What locals are saying
King's Pizza by Italian Bistro is Ladson's closest thing to a New York slice shop run by actual Neapolitans — the kitchen crew hails from Naples, and it shows in the thin-crust pies with a proper flop and a crispy-edged chew that's rare on this side of the Lowcountry. Pasta dishes like eggplant rollatini, gnocchi in vodka cream, and linguine with mussels draw repeat regulars who treat the strip-mall room like a neighborhood joint; portions are generous and prices stay honest. The one caveat: consistency wobbles across dishes — calzones and the alfredo can underwhelm while the pizza soars, so first-timers do well to lead with a slice.
