Whenever we’re feeling saucy, we like to dig into a slice of local pizza. Greenville’s pizza scene is bubbling with options — and we keep finding ways to top ourselves. If you’re on the quest for the perfect slice, we’ve pie-oneered a list of 22 places to grab pizza that are definitely worth the dough.

It’s Delivery

Belladina’s Pizzeria of Greenville, 9 W. Washington St. | With pies like the Coppia and the Vesuvio, you’ll feel like you’re eating a slice in Italy.

Antonino Bertolo’s Pizza & Wine Bar, 200 N. Main St. | Did you really order from Antonio Bertolo’s if you didn’t get the garlic knots?

Bada Bing Pizzeria, 1860 Woodruff Rd., Ste. G | The pizza is as fun to eat as the name of the restaurant is to say.

Toppings Galore

Myles Pizza Pub, 555 S. Pleasantburg Dr. | Myles has been making pies for ~40 years, so we think it’s safe to say it knows pizza. City Editor Danielle’s tip: Order the cheesy bread and thank me later.

Basilico Greenville, 1175 Woods Crossing Rd., Ste. 10 | Basilico has toppings aplenty — from chicken alfredo pizza, to a Mediterranean Greek pizza.

“The Lovely Adventures of Lulu”

Author Holly Nunn is giving back to the Greenville community with her book, “The Lovely Adventures of Lulu”

Lulu, the titular dog from the children’s book “The Lovely Adventures of Lulu,” is giving back to the Greenville community. Author and Greenvillian Holly Nunn wrote this book about her dog’s traveling adventures, and a portion of the proceeds benefit the Greenville Humane Society.

Lulu is a worldly dog, and has traveled far and wide to places like:

Saratoga Springs, NY
Charlotte, NC
Greenville, SC
New York City

Told from Lulu’s point of view, the book follows the 9-year-old pup (and sometimes her canine bestie, Molly) on her many journeys as she “lives her best life.” The book features Lulu’s opinions on things like getting a new sibling, mischief making, and riding in a cart (spoiler alert: she does not care for it), and includes plenty of photos.
