Port Royal is a small town in South Carolina. It seemed at fist that the biggest draw to this town was the Marine Corp Base on Parris Island. In that, I was very wrong. Old School Pizzeria is a gem off the beaten path. It's a picture of quaint charm. The potted plants here and there surrounding the outdoor seating invites you to enjoy the air for a spell while the backdrop of ancient trees dripping with Spanish moss add a surreal beauty. The charm carries right inside the restaurant. Old School Pizzeria is small but the spaces is used well. It is very clean and well lit. The walls are decorated with cute Italian pictures and a few plants here and there. The staff is beyond accommodating. The smiles and kindness they offered were genuine. We ordered several pizzas and sat down to wait outside for them to be made. While sitting there, an employee came out to ask us if we'd like her to include plates, silverware, and napkins. We thought that was really kind of them. On top of that, the owner, John, came up to us and asked us if we'd like tea's to take with us since we had to wait. He gave us five tea's. The food itself was phenomenal. The pizza was perfectly done, the slices we cut through, and the toppings were generous. If I lived in this area, I would visit this place again and again. Two thumbs up and five stars for Old...
Read morePizza is good, but slices are overpriced. When I'm in NYC, I'll order 2 slices + a soda at Three Bros in Midtown or the East Village where they charge $2.75 total. I ordered the same thing at Old School Pizzeria and they're charging $7.56, what???!
I'm new to the area, and maybe that's the norm for pizza in SC, but I kinda feel like I got ripped off. Even if I have a serious craving for pizza, I don't think I can rationalize paying more than $6 for 2 slices and a can of soda. It would be a different story if they were boardwalk slices, but these slices are small and thin.
Despite my criticism, I still enjoyed the pizza, and the lady who served me was very nice. I don't know if she was too pleased when I asked why they charge $3 per slice, but it was an honest question. Maybe the pies are a better value, but I was just looking to get a quick lunch. I wouldn't discourage anyone from eating at OSP, and I may give them another chance if I'm looking to order a pie. I'm just more accustomed to stopping into a pizzeria for slices. So, while they do offer pretty decent pizza, I have to rule it out as an option for lunch unless they lower their price for...
Read moreThe pizza here is absolutely delicious with the thin crust I love. Super fresh ingredients. Hours listed on this site are not the hours they keep ---not even close! Want pizza delivered for dinner? This is not your place. Dinner Saturday night? Nope. And they are not open on Sunday. At all. No one wants to show up to a restaurant and be disappointed. Personally, I think all businesses should be required to update their information on a periodic basis as a condition of the respective site that posts their reviews. It's accurate that they are no longer accepting credit cards, but there is an ATM at the entrance and another next door...
