Danny’s Pizza and Pasta

I had a wonderful experience at Danny’s last week. I was unsure of what slice of pizza I wanted from the counter when the young lady behind the counter recommended the stuffed meat slice. She informed me the mountain of a man named Danny by the oven who was strangely not the owner made it and it was delicious — I HAD to try it. It was delicious, and everyone there was so nice. I cant wait to try the pasta!

Maybe we just had a bad experience the other night, but our service was horribly slow and started out with the waitress apologizing for her not clearing the only available table for us for 5 minutes while we stood next to it. Then she didn’t get our drink order for several more minutes. Finally the manager came over to at least get the drinks. When they came, they tasted horrible and the waitress (had to flag her down) made an excuse that the ice machine was in disrepair and making all the sodas taste wrong. Interesting. If that was the case wouldn’t you think that they might have told us before taking our drink orders? But oh well.
Ordered an appetizer of garlic knots. They arrived after 10 minutes and tasted old — like they sat out for a while and were re-​warmed and they weren’t good. We didn’t eat them. To their credit, they brought fresh ones without us saying anything and those were much better.
The food was average for a pizza joint in Fort Mill, which isn’t saying much. It’s ok, not bad but not great either.
Some of the other items on the menu looked good as we saw other tables receiving their orders. Maybe we’ll give it another try and order something other than pizza and get recyclable drinks!

I’ve only had the pizza but if you like white pizza, you need to try the white with meatball… I’ve had a lot of white pizza and this may just be my favorite! Of course the classic pepperoni is also a winner. Definitely call ahead because they’re usually packed, especially on a Friday night… my only complaint is that usually they under quote me on wait time and it ends up being more like an hour rather than 45 minutes on a Friday night. I’ve gone a few times on Sunday and the wait is much shorter. Also, there are not a lot of places to sit so I just pick up my food to go.

Idiot answering the phone, talked me out of ordering from them because she wasn’t sure I was within their delivery area. I explained that I was within 2 miles (according to Unilocal), but she said that was probably close enough but wasn’t sure because she couldn’t ask her driver. Her recommendation was that I come pick up my order or look for another pizza place closer… Really? I have at least 5 other places to order form, that are easily more than 2 miles away and will deliver. I won’t be calling, or stoping by… Heck, Luigi’s is closer than they are… And Luigi’s is the best pizza in Charlotte.

Pizza was pretty good better than anything you can get from pizza hut or papa johns. I had the Chicken Alfredo with a side salad. It was yummy and the side salad was pretty big I almost got full off it.

Pizza was awesome… Menu was good. Lots of options. Service was slow. Looks like delivery is their main business. After waiting 15 minutes for my order of two slices… Watched cook grab a slice of cold pizza and throw it in the oven. Tasted good but was a bit soggy after being reheated? Asked waitress to split check and waited another 5 minutes and she came back with the same check totaled together. Just paid it because I could not wait any longer.
Will never return!

I just called to order a large pie and I was told and I quote «we are out of that». A pizzeria that can’t make large pies because they are «out of that» are you serious? Also had repeat my phone number like 5 times to the person on the phone. Never got a chance to even try the pizza but based on the customer service over the phone I won’t be.

Had lunch here with my honey and there were several yummy lunch special options all under $ 10! There was also several «slices of the day» that were available for the pizza specials. We had the garlic knots to start which were great and I had a chicken, bacon & garlic slice, while my fiancé had the rigatoni with vodka sauce and added chicken. Both choices came with your typical pizza parlor side salad– fresh but nothing special. However, I was really wow’d at the end with the chocolate dipped canoli we got. So. Fabulous! Service was good, and we will definitely be back!

Here it is, my 1000’th review of 2015. A pizza joint in Fort Mill, SC. Danny’s is a nice looking spot at the end of this small strip plaza that is an outparcel of the Walmart Supercenter.
A gelato bar at the left when you enter and then the counter with fresh pizza slices available further back. Of course, they do a lot more than pizza but that’s all I felt like having today. So I picked my slice and the gal had it heated up and brought to me a few moments later.
Sicilian-​style, meatball and ricotta. Plenty hot, nice and tasty. I loved the crispy crunchy pizza crust underneath and the toppings completely covered it. Very tasty. I’ll have to come back here for something more than just a slice.
There’s an outside patio, which is nice. If you can ignore the fact that it overlooks a Walmart parking lot.

Dannys has the best pizza in the Charlotte area hands down. I order from them at least once a week for the last 18 months or so and its been on point almost every time. The 1 – 2 times out of 75+ it wasn’t absolutely perfect they took care of it for me without any type of issues or having to argue with management team. Danny (the owner) and Danny (the manager) both clearly realize that their customers make the business go and do what they can to keep you happy. 5 stars for the service you receive and 5 stars (only because I can’t give more) for the pizza. Absolutely amazing food with just as amazing management running the place. I was considering 2 homes to purchase recently that I was very undecided on. Honestly, the fact that one of them was in Dannys delivery area played into my decision because the properties were so close to the same to me. Outstanding pizza !!! Highly recommend to anyone who doesn’t want the mediocre pizza of the national chains!

The pizza was, meh… It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. New York style pizza is served here. The dough was just that, doughy. The sauce was pretty bland. The toppings were bland as well. We got our pizzas for carry out but while I was inside I could see that the place was clean and kept up. And the staff was very friendly. I just wish the pizza was better.

Pizza is great… But don’t forget about their Italian dishes! Weekly specials never disappoint and chicken parm is always on point!
Bread is average– not a fan of their garlic knots or French loaf that come with dishes. Usually order the appetizer cheesy garlic bread to make up for it.
My favorite thing about Danny’s is their marinara, wish they would jar and sell!
Also, favorite cannoli I’ve ever tasted. Often stop by just to pick up a cannoli. Homemade chocolate cake also a treat.

Pizza is good but pasta is not as good. Too much sauce on my ravioli — was drowning. Also tea in not brewed. Waitress said «place is owned by a New Yorker that does not drink tea — so he won’t let us brew it. She has offered to brew it but has been told not to. «. Too bad.

I am a big fan of good pizza, I love to eat it, smell it cooking and thinking of different pizza topping combinations. I do not eat chain pizza! This place is like eating with family, it is close to the house so we can cruise over on the golf cart and enjoy dine in or carry out. Pizzas a huge with big foldable slices, great fresh dough and toppings every time. Staff is very friendly and they have a good selection of bottle beer.

Absolutely the best pizza around. Order here when you need a pizza fix. If you get the huge pie, at most places quality goes down a little. Not here, every slice was devoured during super bowl. Great service as well. I also hear the owners are great people through the vine. What’s not to like.

The first time I had Danny’s pizza (cheese), it was very good and made me want to have it again. The second time, my wife and I got two slices of pepperoni pizza and garlic knots. The garlic knots were very good, but the pepperoni pizza was super greasy. I had to lay two paper towels on top of the pizza slice to soak up the grease before I could eat it. I then wrapped the wadded up greasy paper towel in another paper towel, and the grease soaked through that second paper towel. After soaking up all the grease, the pizza was pretty good, but why so greasy to begin with? I would give the pizza another chance, but may stick to plain cheese pizza if the pepperoni is going to be that greasy. On the plus side, the service and the garlic knots were both excellent.

Perfect NY style pizza !
I’m so pleased we took a risk tonight and tried something new. My whole family loved this pizza. We will be ordering pizza at least once a week from now on.

I know I’m going to be the 1 millionth New Yorker to rate «New York» style pizza in the carolinas. What all of us «Yankees» need to realize is that we are not in New York anymore and we have to make due with what is available to us.
That being said, I entered Danny’s Pizza and Pasta in Tega Cay, SC with not a lot of expectations. It was right before lunch, so I grabbed a couple of slices to go. The cashier was friendly and the place was clean, so we are off to a good start.
I sat in my car, throw open the box and liked what I saw. Looked just like the stuff I grew up eating. The smell was wonderful. I guess I should mention I was starving. The pizza was delicious. It wasn’t spot on NY pizza, but it was really freaking good. If I had any critique, it would be that there was something missing in the sauce and they could have left the slices in the oven a minute longer. That’s just being picky. Danny’s is definitely a hit in my book. Can’t wait to go back.

I’ve been in the Charlotte area since 1994 and have found a couple decent places for pizza but Danny’s is the first place that I truly feel is special. It might be because they have Sicilian slices that I haven’t had so good since leaving N.Y.
Their Grandma’s slices are Sicilian thick slabs covered with fresh, chunky tomatoes and fresh basil. It really reminds me of the way my grandmother made pizza. Maybe that’s why I like Danny’s so much. But if it is that is as good a reason as any.
Best pizza in the Charlotte area!

Awesome Pizza, easily the best Pizza in Fort Mill. But for Pizza it’s SUPER expensive. My last 3 topping pizza was around $ 25!
If you’re willing to anti up for some above average pizza, give it a try.
