The app serving up social media for foodies (and how to use it in Greenville)

Anyone can be a food influencer in Greenville with Beli, which allows you to track and share your favorite restaurants with your friends.

This photo captures a vibrant and inviting dining setup. In the foreground, a wood-fired pepperoni pizza sits on a stand, slightly out of focus. To the right, there’s a colorful salad in a bowl, featuring fresh greens, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts, pickled onions, mozzarella, and pesto. A fork is resting in the salad bowl.

On the table next to the salad, there’s a smartphone displaying the word "beli" on its screen, suggesting it might be related to a dining or food app. A glass of water and a small carafe of red-colored drink (possibly a juice or cocktail) complete the scene. The table's warm wooden tones and a brick wall in the background add a cozy, rustic feel.

Get a pizza Beli.

Imagine social media and connecting with your friends, but it’s all about food and where you’re eating. There’s an app for that. Meet Beli, a way to:

  • Log your culinary adventures
  • Rate your favorite spots
  • Create personalized restaurant lists
  • Follow your foodie friends

Like other social media apps, Beli allows you to set goals (think: your reading goal on Goodreads) + gives you a recap at the end of the year (think: your Spotify Wrapped).

Rather than scoring yourself, Beli compares your experiences to assign scores.

City Editor Danielle here. I discovered Beli while traveling last year, eating my way through New York City. After ranking my bites along the trip, it didn’t take long for me to add all of my favorite Greenville spots to my lists. Plus, I’ve set a goal for the new year: 25 new restaurants in 2025. Care to join me?
