The Pizza Factory is a Mauldin staple- they've been around forever (expect for the hiatus where they moved locations). They haven't done many renovations to their current location- so it looks identical to the old Pizza Hut inside. One of my favorite parts about the pizza factory is the salad bar. They have tons of toppings and everything is fresh. The pizza is made fresh to order and is packed full of flavor. My favorite one to get is the supreme. They also have beer on tap if you're looking for a brew too! read more

I truly wish I could give this place negative stars. It looks like a dive & it truly is. There were rat droppings in the bathroom. I saw small roaches near the counter. I did not see them until I went to complain that I had hair in my pizza!! I should have realized it would be nasty when the exterior looked so run down. I try to not judge a book by its cover but this should have been a red flag. We walked in & the host was incredibly rude. Her name was Lydia. The man who came to speak to me about the hair claimed he was the owner. Well his attitude was terrible. I'm a paying customer & I'm showing you disgusting hair in my pizza & he just blows it off.... I guess I should have checked Yelp reviews first. We ordered a medium work pizza & garlic cheese toast. If you can get past the grease pooling on the top, the cheese was like plastic. The crust was dry & tasteless. The garlic cheese toast was greasy too but not terrible. The lack of cleanliness & rudeness of staff will keep us from patronizing this dump again. I'll gladly tell everyone I know to avoid it. Matter of fact... the health department needs to shut this place down! read more

Have been going to pizza Factory for 20+ years. Love the new location. It was a Pizza Hut back in the day. All employees are great and remember us every time we go there. Service is always great. Love they still have a couple machines to play. read more

We eat there all the time with our friends and family and we love all their food! Their portions are great and the taste is even better!

I made time google this. Pizza factory has changed hands. I was not aware until eating my pizza. It tasted different. The crust seem thinner /seems to have no sauce because in picking up every slice the contents fell out. To make matters worse it was a small. If have been a patron for about 30 years. Just a word stick with the formula because it has worked for years. I was saddened. read more

Our go to Fri night pizza joint! It's the best deal in town and their pizza is great!

Keep in mind that I'm writing from my mom's account. Okie here we go. Great pizza. I had cheese pizza! You can see where I went with the fountain drinks. AND ITS CLOSE TO MY HOUSE?????!!! Even though they don't have desert, they do have jungle (badum-tsh)! read more

It's definitely not the old pizza factory (the owner closed and the new owners bought from her.) The sauce and crust used to be so sweet and now it's kind of bland. There's days where it reminds me of the old PF and then there's days where I'm super disappointed because this used to be the best pizza ever. Definitely recommend getting mediums because it's thick and has the perfect layer of cheese vs the giant being very thin read more

Great pizza. Close to my house. Priced well. Friendly staff. Has TVs and inside seating. I recommend

I ordered 2 large pizzas, a dozen of plain wings and 2/1-trip orders to the salad bar. I want to send kudos to the owner of this establishment, you have a very good coordinated operation running here. The food was superb. The dough in the pizza felt fluffy but went you eat it, it had this crispness. So good read more

Love their pizza!! Always good and fresh!! My fave is "The Works"!! Omg! It is the best!! This place is family friendly!! And the staff is courteous!! Definitely recommend! read more

We used to live in Mauldin and we used to go to the Pizza Factory every Friday night. The pizzas are so delicious. Wonderful atmosphere. The staff felt light family. read more

First time ordering, nothing special - sauce is a little too sweet and the crust is bland. It's not necessarily bad, but nothing special to get me to order again. read more

Pizza Factory - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Mauldin, South Carolina

I live out of state and been coming here for decades, it was always the best pizza, I was sad when they closed but very happy when they reopened, I went the other day and the place was empty I received my pizza and it was the first time I could truly tell that this was a new owner, new everything. My pizza was dry, no flavor just not the same. I ate two slices and threw it away. I ordered my pie walking out the airport I couldn't wait to get my favorite pizza, upon tasting it I was wondering what am I going to get for dinner? My grandma whom lives here also said the pizza didn't taste the same. Oh well it's and end of an era, time to try something else read more

Last 3 times i ate there ths pizza was burnt the cheese isnot as good as it once was too much sauce i told the new owner he said you complain too much you dont have to dine here i have been sating there 20 years when Scott Krawl and his dad had the business. It was great when it first reopened scott was running the kitchen now it taste like a cheap pizza i want be back The owner doesnt appreciate My business never once apologjzed or offered any compensation for the bad product read more

Amazing! Got the pepperoni pizza and it was great! Not from the area but will come back just for pizza Factory!

The four stars are for the pizza. The pizza is great. We like the pizza, hate the atmosphere. They allow smoking and it heavily hangs in the air. It is an old building but it always seem clean when we pick up our pizzas. This business seem to draw a good crowd in spite of the smoke. They do not accept plastic of any type. read more

Pizza Factory - Front of pizza factory - Pizza Near Me - Mauldin, South Carolina

Don't be fooled by Pizza Factory's aged exterior and dim interior - they have an "A" rating and the best pizza I've had so far in this area. Only down side of this restaurant is that they don't take credit or debit cards. The pizza isn't New York or Chicago style - it's just pizza, and it's simply all-around good. Good crust, good sauce, good cheese, and not too little or too much of anything. You really need to just try it for yourself :) read more

This is hands down the best pizza in Mauldin, for sure! Great prices and amazing pizza! This is a hidden gem!!

16 bucks, 45 minute wait to get the worst pizza I have ever had! Crust like cardboard, no sauce looked like a frozen pizza. Don't know how this place ever got so many good reviews! Maybe it used to be good......but it Sucks now! read more

I've been coming here forever. The pizza is okay, I think it's more about the nostalgia for me. Last night I went to pick up my food and they had a puppy in the KITCHEN. I am a dog lover and I understand but they were passing this puppy around while making food and that was not sanitary at all. They also don't wear masks. So just beware that it is not a sanitary restaurant. The girl at the front is very sweet. The rest of the people working there are not the nicest. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. Is it a dive?? Well not really but it's kind of like the old pizza hurts back in the day. Affordable and good. read more

Pizza Factory - Pizza Near Me - Mauldin, South Carolina

The best lunch deal! You can get a Personal Pizza, a drink, and a salad for $5.50. Be prepared though, they do not accept credit or debit cards. I get mine to go as it is noisy and smoking is allowed I think. BUT, it does have a local owned family feel to the place. read more

I've been eating here for years and one of the best things about this place -- is that is hasn't changed. It looks the same as it did when my mom took me and my brothers there after kindergarten, 24 years ago. The food hasn't changed. Actually, it never changes. Pizza Factory has perfected consistency. In all the years I've been going, the portions have remained the same and the prices are unbeatable. I can honestly say that the lunch special I got yesterday was a perfect clone of the one I got 15 years ago. So many places these days cut corners and find ways to charge more for less, but not this place. If you're one of those people who are always looking for the perfect New York style pizza, then this place is not for you -- don't expect that. Pizza Factory's pizza is a unique creation. My favorite is The Works, which (from the bottom) is a soft medium crust, sweeter sauce, layer of beef and sausage, layer of onions, olives, and mushrooms, all covered with a thick layer of cheese. A personal pan is the perfect size and is big enough that you will have to loosen your belt a notch after consuming it. I'm not going to take away a star for the smoking. Although I don't smoke, it's been a tradition there since the beginning. You can't let the smell of a cigarette get in the way of epic pizza. read more

Atmosphere is dark and smells like cigarettes. Pizza is nothing impressive. Wife states "cici's is better" it's harsh but I kind of agree. Kid loved it though. I wouldn't recommend this to a friend. read more

The pizza is pretty good. Better than your national chains. Good toppings, etc. So for takeout, it's not a bad idea. The atmosphere is what makes the Pizza Factory stand out. Smoking is allowed! What? You don't find that anymore! It smells like an old school pizza hut up in there. Definitely not a place to take a date, but if you are a smoker and want to smoke while eating decent pizza and drinking beer, this may be the only place for you! read more

The Pizza Factory opened sometime in the 1970's and I don't know if they have updated the place since. Doesn't matter. The people are super friendly and the pizza is excellent. It's not New York style or Chicago style or even Pizza Hut/domino's style, it just the Pizza Factory and for the last 30 years I have enjoyed their pizza. The Superworks is awesome, (leave off the shrimp). read more

This location is closed but Pizza Factory re-opened down the street in Mauldin. It is now located in the old Pizza Hut building next to the Post Office. The pizza was always good but right before they closed the old location, the prices went way up. We haven't tried the new location yet but we will. Hope the prices aren't sky high..... read more

Very good pizza, almost too much cheese! Agree with other reviews, do not eat there due to the smoking allowed. there is always a crowd there on the weekends. They have always gotten our order correct, we always get half one way and the other half different. Very friendly staff! read more

Have eaten here for years. Pizza and menu is awesome. The inside of restaurant is filthy and smells like cigarettes, therefore, we always take our food to go. The food is 5 stars and the facility is 1 star came to middle ground and gave 3 stars. read more

The place was nasty..didn't see anyone wash their hands...food was like it had been frozen and reheated..

Best pizza around! Fresh ingredients and great wings and salad bar! Love how they put lots of cheese on the pizzas!

Went here as a kid 30 years ago and it's just as good as I remembered! Love this place

They hung up on me three times in a row without saying a word. After I called and told the person on the fourth call, he hung up. Crazy! Just wanted a pizza for dinner. Oh well, lost my business! read more
