Pies-On Pizza Closed After 14 Years

Pies-On Pizza is closed.

The front windows, well known for advertising the Goose Creek restaurant's Italian fare, are blank. Hints of a popular eatery are still on the walls, but it's mostly a vacant storefront.

All that's left is a hand-written note on the door:

Sorry, but Pies-On is now closed. Thanks you for 14 years of patronage. The Ferro and Duncan Family. In loving memory of Johnny Ferro: founder of Pies-on (our father) and of Matthew Zayac: our friend and co-worker. Thanks you, everyone!

Patch food blogger Annabel Jones visited Pies-On last fall and gushed at the '80s style.

"The off-white and black checkered linoleum floors, wooden S-shaped booths, tables with red vinyl chairs and mural of the Brooklyn bridge on the wall conjured up my idea of what a New York-style pizzeria would have looked like 20 years ago," she said.

At the corner of the Shannon Park shopping center, Pies-On was on the edge of an important effort to redevelop downtown Goose Creek.

Late last year, the city cut the ribbon on a Central Avenue makeover in hopes of attracting more business, as well as free Wi-Fi access in the area to attract more businesses.

Pies-On's exit leaves an important hole that needs to be filled for a vibrant downtown scene.
