"Opening this fall at 350 King Street in the former Tasty Thai & Sushi space, this New York pizzeria makes its first Southern foray after building a following in cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Miami, Toronto and its Nolita origins. It's best known for the Spicy Spring — a thick-crust Sicilian square with a spicy-and-sweet red sauce, aged mozzarella, and an abundance of pepperoni cups — and routinely draws long lines and late-night crowds that are likely to attract King Street partiers seeking post-bar snacks. The brand remains very popular despite a 2021 backlash in which resurfaced screenshots showed apparently racist Yelp posts attributed to the founder; he and his son stepped down and the company issued a statement acknowledging past shortcomings and condemning racism. The Charleston shop will be run in partnership with a local operator to be announced closer to the opening." - Erin Perkins
