• Coming from New York to South Carolina locating a pizza remotely close was a challenge until I found Schiano’s at the time they were located in Columbia Mall, that’s how long I’ve been eating their pizza.
  I visited a few months ago and was ecstatic to see that familiar face…that full head of black hair is now gray however their pizza is still delicious. (Nextdoor Honey Tree)
