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.
