Pizza. Just hearing the word is enough to make you start salivating for that melty, gooey, cheesy little slice of heaven. One day definitely isn’t enough to celebrate this favorite food, loved by so many people, but we will certainly partake in celebrating National Pizza Day!
People are very opinionated when it comes to the type of pizza they like…New York-style, deep-dish, thin-crust, the list goes on and on. Fortunately, we are lucky enough to live in a city where the choices for pizza are abundant. So we asked our Charleston Moms team to give us their top picks for local pizza places.
