    GIANT SLICES! This is the go to spot for quick and giant slices of pizza late at night. I wouldn't necessarily come here for sit down pizza but it is a delicious late night pizza. We went here two night in a row in fact!

    The downtown location has worse everything than the other Benny's locations. I stopped in after a walk down king to grab a slice and the staff are definitely not very nice here. The pizza is okay, warm but not hot. I asked for a cup for water and they told me they can't give cups or tap water to customers, you can only buy a bottle of water. You do get your food fast, but thats the extent of the good service. The staff seemed annoyed that anyone was coming in and it was only 9pm, so I'll stick to the Mount pleasant Benny's where the staff is awesome and the food is hot.

    Gigantic pizza to go!

    Had a super delicious slice of sausage pizza to go. Huge! The counter person was swamped but held it all together with aplomb. A couple of stools to sit on, not very comfortable so I took my slice back to my hotel. Crispy crust and great flavor!

    Cheese Slice

    Customer service was good no issues with any type of communication. Definitely not no wait even though it was packed. Got to love how big these slices are. Not chewy or saggy in the middle, perfect crunch. If you are up for a challenge you can try to eat the 28" pizza in 28 minutes for some money. Definitely would recommend and go back

    The pizza was HUGE, we ordered 3 for our staff and it was plenty. They delivered it in a timely manner via Uber eats. But of course as big as it was and being togo, it didn't arrive remotely hot, barely warm. Which is fine bc I don't have to eat it hot, but honestly it was just average to ME. This may be your style of pizza but not exactly mine. Large slices that you can fold easily to eat, but just pretty bland and ok. I do want to come back and maybe try a slice in house to see if it's that much better. For now this is my experience with it togo.

    Ok I know many will question a five star rating for a slice joint in Charleston. But hear me out I have lived on slices all over the country before. This place has what you want, and only that and nothing else. They make like five things. They have a special slice and cheese and a couple meats and mushroom. But the slices are huge and really good. So big the great gal servicing the counter talked my teen out of getting two. The special was the Mighty Olive and had gobs of what amounted to green and black olive tapanade. Perfect salt level. I had to cut the slice into like five or six pieces and fold each one to eat it. They have a dark wood space with limited seating but it's a good window to people watch from. If you just want a slice get one. Not two!

    I've been to Charleston twice in the last couple of years and my wife and I go out of our way to grab a slice at Benny's. Excellent slice of pizza, decent price. Great for grabbing a simple lunch while walking down King.

    Great giant pizza.

    Great pizza, outstanding service when we ordered. The atmospheres was what you would expect from a pizza place. Outstanding NY style pizza.

    Garlic mushroom, pepperoni, and sausage

    Pizza was great and crispy but needed more sauce in my opinion. Loved the slice sizes! Workers didn't seem too thrilled to be there but they got all of our needs met and the food came out fast! The decor in the building is very unique and vibey. The music was great lots of tame impala! Would recommend for a quick pizza stop if you're staying downtown!

    Just got 2 slices for $15 with box, not worth it. Maybe it's because I'm from New York but not worth $15 for 2 slices. Never again

    Since leaving the Boston area 22 years ago, I'm always in search of the best northern-like pizza…read more Tutti was a shocking surprise. The crust was the perfect combination of crispy on the bottom and chewy on top. The sauce and toppings were excellent and every pizza gets topped with the freshest basil leaves pulled right off the little sprigs. We were lucky enough to sit at the counter which gave us a fabulous view of the staff, ovens and prep area. I can not stress enough how delicious the food was. The Caesar salad was by far the best I've ever had. The head of romaine was precisely cut into equal slices and the dressing was tucked inside, the shredded cheese and finely grated croutons were generously sprinkled on top. It was truly fantastic. We finished with a mixed order of 6 small cannolis, three were traditional and three had fresh strawberries blended in the cheese filling for a delicious twist on a long time favorite. The staff was so friendly and accommodating and really seemed delighted that we chose Tutti for our dinner. There's a designated parking lot so no need to worry about downtown parking problems. Tutti has been added to my short list of favorite pizza in Charleston. Check it out soon. I'm confident you will not be disappointed.

We stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner and the service did not match our past experiences. Our usual waitress Nadia was not there and she always makes us feel so welcome and taken care of. This time our server was very inattentive. We had to ask for water refills and were not offered fresh plates after finishing our salad. We had to request them ourselves! She only checked on us once even though the restaurant was pretty empty. It was disappointing because we have had such great experiences here before. The food is still fantastic but the service was terrible. Yuck!

I love the inside decor, reminds me of a restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. There is a fantastic long bar to sit at, and the cocktail service is top notch. I always enjoy the Last Word here, while my husband enjoys the negroni sour. On our recent visit we enjoyed the Stretch Armstrong pizza. We were pleasantly surprised by the tomato sauce, and that stracciatella cheese was perfect gooeyness of flavor. We shared a beautiful lettuce salad, but it did not appeal to us; too much frisee. Entrees though were the stars, I had the mafalde with heritage pork and veal bolognese. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente, and its cut easily held the bolognese sauce. There was a delightful spiciness to it also. Then my husband had the cacio e pepe bucotini. This rich sauce was made with plenty of butter, parmigiana reggiano and pecorino romano. Yum! With all that we had to end with dessert, and we enjoyed the zabaglione and cherry chocolate budino. The budino was the winner, with delicious cherries hidden inside the thick chocolate dessert. We've also enjoyed espresso martinis before, but did not order tonight. Melfi's is a gem of Italian elegance in flavor, service and ambience. We will continue to return and experience it again.

    I will preface this by saying that I have a bad habit of visiting restaurants at weird times (4pm…read morein this case), after lunch but before they get into the groove of dinner service. So it's entirely possible (and understandable) that I don't always get the best of what a place has to offer. That said, this was the worst pizza I've ever eaten. I was happy to see a place offer NY style pizza by the slice; you don't find that a lot in Charleston. Well, you won't find it here either. It was, generously, a home cook's first attempt at making pizza. There's something fundamentally off with the dough recipe, such that even a wood fired oven can't save it. The slices were overloaded with cheese. It was like eating wet cardboard. The meatballs were pretty good! The bartender was super pleasant and the space is attractive and welcoming. But they cannot make pizza. Normally I'm loathe to air out my business on Yelp like this; I prefer to communicate with the server if there's a problem with my food. But this wasn't an execution issue that could be fixed. A do-over would've produced the same result. Maybe, MAYBE they crush it with the neopolitan specialty pies. But I'll never know.
