Pizza Artista - Carolina Township

So I 'm giving Pizza Artista a 3 star review, and it has nothing to do with their food-it 's terrific. Last night I took my wife and my dad here for dinner, and while we enjoyed our meal there was one huge problem. This place is woefully understaffed. So the setup for this restaurant is like Moe 's or Blaze Pizza, the latter of which has this concept executed very well. You stand in line and each team member goes down the line with you, building your pizza and baking it in the oven. This usually takes 5-7 people to keep ticket times down. Unfortunately, during our visit, there were only 3 people on the line and as a result my family and I were standing at the counter for nearly 30 minutes. I mentioned this to a staff member and he agreed that they needed more people. I asked what the starting pay was and he said about $9 an hour plus tips. One would assume this is directly related to why they 're understaffed, and not just this place, but restaurants across the board. Anyways, when we finally got our food, the pizzas were delicious and Dad 's calzone was also finished in one sitting. The food is great, especially for the price point. My advice for people wanting to try this place would be to call in a to go order and come pick it up, and avoiding the lengthy waits in the line. Another cool option would be to have the ability to take an uncooked pizza home and bake it in your own oven, like Basil 's down in Savannah. Anyways, we 'll be back, but hopefully the staffing issue will be solved by then. Good food, great price point, awfully long waits.

Unique pizza made fresh as you walk through the line. New owners took over yesterday and they were very friendly. The pizza pictured is the figin awesome. It was extremely tasty although the Tasso ham really drowns the flavors of the other ingredients so if you're not a fan I'd order it without the Tasso. Also got a plain pepperoni pizza and it was delicious as well!

We had two awesome and very tasty pizzas (The Fig-N-Awesome and Classic Cajun). Superb customer service! We will be back!

Great pizza ?, staff was very friendly and helpful being it was my first visit and will definitely try again. Short staffed, but still working very hard to provide great customer service.

I do not return to this place that disgusting I lost my money my first time in this place and not vulvo ... I do not recommend them
