Fireside SC, Moncks Corner

Trevor’s take:

This was a really solid pie, and that's saying something because we basically ordered it with the training wheels off. They normally hit this thing with a hot honey drizzle, but we skipped it because Jeremy's digestive system operates like it's collecting Social Security.

The crust was the star of the show. Crispy, nicely charred, and somehow ridiculously light at the same time. It had that dangerous quality where you can put away slice after slice without feeling remotely full, then suddenly realize you've eaten an entire pizza and are staring into an empty box questioning your life choices.

The cup-and-char pepperoni was plentiful, which is always the sign of a respectable establishment. Those little grease chalices are the pinnacle of pepperoni evolution, and they delivered. The cheese was balanced too—not overly rich, not greasy, just enough to let the crust and pepperoni do their thing.

Even without sauce, this pie was an easy 7.9. That's not a charity score; it's a legitimately good pizza. The real intrigue here is the version we're supposed to be eating. If the sauce ties everything together the way it's intended to, I could easily see this jumping into the 8.2–8.4 range.

Final score: 7.9. Strong showing.

Jeremy’s take:

I could eat here on the daily. Chef Sean has it figured out. He’s a craftsman. I’m a huge fan of the cup and char. I have had mixed results on the hot honey so I order without. The pie is a perfect lunch pie. It leaves you with a slice or two for later.

The dough… Trevor already covered it. Yes it’s that good. The cheese is great. The fresh hand grated Pecorino Romano after it comes out adds a nice touch.

The price point is good. I’ve heard people complain in passing on price, but those are the same people who think Kings Pizza is good. You’re wrong. This isn’t Little Caesars Hot and Ready. This is quality hand crafted food. You pay for the difference.

Solid 7.9 on the DP scale. Absolute BEST in Moncks Corner. Don’t come at me with the Benny’s is here, Benny’s uses a cheese blend similar to Marcos. I said what I said.

Pizza A Modo Mio SC

Jeremy’s review: The Roman style is an experience. A great one at that. I have never had it before so can’t really compare it. It’s very tasty. It’s definitely going to be one of my go tos for a lunch pie.

There was zero flop. It was perfect. The undercarriage was cooked perfectly. The crispy texture was pleasant. The cheese to sauce ratio is different. Can’t really explain it.

I give it a 8.2 with the possibility of a 8.3 if I added cold raw onion afterwards.

Perfect setup would be to order two and have them double cut. Take it to the beach. 🏝️

There is quite possibly a new “Best Detroit” in the Lowcountry. I love Toni's Detroit Style Pizza in Mt. Pleasant and it WAS the standard to be graded against. Rotolo's has an amazing pie also, but I just had the Roni from Pizza A Modo Mio SC from two of their locations. Hands down, you’ve gotta get this. The only complaint I’ve heard is that the sauce was a bit sweeter than others, but I’m fine with it. Solid 8.0

Trevor's review: The roman was surprising since we've never had anything like it before. Very crisp, light sauce and olive oil create a very light and easy to eat pie perfect for the summer. The slight sweetness of Mike's sauce plays really well in this pie paired with the oil and cheese. Not 100% sure how to rate it since I've never had anything like it but it was very good. I'll give it a 7.9 only because I've never had anything like it but I'm also not sure ill have a better roman.

The Detroit style for me is what really shined. As a Detroit native growing up on Louies, Buddies and Shields this pie made me feel like I was back home. Wonderfully executed with a consistently thick cheese crust around the exterior from the brick cheese in a lloyds pan. Very crispy and airy dough makes for a delicious experience. The first time we had it I thought the sauce was too sweet but this time it played much better. Not sure if it was due to being fresh this time or what. But this pie is right up there with Louies for me. It is an easy 9 in my book. If you are a Detroit fan you'll love this, and if you've never had one before give this a try.

Sadly I forgot to take a picture of the Detroit before it was devoured but you can find a picture in a previous post.

Pizza A Modo Mio SC you're up. Pie Patrol is headed to try your Roman pie this week.

04/22/2026

Sadly, we are unable to review a pizzeria for April. Schedule conflicts and family emergencies have dealt us a defeat. May, we're coming for you. Definitely a BOLO for May.

03/29/2026

Alright, April and May are just around the corner. We’re aiming to hit Pizza A Modo Mio SC for their Roman by Mike Pitera, and Fireside SC for the Cup & Char by Chef Sean. These two are going to be on a BOLO for sure.

Trev - I like the pizza here, it is a little off profile for what we normally go for with the addition of provolone which I know Jeremy doesn’t like but I think it adds a nice little punch, plus I like how it melts.

Their sauce is good, slightly above average however the dough is well above average. High quality toppings as well.

Overall I’d give it a 7.6. The service was fantastic, we tried to get 1 pizza half cheese half pepperoni and they made a full pepperoni so the server informed us we would be getting a 2nd pizza that was just cheese on the house.

Jeremy - I am NOT a fan of provolone. I was a bit hesitant 😕. The pepperoni pizza was cooked perfectly. Good undercarriage and dough had a great flavor profile. The sauce was subtle. The cheese blend murdered it for me. The dough would be in the high 7’s. The sauce a solid 7.5 but when I factor in the cheese blend it tanks. I’m a 6.4 for this pie. It’s edible’ish. Service was amazing.
