“I am so glad I found this place. The only downside is no delivery, but the pizza is unique and tastes amazing. The ingredients taste fresher than chain pizza places, and the staff is nice. The pizza slices are very gene. I ordered the cowboy pizza aka chicken bacon BBQ pizza and it was amazing. I added bacon. Try the "order by the slice" option. You can choose any pizza on a huge slice. Also, there is no sit-down and eating area. Only an area to wait for your order.“
“We really enjoyed our meal here. It's a small pizzeria/trattoria easily located off Maybank highway in a nice shopping center. It reminds me a little bit of pizzerias in NY where I grew up, where the pizzeria is on one side and the restaurant is on the other. Portions were HUGE! So go hungry, or take home leftovers, which are never bad! I had the half a chicken Parm sub with an arugula salad (a lunch special) and it was oh so good! Some of the best chicken Parm I've had and the salad was really refreshing, simple, but Delicious. The sub bread was unlike anything I've ever had, not exactly pizza dough, which is what it looked like, but was lighter than I expected, which was nice considering how heavy a dish this can be. My husband had a calzone, which was not technically on the lunch menu, but obviously, it being a pizzeria, was always available. This was one of the best calzones I ever had. And, again, much lighter than expected. Generously stuffed with ricotta cheese and your choice of up to 3 fillings, with sauce on the side! De-lish! If I lived closer it would be a staple in our rotation, probably good for my waistline that I don't!“
“As a pizza enthusiast, I will give this place a major stamp of approval! My margarita pizza was sooo delicious. Authentic brick oven Neapolitan style, but had an extra crisped bottom so the slices could be picked up. Almost like New York meets “
“Great food, great service, beautiful decor. Be prepared for an unusually loud interior due to hard surfaces everywhere. Marinated olives with orange zest and pizza were awesome. Probably need a loud atmosphere to turn tables because the pizza is so good and so many people order it, but just don’t expect a peaceful atmosphere. In a hurry and want great pizza in a place that looks super cool and feels lively and loud with incredibly friendly staff? Go for it! Sometimes that’s what you want to celebrate something and to keep things upbeat. We prefer to be able to have a conversation and relax, but it’s probably great for young people who are on dates and nervous because they don’t know how to have a conversation yet or people who like drinking at dinner and cackling and hollerin’ at each other.“
“I could not write this review fast enough. We had the pleasure of having Eric as our server last night. What an incredible guy. He greeted us by name, went over the entire menu page by page, offered recommendations for food and drink. We did the chef’s experience tasting menu and it was incredible. Eric went over each course and explained how it was prepared. Our bill after some drinks and tip was a bit over $400 but truly the best money I have ever spent for food and experience. Again, thank you to Eric for making our time in Charleston so memorable and if we are ever back we will be requesting him by name, he was truly wonderful. -The Fees“
“Very charming house (like many restaurants in Charleston).The green salad with roasted carrots was fine, but the sea bass with crispy skin and a base of lentils was the best dish I’ve had in my entire stay in the city.Since the menu changes daily, I do hope that when you come it’s on the menu, and please do order it.“
“There are places you go to eat and the food is good, the service is attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect. Then there is Muse in Charleston…We mulled over the menu for maybe 20 seconds when Donny dropped in on our table (after checking in with regulars, ensuring people saw the step on the way in and greeting total strangers like they were bffs) and altered our evening from a nice night out to a next level experience.He asked us about any dietary “stuff like allergies, vegan-“Me: “yup, we’re vegetarian.”Donny: “I’m getting you the Fettuccine Carbonara but I’ll make sure there’s no meat. It’s what you want. Anything to start? The beets and carrot plate is amazing. How about wine?”Me: “Red…”Donny: “I got you.”I haven’t tasted a pasta dish like that. Ever. Everything is prepared in house (including the fresh noodles), the wine was on POINT and just order the Beets and Carrots. Donny would approve…Donny: “dessert?”My wife: “we were thinking about it but we can’t remember the menu” (cuz we hardly even saw it!)Donny: “Trust me? I got you” and capping (until then) our Muse experience with Pomegranate Liquor soaked ladyfingers topped with a pistachio crumble alt-tiramisu apres’ unlike any dessert I’ve tasted.Now for the amazing part: we leave our credit card behind on the table. I get a phone call/voicemail that I don’t answer/check until 10:59pm. It’s a lovely woman from Muse informing me about our card saying the close at 11pm. We fly out the next morning… I call them, crossing my fingers.Donny answers, problem solves really fast by way of “I’m swinging past your hotel on my way to drinks with a buddy who’s in town. You’ll never know if that true, but I’m dropping off the card anyway…” So I run downstairs and three minutes later, he’s jumping out of the car with a take-away box grinning “you didn’t think I’d come empty handed, did ya?!”Donny, you made our trip. Thanks for being a rad human, serving tasty food and for the extra slice of pistachio heaven. May we all channel a little more of THAT in this world.“
“Wonderful meal prior to our show! I had the clams with house made linguine and the pasta, buttery seasoned sauce was delish. My husband had a lamb meal and it was excellent. My daughter had a small plate as her meal and her girlfriend had a Cesar salad! Drinks were phenomenal and so was the service. Our waiter was very attentive and we even got a visit from the Maitre d! We will definitely be back.“
“This is one of our fav restaurants in Charleston! We just celebrated our anniversary there on Monday and had such a great time! Kari was our waitress and she was absolutely wonderful! She was extremely attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable! She even brought me bug spray because I was getting bit by mosquitoes. I will always recommend this place to locals or out of town visitors!“
“Renzo is hands down my favorite restaurant in Charleston. It’s first and foremost delicious, but also loud (in the best way) and cozy. In a city that often times takes its food too seriously, Renzo is irreverent and fun.Do yourself a favor and order the Korean fried chicken and a Caesar. It’s the best salad in town and those two items alone make a great meal. But don’t stop there. The pastas sell out fast because they’re good - make earlier reservations and guarantee yourself a selection of menu items. The wood fired pizzas are the perfect mix of crusty edges and soft centers. You get char and chew all on one plate.Finally, never miss a “specials” event, loved red sauce week so much the first night we came back for a second. Feast of the Seven Fishes is better than my husband’s Italian grandmother (but I didn’t tell her that).“
“The food was excellent, starting with meatballs and marinara sauce. My wife doesn't normally do meatballs but found them very good. The bread was not the normal oven baked but an Albania roll that was excellent, had them in Italy, and once again, my wife was happy because Italian oven has the hard crust which I like, but it's a personal taste. What can I say, but the overall dinner was excellent.“
“First time diner, and was extremely impressed! I loved the vibe of this shop as soon as we walked in. The menu is unique, and packed with flavor! Had the porcini rubbed prime rib with mushroom conserva and it was heavenly. We also ordered sides of the rotisserie drippings roasted potatoes which tasted like they were right out of your grandmas best pot of stew, and the cremini mushrooms that were delicious! So happy we found this spot!“

“How do you describe great pizza in 4 words? "Pizza A Modo Mio"My wife and I were in town for a convention and stopped into this little gem for some take out. First of all, when you walk in the aromas in that room are amazing. We placed our order (although it was hard to pick just 1 or 2 things, everything looked so dang good).I ordered the pizza (18 inch) with pepperoni & onions. My wife ordered some different slices of pizza and an order of garlic knots. Everyone working behind the counter were pleasant and personable. I got to talk to the owner (Mike) and his manager (Pete). Boy, you could tell these guys were from New York lol. We grabbed our food, paid the cashier and we were off to the hotel to dive in.The pizza was traditional New York style. Thin slices that were full of flavor even with just 2 toppings. The sauce was amazing and the pizza crust...mmmmm. The garlic knots - well....let's just say they didn't last long. Buttery, garlicy and soft. Sooooo goodWhen we are back in town, we will definitely be stopping here again. Do yourself a favor and give these guys a try, you will thank meWheelchair accessibility: Easy in and easy out“
“You pick your choice of homemade pasta and sauce. The fettuccine Alfredo sauce with shrimp was delicious , as well as the Caesar salad and garlic bread. Also , the spaghetti with tomato basil red sauce and meatballs was delicious too. This is a more casual atmosphere where you order at the counter, pay , then they bring the food to your table. I noticed a lot of carry out orders . A wide range of alcoholic beverages available too. Great beach restaurant.“
“Very tasty Italian restaurant! It was packed like sardines on a Tuesday night, which is a good sign of great food. Was a bit crowded and loud for my typical liking, but it was well worthwhile. The service was about as good as the food, but the food certainly was the star of the show!“

“excited to say we finally have REAL italian-american food in charleston! citadel mall food court ambiance not-withstanding; this place is 100000% legit.we had chicken parm over spaghetti and manicotti with bolognese sauce, and they were both absolutely delicious.representative of all of the flavors i grew up eating in my italian-american household, and have been missing so much here. my meal was literally like a trip down memory lane.the pasta (at least in the case of the manicotti shells) was made fresh in house, the sauce is absolutely on point, portions are ridiculously large, prices are reasonable, and the owners super friendly. although we didn't try any, the desserts looked fantastic.. as well as the deep fried calzones.we will be regulars here for sure.“
“They have a huge menu. You can buy pizza fresh and by the slice. They also have salads, pastas, stromboli, calzones, and rolls. We got several things and they were all good. The only thing I was a little unsure about was the fact that the pizza by the slice was sitting out on the counter and they warmed it up before serving it. It seemed like it should have been under a warmer. I didn't know how long it was sitting out like that. They are open late. There's a small dining area, but it's more of a takeout place.“
“My fiancé and I ordered takeout for an at-home date night and we could not be more ecstatic about finding this place. As two transplants from Boston, this was the first time Italian food has made us this happy since we’ve moved to Charleston. We cannot wait to order again!“
“And the pizza with the cauliflower crust It was so good crispy like I like it. I enjoyed it the atmosphere was great. I was on that side of town so I stopped in after I went to Staples I will definitely come back. Ate pizza the night before from Caesars It was horrible this pizza was off the chain so good. I will definitely be back in the service was amazing. I would give it a 10 plus so good ??♥️Parking: Parked right up front and walked in awesome ?Kid-friendliness: They were very friendly and I just stopped for something to drink and they talk to me into the great pizza and it was so good with the cauliflower crust I wanted it very crispy and it was delicious. I had just stopped at Staples and just popped in I will definitely be back. This pizza is something to brag about and the service was amazing. So kind and friendly Great atmosphere. That was alone and did not feel that way. I will 100% come back ♥️☮️Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely would not have a problem coming in this place I love the decor and The pizza was delicious ♥️“
“Fantastic vegan food and Fantastic service. Got a couple of pizza slices and some lasagna, all of it was fantastic. The service was super friendly and variety of vegan choices is great. You can tell everything is handmade and they care about making quality food. Will be back again and again.“
“We love Mario's. Sometimes we eat in and it reminds me of any number of Mediterranean eateries. Sometimes we take out. But whatever we choose, the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious! Their salads are great, too!! We highly recommend Mario's!“
“I love this pizza, best in town, and impressive for the south! The slice is massive. Thin crust, quality sauce and cheese. It is not greasy and made fresh. There is indoor and outdoor seating but we opted to take ours in a box and eat it by the waterfront. This pizza hits the spot!!! The service is great. Cash payment is preferred, but they do accept credit cards.“
“Cozy and happy atmosphere, attentive, friendly service, and the yummiest pizza and salad we've had in a long time. Bacon/bibb salad w/Bleu cheese dressing, then a pizza with Bleu cheese, delicious, tender, tasty beef, and a balsamic glaze. Didn't like the arugula tossed on top, but it was easy to pick off. Tall, fizzy coke with refills. Everything was great.“
“I love love this place first time here is when they did the Christmas tree lighting an I’ve been going ever since!!! I have taken a pic yet but trust it’s good next time I’ll take a pic but the lamb an chicken over rice burgers an wraps must try I haven’t tried a pizza yet but it’s next thx y’all for good “
“We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.We shared a garden salad which wasnt your typical salad.It had pear slices, pecans, tomatoes and cucumbers.It was the salad dressing that really brought the flavors together.Also, we shared the eggplant parmigian.Were gluten free so I didnt know what to expect. It was so good I had to verify that it was gluten free.Many eggplant parmigian are very cheesy, not this one.The eggplant was crisp and the sauce was delicious.My husband also had the chocolate gelato.It was very flavorful, obviously made in house.The service was also great .The hostess was very friendly and the waiter was very helpful .It was very appreciated as it was a busy night.“
“Don't sleep on this place. Eaten here several times and each they had the best tasting pizza in town. Both my fiancee and I agree that their White Calzone is the by far one of the best calzones we have ever tasted, and she is from Europe and has been all over to pizza places. “
“Third time at Coastal Crust on James Island, and can't wait for the fourth. The staff is always friendly, and we haven't had a pie that we did not like. I keep it pretty simple when it comes to pizza, but I enjoy the variety of elevated pizzas that this establishment has. Also tried the wings and was surprised with their crispiness and overall great flavor.“
“Best sandwich of my life. There were so many flavors popping with a hint of heat. The pasta salad was perfection and the tomatoes were in my dreams last night. And I don’t even like tomatoes. Usually. It was so fresh and good and I have now added this place to my list of food obsessions. It was so good. I have driven by so many times and laughed at the name and wanted to try because of the name. I’m so glad I finally went but also mad slept on my neighborhood shop for so long. Do yourself a favor and eat there!!“
“Amazing food! The service matches the quality of the food. The chef was very accommodating to our food requests, including making something that wasn’t on the menu for my 4 year old. Zach also deserves to be mentioned, he was great! 5 stars!“
“Incredible culinary experience. Great service and staff. Environment and ambience best in Charleston. I got the Sunday Gravy and my wife got the Gouda Ravioli. Both delicious and highly recommend. Negroni & Italian Coke were both great! No room for dessert but it looked great too. 5 out of 5!“
“So, my old man and I decided to treat ourselves to some Italian grub at this place, and let me tell you, it was off the charts! From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew we were in for a treat. The vibe was classy yet cozy, setting the perfect mood for a memorable night.Now, onto the good stuff – the food! Every dish we tried was like a party in our mouths. I'm talking next-level risotto with truffles that had us swooning, and ossobuco so tender it practically melted on the fork. And don't even get me started on the fresh-baked focaccia – we had to resist filling up on it before the mains even arrived!The service was top-notch too. The staff were super friendly and knew their stuff when it came to recommending wine pairings. We ended up trying a couple of their suggestions, and boy, were they spot on!Honestly, it's no surprise this joint has a solid five-star rating. I wouldn't be shocked if they bagged themselves a Michelin star soon – they're that good. So, if you're in the mood for a dining experience that's a cut above the rest, do yourself a favor and hit up this Italian spot. Trust me, you won't regret it.“
