Sidewall Pizza Company takes the trophy
GVLtoday Pizza Winner
And the bracket winner is… Sidewall Pizza Company, voted best pizza shop in Greenville by our readers and social media followers in our GVLtoday pizza bracket. Every time you grab a pie from Sidewall, it donates a portion to the Sidewall Pizza Community Fund — a fund used to donate to individuals, families, and organizations in need in the area. We think that’s worth celebrating.

We want to extend a major “thank you” to all of you for participating in our bracket challenge the past few weeks. We’ve had a blast seeing how the votes shook out, and we hope you did too. Looking for more pizza shops around town? Click below and check out our pizza guide.
 
The Buy
 
The handy dandy jar opener you never knew you needed. Mount it under a kitchen cabinet and easily twist open jars and bottles with one hand. Bonus: The jar opener was designed to be easy to use for older adults and those with carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis.
