Sabatinos Authentic New York City Pizza

I ordered a small pizza and waited about 20 minutes — which was totally fine — but unfortunately, the pizza came out burnt on top and raw on the bottom. On top of that, the person making the pizza was on the phone watching YouTube while working, which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. As someone who’s worked in the pizza business for many years (and yes, I’m from NYC), I was really hoping for a better experience — especially after seeing all the great reviews.

Sabatino’s is a great spot for a quick bite in Charleston. The pizza is cheap and good, and it’s always fresh. There isn’t a lot of seating, but that’s totally fine since it’s clearly meant for grabbing a slice and going. Solid pizza every time and always hits the spot.
