If you're in Charleston, do not miss Lola's. Fantastically creative and delicious artisan pizzas and a super friendly staff. I live in Virginia but this place literally made me wish for a moment that I lived in South hill, so I could be a regular there. The nice big patio outside is very pet friendly and there are more than a couple dog lovers on the staff. Great experience overall and deserving of 5 stars. read more

I picked up the pizzas from this cute little restaurant up in the mountains. The hostess was very friendly and accommodated. Definitely will come back next time I pass by. read more

Lola's will always hold a special spot in my heart as it was the OG of gourmet pizza spots here in Charleston, imo. The menu is simple and tried & true. Love the white sangria. Salads are so yummy. Just has a really good vibe. Mike medley is just ok. Jk he's great. Go stop by and say hey to him and grab a pie! read more

I can't think of a single bad thing to say about this place. Food is awesome. The drink selection is awesome. Great craft beers and lots of wines as well as delicious specialty cocktails. The staff is always friendly. read more

After a week-long road trip with the kids and eating a variety of foods we were ready just for some pizza. Liked the sound of good pizza in a quaint cottage from the reviews. Lola's is a little off the highway, and you feel like the GPS is taking you someplace wrong. But trust it. Up the hill into a cute wooded neighborhood is this hipster pizza cottage with a locals' feel. The pizza is good even though they did mess up two of the three made-to-order pizzas we had. The other two we ordered were from their specialty list. Probably stick with those if you don't want to risk them messing anything up. Not the most amazing pizza in the world, but very good. Definitely worth the stop, if for no other reason than to take a break from the highway and enter into an area of Charlston you might not otherwise see. read more

Great service, good menu. The salads were awesome. The pizza is good, but I would have liked the crust a little more crispy. It is very small place, so probably better to go in an off time. Good select of beverages with some local brews. And there is a girl there that looks like Kieria Knightly, so that is good. read more

Great pizza's, great setting and best of all super service. Everybody in our group was hungry for hearty food after a cross country flight and stopped here on my daughter's recommendation. Friendly, fast to serve and the pizzas hit the spot perfectly. Good ingredients, good size for "small" but not over stuffing. Our group tried 3 different ones downed with their sangria which it's wine and sweetness worked well with the pizza ingredients. Thought about beer but wanted something that didn't fill me up quickly. Left the place happy to be here. Not the easiest places to find. Worth the winding drive fir sure. read more

Pizza is good. I like pizza. Service is pretty good. They super nice, just a little slow for pizza. Great location, BUT, parking can be limited. read more

Top-notch pizza served by the hands of welcoming staff. With one pizza split among three people, a large salad is enough. They offer Ellen's ice cream for dessert! I would recommend you walk there, if you can, as parking can be a bit of a hassle. Arrive early - this place is hopping, and for good reason! read more

We stopped by for a break and a meal during a long trip home. Great pizza - the dough, in particular, was excellent. They also were great with our two-year old son. read more

Best little South Hills hide away. The sangria is a must try with the goat cheese salad. So many unique delicious pizza's, you'll be so happy you tried it :) read more

Relaxing casual dining in Bridge Street. We sat outside. The trees keep the outside shaded and cool. Our server was very friendly and helpful. The pizza came with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, which is very good. Will definitely come again when in the area. read more

FINALLY found a pizza we love! Great service, cute atmosphere, and friendly staff! Going to be our new go-to place!

We have been to Lola's many times. Living in the area has its perks. But, I just don't get how the 5 star ratings are still coming. I love their sangria, the atmosphere, the eclectic ingredients. This last time, we ordered the meatball pizza and Monroe County beef pizza. The verdict? Bland. Really bland. Not bad at all. But, both were just ok. Given the ingredients, I really feel like there should be more flavor and it's just not there. I want them to do well, but I just can't see fighting the crowds (why???) for this pizza. read more

The pizza was amazing. The crust was light and crispy. Delicious and fresh artisan pizza options. Very cute inside.

Well I love the taste and quality of the food (and service overall) however they forgot the goat cheese on my -goat cheese- salad. The taste of the vinaigrette dressing was spectacular, and the salmon I had ordered for the salad was cooked wonderfully. The beer selection impressed me, many good craft brews. I would recommend this place to a younger crowd in search of a modern-styled pizza place. Really good for a night out. read more

Great pizza, innovative salads and cute atmosphere. Ate outside on our way home from williamsburg and it was a delightful stop.

Excellent pizza and salads. Friendly service. Come early. Not a large number of tables.

First, I've to admit I've never eaten their food. My rating is based on their service. Based on the awesome reviews of their pizza, my wife, children, and I decided to stop here for lunch around 1pm on a Sunday. The place was crowded. We waited for over 10mins and no one spoke to us. We were standing at the entrance close to the bar. I don't understand that four workers walked past us a few times and no one said a word to us! They were so busy making Bellinis that they failed to see there are other customers waiting. I know about 65% of restaurant income comes from alcohol sold, so this could be why we and other customers were ignored. In the end the other customers and us decided to leave. I don't care if the food is good or not, but a bad service can ruin your dining experience. read more

I had the privilege of hanging out with some friends in Charleston and they took me and my daughter to Lola's. Here are my stars: 1) Pan Seared Goat Cheese Salad 2) Sausage and Onion Pizza 3) Flourless Chocolate Cake 4) Awesomely homey yet edgy ambiance 5) Fine and slightly quirky staff All in all, if I ever get back that way, Lola's is a MUST for a meal or two. And here's an extra hint, if you go when there is a WVU game, you will be sure to get a seat. Seriously. read more

Where do I begin? Let's start with the parking. We didn't have problems parking since we arrived before the dinner rush, however, if you are planning on arriving any time after say... 6, you will have problems parking. Inside you find a pretty cramped seating area. We were put in the tiny room to the left of the front door along with a party of about 12 loud women who were out celebrating either a baby shower or bachelorette party - I couldn't tell. Regardless, they were loud and that tiny room didn't help the noise level at all. I had difficulty hearing my wife talking to me across the table. Now, we are usually the ones worried about making too much noise at restaurants since we usually have all four kids in tow, but this room/group set the bar very high. I told my kids to not worry about talking too loud, no one would ever hear you. Ok, on the the food. Lola's has a decent selection of beer, including local brews - gold star for them for supporting local breweries! The wine list looked ok, a bit over priced per glass, but ok. A couple salads and small plate appetizers are available but we didn't try them, we were there for the pizza! Aaaaand we were let down. The crust was nice, but the edges were too done and burnt in places. Once past the edges though it had a nice flavor. Toppings were average - nothing special. Our service was pretty bad, we saw our waitress 4 times - when we arrived and ordered drinks and ordered, when she brought out pies, and when she brought our check and returned with the copy to sign. That's it. Since we no longer live in the area, we probably won't be back as there are better pizza places in Charleston. read more

Thankfully the South Hills Secret is Out of the Bag. Carrie and friends have done something amazing, pleased those in South Hills and those coming up the Hill with her quaint pizzeria tucked in the middle of Charleston's South Hills area. Many accuse the area of being pretentious. Lola's is anything but. Carrie uses fresh, local ingredients to create pizza and salad works of art. Her blend of speciality cheese and herbs and spices add to the overall zing of any item that you purchase. If you haven't been, you really must go. May I suggest a wonderful glass of red, a goat cheese salad, and the eggplant pizza. read more

Their parking is a pain in the rear, and I went on a slow day! That said, our server (RJ) was really great and the food was delicious. I got the goat cheese and artichoke and my husband got a steak and cheese. Mmmm. Really nice selection of beers as well and the cozy decor is great for date night. Oh, and try the creme brulee! It's really amazing. read more

5 star service and pizza. All ingredients are from the local area. The salad was incredible. Big city sophistication in a nice hamlet area near the state forest. Come early and come hungry. The homemade sangria as good as being in Segovia. A true charleston treat. read more

Their food is good but their seating is horrible; they have tiny tables and chairs more fit for children, certainly not suitable for normal adults. Was invited there again but declined due to the tiny children's play furniture. read more

Lola's is a fantastic pizza place! Try the seared goat cheese salad. And arrive early or be prepared to wait. Fun to visit as a small group but the confined space means no big groups. read more

The pizza is good, but i have to put 4 stars for the entire experience. The wait at 730pm on a friday was a grueling hour and a half. We were promised 1 hour and were all famished when that hour came and passed with no update in sight. Had we known we wouldnt be seated until after 9pm, we would have easily placed a to-go order, or headed downtown to the comparable if not better Pies n Pints pizza joint. When we were finally seated, the service was quick as if to be apologetic. We ordered 3 pizzas and the hands down best, by consensus, was the Hawaiian. Sausage and Onion was also good. The ingredients are high quality and the crust is thin but not overly crunchy. In short this seems like a great place to carry out. You aren't missing a lot of ambiance by not eating in, and its assuredly not worth a wait. read more

We stayed in Charleston last night mid roadtrip, and this restaurant was just the loveliest rest stop! The goat cheese appetizer was very yummy as everyone's been saying, but for me the highlights were the portobella pesto pizza (also w/goat cheese and whole roasted garlic cloves), the Harpoon 100 Barrel Rye IPA as recommended by our server, and the coconut creme brûlée. The atmosphere was totally cozy with a funky twist, and the staff were super friendly and quick to offer after-dinner bar suggestions. read more

I love this place!! The fried goat cheese "salad" is probably one of my top ten favorite foods ever! All the pizzas are fantastic too and have very unique ingredients. I think they are in the process of opening up their patio area too which will be really nice since the interior is so small right now. Whenever I visit Charleston, this is a place I HAVE to go to !!! Can't wait to go back next year! read more

Salad, pizza-whatever you are craving, head to Lola's. Though the pizza is creative and tasty, let's focus on the salads. The Roasted Beet Salad is splendid. The candied walnuts in combination with mixed greens, goat cheese, beets (of course) and a special vinaigrette dressing are tasteful and refreshing. I would recommend adding shrimp to the salad though it is an additional charge. The salad isn't large enough to share but is enough to count as a meal if you're opting for something lighter. When Lola's is crowded, the inside seating can be a little tight and service can be stretched, but the chill environment and food itself is worth the wait for a local and quality restaurant like this. read more

Visiting Charleston from MI for a family wedding. Searched Yelp for a great local restaurant and found Lola's. So glad we went! While the wait was over an hour due to the building being so small, it ended up being totally worth it! Service was fantastic, and the food was amazing. The sangria and beer selection was perfect for waiting outside. We enjoyed the goat cheese salad, spring rolls and salad special of the day. We also enjoyed the pesto portobello pizza, steak and onion and ground beef pizzas. Apparently the kitchen burnt our pizzas so we enjoyed free drinks during the short wait for our pizzas to come out. They were incredible! We also enjoyed sharing each dessert on the menu. Our favorite was the peanut butter chocolate tart. I would go back in a heartbeat. We were also highly impressed with the staff. We were in a pinch while waiting for our hotel shuttle to come and get us and they not only let us use their phone but personally called for us. Thanks for a great evening! read more

This place is so adorable and the food is very good!! They have quaint outside seating with white lights in the evening. I had the goat cheese salad which was delicious. My husband and son ordered the Ham and Pineapple pizza -- also delicious!! U must try this place! read more

Pizza here is fine. I dont understand what all the hype is about, I'd rather eat Pies and Pints. Lola's does have good sangria!

Even better than Pies & Pints! Lola's is set in what seems like somebody's house, which is substantiated by very homey-feeling service. The pizza itself is a little greasy but otherwise very delicious. I had the portabella pesto pizza (with pepperoni) and I loved how well the the different ingredients went together (especially the cheese, though I can't recall specifically what it was - ricotta maybe?). It's also worth noting that I usually hate mushrooms but they went perfectly on this pizza. One other menu item worth noting - the kale salad. It is perfectly dressed and has a bit of cheese for flavor, but still manages to be a very healthy and flavorful starter option. read more

In my opinion, the best restaurant in Charleston. We've been here many times, but never more than once a month. Still, several workers remember who we are & what we like. The wait can be long-ish on a busy night, especially if you've come in a group. The restaurant feels like a small house, so seating is limited. But they set up a charming front patio area where you can grab a drink from the bar & wait. I've never waited longer than it takes to finish one drink. Their drink selection is always good. They usually have a couple of drinks from Rogue brewing & Sierra Nevada. I usually go with the rogue good chit pilsner. They also have a wine selection that I haven't really delved into, but my gf switches between the red & white sangrias each time she goes. Both are good & very sweet. I start every meal here with the pan-seared goat cheese salad. That shit is amazeballs. It's not a lola's experience of you don't get that. All of the pies that I've tried here are great, but I'm sticking with the steak & cheese with jalapeños from now on. Make sure to ask for parmesan, they'll grate some off for you in a small bowl. I can just eat a bowl of that by itself. read more

Nice ambiance and service. Thin crust pizzas are the best! Although none of us were hungry we finished both the large pies!

I've been here about 5 times now, and it's still, hands down, my favorite pizza place around. There's plenty of interesting vegetarian options, and every pizza I've tried has been delicious. My favorite pizza there now is the Gorgonzola Rosemary Fig. It's amazing. The goat cheese salad and sangria are also top-notch (the sangria is stronger than normal- It's made with a dry red wine. It's fantastic). Their crème brulee is also delicious. The parking lot is still the same- tricky to get in and out of, and small. If I go when I think Lola's will be busy, I park up the road. Also, while I have seen large groups there, there's not tons of space, so I try to only go with small groups. read more

Not a huge puzzle person but thought these were awesome! Ordered a Togo order yesterday of 5 small pizzas. The fig sauce pizza was different but really good. The only thing I would change is not so much fig sauce I had to take some off. But the pineapple and ham pizza was my favorite! My grandparents live here and I'm from Richmond, Va you should consider putting one there! read more

An excellent experience every time! The changing pizza combinations are well-thought out and well-prepared. Don't just get pepperoni, although very good, that's not the point of the place. The converted small house ambiance is excellent, but cramped. The bar is in the first room and has filled up with wall-to-wall people at times, making it hard to pay the bill and get to the exit. I agree with Luther F.'s review - MUCH better than Pies & Pints. Arrive early or you will have to stand around on the yard/gravel lot. Waiting in the rain? Sorry, once the porch fills up you're wet. Bottom Line: the food trumps all - excellent pizza. read more
