Ferrara Real NY Pizza — Restaurant in Irmo

This was my first time trying this little place and it was really good! I got there a little late in the evening after things were starting to wind down, but they still seated me and waited on me and there were a few other people that came in after me. It’s not anything fancy, and it’s not very big. I didn’t get there till around 8:30. I had the pasta Trio. That consisted of lasagna, stuffed shell, and manicotti.

The pizza actually had generous toppings rather than looking like a target shot with a .410 @ 100yds. The crust was just the right texture. Bite and tug just a bit, with a good taste, and good mouthfeel. No cracker-like or Bisquick crust junk here. The baked spaghetti was also excellent, with a homemade taste. You might have to wait a bit, but Ferrara will be my go-to pizza place from now on. My only 1st time there regret is that I didn't get a piece of that custard cake in the front cooler. I thought of that cake all evening. If you have a picky crowd, they have a ton of...
