I think the bad reviews must be from people who work at other places in town. Food has been consistently delicious (this has been over ~10 visits in the last year). They use high-quality, fresh toppings, and...yes, this means you will pay more than you would for stuff that comes out of a can or the freezer. I've also never gotten a burnt pizza with scant toppings, like I have several times at the other pizza place in the downtown TR strip. They could probably stand to add one more server per shift, but I've still never waited more than a few minutes for anything. You can't go wrong with any of their salads, pizzas, draft beers, or ice creams. read more

We were hiking in the area and this was the perfect spot for lunch after on our way home. 4 of us all shared: - Tommy - Roasted Mushroom - Spicy Italian with Roasted Garlic Sauce - BYO: Crushed Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Goat Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Roasted Pineapple, - Little Pepperoni - Cinnamon Sugar Dough Bites - Pucks Soda All of the pizzas were fantastic and this was definitely more food than we needed. None of us were sad to have pizza leftover though. If I had to pick, the Tommy was my favorite, but you really can't go wrong. I loved that they let you mix and match their sodas. Everything I tried was great. I wish the cinnamon sugar was more incorporated into the dough bites because it all just fell to the bottom of the bowl, but they were still pretty good. I would absolutely stop by here again next time I'm in the area. read more

Sidewall is unexpectedly delicious pizza in what feels like the middle of nowhere. The service is super friendly and charming. The atmosphere is unremarkable but that's what I expect from most pizza places and especially from ones in the middle of nowhere. My friends and I shared 4 pizzas: Roasted Mushroom; Spicy Italian on roasted garlic sauce; BYO Pizza with red sauce, little pepperoni, pineapple, goat cheese, & caramelized onions; and Tommy. I'd gladly order any of those four again but I think the winner for me was the Spicy Italian with roasted garlic sauce instead of red sauce. My wife and I tried most of the sodas they had on tap and they were delightful too. And to finish things off we all shared the cinnamon sugar dough bites which were good because of the delicious vanilla glazed they are served with but I think the dough bites could have used a little more cinnamon and sugar in their dough. read more

Service: Katelyn was very attentive throughout the meal. Food: We had a Greek salad, cheese pizza, Protein pizza, and chicken buffalo dip. All very good! Pizza had a really good cheese pull on it. Protein pizza packed with meat, and quite filling. Ambiance: nice spot for indoor or outdoor seating. I have been here a few times over the years and the place has not changed much. Clean and great food! read more

Terrible customer service experience tonight. My family and I went to grab dessert here. The staff was miscommunicating with each other -- first they told us we needed to go to the bar to order, and then the bar told us that if we wanted to sit and eat, we needed to go back to the hostess stand. That being said, they seated us. About 15-20 minutes went by and no one was coming to serve us. We went to check in with the hostess, and another waitress behind her was saying "why did you seat them? I told you we weren't serving anyone else, no matter if they got seated. We are not going to serve anyone else." This was at 6:45 PM. They close at 9 PM. So what, we were just gonna be left sitting there wasting our time? What was the difference between takeout vs sitting down just to get desert? That being said, after being extremely frustrated, we left. As a gluten and dairy free person, this is one of the only places I can eat at, so the horrible customer service was extremely disappointing and has left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

From the decor, it's apparent that this site used to be an automobile repair shop. I wonder if the walls still roll up like a garage door. I was greeted as soon as I entered, and invited to sit anywhere. They have an unusual take on the Greek salad. Spring mix is the base. Roasted red peppers & sundried tomatoes add to the less ordinary ingredients. The kalmata olives are tasty, but the feta tastes more like White Stilton cheese. I frequent the area, so I will return to try other dishes. read more

Sidewall Pizza - Sidewall's take on a Greek salad. - Pizza Near Me - Travelers Rest, South Carolina

What a special place! I can honestly say this is one of the top pizza places I've been to. While I was expecting some kind of "sauce on top" stuffed pizza, their take was amazing. The beer menu was extensive and the service friendly. The place was a bit loud for an elderly person with hearing issues on a Saturday night, but not outside of what I would expect for a great spot on a weekend. read more

I have been to more than one Sidewall Pizza, location, and they are all consistently excellent. They are thin crust, brick oven type pizza and they have a little bit of a New York flavor. My favorite pizza place in the Upstate. I regularly consider going to other places, but I keep finding myself back at Sidewall. Fresh toppings, reasonably priced and very flavorful! read more

The first few times we ordered there the food was good. But after too many burnt pizzas with scant ingredients that we felt we overpaid for and waited too long for we stopped going. I do like the salads. So I wanted to give them another try. My husband was interested, no pizza for him. I ordered a salad and some bread sticks. Salad was very good as I expected but wouldn't you know, the bread sticks? BURNT! I give up. This place is only good if all I want is a salad. read more

Sorry, but it's an attempt at Pizza, but not really pizza. Anyone can make a pizza, but when you go out and spend your devalued hard earned $$, you should expect beyond what you can buy frozen in grocery stores. This is not good pizza. Just sharing my opinion. read more

Great pizza and friendly service! Ambiance was very kid friendly on this evening, which is great but just not what we are looking for these days! Great spot for families. We had the stuffed spinach pie and it warmed up great at home. read more

It's fine if you're busy and a little behind but to have half of the food for the table to come out and then 30 minutes later the second pizza isn't it yet is ridiculous. We spent two hours there and my kids ended up eating their banquet pizzas and cheese pizzas in the car on the way home. Absolutely no recovery from the manager. People came in after us ate and left while our table and another were there forever with forgotten orders. Never again will we visit. I'm gluten free and dairy free and thought maybe we finally found a place, but it's not worth my kids crying when we get there at 6 and leave at 8:15 with pizza to go. read more

This was my birthday pizza from Sidewall. Definitely make sure that you sign up for their birthday club, cuz it's totally worth it! We shared an apple salad and the pizza, and the flavors of both were balanced perfectly. The vegetable pizza changes seasonally, and right now you can get a delicious garlic sauce, blue cheese, squash, and shaved brussel sprouts. It was so good that I ordered another one from the Cleveland Street location the next week! Healthy, clean food. read more

Great pizza and tap selection. Mimosa cider was amazing with awesome spicy pepperoni and peppers pizza

Our large party had great service and I'd give that five stars. The gluten-free pizza was extremely salty and my sister and I were both quite thirsty after eating it. I've enjoyed Sidewall's pizza over the years but hadn't eaten there in a while and was disappointed this time. I liked their pizzas a lot previously and want to go back again, but the saltiness was not appealing and I hope it was only a one-off. read more

I order for pick up and the pizzas were 20-25 minutes late. Very disappointing. Staff does not care. There were only 2 groups of diners. Not busy at all. read more

As someone who has been coming to sidewall for several years, it's unequivocally the best pizza shop in the upstate. Everything is always consistently good and do not sleep on their seasonal pizzas (peach, pear, potato, etc.). If you're thinking appetizers, the breadsticks are great; they're massive and a classic if there were one. The spinach and artichoke dip is incredible and absolutely worth the price. I definitely find myself going out of my way to visit sidewall whenever I'm in town. This visit we got the acclaimed(?) seasonal pear pizza, subbing out the blue cheese for fresh mozz instead. New pizza to 2023, but definitely not new to us. It's become a regular. The honey drizzle on top of the pizza is a nice touch *chefs kiss* and wish it had more honey. I will say that you can't go wrong with most any of their pizzas. You also have the option to build your own pizza if you're into that. I attached several photos of various pizzas as this Yelp page was lacking photo wise. The ice cream is really good, homemade and the flavors are on a rotating basis so grab some during your visit if you like the current flavor. The only occasional downside are their hours. Be sure to check their Instagram before heading out as they seem to close sporadically for events, weather, etc. read more

One hour wait time to get your food in a hot dining room is not for me. I feel sorry for the wait staff. I'm sure they are blamed and go without tips because the ownership is apparently uninterested in things like a comfortable dining room or competent kitchen staff. read more

Pretty good. I think we need to try different things on the menu next time. The gluten free crusts look really good when I see them-- thicker deep dish type. The wedge salad was super good-- the best I've had! Not usually a wedge salad girl, but everyone raved about it. It was delicious!!! I'm craving it now. The breadsticks were just okay. No garlic, seasoning, cheese etc, and very soft. So a bit flavorless to me. Some love that texture. I like a little more crispy and garlic, like garlic knots. Pepperoni pizza was decent. The guys liked it but nothing over the top. Bbq chicken pizza was good. The bbq sauce on it was a bit too sweet for us. The spicy sauce was good. We got it on the side due to child. It was pretty good for the most part but I'd try another pizza type next time. Ordered a cider and was good. Outside covered seating was nice. Good breeze. It was super busy but I called ahead and they had my name down and sat us right away even w many waiting- score! Service wasn't the best due to being overly busy and short two servers-- so grace for them. The salads all looked good! They have many vegan options too for pizza and desserts. read more

The BEST, Homemade gluten free pizza and breadsticks I've ever had!!! You won't be disappointed!! This is NOT your standard, premade "cardboard" gf crust. While there, talking to the staff, I was told they have a designated area for gf prep, so no chance of cross-contamination. My daughter also has to be dairy free, so she order her pizza with df homemade mozzarella. It was even better than the dairy version! We will be back!!! The 2 hour drive is well worth awesome, safe food!!! The staff was super knowable, friendly, and helpful...something rare in the gluten free world! Relaxed, quaint, friendly atmosphere! You get a MILLION star review read more

horrible wait staff- sat here for 30 minutes before I had to flag someone down to just get something to drink. our waitress was very snarky- definitely not worth the time or money. read more

If you're in Traveler's Rest this is the place for pizza. Not the usual fare you would find at the neighborhood pizzeria. The Little Pepperoni is packed with small slices that pack a spicy kick. We also tried the Peachy Keen which didn't sound that appealing but was fantastic. A gourmet treat of peach slices, balsamic vinegarette, and feta cheese. A unique blend of sweet and sour. They also carry flavors of small batch specialty soda. The prices are reasonable, the service is spot on, and the food is tasty. The place fills up fast at dinnertime. read more

Best of both worlds here. We wanted to try a new pizza and couldn't decide so we did 50/50 (needs to be of the same sauce to do this) potato and pear pizza and it did not disappoint! The blue cheese hit different and I think this is our new favorite pizza from here. Service is quick and friendly as usual. Inside and outside seating has nice vibes. Pizza prices are on the higher end just as a heads up incase ur gonna bring a big group here. read more

Sidewall Pizza - Half potato half pear pizza - Pizza Near Me - Travelers Rest, South Carolina

I ordered a 12" gluten free Margherita Pizza from the Travelers Rest location for pickup on a Saturday night. About the only thing good thing I will say about it, was that is ready timely. The dough looked & tasted like it was white bread, the pizza had zero flavor, with very little Basil, and could have used some much fresher mozzarella cheese. Sorely lacking in my opinion. Margherita pizza is one of the simplest pizza's a pizza restaurant can make and they could do a much, much, much better job making it, like adding some fresh sliced tomatoes before they add the few mozzarella cheese slices that they do before they pop it in their oven. There's really no excuse for the lack of flavor. I only eat pizza maybe once or twice a year, and I will tell you, I will no longer be ordering any pizza from here and will not recommend it to anyone. read more

The pizza and salads are wonderful! You can't go wrong with pappadew peppers, caramelized onion, and roasted pineapple. My favorite!

First time at sidewall and it was pretty good! We got the arugula and prosciutto pizza and it was good although it looks like they just piled the arugula on top. Our appetizer was the goat cheese and bruschetta which was I would recommend. The ranch and the vanilla crème soda seemed a little watered down but was overall okay. We sat outside and it was nice! Our server was really sweet and took great care of us. I'd like to come back and try another pizza! read more

Great spot for dinner and catching up with a friend! If the amber ale was good, the basil mint cider was amazing--and that's just one of the unique cider flavors to choose from. I'll definitely be back to try them all! We did garlic twists for our app and the red sauce was so good we just had to ask for an extra. Which came in handy, because I love extra sauce with my pizza, too. We went for the meatball pizza and were not disappointed! Another of my favorite Sidewall pizzas is the Arugula, but here's an inside tip--ask for a side of balsamic reduction to drizzle on top and voilà! You've got the perfect compliment to the bite of the arugula and saltiness of the prosciutto. You can thank me later! read more

In Greenville for the weekend and was told by a local to try this pizza place. So glad we took the suggestion! Everything was delicious! We loved their all natural sodas. The root beer was very tasty! We went with another couple and went a little overboard and ordered 3 pizzas and an appetizer. We had PLENTY of leftovers. We all had a different favorite. Some of the best pepperoni pizza I think I've ever had! It had a little kick to it. The bacon pizza was very tasty, but glad I had the other options to offset to strong bacon/garlic flavor. The stuffed pizza was a nice change and the crust is SO good! The only thing I would've changed is having some kind of flavoring on the breadsticks. The workers were very friendly and attentive. The vibe was very chill and was an indoor/outdoor open garage doors facility. I would HIGHLY recommend this place if you are in the search for a pizza place in the area! read more

Love this place! Pizza is top notch. Jamie is the best server ever. I'll give it five stars, though bartenders need to be more attentive to people who sit at the bar. The design of the bar makes bartenders focus on who is closest to where you make drinks. So, try to sit on that end or the middle. read more

We popped in at Sidewall tonight for the first time and overall we really enjoyed it! This pizza has the feel of a fast casual pizza place with the number of unusual toppings it offers and more upscale pizza feel, but it is, in fact, a sit down and be served or take out pizza joint. My favorite toppings were the roasted Brussel sprouts and butternut squash. YUM! The service was great and the staff was very friendly. They have seating indoors and outside, as well as at the bar. The tables are set up almost cafeteria style, so we were seated at a table with another family sitting at the other end. I ordered a starter salad - pear, cranberries, toasted nuts, and blue cheese over a bed of spinach with fig vinaigrette dressing - absolutely delicious. I'd give the salad alone 5 stars. The half size is about a normal size salad. The large is MASSIVE - I love salads, and it's more than I would attempt to eat on my own. The pizzas range in prize from $13 to almost $20, and if you choose a "create your own" pizza, each veggie or extra cheese topping is $1 and meat toppings are $2 on top of the $13 base charge. The pizzas are 14 inches, which I think is a bit of a strange choice. It's too big to eat alone (for me anyway), but not quite enough to split with someone. My daughters (ages 5-10) ate 4 pieces each (1/2 pizza), so I'd assume a full size person would put down a bit more. They do offer a gluten free crust that is made in house - it is the same price, just a 12 inch instead of a 14 inch. I really wanted to love it, but it was just okay - a little bit hard to chew. The toppings and variety of cheese I put on the pizza made it still very enjoyable, and I'm not saying I wouldn't order it again. But as far as gluten free crusts go, I've just had much better. If you are in TR and looking for a more specialized type pizza shop, be sure to stop in - it won't be cheap, but I think you will enjoy it! *Be sure to sign up online at their website and they will send you a free full size pizza on your birthday! I haven't cashed in on that yet, but I plan to do so ;-) read more

This Sidewall location is amazing!!! I've been to the Greenville location several times to dine in/ get takeout but I love how cute and quaint this one is off the main strip. I was worried the food would be different but it was fantastic and on point with the Greenville location, if not better! Andy (our waiter) made the experience 12/10 - extremely attentive, helpful, and always pointed us in the right direction with food choices. A couple of our highlights were the Smoky Salad - the BEST dressing... I think it's a pesto vinaigrette and the toasted walnuts on top make it. Very unique and tasty salad that you must try. The homemade Root Beer - better than any soda around!!! & free refills is always a plus. The Stuffed Spinach Pizza was incredible and our party couldn't figure out how they made it but were so happy it's an option. It's not really a calzone, a lot more thin and still comes in normal pizza slices but still very filling!! If you're a carb lover like me and love garlic, butter, spices.... it's a no brainer. Love this spot, we will be back! read more

We are here visiting and exploring the TR. The downtown was hopping and so was Sidewall Pizza Company. If you want really good pizza, this is the place to go. The service was very friendly, welcoming and casually paced. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It was very comfortable even on a hot day. We ordered black cherry and vanilla sodas that come with free refills! The breadsticks are AMAZING. One suggestion - order with a side of garlic olive oil to take it up a notch. We ordered two pizzas. You can style these 1/2 and 1/2 with the same sauce base. This is a good way to accommodate everyone's preferences. We stuck to the basics with pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms. The servings are large so we had leftovers for lunch the next day. We loved the vibe of Sidewall and can't wait to visit again. Thank you for the hospitality and great food! read more

Let me start off by saying I do not like pizza and I have never really enjoyed it mostly due to my aversion to tomato/marinera sauce. We came to sidewall with a group and I played along and ordered. I will only eat pizza with white sauce or an olive oil/pesto base. This place has so many options for different types of pizzas from various bases to toppings its wild! I think they might have converted me into liking pizza bc everything we had there was top notch and delicious! read more

We started with the House salad and it was really good! Just the perfect amount of dressing and spring mix very fresh and cold. I ordered the Meatball pizza with added mushrooms. The crust was good but very little sauce and seasoning. The meatballs tasted like frozen meatballs you buy at the grocery store. My girl ordered a Gluten Free crust pizza with olive oil that looked like 2" Focaccia Bread topped with a pound of Arugula. This pizza was awful! The decor was like an abandoned warehouse of tables and chairs. One positive was our waiter was attentive and kind. Bottom line is another disappointment in Travelers Rest culinary adventures. read more
