Many locals on the north end of the Grand Strand know where to go for some good Italian food in a friendly environment without breaking the bank. Pizzeli’s Italian Oven on U.S. 17 North just past Mineola Avenue has become a well-known restaurant in Little River in the nearly five years it’s been around.

Friends are frequently seen meeting up in the parking lot, business partners take their lunch break here, families get their fill of pizza, and all of this before noon. Even the bar sees its fair share of business early in the day, although of course the Pizzeli’s busiest hours are in the evening, when often a line leads out the doors.
