    Pepperoni with whipped ricotta, basil and hot honey
    Heather A.

    Good pizza, love the unique topping options. It's better when dining in though. The crust can get a little soggy when ordering for take out. The pasta, apps and wine list are great! Staff is always friendly. Worth wine place to go for a slightly more than casual date night.

    Spaghetti and meatballs. Meatballs are juicy and full of flavor

    We were in town to drop the kid off for college. My work colleague lives in Charleston and has been wanting to try this place, so off we went. 3 stars because this is like the tale of 2 different restaurants. 5 stars to the food! The pizza's were really yummy. Cooked well and that sauce is so balanced! Not too sweet, not too much acid. They are generous with the cheese as well. Order the Grandma though and thank me later. One of our party ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. He said they were the best meatballs he's had in years! Not dry, but pleasantly juicy and flavorful. 1 star for the service. Our server was certainly nice and friendly, but she was also absent for most of the meal. She didn't know the bar (when we were ordering drinks, she had to go back and ask several times about what they had - come on, Bacardi is not exotic), and we had to flag someone else down for water refills, etc. Never checked on us either, just asked if everything was OK when we got the check. I would chalk it up to a new server or something, but prior reviews have mentioned the service, and not in a good way. So a 3 it is. We would definitely go to Coastal Crust for the food, but maybe in a different location.

    THE BREAD SERVICE, 10/10! That's our favorite part, you cannot go wrong with bread and delicious spreads. It's a cute little spot, our kids really enjoy their pizza and outside seating area.

    Pathetic pizza

    $40 !!!! Pathetic pizza - no cheese, 2 pieces of sausage Terrible salad Never going back!

    Great outdoor option for families with children, with picnic tables, running and playing space, but not great for those who DON'T want kids running around. Our drinks were forgotten about, the food came out before our drinks arrived (we were still charged for them). Pizza was not bad for the area, but was lacking flavor and crisp (very soft undercarriage). I had higher expectations, given the proper pizza oven they have. We ordered 2 pizzas and they came out about 15 minutes apart. Live music always gets us motivated to try new places, so that was a plus. But not sure I'd come back.

    Thought I'd try a second piece but I couldn't finish it either.  Too burnt on the bottom and not crisp at all.

    I am visiting Charleston for 10 days. I had high hopes for the wood-fired pizza at Coastal Crust. There were a few patrons at the bar, which seemed cozy. And the young lady who greeted me and took my order was very nice. That's where the good stopped. The pizza was not crusty nor crispy but "floppy" when you picked it up. It was burned on the bottom, and the crust, as well, in places on the top. The top would've been okay as it was easily picked off, but the bottom being burnt made the pizza inedible for the most part. I love wood-fired, but it shouldn't taste burned and still be floppy. The meatball slices were nothing to write home about either. It sounded so good on the menu. I am disappointed. I was really looking forward to a decent pizza.

    Went back again this Friday for some wine and pizza. The outside area is so nice especially for the kids and the pizza is delicious! Here's the problem... The wine pours are tiny. They barely give a half glass of wine and at $11-12 per glass, it's just not worth it. We decided to end the night with a glass inside and the pour was almost double. I suggest going inside for your wine or we can hope they read this review and train the bartender on what a proper pour in the plastic glass is!

    We got a GF mushroom Bianca, it was pretty okay. Maybe like 10 mushrooms on the whole pizza. I expected and was hoping for more. Crust is a tough once it cools. Barely any toppings. I was kinda disappointed. Don't go here if you want to make a custom pizza. They don't have olives or peppers or hamburger. They only have the ingredients for the other pizzas. They're a specialty pizza place, not your average papa John's. This is a no-go for picky eaters, unless you just want cheese.... Our waiter was helpful and nice. And definitely let us in the loop of all the toppings they don't have. The seating was comfy, the decorations and flowers were cute and tables were set up.

    If you're in the mood for a classic wood fired Neapolitan style pizza look no further! Coastal Crust on James Island is a great place with lots of dining space~ both indoor and out. CC offers great salads, small plates, antipasto plates, add the bread "flight" with three types of blended oil dips, pasta/ shrimp dish, chicken parmesan. Classic spaghetti and meatballs and of course the variety of pizzas will have you returning and wanting more. The ingredients are present and are all fresh and local right down to the tomatoes! I ordered the arugula salad which was wonderful-- I loved the small sides of basil pesto and whipped ricotta touches in the salad. The balsamic drizzle added a sweet taste to cut the bitter arugula ( although I love the bitterness of arugula) however I did ask for the house white balsamic vinaigrette in order to blend the salad together and moisten it a bit. I did add grilled chicken for some protein and the chicken was grilled perfectly. All in all CC will be a "go to" for me as they have proven to be consistently good and take no shortcuts with quality and presentation of their food. The Fig and Prosciutto pizza is such a different type of pie and I love that combo. As per the name of the establishment you don't have to worry about the crust crispness, it'll be there! Servers are plentiful, helpful and efficient. The kitchen aims to please so no worries....~great wines and a great selection of local craft beers are available too!!

    We opted to sit out on the patio. Next time we will bring our dog! Lots of people had their dogs and kids playing outside. We ordered two pizzas and had some beers. Both pizzas were really good, however they were still pretty floppy. Next time I'd ask for them to be cooked just slightly longer. Otherwise we loved it and will def be back!

    Gluten free crust not safe for celiacs. They are unable to cook the gf crust on any type of barrier to prevent cross contamination.

    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.
