Chi-Pie — Restaurant in Simpsonville

I don't usually leave reviews but this was probably one of the most disappointing restaurants we've eaten at in a long while. And I am hoping that maybe they will take the constructive criticism and fix the issues.

We visited on opening day, and it was very clear they rushed the opening. The waitresses didn't know which table ordered what food, as they came around and asked each table if this order was theirs before they found the correct table. They ran out of sodas and we where unable to get refills on our drinks. There where a number of dirty tables that just sat the whole time we where there, which was over an hour.

We ordered the Meatball appetizer, which ended up being 3 quarter sized meatballs, that took 25 minutes to get to our table. The $8 price point was not worth the amount of food you received as an appetizer. Then we waited an hour for our Margherita Pizza and Spaghetti.

I truly believe this business will do well once they get the rest of their equipment in place and streamline their process. Growing pains are to be expected, but the quality of the pizza and the friendliness of the staff give me confidence that Chi Pie will become a great spot in time. We will...

Went to eat on opening day, one thing I have realized living in Shelby county is there are several people who don’t have patience. The food was incredible, I have a thing for deep dish pizza. Didn’t know if I was gonna like the tomatoes but they were delicious. One slice will absolutely fill you up. I got a medium cheese with a topping and it was very good. I’ll definitely come back and bring friends and tell others about this place, I feel as if this place can make it really good in the county. I’ve gotta go back anyway to try out the stuffed garlic bread I didn’t know about until someone else...
