    Pepperoni with whipped ricotta, basil and hot honey

    Good pizza, love the unique topping options. It's better when dining in though. The crust can get a little soggy when ordering for take out. The pasta, apps and wine list are great! Staff is always friendly. Worth wine place to go for a slightly more than casual date night.

    Spaghetti and meatballs. Meatballs are juicy and full of flavor

    We were in town to drop the kid off for college. My work colleague lives in Charleston and has been wanting to try this place, so off we went. 3 stars because this is like the tale of 2 different restaurants. 5 stars to the food! The pizza's were really yummy. Cooked well and that sauce is so balanced! Not too sweet, not too much acid. They are generous with the cheese as well. Order the Grandma though and thank me later. One of our party ordered the spaghetti with meatballs. He said they were the best meatballs he's had in years! Not dry, but pleasantly juicy and flavorful. 1 star for the service. Our server was certainly nice and friendly, but she was also absent for most of the meal. She didn't know the bar (when we were ordering drinks, she had to go back and ask several times about what they had - come on, Bacardi is not exotic), and we had to flag someone else down for water refills, etc. Never checked on us either, just asked if everything was OK when we got the check. I would chalk it up to a new server or something, but prior reviews have mentioned the service, and not in a good way. So a 3 it is. We would definitely go to Coastal Crust for the food, but maybe in a different location.

    THE BREAD SERVICE, 10/10! That's our favorite part, you cannot go wrong with bread and delicious spreads. It's a cute little spot, our kids really enjoy their pizza and outside seating area.

    Pathetic pizza

    $40 !!!! Pathetic pizza - no cheese, 2 pieces of sausage Terrible salad Never going back!

    Great outdoor option for families with children, with picnic tables, running and playing space, but not great for those who DON'T want kids running around. Our drinks were forgotten about, the food came out before our drinks arrived (we were still charged for them). Pizza was not bad for the area, but was lacking flavor and crisp (very soft undercarriage). I had higher expectations, given the proper pizza oven they have. We ordered 2 pizzas and they came out about 15 minutes apart. Live music always gets us motivated to try new places, so that was a plus. But not sure I'd come back.

    Thought I'd try a second piece but I couldn't finish it either.  Too burnt on the bottom and not crisp at all.

    I am visiting Charleston for 10 days. I had high hopes for the wood-fired pizza at Coastal Crust. There were a few patrons at the bar, which seemed cozy. And the young lady who greeted me and took my order was very nice. That's where the good stopped. The pizza was not crusty nor crispy but "floppy" when you picked it up. It was burned on the bottom, and the crust, as well, in places on the top. The top would've been okay as it was easily picked off, but the bottom being burnt made the pizza inedible for the most part. I love wood-fired, but it shouldn't taste burned and still be floppy. The meatball slices were nothing to write home about either. It sounded so good on the menu. I am disappointed. I was really looking forward to a decent pizza.

    Went back again this Friday for some wine and pizza. The outside area is so nice especially for the kids and the pizza is delicious! Here's the problem... The wine pours are tiny. They barely give a half glass of wine and at $11-12 per glass, it's just not worth it. We decided to end the night with a glass inside and the pour was almost double. I suggest going inside for your wine or we can hope they read this review and train the bartender on what a proper pour in the plastic glass is!

    We got a GF mushroom Bianca, it was pretty okay. Maybe like 10 mushrooms on the whole pizza. I expected and was hoping for more. Crust is a tough once it cools. Barely any toppings. I was kinda disappointed. Don't go here if you want to make a custom pizza. They don't have olives or peppers or hamburger. They only have the ingredients for the other pizzas. They're a specialty pizza place, not your average papa John's. This is a no-go for picky eaters, unless you just want cheese.... Our waiter was helpful and nice. And definitely let us in the loop of all the toppings they don't have. The seating was comfy, the decorations and flowers were cute and tables were set up.

    If you're in the mood for a classic wood fired Neapolitan style pizza look no further! Coastal Crust on James Island is a great place with lots of dining space~ both indoor and out. CC offers great salads, small plates, antipasto plates, add the bread "flight" with three types of blended oil dips, pasta/ shrimp dish, chicken parmesan. Classic spaghetti and meatballs and of course the variety of pizzas will have you returning and wanting more. The ingredients are present and are all fresh and local right down to the tomatoes! I ordered the arugula salad which was wonderful-- I loved the small sides of basil pesto and whipped ricotta touches in the salad. The balsamic drizzle added a sweet taste to cut the bitter arugula ( although I love the bitterness of arugula) however I did ask for the house white balsamic vinaigrette in order to blend the salad together and moisten it a bit. I did add grilled chicken for some protein and the chicken was grilled perfectly. All in all CC will be a "go to" for me as they have proven to be consistently good and take no shortcuts with quality and presentation of their food. The Fig and Prosciutto pizza is such a different type of pie and I love that combo. As per the name of the establishment you don't have to worry about the crust crispness, it'll be there! Servers are plentiful, helpful and efficient. The kitchen aims to please so no worries....~great wines and a great selection of local craft beers are available too!!

    Gluten free crust not safe for celiacs. They are unable to cook the gf crust on any type of barrier to prevent cross contamination.

They have a bar to serve your favorite beverages. This is a great place for families or just hanging out with friends. I ordered a veggie pizza. This is New York style pizza and the slices are huge. The crust was thin and bubbly. The sauce was delicious and the veggies were generous. The pizza was topped with fresh basil. I highly recommend.

Usually we prefer table service, but honestly the bar is the way to go here since you get a front row seat to the pizza making. We ordered a half pepperoni and half sausage pizza. As I saw the beautiful pies coming out of the oven they were all getting dressed with fresh parm and basil and I was worried I didn't add that for ours, but after feverishly flaging down our server he reasured me that all the pizzas come with the special treatment at the end (unless otherwise noted). As I calmed my nerves I sipped on some delicious bottle of sweet tea. It was only the slightest bit sweet and so refreshing. Plus we ordered a salad as well. We were concerned about the size of the salad when we saw our neighbors come out, but our server let us know we could get a half Caesar if we preferred. The salad is a must have. I love how they just chop the ends off the romain and add the perfect amount of dressing, crunchy bread crumbs, and loads of cheese. The pizza came out shortly after and it was perfection. If you're looking for thin crust northern style pizza then you will definitely find it here. They also use top notch ingredients making this a pizza one to remember. Surprisingly I enjoyed the sausage even more than the pepperoni. We were stuffed after only eating half the pie so we boxed it up and took some cannoli to go. They did half regular and half strawberries that had local strawberries mixed into the ricotta! We enjoyed all of it so much that we ordered the same items for takeout only a week later. I definitely enjoyed dining in more than takeout, but both are a great option. The online ordering was super easy and even though it was slammed when I arrived, they had my pizza, salad, and cannoli ready to go at the window when I arrived.

    I ordered a single slice of cheese to go. It came out in a timely fashion. It was cooked very well…read morewith just enough crisp and black spots but also not burnt or crunchy or anything unpleasant. It was a great slice of pizza. My friend order two slices of pepperoni. We waited 15 minutes until my friend got back up and asked them about his slices, it seemed they had forgotten about it and then they quickly handed him his slices after apologizing for the long wait. Despite mine being great, his was not unfortunately. His looks like it was pulled out of the oven early and was still floppy. No crisp to it at all. That's what some people like but I don't believe it's the standard. Despite this, his slices tasted good, I mean, how can you mess up a pep slice. The prices were alright for the area, I think my slice was like almost $4 after tax. I'll probably be back because of the convenience of being able to just order and pay right away and then get a slice a few minutes later. I would overall recommend.

Pizza is also available by the slice, which is what I ended up getting. Originally, I wanted to order an 18-inch cheese pizza, but the waiter told me it would take about 30 minutes and recommended ordering by the slice instead. I tried the cheese pizza by the slice. The pizza had a classic New York-style feel, but my slice was a little dry and slightly burned. It was decent overall, just not the best pizza I've had. If you're looking for a quick carryout spot with New York-style pizza options, it may be worth trying, but I'm not sure it would be my first choice for pizza.

    I will preface this by saying that I have a bad habit of visiting restaurants at weird times (4pm…read morein this case), after lunch but before they get into the groove of dinner service. So it's entirely possible (and understandable) that I don't always get the best of what a place has to offer. That said, this was the worst pizza I've ever eaten. I was happy to see a place offer NY style pizza by the slice; you don't find that a lot in Charleston. Well, you won't find it here either. It was, generously, a home cook's first attempt at making pizza. There's something fundamentally off with the dough recipe, such that even a wood fired oven can't save it. The slices were overloaded with cheese. It was like eating wet cardboard. The meatballs were pretty good! The bartender was super pleasant and the space is attractive and welcoming. But they cannot make pizza. Normally I'm loathe to air out my business on Yelp like this; I prefer to communicate with the server if there's a problem with my food. But this wasn't an execution issue that could be fixed. A do-over would've produced the same result. Maybe, MAYBE they crush it with the neopolitan specialty pies. But I'll never know.
