Pieology: the study of custom pizza.
Last month I had the pleasure of attending the pre-grand opening of Pieology's newest location in North Charleston. To be honest, I had never heard of Pieology before. But if anyone knows my love of pizza, then you would understand why this invite was so exciting for me.
We were greeted with a warm welcome and a lesson behind how it all started. I was not only impressed with the quality and freshness of the food but also with their community involvement. They pride themselves on house-made crust, signature sauces and dozens of fresh toppings. They actually don't even own freezers, further emphasizing their belief in fresh not frozen. And as for the pie-lanthropy, they support their local communities by working with people on various fundraising events to raise money for various causes.
You can order off the menu or create your own custom pie. I decided to build my own. You first choose a crust from their list of house made original, whole wheat or gluten free. Next you select your oils which include herb butter, olive oil and a butter alternative, followed by a selection of five different sauces and then your choice of six different cheeses. And last but not least is the selection from their endless choice of toppings.
How good does this pizza look?!

My husband created his own as well. Let's just say that neither of us needed a to-go box.
We finished off dinner with a chocolate churro dessert pizza. The thin crust was brushed with butter, drizzled with a sweet cream sauce, topped with cinnamon sugar and Ghiradelli Barista chocolate chips. It was the perfect sweet treat to end our meal with.
