    The featured pizza
    Bari T.

    This is a cool fun spot to get some really good food. Ellie took care of us and she was attentive and personable. We had some beer to start with. What goes better with beer than pizza? We ordered the featured special which had prosciutto cooked on top. It may have even been fried. It was salty crunchy deliciousness. We tried the Margherita pizza with chicken and also tried the pistachio pesto pizza and the fennel and frisée salad. All of them very good. Evo makes good artisan pizza. Give it a try if that's what you're looking for. If you're looking for down home NY style pizza, this may not be your first choice. It's certainly worth trying!

    I've been to EVO Pizza a handful of times and always enjoy it. It's a great spot to meet up with girlfriends--everyone orders different pizzas and shares, which makes it fun and easy. They usually have different pizza specials going on, which I like, and the menu keeps things interesting. They also have a good wine selection and really yummy salads, which is a nice balance if you're not just there for pizza. Service has been pretty good every time I've been. It does get crowded and loud, especially during busy hours, but overall it's a solid spot in Park Circle and a good place to gather with friends.

    I sat outside at one of the 6 tables they have in the front. The fennel & frisee salad add roasted chicken was amazing! Everything was super fresh and flavorful! My food came out quickly and the server was great!

    We tried EVO Pizzeria while visiting Charleston recently. It is located just off Park Circle. Since it was near the holidays, the circle was lit up with tons of holiday lights. We were lucky with parking as someone was leaving a street spot as we arrived. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and was busy on a Saturday night. We had a bit of a wait but that was mostly because of the size of our party. They really only had 1 spot to seat or party of 9. We ordered the focaccia bread appetizer with oil and red sauce to dip. It came to the table warm and was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We ordered a cheese and pepperoni for the kids, a cheese calzone, a pistachio pesto, and a butternut & mushroom pizza. The pizza comes in 12" only and are thin and delicious. Mt personal favorite was the pistachio pesto. Wow, was it tasty! I will dream of this pizza for a long time.

    I finally ventured out to EVO in Park Circle to try their Pistachio Pesto pizza since I had been curious about it for a while. The 12" thin-crust pie comes topped with pistachio pesto, Split Creek fromage blanc, ground pistachio, creme fraiche, mozzarella, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Flavor-wise, it was delicious and definitely a unique blend of light, nutty, and creamy. That said, for $19, it felt more like a personal snack than a meal. The portion is small, and for the price, I'd expect something more substantial. Personally, I'd pay around $12 for what I got. I'm glad I tried it, but it's not something I'd go back for. The service and ambiance were also very average. Park Circle is fine, but it's not my favorite part of Charleston, and with so many other great food options in the area, I'll be sticking to other spots.

    Evo is a Park Circle classic! Cozy comfortable atmosphere, friendly servers, and the pizza are always perfection. Thin, light, soft but toasted wood fire crust. The pistachio pizza is a MUST! We get it every time.

    Amazing as always and service was great! Started with the wood fired olives. So good - very warm with roasted garlic! We had the special of smoked bacon on pimento cheese which was simply amazing! The "bacon" was a pork belly that was cooked to perfection on the most delicious pimento cheese paired with pickles and pickled onions and toast points! Amazing!! The farmer salad was huge and delicious! The crisp salad with watermelon radish and blue cheese dressing was delicious! The pork trifecta was loaded with sausage, pepperoni and bacon! Just enough cheese to balance all the meat! Perfect meal!

    Stopped by for a Sunday lunch in December and expected it to be packed and it was empty. We used their new Blackbird payment system and got our 'regular' but this time added sausage to the pistachio pesto pizza. So yummy!!

    We love coming here! The pizza is consistent and never disappoints. We love the wood fired taste and crust. It's usually a wait to get in so prepare to spend a bit of time before being seated. It usually ranges from 35-55 minutes every time we've gone. The service has been decent, nothing bad to report but not a standout either. Inside is small and cute. I like that it isn't huge. Thru have a good wine and beer list. Love their garlic sauce for dipping! They always have an interesting special as well. One of our favorites to visit in park circle and we drive out of our way for their pizza!

    We stopped by at 1pm on a Sunday and asked for a table for 9... we knew it was a stretch, but we had heard great things from friends who were here a few years ago and we knew it would be worth it. We put our name in and were told 90 minutes to wait. We walked around the cute treats and 20 minutes later I got the text saying our table was ready!! Already better than expected and we haven't even made it to our table. Food: Focaccia - delicious! The bread was fluffy, the marinara a perfect complement Wood fired olives - I was expected charred olives. I'm glad I was wrong. These had a cozy-grilled flavor that wasn't overpowering. Featured Salad: artisan lettuce, pickled red onion, Kurios Farms cucumbers, roasted brussels sprouts, bacon, toasted sunflower seeds, blue cheese dressing - great! We're usually a ceasar salad with pizza sort of group, but this salad was reason to make a departure. Pistachio Pesto pizza - amazing. Our favorite. It was nothing like I expected. It was almost like cacio de pepe made into a pizza form. I do wish I would have noticed it didn't have a protein and consider adding chicken, but not because of the flavor. Pork Trifecta pizza - spicy pepperoni pizza with friends. Totally worth it if you're a fan of pork. Service was fast and accurate. Servers helped each other refilling our glasses. Gratuity was not automatically added for our large group.

    The only pizza spot around that I crave....constantly! You can't go wrong with anything but the pistachio pesto is so unique and magical! Usually go for a salad and a pie to split. More than enough food. You can tell the ingredients are high quality. They don't cheap out on anything! Love to try anything new on the menu, always a treat. Service is kind and accommodating. Winner!

    I order this pizza once every couple of weeks and tonight I pick it up and this is what it looks like. It's so burnt I can't even think about eating it. I call they say I need to talk to my manager and we will call you right back. Over 25 minutes later and no phone call back. The excuse is we have new people here. If you order to go check your pizza before you leave because they won't.

    Love EVO !! Food and service are always consistently top notch! Pizza is a no brainer for me and it's always delish! Husband tried the Italian Wedding soup special and he enjoyed it! Saved room for dessert and I'm glad I did !!

    BRING A TAPE MEASURE!!!…read more I've never been anywhere that serves a larger slice than Benny R. does. And it's soooo yummy. The crust has just the right amount of chew--enough to give it character without feeling doughy. The cheese is impressively balanced and not overly greasy. I have a little ritual I call the "dab test" to see how much excess oil ends up on the slice. At some pizza places, it takes three or more napkins. Here, there was barely anything to blot. The sauce is excellent. I've had pizza where the garlic dominates every bite, but Benny R.'s strikes a great balance. Every ingredient complements the others, creating a flavorful sauce that enhances the pizza rather than competing with it. Pizza, 5:5. As for the atmosphere, it has exactly the kind of charm you'd hope for in a neighborhood pizza shop. It's casual, welcoming, and comfortable without trying to be overly polished. If you make your way to the back, you'll find a fun surprise. There's a bar, games, and a few other touches that make it a great place to hang out beyond just grabbing a slice. Ambience, 5:5 I really enjoyed the service. John took great care of me. He was friendly, courteous, attentive, conversational without being intrusive, and efficient. It's hard to ask for much more than that. Service, 5:5

    stopped in after an event because we had a craving for pizza. I appreciate that they are open late…read more& you don't have to buy a whole pizza - one slice is plenty big! I ordered the special of the day, the bacon cheeseburger. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it was a little extra crispy and honestly, I really appreciated it. Often, it's soft/floppy, but that extra crunch was nice! I also enjoy the interesting variety of soda options - I chose a blueberry, which was interesting. The person running the counter was nice & friendly - they ended up getting slammed/busy after we got our order, but she was working her butt off to take care of everyone. The space looks very small up front, but it extends to the tap room in the back, which we didn't get a chance to check out on this visit. I would stop back in for another slice if in the area.
