Best Places to Get Pizza in Hilton Head
Guiseppi’s Pizza & Pasta House
If you ask locals where to find the most iconic pizza on Hilton Head, Guiseppi’s is almost always the first name that comes up. A staple on the island, this family-owned pizzeria is committed to quality—from their hand-cut meats and veggies to the slow-simmered signature sauce that gives every pie its rich, comforting flavor.
Their pizzas strike the perfect balance of crispy crust, melty cheese, and perfectly seasoned toppings. Whether you love a loaded supreme or a simple margherita, every slice tastes like it’s made with care. Beyond pizza, the menu is packed with delicious sandwiches, pastas, and salads, making it a great option for a group. With dine-in, takeout, and delivery, Guiseppi’s is also one of the easiest ways to enjoy a cozy dinner in your Host & Home vacation rental.
Local Pie
For a creative twist on traditional pizza, Local Pie is a must-visit. As Hilton Head’s first and only true Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizzeria, they specialize in handcrafted pies cooked to perfection in a 900-degree oven. The result? A lightly charred, chewy crust and toppings that are bright, fresh, and flavorful.
Their menu features classics like the Margherita, but it’s their signature combinations—think house-made sausage, seasonal vegetables, truffle oil, and inventive sauces—that keep guests coming back for more. With a fun, casual atmosphere and a strong commitment to using local ingredients, Local Pie delivers a unique pizza experience that’s both upscale and approachable.
Fat Baby’s Pizza & Subs
If you're looking for a lively, laid-back pizza joint with big portions and bold flavors, Fat Baby’s is the place to be. Loved by locals, this cheerful spot serves generously sized pizzas loaded with toppings, plus hearty subs, salads, and appetizers that make it great for families and groups.
Their specialty pies—like the “Fat Baby” topped with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and olives—are packed with flavor and perfect for those who want a little bit of everything. It’s the kind of place where you can come straight from the pool or beach, grab a casual bite, and leave completely satisfied.
