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. read more

very excited to try Coastal Crust on James Island for the first time. Ordered to go for my family for dinner. Service was great at first, but I asked for some bread with pasta, she said it doesn't come with that ordered. Then I was like uh oh, this isn't going to be good. when we opened our food, well let's just say it was mediocre at best. Come on man, give a little heart to what you cook. Spaghetti w Meatballs and Bolognese should be your signature pasta dish; they are top of the menu so y'all must sell a lot and to a lot of families of 4 or more. $100 bucks out the door with a tip. Whoever the chef and behind the line needs to step it up. Not going again for that. Dissappointing. read more

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. read more

This place was close to where we were staying and had great reviews. We ordered the pizza with spicy sausage to go. The crust..... it was.....amazing. Can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

We enjoyed our visit to Coastal Crust in James Island! Our excellent server Brie (BJ) served us great meals and took great care of us. The whole staff was friendly and funny. Our grandkids loved the outdoor play area. We'll be back! read more

Great Za and good vibes. Noah is the absolute man! Super chill and very attentive. Anything from the kitchen to front of the house, he quickly addresses it and keeps the vibes cool. Definitely check this place out if you want some pie and good vibes! read more

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. read more

Coastal Crust - Thought I'd try a second piece but I couldn't finish it either. Too burnt on the bottom and not crisp at all. - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

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! read more

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

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. read more

Quite disappointed in my recent experience at Coastal Crust this past weekend. I tried to place an online order which has been down for quite sometime. I just find it more convenient to order online if possible. I then tried calling which it was busy for at least 15 minutes. No big deal-just decided to drive on up and order. Placed my order and headed over to Odyssey as the bar was packed at CC. It was a beautiful night so outside was packed too. I ordered the supremo, caesar salad, and the fig and prosciutto pizza. Waited about 25 minutes and came back to pick up. I've never checked my order before I left but guess I should have. Took my food over to meet some friends and realized the caesar was nothing more than a bunch of lettuce and barely anything else not even dressing. The fig and prosciutto was on point luckily! The supremo may have had 4 pepperoni's and a few sausage pieces. It was laughable the amount of meat on it. At this point we were all starving and did not feel like taking the food back. I get being busy but this was unacceptable. I absolutely love this place but feel like they need to adjust some things before the nice weather is upon us as they will continue to be busy every weekend. Hoping it was just an off night.. read more

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!! read more

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! read more

Love the fig pizza. Lots of quality options. Great outdoor seating area as well for families

Third time at Coastal Crust on James Island, and can't wait for the fourth. The staff is always friendly, and we haven't had a pie that we did not like. I keep it pretty simple when it comes to pizza, but I enjoy the variety of elevated pizzas that this establishment has. Also tried the wings and was surprised with their crispiness and overall great flavor. read more

Pizza is great straight from the oven. Service is generally pleasant and well intentioned. Family friendly inside and outside but also a great spot for quick easy date night or solo feast but sit inside for quicker service if that's your focus. read more

The pizza has definitely improved in the past couple of months. The crust has always been good but the toppings were minimal before. The last 2 times we ordered the pizzas were delicious. Such an improvement! read more

Lots of opportunities to improve! The waitresses, all very young, need to be taught how to be good wait staff. Sweet girls, but mostly. clueless. Asked for pepper, they brought it. By itself. Had to ask for salt later. This is important because I had to add salt to the spaghetti and meatballs. A few shreds of Parmesan. When asked for shredded parm, she told me they didn't have it. Well, they do, just not extra for customers. We got grated parm from the fridge, and it had no taste-no sharpness or any flavor. You have to ask for ice. That's just one of my personal pet peeves. We're not in Europe. While our waitress was really good at clearing dishes, I also know that she thought one of the other waitresses had cool shoes. We were the ONLY people seated in the main area, maybe have your conversations away from us. And it would be nice for you to make eye contact, so we don't have to continually speak up when we needed something. Again, simple training. The only adult looked like she was the bartender/manager? She joined in their chit chat, and then had friends come in. (So, even though she had been in the food area with her hair up - which is good - she took at down, ran her fingers through it. I'm gonna bet she did not wash her hands before handling food or making drinks. As for the food, the chicken with all a vodka had some good flavor with tender chicken. As for the aforementioned spaghetti.... The meatballs were good. Sauce? Meh. And I don't think the pasta was fresh. It needed salt and I NEVER add salt. So, it'll take me a year to forget that I was not impressed. And we'll come back, in 365 or more days. I hope they train before then... read more

We enjoyed pizza and beers on the patio after a long day of travel. We got the cheese and grandma pie, and my kids loved them. The Brussel sprouts were also delicious. My 3 year old was so happy to have a soccer field with mini nets right next to the restaurant to play on while we waited too. Very family friendly place! read more

Loved that they had Alagash White on tap. Specialty pizza (basil pesto) was excellent. Service was fast and not a long wait for the pizza.

Amazing pizza! I love coming to Coastal Crust for a high quality wood fired pizza. The only thing that I don't love are the prices. Unfortunately it isn't very affordable, especially considering the portion sizes. Great food and atmosphere though! read more

Tried calling several times to place a take out order, no one answered. We drove and placed the order: was estimated 40 minutes and was told we would be called if it was sooner. I go back in at 50 minutes because we never heard from them, and they said it would be a few more minutes. 1hr15 minutes I go back in and it's finally ready l; the hostess apologized for the wait saying their system was having problems. The food was completely cold. We live 5minutes away (literally under 2 miles). The food was good once we heated it back up. We will eventually give the place another try, strictly dine in for that occasion. read more

It was a beautiful early afternoon, the sun is in such a good mood radiating southern hospitality. Stopping at a random shopping plaza, walked into a random restaurant. Pizza was delicious. It is savory, thinly crusted, and hitting the spot. The cannoli is so yummy, accompanied by a perfectly brewed cup of hot coffee. That marks the ending of a happy meal. read more

Solid local wood fired pizza. Would highly recommend! Pizza and appetizers were delicious and well priced.

I believe I've had them as a food truck before and it was phenomenal. This time around we had a Locals coupon for a free meatball appetizer. I'm convinced that whenever someone else writes that the specific food is amazing it almost kills my chance of feeling the same way because I have such high expectations. I thought the meatballs were good, just not as amazing as what some others may think. LOL. We also tried the bread service, which is not bad at all! I don't know if it's my jam enough to get it again, but just out of preference. The pesto was really good. The pizza... now that's why you come here... we got the Mushroom Bianca which has truffle oil, house-made ricotta, garlic, cremini and oyster mushrooms and fresh basil and it was legit. I am that weirdo that would generally never choose pizza, but I would regularly and happily eat this pizza. It is not a floppy sloppy cheap ingredient $5 pizza... it's a legit, enjoyable, fancy pants yummy in my tummy pizza. I definitely plan to be back for more pizza. I got a drink when I was there too that had gin and St. Germaine... I'm not a gin person, but the drink was legit as well... they do have outdoor seating, although we enjoyed the nice cushy indoor booth. read more

A good pizza option on the island. Service was very friendly, and they have a large outdoor space that was popular with families when we were there. Pizza was pretty good, and they had a small beer selection on tap. One thing to note, with their liquor license they can't serve hard alcohol on Sundays, only things like wine and beer. Kitchen and pizza making is fairly visible from the small bar they have inside, so neat to see them making your pizza. Worth giving them a try. read more

Buyer Beware! I just paid $9.99 for a draft Peroni! I tipped the bartender $1.00 because they do not establish the pricing. So, all in $10.99 for a draft beer! Disgraceful. There is a chalkboard on the wall that advertises the beer and ABV but not the price! Evidently, all draft beers are $9.99 including tax. I sure do miss the Hideaway! Hopefully this is not a sign of how pricing will be at what could be a great neighborhood hangout for the working people on James Island. Coastal Crust....You should be ashamed. read more

Pizza is, of course, a very personal taste - but everyone loves their pizzas. Homemade dough, nicely salted, with fresh-tasting oil in the crust, wonderfully crisped. I have only had the grandma's pizza (basically a margarita with sauce instead of fresh tomato slices), but my daughter says others are just as good - as does our granddaughters. Had a wonderful special salad with watermelon, feta, greens, with a sprinkling of basil olive oil and drops of honey. Rather expensive at $14, but unusual and well done. Tap selection of beers was reasonable, but price, again, a bit high. $9 for a draft is a bit over the top. Service was fast and friendly and the place clean and bustling. Prices will keep us from coming here as often as I would like, but we do want to come back to try some of their pasta dishes. They looked great and folks I asked said they were delicious. read more

Coastal Crust on Harbor View Road on James Island is a great place for fresh wood fire pizza. Every pizza and other menu is delicious and well made. I am always impressed with everything that they do every time that I come here. They have a really cool atmosphere with the indoor restaurant and the outdoor space that has plenty of room and even a play area that is even more fun. I have had a really good experience every time I have come here and they are well worth it for some of the best pizza in the area. read more

Been there twice in a week and both times excellent. Pizza one visit and had 3 options. Hawaiian was great. No pineapple on my side. The Bianca something or other with mushrooms was great as well. The 3rd had 3 different meats I think and again, perfect. My second visit we did finer dining and I had the gnocchi. Especially tasty. This place has great food and good atmosphere. We'll be back and probably soon. read more
