What locals are saying
Orlando's Pizza on Mathis Ferry Rd is broadly regarded by locals as the best NY/NJ-style pizza in the Mt Pleasant area, with regulars praising the crispy hand-tossed crust, punchy sauce, fast service, and solid lunch specials. Criticism is mostly minor — some reviewers flag inconsistency on non-pizza items (burnt knots, bland topping combos, a weak cocktail), and a handful note the cheese could be better — but repeat customers and enthusiast pizza reviewers consistently rank it among the top pies in Charleston County.
On socials
Social chatter and food-community posts consistently crown Orlando's as the best NY-style pizza in the Charleston/Mt. Pleasant area — the phrase 'best pizza in South Carolina' surfaces repeatedly. The cheesy garlic knots are the runaway must-order app (scored an 8.1 on One Bite, called a 'must-try' and a 'damn banger' across multiple posts), while the BBQ Chicken pizza with cheddar, red onions, and peppadew peppers and the Buffalo Chicken pizza draw the most specific dish-level praise. Creators and reviewers tell their audiences to ask for the pie 'well done' for maximum char and crunch. A small but recurring note: center-crust flop on standard bake and occasional inconsistency on specialty halves.
