“ I got a 12 inch Sausage lovers pizza and it was great. The pizza was crisp and delicious. ”
“ I’m OBSESSED. I come from NJ so it’s safe to say I love pizza but also have high standards for it. I’ve lived in the south for a few years now and I’ve been trying to find good pizza everywhere I go. Well folks, this is as close to NJ pizza as it gets for the south. I will absolutely be going here again soon. Prices are average, quality is insanely good, and it was delivered (through UberEats) pretty fast. I will say, go for the bigger size when ordering any type of pizza. I wasn’t sure about how big everything would be so for the specialty pizza I got (Spinach white pizza), I ordered the medium which is 14”. The other pie I ordered was just classic pepperoni but it was an extra large. Both were delicious and filling. I can’t wait to try more food from here! (NOTE: The pictures were taken hours after so they don’t do the pizza justice; it was way more appetizing than the pictures) ”

“ Great lunch specials for two large slices. So good! Service is fast for the quality you get. They also have started selling pizza dough and sauce they make in-house, 5/5 stars for a time saver for dinner if I’m already out to eat. Tastes great too. ”
“ Best pizzeria in Columbia. I’m from NYC and this is where we go to enjoy the best pizza like we enjoyed at home. When we visit other Yankees and bring one of Schiano’s pizzas- they too comment on the quality of the ingredients and the crust and the fresh taste as being the best around. Thanks Frank! ”
“ After being in Columbia for around 3 years, I have tried multiple Pizza Joints... Schiano's has Amazing Everything!! I just recently started trying out their pizza, and I am addicted! The service is Great, All Food (so far) has been Great!! The kitchen staff definitely knows what they are doing, unfortunately the younger gt the ”
“ This place is a Jewel. Small feel of a local pizza parlor, with excellent Italian dishes. You order at a counter to eat in like an old school pizza parlor. Pizza slice specials. I saw lots if pick ups of food while dining in. Our food was very delicious and rich. Cheesy and delicious, not overly heavy and it was done so quickly. A calzone usually would take forever, but it was done in a flash. I would go again anytime. ”
“ Call me crazy, but this location is much better than the two notch road one. Definitely more "New York style" big foldable slices with thin crust. I deliver their mail and they are always super nice. ”
