Charleston Animal Society

50% of Grand Opening Charity Day’s Net Sales to Benefit Local Non-Profit

CHARLESTON, South Carolina – (October 3, 2016) – Pieology Pizzeria, where pizza lovers go to create artisan-style custom pizzas in endless flavor combinations for one affordable price, is proud to announce its first South Carolina location has officially opened in the city of Charleston. To celebrate the opening, Pieology raised over $2,200 for local non-profit, Charleston Animal Society, to assist with animal care. The restaurant donated 50% of net sales from their grand opening charity day on Friday, September 23rd to benefit the organization. Pieology Charleston also celebrated their grand opening with a Pizza-Palooza a day earlier, where they gifted 5,200 pizzas (52 vouches valid for one free pizza) to the first 100 customers to purchase a pizza and join Pieology’s email club, “Pie Life”.

“We’re thrilled to be in Charleston and have the opportunity to introduce Pieology’s custom dining experience to area residents,” said Segovia Aslan Enterprise’s Director of Marketing and PR, Chuck McAulay. “We look forward to becoming more involved with the community and invite our new neighbors to stop in, say hello, and create a custom pizza or salad, inspired by their own unique flavor preferences, always for one affordable price.”

The Pieology experience starts with fresh house-made dough that is pressed into 11.5-inch thin pizza crusts, which is typically larger than others in the custom pizza space. Guests select from eight signature sauces, moving down the line to choose from more than 40 fresh and flavorful meats, cheeses, vegetables, herbs and spices. The customized pizzas are then stone oven fired to perfection in less than three minutes. To finish, guests have the option to add after-bake “Flavor Blast” sauces, including fiery buffalo, pesto and BBQ, to really make it their own! Pieology also offers gluten-free crust, whole wheat crust and a selection of seven signature pizzas, which can be customized upon request.

Pieology’s custom salads allow guests to create made-to-order salads by choosing from three fresh lettuce options of organic field greens, romaine hearts or spinach. Guests then select from any of Pieology’s large variety of toppings, including sunflower seeds, garbanzo beans and candied walnuts, along with a choice of five dressings made in-house. Pieology also offers a signature Classic and Caesar salad, which can be personalized with additional ingredients upon request. The generous portioned salad and pizza are the perfect pairing for a shareable meal.

“We’d like to thank the community for a very warm welcome and for coming out to support the Charleston Animal Society, a non-profit that is near and dear to our hearts,” said Pieology Charleston’s general manager, Brandon Studebaker. “This partnership is the first of many as community, family and friends are at the heart of the Pieology family and we hope to continue to support local organizations that have a positive impact on the lives of our guests.”

Pieology Charleston features an industrial-chic and friendly environment where inspirational quotes decorate the walls, menus and employee uniforms. The restaurant is open Sunday – Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Friday – Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
