Word on the street
What locals are saying
Owner Michael Pitera — Long Island native, U.S. Pizza Team member — built a following with his West Ashley location before planting a flag in rural Hollywood, SC, where his second spot doubles as a morning cafe and afternoon pizzeria. Dough ships from New York twice a week, and the shop commits to shutting down the pizza menu the moment it runs out rather than compromise; sell-outs are routine, so arriving early isn't just advice, it's policy. The courtyard with a fire pit and a working herb garden, plus a craft espresso bar using locally roasted beans, gives the Hollywood spot a dimension the original doesn't have — though the tight indoor footprint can press against capacity on busy days.
