The Best Pizza in Charleston, by the Record

The best pizza in Charleston, by the professional record: Condé Nast Traveler and Eater have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Indaco comes out on top.

Categories

  1. Rank 1. Indaco

    Wood-fired Pizza

    The wooden door on King Street opens into a narrow, warm room that's been packed most nights for as long as anyone can remember. Indaco is a wood-fired pizza and pasta spot where the wine list leans affordable Italian and people tend to order a second bottle before they've finished the first. The leopard-spotted crust on the nduja pizza is the obvious draw, but the seasonal pasta earns its place on the table too.


  2. Rank 1. Pelato

    Brooklyn-style Pizza


  3. Patrons congregate at the pick-up window before they've even made it through the door, which tells you most of what you need to know. Tutti is a neighborhood pizza shop with a 30-seat room of butcher block, steel ovens, and dough being stretched in plain sight, all of it smelling powerfully of garlic. The menu splits into square pies, round pies, and desserts, and the wine program leans on the bar next door.
