“ Amazing Neapolitan pizza, crust was flaky and overall delicious. Had the Kevin Mcallister pizza which I would highly highly recommend. Get the ranch as a side! ”
“ Renzo is the coziest neighborhood pizza joint. Quality of the food is so good. Great price for good pizza. Did I mention they have the best Ranch dressing? Do not sleep on a side of Ranch for your pizza. Trust me. This is coming from someone who doesn’t like ranch. Then their budino for dessert. SO good!! ”
“ Consistently excellent. Always look forward to meals here for date nights or groups. The pizzas are delicious, but don’t skip out on the oysters, veggies, and salads! Typically few kids here (no kids menu), but you could make it work if you had to. Cocktails are fantastic. Always a great meal at Renzo. ”
“ Renzo is a sublime example on how to run a restaurant; from the exceptional quality food to the impeccable service. From the hostess, efficient servers, and the chefs who craft each pizza like it's their very last. Seriously, each of the pies they put out look like pieces of art. I cannot recommend them enough! ”
“ We had our wedding at Renzo, and it was truly everything we dreamed of and more. First of all, the space is the most romantic venue you could imagine — the lighting alone & windows create such a magical atmosphere that made the entire evening feel unforgettable. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every single dish exceeded our expectations, and our guests are still talking about how incredible everything tasted. Huge thanks to Chef Colin for crafting such a thoughtful and delicious menu — his talent truly made the night. A special thank you to Nayda, whose support and coordination made everything run so smoothly. From start to finish, we felt taken care of and completely at ease. Our guests had an amazing time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important day. We’re so grateful to the entire team at Renzo for making our wedding so special. ”
“ Neighborhood pizza spot you have to check out! Limited seating so make a reservation, have patience to wait or arrive early to snag some bar seats. Staff has been nothing but kind to us over the years whether we’re grabbing to go or dining in! Also, we've never had an experience here that was a "miss". 11/10 every time - service, food, environment, etc. Our favorites: their margarita pizza with a side of hot honey, lemon potatoes and blueberry budino. Parking recommendation: it’s downtown and on a street with limited parking, so find a spot in the neighborhood and enjoy the walk if able bodied, if not i’d recommend ubering or dropping your party member(s) off at the door. ”
“ Came for an early dinner with some friends before a show and was not disappointed. Located in a little pocket sort of near Hampton Park, expect to spend a minute circling the block to find parking. Renzo is unassuming but light and bright in a corner spot with tables and booths and a normal bar. We were early enough for unexpected Happy Hour specials (on a Saturday) and took full advantage - meatballs and discount cocktails. Meatballs were soft and moist and flavorful with 4 per order. Miso were better than the Roman (strong sauce with almost raw garlic) but we liked both. Drinks were all solid, from Happy Hour on. Get the guava-lychee drink. The rest of the menu is split into pizzas and not pizzas and we picked a few from both. The Caesar and most other dishes are perfectly portioned for one or to share amongst a table of four. We ended up having the Caesar, two “not pizzas”, the two orders of meatballs, and two pizzas and it was perfect for our group at a great price. Some dishes were a split like/don’t like (lemony potatoes & desserts), but as a whole we didn’t have a bad bite. A great spot for a little less than a la fancy pizza & pasta dinner, Renzo delivers. ”
“ Super dope place we went to on a Saturday night. Staff were friendly and attentive. Unbeknownst to us we were there during happy hour. Got the miso, and Roman meatballs which were delish. We followed that up with a margarita pizza which was just perfect. Only negative is the parking but if you live in Charleston you know how to overcome and figure it out. ”
