Looking for a good slice of pizza? Aren’t we all? Pizza is one of those things that I can eat any day, any time. I’m talking breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Pizza certainly works for any and every occasion and I love it. When people discuss their favorite pizzerias, it’s never just your typical Pizza Hut and Papa John’s. It’s all of those hidden gems that we can all appreciate. The ones cooking in a wood-fired oven, fresh ingredients, whole mozzarella, all of the things that make pizza authentic. The Carolinas may be known for bb1 and seafood, but our pizza game is pretty great too.

South Carolina Pizza Spot

Each year, Yelp creates its list of the best restaurants. This year, they did a list of the best pizzerias in the U.S. For the list of 2024, one South Carolina restaurant made the top 100. That’s right, the top 100 spots in the country for pizza and South Carolina is home to one of them. According to the list and many customer reviews, The Obstinate Daughter, in Sullivan’s Island has some of the best pizza.

They aren’t your average spot that’s just a pizzeria, the restaurant serves up a wide range of options for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Enjoy your choice between sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, and more. But, we’re here to discuss their pizza. Enjoy options like their Cheeky Monkey which has guanciale, tomato, red onion, chili flake, and parsley. You can also get their The Moultrie (how ironic with my name) which has pepperoni, Mepkin Abbey shiitake, tomato, mozzarella, and parmesan. The menu shows that their pizza options are a wide range but they also use fresh ingredients to make some of the most authentic pizza you can imagine.

Charlotte Home to Some of the Best Pizza Spots in North Carolina

If there is one thing that I can eat every single day, it’s pizza. Pizza is so good any and every day no matter what time of the day it is. I can enjoy a slice for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even for a late-night snack. I know, not everyone may enjoy a good slice of pizza but I cannot relate to that life. My friends know that me and pizza go together really bad! Even the basic cheese slice can really brighten my day up. But, one thing about me is I enjoy finding new places to try out. When I am in a new city or new state, I am always looking for great foods to try out. Pizza is typically on that list when I find a cool hole-in-the-wall spot that seems small, but probably tastes even better.
