The Really Big Meatball at Risata Pizza

Meatball at Risatas

This is a $10 meatball and it’s the size of a baseball (and yes, it’s an app). And remarkably, it resembles a molten chocolate lava cake in this way: when you cut into it, mozzarella cheese oozes out. It’s one delicious party trick surrounded by house-made spicy marinara.

Everything is handmade delish at Risata in Greer. Go visit proprietor Joe Gilman and see for yourself. His Napoli-style pizza is mad good (esp if you order it extra crispy). Want to try something new? Try the Fig & Pig pizza topped with fig preserves, candied bacon, fresh mozzarella, gorgonzola cheese & mint.

Risata is a friendly fun casual spot to hang with friends or family with stellar parking (oh phew, what a relief).
