You almost have to like them, because they are the only pizza place in downtown Aiken...ever since Ferrando's moved out (worst decision by a local business ever!). Pro's: the service is always friendly and attentive, they keep the drinks flowing. The bar probably the most selections of beers over any other downtown establishment. Quite surprised to see Fat Tire on draft there. Great location and I hear the lunch buffet is good. The Con's: ehh, I've had better pizza. It doesn't suck and it's better than Pizza Hut or Dominos...but then that's not saying a whole lot is it? Just nothing spectacular here. Oh, and don't sit by the front windows between 6pm and 8pm during the summer - the sun blasts right in on you until it gets behind the trees. :P read more

Pizza Joint - Pizza Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

Made a reservation for trivia night. When we arrived, we were informed the manager made a mistake and took the reservation for a previous date. We were not the only party this happened to this evening. Fast forward to getting a table, we went 15 mins without a greeting and an additional 30 mins to receive our drinks. Our appetizers made it to the table before our drinks. After being told my chosen beer was no longer available and another guests wine was sold out, it took an additional 20 mins to receive our drinks. When I received my beer, it was not the one I had ordered. The pizza I received, after an hour at the table, was incredibly dry. When I say there was no sauce, I am not exaggerating. It was completely dry with extremely dry meats piled on top. Combine that with the impossibility at getting drink refills, having to virtually beg for more adult beverages, and the complete inattentiveness of the collective staff, and I am EXTREMELY unlikely to return. This is without a doubt the worst trip to a restaurant I have ever attended. I used to manage a restaurant for 4 years, prior to that I was bartender and a server. I know what an unorganized cluster looks like. Anyone with a single iota of a semblance of what customer server should resemble would see that this restaurant has extreme issues. read more

It's just unbelievable to me how stupid people can be. It's unbelievable to me how little my business means to businesses. I called in an order to pizza joint and I went to pick it up. I did not see that I had a mask in my car so I went to the door to pick up my order. They would not allow me in which I understood but they would not even bring my order to the door. They would not bring my order to the car. The pugnacious attitude of withholding my food was unacceptable. I will NEVER spend another dime in this restaurant. read more

This place use to be great. Ordered 2 slices and a salad...Liquid was dripping from very salty pizza slices....nasty Salad was on a salad plate....tiny.....6.00.....not what it use to be. 2 yrs ago was served in good size bowl...guys obviously don't know what a Greek salad is suppose to look like....BAD read more

Cheap pizza, big slices, decent beer selection. What pisses me off is "I can't change the channel on that TV because..." (and I'm not making this up) "...the remote is broken, so it just stays on ABC." So, instead of the Braves vs Marlins, we have Larry King Live! read more

Great place to grab a bite and a beer. Daily happy hour specials and trivia on Wednesday's. Parking can sometimes be full but there is additional space behind the restaurant in the bank parking lot. Personal favorite thing to order is the billy club but their pizza is just as good. read more

I have eaten at all of Pizza Joints locations over the years. I've always looked forward to eating there. Unfortunately, the last two times I've been to the Aiken location I've been disappointed. I usually order a slice of Carnivore and one of Tree Hugger. In the past it was fresh and loaded with toppings. The last two times it looked like something out of the freezer case. I hope this review encourages the management to step up their game. I like the atmosphere and the prices are very reasonable. I'll be back again but three strikes will be it for me if it hasn't improved. read more

How do you not know your restaurant smells like milldew? Walked in and immediately walked out to sit on the patio. We should have left that very moment. But it's the pizza joint! It should be great! Nope. Table and chairs outside were grimy and greasy. I had the fried pickles that later gave me diarrhea. Also how do you not have a printed drink menu? Whatever. My friends app was ok, nothing special. We 100% won't be back. I feel sorry for the new girl who just started tonight. They won't be getting much business with that stank smell. How are you guys still even open? Id love to see the latest health rating on this place. I'll stick with Mellow from now on. read more

We had the 20in Chicken Diane Pizza. The crust and toppings were good. It had Alfredo sauce, chicken, spinach, onion and tomato. The pizza was $25, but it was quite large. We also had a small Greek salad which had Italian dressing when I would have thought it should have some type of Greek dressing. We had 4 beers (three were cheap). Our bill was $45. It did provide both lunch and dinner though. read more

Visited for lunch yesterday. Very nice staff and good pizza. The mac n cheese bites and fries were better than anywhere we've had and was fresh and HOT when delivered to our table. Pizza tasted like it was made a good bit before we ordered and then heated. There is great seating inside and out. The little one loved watching the fish swim in the gigantic tank. read more

Pizza Joint has gone way downhill since their new management/ownership. The staff is cold, unfriendly, and doesn't try. They routinely are out of specific types of beer (looking at you management) and most of their "specials" have become less special. Would love to be able to come to the restaurant the be able to order a beer on the menu and not be told "oh, we're out" three weeks in a row. read more

My boyfriend and I come here often because they have great food and great service. Today we came and we got a pitcher of Bud Light for $5 (they have this special every Thursday). We shared the Pedro Wings (Pedro was a good friend of ours who passed away and Pizza Joint put these wings that he created on the menu as a tribute...this was his favorite restaurant) which are pictured below. The Pedro Wings are awesome and we encourage everyone to try them (as long as you can handle a little heat)! We also got two slices of pizza which are huge and always great. We love Pizza Joint and the environment that they provide for their customers. We will definitely be back for more Pedro Wings soon! :) read more

Pizza Joint - The Pedro Wings!!!!! - Pizza Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

I want to love Pizza Joint; a local Pizza restaurant with 30 beers on tap and one of the only places in Aiken where a vegetarian can be sure to find something. Great right? How can you go wrong with that combination? Well, first thing you can do is not have the pizza just right. We ordered the veggie pizza with broccoli substituted for the olives, which was absolutely no problem. Even with a special request, they got it right. Unfortunately, the middle of the pizza was soggy. No bueno! I don't know if this is a technique issue or a training issue (maybe oven wasn't hot enough) but it needs to be fixed if the restaurant wants to become great. If it was just our pie that had this problem, then it's one of inconsistency, which is just as bad. When we ordered our pizza, we also ordered a sandwich, but after the pizza came out, we ended up waiting another 10 minutes for the sandwich. Again, another one of these things that shouldn't happen at a restaurant. If the sandwich takes longer to cook, put it in the oven first, then do the pizza. Train the kitchen staff to anticipate differences in time so both can go to the table, together, straight from the oven. So our pizza just sat in the middle of the table, (getting cold) while we waited for the sandwich to come out of the kitchen. Also, if there are issues, don't tell me about them. I do not want to hear that the kitchen is super busy, and don't use that as an excuse as to why things aren't going perfectly. So, Pizza Joint, I offer this criticism honestly and constructively; get your shit together. I want you to be great, so get on top of this. read more

Flat Newcastle beer. A "I can only go through the motions bartender". Don't think I will be back anytime soon. Mr manager, you better put some thing through evaluation. Just saying. read more

What happen, our server was great but the food has gone down , cheese pizza was not cooked in the middle,, calzone was burned on the bottom and the stromboli was skimpy filled and also burned on the bottom. It took us 45 minutes to get it, the waitress keep us filled with the bread sticks we ordered and drinks and she keep checking on our order. We even notice others that came in after us got there orders first. ???? whats up with that, two adults and one child at our table. anyway apparently we did not order beer. in My Humble Opinion has gone down since our last visit. so probably one more chance and then we will move on We tried several more times this past year we have moved on. Sadd use to be a great place we have read more

Place was good. Pizza was good, hard to find great pizza down south but overall, we liked this place.

Am new to Aiken and wanted to try a pizza place so I thought I would take my family here the kid that waited on us was busy talking to his friends on and off has we ran out of drinks and it took sometime to get our pizza well the pizza was very very greasy I couldn't even eat one slice the salad was good and the wings was good we paid 85.00 for our food and 40 of it was that greasy pizza needless to say am disappointed.not a place I want to spend 85.00 bucks at . read more

We had eaten at the other Pizza Joint in Augusta last time we flew out this way, so we knew that we liked it. So when we thought of pizza, we immediately thought of this place. Luckily, we found a location in Aiken. We Placed an order for pickup. When we got there early, we were instructed to go to the bar and let the lady working the bar know that we were picking up. The bar area was pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon, and there was only one lady working it. We had to wait a few minutes before she got to us because of this. But, when she did get to us, our pizzas were boxed already and ready. We paid quickly and got out. And just like last time, the pizza was great. I'm glad that we got a large! I wish that the slices were cut a little smaller, but maybe that's just my "In Hollywood, portions are smaller" mentality. Can't wait to eat this pizza again. Don't think we'll explore other spots. What's the point? The Pizza Joint is great! read more

Been here a ton since I moved to Aiken, mostly for trivia but sometimes just for a slice and a beer. Amanda the bartender is awesome and the pizza is above average, especially the crust. You can also buy by the slice instead of sharing a pie which is great if your girlfriend likes Hawaiian pizza. The beer selection rotates pretty frequently and they always have interesting options. There's also cheap drink specials basically every night. Overall just a good spot to hang out with friends. read more

We come here every time we are in town. The pizza was amazing and the staff was friendly and attentive. The waitress made sure we got everything we didn't have to ask for anything. She took care of us. We ate outside because we had our dog. The food was so good and the sauce for our garlic knots was perfect blended. Highly recommend this location. read more

Used to be the best place to eat in Aiken, but haven't been back since Ronnie left. Owner needs to get him back at any expense.

Took a day trip to Aiken to explore their cute downtown area. Had no clue what to expect, just wandered around hoping for inspiration to strike as to where to have lunch. We were tempted by a few places on Laurens St. (I think??) but found ourselves wandering down a side street and stumbled upon The Pizza Joint. A good find! Our server was very friendly. My husband had the Philly cheese steak and I had the veggie calzone. The calzone was stuffed with great ingredients and came with a very fresh tasting marinara sauce for dipping. My husband said the cheese steak 'wasn't bad' and this is pretty high praise from a Philadelphia native for any cheese steak made outside of Philadelphia. Very enjoyable afternoon. read more

Poor time management: hour lunch break and didn't see one slice of pizza. When told we would be late to get back to work, we were assured the pizza would be out in two minutes. We paid our bill for our drinks and pizza and after five minutes, still no pizza. Left hungry, angry, pressed for time, and extremely disappointed. read more

As a pizza lover, I was excited when another "local" pizza place opened in Aiken. I love Fernando's, but, I mean hello, that is part of what makes NYC so great for pizza! Lots of delicious different interpretations. We ordered to-go, and the pizza's were ready right on time. We got two 14inch pies, one cheese, one pepperoni. It was $22.86. The best way to describe the crust is sturdy. Not really super crispy, but not soggy either. It didn't really have great flavor. That would have been okay if the cheese had been super fresh and flavorful. It wasn't. Now onto the sauce. A bit to spicy for my taste. I had a slice of cake an hour or so after we had eaten the pizza, and all I could really taste was the pizza sauce. To me the 3 main components of the pizza are suppose to work together, and I don't really feel like that was happening. The pizza wasn't bad, but if I want something okay, I will call Papa John's and save myself some money. Would I go back here? Probably with a group of people, but I am not going to choose to go here just for great pizza. read more

Tried out the Pizza Joint on the hunt to satisfy a late night food craving in Aiken, South Carolina. The atmosphere has a mom & pop store vibe. There's an open kitchen where you can see them prepping the pizzas. There's also a bar area in the back of the restaurant, where it looks like a decent amount of people were hanging out. Upon server recommendation, we tried out the garlic knots with garlic butter sauce. Honestly, they weren't that good. Kind of dry with no flavor to them. If you drench them in the garlic butter sauce though, it helps a little. The server was also something else.. She was really nice, but kind of loopy.. She would make awkward jokes or say peculiar things. Nice girl though.. The pizza took a while to come out of the kitchen. We were super starving by the time it came out. It was DELICIOUS though!! We got the "Big One." The pizza was nice and hot. Good tasting dough with a generous amount of toppings. They had beer pitchers at a decent price. Overall, not a bad place to hang out and get some late night food. read more

I really enjoyed the pizza I ordered the Mediterranean pizza slice which was enough for 2 people , it was delicious and I really liked the crust it was not hard, I also hard a chianti which was the perfect combination for a relaxing evening with girls' the waitress was pleasant and attentive, I would surely be back if I travel back to aiken.. read more

Scenario: Recommended by the locals for cheap pizza and beer. Product: It was Tuesday, thank goodness! $2 pizza slices, $2 drafts, and $2 off wings! The wings were average. The beer was of a wide variety. The pizza was pretty tasty, especially the Mediterranean, and the slices are HUGE. Very good quality for the Tuesday prices. Other days of the week have specials too. Service: Service was attentive and timely. The staff was friendly, though a little absent minded when it came to asking for boxes and the check. The waitress offered to split checks up front, which was a pleasant surprise. Atmosphere: Kind of a trimmed down TGIF with a few TVs playing, music, booths, and a bar. It wasn't too busy. A bit of eye candy was a plus;) Uniquity: They have Tuesday night deals on lock down! A deal that can't be beat. read more

Ran out of cheese. On a Saturday night. They either didn't want to serve us 25 minutes prior to closing or they need to reprimand the operations manager. read more

This-place-is-on-POINT, son!! So much flavor!! The ingredients are incredibly fresh and the spices... perfection. Crust is a tad crunchy on the outside and doughy on the inside. We had a 14" The Big One, subbed the beef for more pepperoni and added extra cheese. Every bite was like a dream come true. I'm 40 years old and had no idea pizza could taste like this... If you're ever in Aiken, SC this is THE pizza joint to let your palate make memories at! And the prices are great. We're in town for a week and will definitely hit it up again before we roll out... read more

Pizza Joint - 14" The Big One, replaced the beef with more pepperoni and added cheese. Read my review! SO GOOD!!! - Pizza Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

I really liked this place. Laid back, free wifi, a wall full of beer taps, corner pizza place prices. I had a sandwich that was great. Not where you go for a sit-down business dinner, but I don't think that's their goal. Great place to get that much-better-than-quiznos sandwich along with a craft beer. Or pizza with a craft beer, I dunno - I don't order pizza very much. Maybe just a craft beer. Mmmmmmm, beer. Love it when you get to choose from 20 or so craft breweries. read more

Here we go again. Decided to try pizza joint again after almost a year. Use to get weekly. Service was slow and we each had a Slice pizza and they were warm at best. Salads came after the pizza. No 1000 island. Gave 2 stars for the tea. Although you could hardly get a refill. Looking forward to mellow mushroom. read more

I'd heard mixed reviews about Pizza Joint from locals when we moved here last year but a friend took me and I loved it, so I brought my husband back after that and we've been several times. I'm not a beer drinker, but I gather their selection is excellent and many people love the beer club membership they sell annually. Wait staff is pretty good, but as with all restaurants, sometimes can be a bit slow or lacking. I love, love, love that you can order basically any pizza by the slice here! The Chicken Diane is my favorite so far. I usually try 2 slices every visit and then regret it a little because the slices are so big, so I leave a little over full. I've had a few of the appetizers here as well and while I enjoy them, they're not exceptional compared to other pizza places. As the name indicates, you come here for the pizza! read more

Terrible customer service. Careless staff. Long wait. Burned food. I go to this location because of its proximity to my office and I like pizza. But every time I go I'm disappointed in service and food and ask myself "Why did I come back here?!" Save yourself. Eat someplace else. read more

If I could give this place a negative rating I would. The pizza has improved- I will say that. We've been coming here on and off for a year and a half and that's only because it's the only pizza place other than the mellow mushroom (which is also over priced) in Aiken that has a bar/pubish vibe. We came for the trivia and put up with the mediocre service (at best) and mediocre food. Beware the beer pricing!!! There is no printed beer menu, it's hand written with no price listed. In normal alcohol serving establishments getting a pitcher is a deal. Not at this pizza joint!!! We were charged 20$ for a pitcher of Goose Island. Absurd! Granted, I admit we should've asked if we were going to get butt raped and charged our first born and then some for 3 pitchers of beer. However, given the service, quality of food and cost of beverages, save yourselves some time and money and go elsewhere. read more

We were visiting Aiken and had heard about the Pizza Joint se we decided to try it. We waited for about 5 minuets before someone finally came and asked if we wanted to be seated. Then we waited another 10 minuets before someone came and took our order. No drinks yet. Asked a question about something and they couldn't answer it. Horrible service. Food however was good. read more
