7 Best Pizza Places in Myrtle Beach

By Julia Diem Friday, December 16th, 2022

Each individual has his or her own idea of the perfect pizza, and with more than 180 eateries serving pizza in Myrtle Beach, guests at Vacation Myrtle Beach resorts must find it quite difficult making the choice of which to try first.

With plenty of great restaurants in Myrtle Beach, we’re sure you won’t go wrong with any you try while here. From typical Italian restaurants to those serving brick oven pizza or pizza by the slice, you won’t lack for variety here.

Here is a collection of what many visitors to the Grand Strand consider to be the best pizza restaurants.

Godfather’s Pizza

608 S Kings Hwy #4411, Myrtle Beach

Godfather’s Pizza started off more than 30 years ago as a small pizza parlor in Omaha, Nebraska. The eatery was so successful that it expanded so as to have more than 600 branches all the way across the country today.

Although many people tend to steer away from chain restaurants while on vacation, if you don’t have a Godfather’s Pizza in your hometown, it’s worth the visit, especially if you enjoy thick crust!

With plenty of time to perfect their recipes, you’ll find every pizza heaped with meats, fresh vegetables and loads of mozzarella cheese. At Godfather’s you can either dine in, order takeout, or have your pizza delivered to eat in the comfort of your vacation rental.

The menu is stacked with specialty and even an option to build your own pie. If you have a sweet tooth, add the Cinnamon Roll Streusel to your order for desert.

Benito’s Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta

1598 Hwy 17 S, North Myrtle Beach

Benito’s is a homely Italian trattoria located in North Myrtle Beach. The eatery menu specializes in pizzas with a handful of pastas, antipastos, and salads to add to your choice.

If you’d rather eat back at your rental, you can phone ahead to Benito’s and your pizza will be ready for you to collect in no time. For those choosing to dine in, you’ll find a really relaxed atmosphere waiting to welcome you.

Favorite menu items include their brick oven pizza, calzone, and stromboli. The classic pepperoni and veggie are truly great pizzas here!

Ducatis Pizzeria & Trattoria

960 Cipriana Dr B4, Myrtle Beach

At Ducatis Pizzeria & Trattoria, they have an excellent selection of pizzas on the menu as well as appetizers, calzones, strombolis, and entrees. They’ll even deliver your order if you’d rather stay comfortable in your rental or enjoy those extra 30 minutes at the resort pool.

The menu here is seriously huge so take your time browsing through to see if you're after a delicious pizza or another Italian delicacy.

Ultimate California Pizza

Multiple locations throughout the Grand Strand

The Ultimate California Pizza has six locations in Myrtle Beach, so you are never very far from one of them. Awarded the “Best of the Beach” year after year, you won’t be surprised why the moment you bite into your slice of pizza.

They offer 70 toppings to their pizzas, which come in three sizes, 8”, 12” and 14”. You’ll also find sandwiches, subs, pasta, salads and appetizers on the menu. Vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten sensitivity rejoice - Ultimate California Pizza has plenty of menu items for you, too.

In each location you can either dine in, carry out or they will deliver to your door.

Mellow Mushroom

1571 21st Ave N, Myrtle Beach

Mellow Mushroom has branches all over the southern and eastern states as well as a scattering of outlets in western and central areas. The pizzas here are larger than many other pizzerias, being 10”, 14” and 16”.

The extensive menu includes pizza, hoagies, calzones, and salads. You get the chance to make up your own filling for pizzas and calzones.

If you’re a beer aficionado then try out this hippie-style pizzeria, which offers more than 100 different beers.

Keep in mind that Mellow Mushroom doesn’t deliver, although they are located just steps away from the Pelican’s Stadium making it an easy stop before catching a baseball game.

Kings Famous Pizza

3511 Hwy 17 S, North Myrtle Beach

Kings Famous Pizza is a dine-in or takeaway pizzeria, just north along Hwy 17 from Barefoot Landing. The pizza menu is quite small but for the most part you get to choose your own toppings. The price of the pizza will depend on the number of toppings you choose.

In addition to pizza, they also serve pastas, subs, salads, gyros and desserts.

Gino’s Real New York Pizza

3521 Belle Terre Blvd, Myrtle Beach

The last pizza restaurant well worth a mention is Gino’s Real New York Pizza. Known for New York-style pizzas served in larger sizes than normal, 16”, 18”, and 20”, this is the place to go when you have a big appetite.

The décor here is unpretentious, with small square tables set on a checkered black and white floor. You might just feel as though you’ve left South Carolina and have stumbled into Little Italy.

Besides pizzas, Gino’s has appetizers, stromboli, calzones and a number of other choices. Gino’s will deliver or you can dine in or takeaway.
