We were a family of four we all have our different opinions all the time but Renzo Pizza my all-time favorite the Caesar salad the empanadas I had the Kevin McAlister my three children had all different pizzas that were absolutely crispy. Delicious the flavors the spices excellent ambience the music was fantastic. I even went to the boss and said her playlist was great Tony, our waiter, phenomenal, attentive, funny personable. I would recommend this place. Just go and have a great time.

First time trying this place and I will definitely be back. The off street parking makes things easy for sure. A walk around Hampton park before eating was very enjoyable if that’s your thing. We got there with reservations no wait. Our waiter Tony was in a classic track suit which was awesome. He was very attentive and made the ordering process easy. We had the empanadas and Caesar salad to start which were both delicious and tasted super fresh. For the table we ordered only pizzas for entrees. The Margarita, the Fiona Apple, the Kevin McAlister and Porca Rosa. Every slice was delicious and the crust was crisp with a great chew. Adding a side of hot honey and ranch was an absolute must. Overall the experience was great the music was top notch. Please add this place to your TO DO. Will be back!!!

Renzo is one of those places that immediately earns a permanent spot on your must-return list. The wood-fired pizzas are beautifully done—light, blistered crusts with just the right balance of char and chew—and the pastas are rich, comforting, and clearly made with care.
But the standout? The gnocchi. Hands down the best gnocchi I’ve had in my life—pillowy, delicate, and perfectly sauced, the kind of dish you keep thinking about long after the plate is gone.
Everything here feels intentional, warm, and deeply satisfying. If you love Italian food done right, Renzo delivers every single time.

Fantastic food! Fantastic atmosphere! Fantastic service (we sat at the bar)! Native New Yorker telling you the pizzas — definitely not New York slices — were great, including the French onion pie. The pasta was homemade and hearty, and the ricotta dish, my Brooklyn-born and -raised Italian-American wife says, was one of the best dishes she has ever eaten. Can’t recommend it enough, though I don’t want to ruin its locals vibe.

we've visited Renzo three times now and we genuinely love it. We usually get a pizza, ceasar salad, ricotta gnudi, and a natural wine and it's hard to branch out after perfecting that combination. They have an impressive natural wine selection that is well curated (not overwhelming) and also begs you to branch out of your usual go-tos, but if you aren't a wine person they also have bartenders who can make whatever you are looking for. Also, do not sleep on the caesar salad - the texture and flavor of a classic (correctly made) caesar is elevated by crunchy toppings like pepitas and sesame seeds. The service team is lovely and the quality of their ingredients is what truly elevates each dish. Inside is a cozy, elevated neighborhood bar feel. Don't bother trying to walk in on a Fri/Sat, make a reservation in advance when possible.

Everything was excellent. The wood fire pizza was delicious as well as their Kale salad. So glad I found another pizza joint to satisfy all my needs!

Renzo is one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston and has the BEST pizza. And you can’t forget the ranch! It’s incredible. I’ve never had a bad experience here. The Kevin McCalister is my fav!

I am usually a harsh critic on Google Reviews, so I don’t usually like to give 5 stars. But, I saw Renzo does have a bunch of reviews so I figured I wouldn’t be as harsh. 5 stars for Renzo!
The French Onion pizza was spectacular. My mom and brother got wine, and that looked pretty good.
My only complaint is we ordered some meatballs off of the happy hour menu and they were tiny… like super tiny… like penny sized. And I like to eat. But now I know the pizza is better bang for my buck.
I enjoyed the pizza, the service, and the environment!
Waiter called me “annoying”. Caesar salad was sour. Pesto and pepperoni pizza were good but friend said “glad we weren’t very hungry”. Would not recommend to a friend. But bathroom smelled good.

Renzo provided me with the BEST pizza I’ve ever had. Not just in Charleston, but from anywhere, ever. The flavor rollercoaster of the Mulberry Street pizza was a ride I didn’t want to end. So, I got another one to go. Also, they have homemade ranch. Excellent and attentive staff.
