This Lowcountry suburb of Charleston is a pizza lover’s paradise, blending coastal Southern ingredients with Italian craft and big-city creativity.
Here are five of Mount Pleasant’s best pizza places in 2025.
1. Coastal Crust
Famous for its wood-fired, brick-oven pizzas served out of a vintage food truck and flagship dining room, Coastal Crust’s chewy crust and fresh, farm-to-table toppings make it a foodie destination.
Try the “Coastal Pie” (pesto, shrimp, arugula, lemon zest) or the “Farmers’ Market” veggie special, and don’t miss the craft sodas and gelato.
2. Grimaldi’s Pizzeria
Grimaldi’s brings its acclaimed coal-fired New York–style pies to the heart of Mount Pleasant.
The signature crispy-yet-chewy crust is topped with their iconic sauce, fresh mozzarella, and classic or trendy toppings.
The “Brooklyn Bridge” and “White with Garlic” keep crowds coming back for more.
3. Andolini’s Pizza
This local favorite delivers NY-style, foldable slices and creative specialty pies with a distinctly Southern twist (think spicy Carolina sausage and fresh collards on a pizza).
The “Ando Supreme” or White Pie are must-orders, and the bustling dining room and friendly staff make this a top stop for families and students alike.
4. D’Allesandro’s Pizza
“D’Als,” as locals call it, started in downtown Charleston and brought its hip, welcoming vibe and chewy hand-tossed pies to Mount Pleasant.
They offer creative combinations (try the “Charleston Pie”—bacon, green pepper, red onion, ranch) and vegan and gluten-free options.
The casual patio and craft beers are always a draw.
5. Mellow Mushroom
A crowd-pleaser with Southern flair, Mellow Mushroom’s stone-baked pies—like the “Kosmic Karma” and “Mighty Meaty”—are perennial favorites.
The funky décor, fun drink specials, and inclusive menu (vegan, gluten-free dough) make it a Mount Pleasant staple for all ages.
