“We love the food as much as the people at Tandem - or is it the other way around?

“This is chef’s kiss perfection and a much-deserved review! A girl coming from the pizza capitol of the USA, I’ve had a lot of pizza in my life—but nothing prepared me for the culinary masterpiece that is the Peachy Keen Pizza at the Simpsonville location. This isn’t just food—it’s a full-blown flavor experience. From the first bite, I was transported. The base is brushed with a fragrant rosemary garlic oil that sets the stage with earthy, aromatic depth. Then come the sweet, sun-kissed local peaches, their juicy brightness cutting through the richness like a summer breeze. Just when you think it can’t get better, in comes the savory prosciutto, thin and perfectly crisped, adding a salty, umami punch that balances the sweetness like a dream. And then—feta cheese. Tangy, creamy, and just crumbly enough to melt into the other ingredients, it ties everything together with a Mediterranean flair. But wait, there’s more: a balsamic glaze drizzled with the precision of an artist, adding a dark, syrupy tang that elevates every bite. Fresh basil leaves bring a pop of green and a burst of herbal freshness, while their signature spicy honey finishes it all off with a sweet heat that lingers just long enough to make you crave the next bite. This pizza is bold. It’s balanced. It’s brilliant. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite, look around the room, and say, “Are you tasting this?!” If you’re anywhere near Simpsonville, do yourself a favor and get to this spot. The Peachy Keen Pizza breaks the rules and rewrites them with elegance and flair. Trust me—your taste buds will never be the same.“
