Crust Never Sleeps, Part I…

I’ve always been puzzled by Charleston’s lack of a truly great pizza place. Graziano’s makes a pretty good stab at New York style pie, but you could still take any random corner pizza joint out of New York City, transplant it on Capitol Street and have the best pizza in a 150-mile radius of Charleston.

And I’ll confess that on some level the class warrior in me didn’t want to like this place. It’s not everywhere in Charleston that you’ll almost always park your car between a Lexus and a Mercedes, but this is one of them. But hey, you’ll get to listen in on details of European vacations, cabins at Snoeshoe and fine leather handbags.
