A few weeks ago, UBJ announced that the popular Charleston pizza truck Coastal Crust is headed to Greenville this summer with a newly restored 1955 Chevy and a wood-fired Valoriani pizza oven to serve Neapolitan-style pizza. Today, we’re announcing their brick-and-mortar location will be at 1180 Pendleton St. in the Village of West Greenville.
Coastal Crust’s unique approach to catering events has found a loyal fanbase in Charleston, where the truck caters weddings, special events and corporate events throughout the year. Besides the pizza oven, the Coastal Crust truck is equipped with a custom tap system for pouring local brews, a sound system and refrigeration for storing fresh salads.
Coastal Crust Greenville will rely heavily on fresh produce from local farmers and the future Feed & Seed nonprofit farmers’ distribution network.
Coastal Crust pizzas have a thin, crispy crust cooked in a wood-fired oven. The pizzas only take 2-3 minutes to cook and can be loaded with a lot of fresh, seasonal ingredients.
For the Greenville expansion, Brian Piesner and Mickey DeMatteis of Coastal Crust Charleston have partnered with Bryan Lewis, owner/operator of Charleston’s Básico, a Mexican restaurant; Mixson Bath & Racquet Club; and Mixson Market.
Lewis hopes to have the catering kitchen and truck up and running by July. Renovations to the bungalow on Pendleton Street will take a little longer, but Lewis says it should be completed by the end of this year. The restaurant will also include a large outdoor event space in the rear.
Coastal Crust Greenville will also be working closely with Reedy River Farms which has purchased a lot next door to the space. Plans are to turn that into an urban farm, said Lewis.
