Bertolo's Pizza

We have been weekly regulars for years. When the pizza is fresh and piping hot, the crust is amazingly crispy and doughy at the same time. The garlic knots are always a hit, this mama loves her big salad, and the cinnamon pizza is worth writing home about. And I do love the cauliflower crust BBQ chicken with jalapenos as a treat. The staff is friendly and always hard working, which keeps us coming back week after week.

Unfortunately what was the best pizza in town has fallen victim to the “we don’t care” attitude. The kitchen is full of people moving as slowly as possible. Orders are lost and no body cares that the line is out the door. Then after they find the order, they don’t read the order and make it wrong. Then after giving me the preset that say they can fix it if I really want them to. The competition is close and a much better experience. Truly the end of an era. No more Bertolo’s…

While the pizza was ok and price was good, I won’t be racing back for more. I can’t believe how much better the Boiling Springs Bertolos is than Pelham Road. They have the same taste but at Pelham Road the pizza was slightly over cooked so the little ones asked why they had meatballs on the pizza. Further, we rather disappointed with the amount of chocolate chips on our pizza.

I really don’t like having to do this review! This is a place that I have always enjoyed in the past. But today, even though the people were good and friendly, the place was really dirty and sticky on the walls and table I was at!! Plus it seems like to me that sometime since the last time I was there, somebody changed the dough recipe for the deep dish pizza. Don’t get me wrong, it was not so bad but it was not nearly as good as I remembered! I grew up on La Stradas pizza! Specifically Sicilian pizza and no one comes close to real Italian Sicilian pizza in the Greenville area but these guys came the closest including the one downtown. They have separate owners so I hope they didn’t change it. But the lack of cleanliness was the worst part. I am very disappointed. But I have to be honest.

I called and ordered ahead and the lady who took the order was very nice. When I got there, the food was ready. It was really good. This is one of the better pizzas i've had since I moved to this area. The salad was very fresh. Please note my pizza is dark because i ordered it well done. & There are no words to express how good the dough tastes! I will definitely go again.
