Finally caught this spot open due to a limited hours. I placed my order before my workout so I could pick it up in the way home. The staff gets busy and previously told me it's best to call in my order. Upon entering I was greeted with a BIG hello from one of the employees and he asked what was the name on the order. He then looked at the ticket and said my order would be ready in a few ... 3 min later order was ready... and couldn't wait till I got home because of the smell... the ingredients were fresh and the pie was HOT fresh out the oven. The BYO with the white sauce was PERFECT... as a matter of fact I'm going to have a slice now .. only downfall of this restaurant they don't have any chicken options for none pork and beef eaters Till Next Time ... read more

Worst pizza ever. We got white pizza sauce with pepperoni which was awful, also ordered meatballs but they were out do they gave us some pasta dish that looked like carbonara and was terrible. Overpriced and not great. Not going back. read more

It's prettier than it tastes. There's no flavor at all. No garlic no onion. Very bland. I barely saw any sauce. Looks can be deceiving. They gave an abundant amount of toppings. The service was great. It's a small building so not much ambiance. I won't be back. read more

I've been on a mission to explore the many options of pizza in this city versus just ordering from traditional places. In addition, this place is new and in my neck of the woods so I was excited to try it out! It was about 50 minutes or so before they closed. I ordered online for pick up as soon as possible. Once completed, I received a notification that it was scheduled for the next day at 4 pm. I was a little confused at first. So I immediately called and after the second or third time calling and second guessing if they were open and whether or not their hours were incorrectly listed given the pandemic and all, I finally got an answer. The lady answered and stated that the ordered was received and probably figured it was a mistake. She apologized and said she meant to call. It was no worries because I was calling immediately to get it straightened out. The pick up time was 15 minutes or so, which was fine because my travel time to the place is less than that. Once I arrived, I was preparing to call. As I was preparing to call and get my mask ready, someone appeared with my order. The guy was very nice and masked. It was a few others picking up as well. I ordered the fresh made bread with the EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) sauce to accompany it. The bread was good with a garlic, fresh taste and cut into french bread loaves. The EVOO was light tasting and pretty decent. If I order the fresh bread again I would choose the creamy marinara sauce with hopes of a flavor kick. The pizza was a 16 inch pork trio. Authentic and fresh; that's really all I have to say! It was delicious and pleasing. The slices were a great size. The crust was good. The pizza was made well. The toppings were tasty and fresh. The pizza was cooked very well. Glad to have this place close and curbside! I recommend giving this place a try. Especially, for those that hate the extra grease that most pizzas carry. I can't wait to stop by once again for a curbside pick up. read more

May very well be the best pizza in Columbia. Ingredients are fresh, service is friendly when you pick it up, and the food is incredible. I'm usually a guy that takes convenience over anything, but Il Bucato is the exception - I will never pass up an opportunity to drive to pick it up (delivery is offered but through a third party so I typically avoid, though they do offer curbside pickup if needed). So glad I found this place! read more

They were pretty busy so wait was a tad bit longer but their pizza was amazing. We got like a meaty supreme pizza and it was amazing. Perfect crunch, not super greasy and heavy on the topping. Would 100% recommend read more

Be prepared to change your typical carry out spot. This is steps above most pizza in Columbia. Staff is really really nice. Good vibe when you go to pick up the pie. Whenever they decide to add seating I'm there with friends. read more

Excellent pizza and excellent health practices (all staff in masks, curbside pick-up). Can't wait to try them again! (Note: Ingredients are all great quality, but would really like to see Greek olives instead of canned black for a specially place like this) read more

Il Bucato - Veg - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Most amazing pizza in Columbia! So easy just call or order online and they bring it to you. The dough is perfect, toppings fresh, and not greasy at all! I got the salmon and capers pizza which literally sounds terrible but was incredible. I got the fiancé and daughter the 3 pigs pizza. We shared the shrimp last and arugula salad. 10/10 highly recommended. Like, I don't even want to tell anyone because it's too good to share. read more

Favorite pizza spot in Columbia! Have never had a bad experience and you can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

This is the best pizza in town. Call ahead, it's all to-go. The parking lot is a little tricky on a busy-ish intersection, so be careful. But do visit this place. They get to you pretty quick when you walk in the door and get you out pretty quick too. Well-lit inside, small, but whatever, doesn't matter. Get this pizza. read more

Best Pizza and Salad in Columbia hands down! It's not greasy at all and the antipasto salad is to die for. read more

Il Bucato - White pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

SOLID 4-stars all day. Pizza is above average for sure, on the better side of what you can get in the area. The service was the best part. I didn't even get a chance to get out of my car and they brought it out to me. Ya know what, let me change that FOUR to a FIVE. Customer service really goes a long way. read more

Passing thru Columbia on vacation and searched "best pizza in Columbia". This place showed up in multiple results. And they were right. Building looks older and more rundown, which usually ends up being some of the best eateries in my experience. They definitely exceeded my expectations. I will definitely order again if i am passing thru the area. read more

Great hole in the wall pizza joint. Good dough, good sauce, generous topping portions. Their house bread is delicious as well, always hot and fresh when we order it. Sad you can't dine in but that's not worth knocking a star. read more

Might be my favorite pizza place in Columbia. A bit of a drive for me but I love that I can order a pizza online and pickup when ready. Highly recommend! read more

This pizza was the bomb!!! You know it's made with fresh ingredients because you can taste the fennel in the homemade sausage, with pork belly, and prosciutto!!! The sauce is made from fresh ingredients to include the tomatoes, basil, oregano, garlic and some secret ingredients!!!! The pizza is thin and crust is perfectly made!! You know it's fresh mozzarella because there was no grease so you know they use extra virgin olive oil!!! You can't compare this pizza to anything because it's a league of its own!!! I love the service as the young lady came to the car and explained the menu and gave suggestions!! She as so nice and cute with a bubbly personality!!! Please go support!!!!!!! read more

Il Bucato - Pizza Pork Trio!!! - Pizza Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I gave 5 stars for the amazing pizzas they make! The best in town. Please don't change them or lower quality. Thank you.

Nondescript local pizza joint from the outside next to a gas station. To my surprise, had very good gourmet pizza for take-out. Interesting toppings and fresh ingredients. They offer curbside pick-up which is convenient. read more

I love il bucato!!! They have the best pizza in the area and it's very clean and the staff are always professional. I would highly recommend il Bucato! read more

The best garden pizza in Columbia and I really mean this. We love it and the people who make it. Please give them a try.

Great pizza little pizza spot tucked away down the street from the Richland fashion mall. Got the White Pizza and Prosciutto Bianco and both were great! Definitely a step above some what you would consider to be more traditional/greasy pizza that you will find elsewhere around town. Store offers curbside only and is punctual in bringing your order to your car. Definitely give it a try! read more

Ordered the Hot Italian Sub and it was a little too salty, and could have been toasted a little more. Also the posted $10 for the sub isn't what I paid in the store, it was $11 plus tax. read more

We just ordered from them for the first time. I love the fact that you can add ingredients and toppings to the pasta. My already delicious linguine marinara was made EVEN better by my ability to customize it. My husband ordered the Bucato pizza, and it looked like it was right out of an ad. It was almost too perfect to eat. I overcame that problem quickly. We'll definitely be returning to this place. read more

Highly recommend the Bianco pizza, burrata melt, and Italian hoagie...great little place

Curb side only by design, this quick order, pay on phone, quick pick place has excellent food. We have been twice and will go back. Pizza is fresh with a chewy, delicious crust. Salads are inventive with housemade dressing. Burrata sandwich is yummy! read more

You can never take back a first impression and this was a horrible one! I decided to try Il Bucato and ordered a pizza and salad to pick up and enjoy with friends. Once home , I discovered there was NO red sauce on the pizza at all and one topping was missing. I called and explained about the order and was told," we will try to do better next time." There will be no next time. read more

We love Il Bucato. Great pizzas, really thin crust (thank you), with lots of great topping selections. The service is simply exceptional. Last night we went to pick up our pizzas and when we got home one of them was incorrect. (First time ever). We called and they answered us by name and apologized - and INSISTED on having the correct pizza out to us within 10 minuets. Their service is just SO exceptional. They never fail to do what's right and take great care at what they're doing. And their pizzas are just really great. 6 stars if I could. read more

The pizza is really good! We've eaten there 3 times now. We've had the cheese pizza, the pork trio pizza, the prosciutto bianco pizza, the pear salad, and the fried mozzarella salad. My favorite thing by far is the prosciutto bianco pizza. It's 5 stars in my book, but white pizzas aren't for everyone. The pizza we have ordered every time is the cheese pizza. It's not a NY slice, but it's still delicious and tastes original. The pork trio was good too, but it was a little salty. The salads were also impressive. The lettuce is very fresh, and the ingredients are unexpected. They're WAY better salads than you would expect from a pizza place. They're also big. Probably 1.5 times the size of what I call an entree salad. The pizzas are a good size too, but my husband, my 3 year old, and I can almost finish a whole cheese pizza when we're really hungry. If you're on the fence, get two! read more

Very friendly! The food is delicious. It is now my new regular pizza and sub place. I had the meatball sub, satisfied my craving for good meatballs. Takeout only but you can order online as well. Very convenient. Love it! PJ read more

I used to like this place and have had many good experiences. However, today I placed an order online curbside pickup. I drove up right in front of the window as was the only car there. I waited 15 minutes and no one came out. No other cars came during that 15 minutes. I called inside and they claimed they did not get my order. They obviously weren't busy as no cars came while I was there, yet no one ever came out to check why I was waiting right in front of their window. I left. I was really hoping that this place was going to make it. read more

Not impressed...bland. Sandwich was not as described in online menu...a strip of jarred red pepper instead of the advertised Roma tomatoes. Was told 'oh sorry, our old menu' read more

I want to start off by saying the service and staff were great. However, this place is extremely overpriced for pizza. Paid $20 for a pizza, wasn't very good and extremely thin. Can get a much bigger and better tasting pizza at Mellow Mushroom for the same price. Want to support small businesses but you need to come down on your pizza prices read more

My new favorite pizza place! Ordered the Garden Pizza it was very good. Fast service, good value and it tasted great. Like the fresh ingredients. Really like the online ordering, very easy to use and curbside pickup is great. read more

I went there when they opened because they were close to my house. I've been there a few times now, had a pizza, salad, Italian sandwich, and meatball sub. All were good but the meatball sub was the best I've ever had. read more
