were hosting a private event. So if you need a location for private events check them out. They have the space for it.“
“I go to danos very often . As a single older women I feel so comfortable there and too many folks know me....I get my wine and pizza....and chat amongst other patriots as well .I truly feel safe and happy there. This morning a gentleman knocked at my door....I thought I was gonna get yelled at because of my dogs.. well no barking and he was gentle and so nice....he asked who I was and returned my wallet from yesterday....I went in to get a pizza and some wine...I took only my keys and tiny wallet.....He was the owner of danos and I live close enough that he said he would just drop off....Not a usual situation and I almost cried at an the kindness of Dan to drop off....we live in a world of no ones cares......all the peeps at danos help me and chat with me...Dan went above and beyond.... I'm so lucky to have a local place I call home....lucky me....Love ya danos“
“Without a doubt, they have one of the best pizzas! I recommend making your pizza with the ingredients you like, and what you'll receive will be fantastic! I've been here multiple times, and each time the quality and service were excellent!“
“Stopped by this location on Easter Sunday, since a lot of the other locations were closed. I had the spicy teriyaki wings, which had a great flavor. I also had the egg rolls, which were amazing. The dipping sauce went very well, with the egg rolls.The customer service was great. The gentleman at the door helped with me getting a menu. The bar tender Gabe was very friendly.Definitely a great spot to pop in to grab drinks, or shoot a game of pool.“
“From out of town and was in the mood for some good pizza. Being from NY and Italian I was skeptical. Saw this on googles “best list” and man they weren’t kidding.The restaurant is so nice. Great ambiance.I ordered a peroni but it wasn’t cold so Colette put it on ice!! She was such a great waitress. She didn’t rush me which was amazing after a 10hour drive. ?????I then ordered the small Greek salad, the breadsticks, and a small traditional with olives spinach onions and tomatoes.Everything was absolutely delicious. I was stuffed to the brim.This is a must place for some amazing food!Ok Columbia, I’m impressed ???Thank you for putting delicious pizza out there!“
“I haven't been here since relocating. I had a chance to stop in today. The food was delicious but the portion of my husband's salad was sad. He was so upset to pay $23 dollars for a salad with 3 scallops. Hopefully the next visit will be better for him. My pizza was delicious.“
“We love to go on "Opera Thursdays" (the second or third Thursday each month). Not only do we enjoy the food, but the entertainment is by some very talented singers. Some of those who have sung at Carnegie Hall, many traveling opera troops all over the world, as well as local talented teachers from USC, Columbia College, Benedict College, and other schools from the area.Villa Tronco is the oldest restaurant in Columbia, and with four generations of experience, have really perfected the food, wine selections, and graceful service.In addition they offer Broadway and Jazz nights on Thursdays.Reservations are a must for the Jazz, Broadway and Opera evenings.Vegetarian options: Ask the server for details as the menu has specials which include a vegetarian choice.Dietary restrictions: My husband is dairy free, and they always accommodate him. The servers also alert the kitchen because they have many items that are made to order and can be adapted.Parking: There is a lot at the corner of Sumter and Blanding that is available in the evenings. Look for the sign at the entrance“
“Been wanting to try these guys for years. Managed to get off early enough to catch them before they were closing. I called roughly 30 minutes before they were supposed to close just to make certain it was okay to put a order in because I don't like being one of those terrible people that shows up before a business clothes expecting full service. The young lady that answered the phone was very welcoming, very sweet about it, and actually almost made me feel Goofy for asking because it was no big thing. Ordered a large Meat Lovers, and take it home from my son and me. My new favorite pizza place. They got the meat cheese and sauce balance just right, my son was ecstatic and he normally doesn't care about that sort of stuff. Can't wait to come back and dine in.“
“I love that you can create your own pizza and not get charged for extra toppings. The service is ok depending when you go. I love the atmosphere it's very family oriented and chill.Vegetarian options: Since you can create your own pizza you can get all veggies or what have you.Parking: Parking in a small shopping enter and parking is a headache. Be careful because people don't look where they going and hit you and keep going!Kid-friendliness: Kids can go and enjoy themselves with parents of course. They can create their own pizza and share their creations with each other.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is too far away from blaze and mostly taken up anyway.“
“Today my job was supposed to have a food truck come but they had an accident so we called Bellacino's to see if they could get together some food for 25 people and man did they show up!! They got everything done super quick and everything tasted amazing!!“
“I throughly enjoy the food here. It is always fresh and flavorful. The servers are friendly and know the menu very well and can offer suggestions. My suggestion, in addition to all of the dishes on the menu, is the Turkish flat bread... the presentation is beautiful. The only thing I haven't tried is the pizza. Even when very busy, the kitchen is able to keep up with the patrons and there is never a long wait.I absolutely recommend the green olive!Vegetarian options: Salads, appetizers, pizza...Dietary restrictions: My husband is dairy free and there were no issues.Parking: Right next door is a large parking lot.“
“Came here by accident and so glad we did. It was so good. We got 2 different kinds of sandwiches and something else I cant remember at the time. Only thing that caught me was the meatball sub didnt have sauce. But it was still good so cant even “
“Ordered my food to go at this location last night as they were about to close. The owner said sure come on in give me 10 minutes.The baked lasagna was fresh with lots of sauce, and the mozzarella sticks were melted to perfection, and chessy.Great location to dine in with family or friends.“
“This has always been a great place to eat and listen to live music...until tonight. A bartender with skinny jeans, a cowboy hat, and a serious attitude decided to harass the sound man in a threatening manner 3 times about turning down the volume. As the night progressed, you could hear the bartender losing his cool with customers. At the end of the night, as my lady friend and several of our friends were saying goodbye and getting ready to leave, the bartender was fighting with one of the patrons. I had enough when his scuffle almost hit 3 ladies standing beside me. I had to pull them back behind a table for their safety. I will consider going back when my favorite bands are playing but if this bartender is still employed when I return, it will be my last visit.“
“Village idiot always has the best pizza and the best atmosphere. Our server mason is our favorite we always request to be sat in his section because of his great food suggestions and happy attitude. Its always a fun time at Village and definitely the best pizza in “
“The lasagna reminded me of lasagna I've had in Italy. I asked where it was made and was told, in house daily. It was absolutely amazing.The service was great and prompt. Even with a new computer system, my server was careful to explain and answer all my questions eventhough she was busy and trying to navigate through a hectic day.The decor is very traditional for a Greek style restaurant. I don't understand why so many people say it is "run down" It's obviously a family owned business, even including a portrait of what I'm assuming is the family's children.I am looking forward to returning and trying more the made in house dishes.“

“I love Clara & Rays, there pizza is the best New York style pizza in the Columbia area. I always have to bring my out of town relatives to this restaurant when they are here visiting, it remains us of Brooklyn, the taste is so authentic, which is very hard to duplicate .“
“First time getting the gluten free dough build my own pizza. My gluten free is an allergy when when the guy was told that he immediately changed his gloves and he as the only one to handle my pizza. When he got done he told the person who puts the pizza in that this was a gluten free was an allergy. My pizza was amazing. I love being able to get gluten free pizza out definitely won’t be my last ???????. Very friendly and nice staff. For me personally the place is very loud with not a lot of people there just the way the place was built. If it was warmer I would definitely sit outside.“
“Been looking forward to trying this place and found it interesting... Very busy on a rainy Friday night. Ordered at 4:15 and was ready by about 5:30. Guys were slammed and working hard. Everything was prepared correctly and well made. Really liked the meatball pizza ?. The Brussels sprouts pizza was good but the caramelized garlic was very very caramelized. Like caramel. Stick to your teeth. Different. I didn't like the flavor of the pepperoni on the jalapeno pizza. A bit gamey for me.I will Definitely ? be going back for meatball and try something else. Love a place that's doing it differently!“
“The interior has wall art that makes the place feel cozy and the soft italian music meant you could still talk but there was nice ambiance. The food was amazing! I got a calzone, garlic knots, and cannoli, all of it was super fresh and the size was reasonable to generous. The large calzone will feed a family of four and there were plenty of garlic knots to share. The cannoli was not stale at all, which considering i was getting the food later at night was not expected. The staff was super nice and helpful when i had an extra request.This place has just been added to my favorite restaurants.Parking: Good number of spots right in front of the building“
“Born & raised NJ, where they make the “best pizza in the world,”…look it up. Moved here in 2017…tasted garbage after garbage pies as we worked our way down the phone book. The top closest were Kovachi (but way too much jalepenos in their sauce), Clara & Rays, (but they stretch dough too thin and sauce waters up the dough), Nicky’s uses cheap cheese and ALWAYS burns their Sicilians!, and Papa Gio’s…no way. Gave up for years and used to drive up to Portofino’s in Charlotte a few times a year just to remember what real pizza tasted like. Totally pissed that no one here knew how to make pizza….after all, don’t we live in the same country?!…and like not far up the coast either?! Hell even Charlotte knows. Did we inherit all the bad Yankees who dong know their a$! from a hole in the ground?!Heard about Brooklyn Express, and gave it a shot. Knew AS SOON AS I WALKED IN, I was transported back home!…the smell, the layout, the look of the pizza , its crust, its herbs, its cheese that wasn’t oily, how it was stretched. They heated me up the basis for all judgement - a plain slice….and BOOM…first bite, STRAIGHT UP, SPOT ON!! Eyes closed, and I was on the Jersey boardwalk again loving life. FINALLY, real pizza, close to home! Shout out to Julie & Papi for taking pride in quality!What r u waiting for? If you were born/raised around pizza and moved here…get over there and get what ur looking for…those who know, know what I’m talkin about!!!!!FYI they’ll soon be moving to 7741 Broad River Rd, Irmo.“
“Ive been going to cicis since I was a child, it’s a comfort place for me. The manager Jessie was so nice to everyone. Had an amazing attitude and came up to our table personally to ask how everything was and if I wanted my macaroni pizza remade because it wasn’t as fresh as he’d like it to be. Amazing service from him!!!“
“You don’t go here for the atmosphere, as it is a takeout pizza place. And the service may not be anything extra, but the night I went everybody was hustling, busy making pizzas. So I can understand if there wasn’t a little extra smile. But the pizza really surprised me, it’s really good! I’ll admit, I haven’t met many pizzas I don’t like, so others might not agree with me. But I had the supreme, and it was piled with toppings, but not to the point of canceling each of the flavors out. The leftover slices were even good.“
“I LOVE mod pizza. The choices you have are endless. I really appreciate pizza places having crust options for others. I get their mad dog pizza with cauliflower crust and with the modification it is about $13. My daughter's kid cheese pizza was about $8 I believe and with 2 drinks the total was about $30. I normally get her the regular 11" and she can eat the whole thing, when I got her the kid one, she said that's it ? that's how much she loves their pizza. They cook it perfectly every time . When we walked in, all the workers said hi or welcome at different times and one said "you guys are so uncoordinated " lol I didn't mind though. The guy making our pizzas was a little quiet and seemed to need help but he was nice. Everyone seemed very sweet and helpful. They keep their establishment fairly clean as well. I love their aesthetic as well with all the photos on the wall. I do wish they weren't so expensive but everything healthy is expensive but nonetheless I will still buy it especially because it's close to my house lol.“
“Decided to stop through town at this pizza spot. Ordered 2 slices they were good wish 1 of them wasn't so burnt on the bottom but other than that it was good. Not to greasy or over sauced/cheese. Crust was a bit big and thick for my liking.“
“I’ve been coming here ever since I moved to the harbison area about six months ago. Before that I went to the Washington St location. This place is the bomb. Everything is always great. Great prices too. Oh yeah and they’re open until 1 am. You can’t ask for anything else from a pizza place. Staff is always very friendly and professional. Customer service is always a priority. If you haven’t tried this place just do it.Thank you Savannah!“
“The food at this place just hits it out of the park with every dish. You can't go wrong with the sandwiches. We've tried the Philly cheesesteak, the godfather, and the meatball sub, and they're all amazing. There's a garlicky herb seasoning on the bread that is to die for. The fries and garlic knots are great. Today I branched out and got the chicken Alfredo, and let me just preface this by saying I am SO picky about both chicken and Alfredo (if it has the slightest hint of being from a jar, I won't eat it. Chicken cannot be chewy or have untrimmed bits), and it was so good. Sauce is absolutely made in-house. Texture of the chicken was perfect. The atmosphere is kinda nonexistent and the service was meh, but I would get takeout again and again.Kid-friendliness: It's not fancy or quiet, so totally fine to bring kids.“
“My husband got nine wings. Five hot and four with a rub that the waitress recommended. He loved the rub better than his hot wings which is all he ever eats. I got the lunch special, salad, individual pizza and drink. The only thing that disappointed me was, there was no onion in the salad but that won't deter us from going back. The food was very good as was the service.“
“Tonight we decided to stop in and have dinner. It seemed as they may have been a bit busy however we stilled received our food pretty quickly! The only real complaint I have is when I order meat sauce I feel like there’s rarely ever any meat in it… But I know that so it’s no biggie..I will say the GM is outstanding and did an awesome job making sure everyone sitting down eating had everything they needed. He went above and beyond for his customers and that is hard to come by now days. We truly appreciated that and it made our experience great. Thank you. I hope next time we decide to stop in he is there.“
“Went in to order for a company luncheon. The staff was friendly. Great service. The manager and waitress were both amazing in assisting me with an order for 20 people. Very clean and friendly environment. Even had a few laughs with them while I ordered.“
