After hearing about the news of Chef Nico Romo’s third concept coming soon, which specializes in 'za + other Italian dishes, we just knew we had to get saucy with today's lead story.
The Holy City might be known for some good old shrimp ‘n grits + she crab soup, and pizza may not be the first thing that comes to mind. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some really good options.
We did some digging to find a few of the best local pizza spots around town and we’re sharing the knead-to-knows. |

In case y’all haven’t heard: Poke Burri is the place to be.
City Editor Lexa here. I recently stopped by Poke Burri in The Victory building in West Ashley for a Friday night sushi burrito + some crab rangoons off of the secret menu, and I have to tell you: I was floored.
Dropping this pic here because I feel like it speaks for itself. In case you aren’t sold, I got the Demogorgon sushi burrito and I went to sleep dreaming about the meal. Check it out at 835 Savannah Hwy. — you won’t be disappointed.
