Coastal Crust joins growing Village of West Greenville.

Coastal Crust Greenville is the latest addition to a growing Village of West Greenville. The Charleston-based pizza catering company has opened a brick-and-mortar location at 1254 Pendleton St.

The catering company expanded to Greenville in 2016 with plans to open a restaurant location. The transition from full-service catering to a full-service restaurant has allowed Coastal Crust Greenville to expand its menu and footprint in the community, according to a news release. The company's Greenville truck is a restored 1955 Chevy outfitted with a wood-fired Mugnaini pizza oven offering an Italian menu on wheels. The truck is still available for catering in the greater Greenville area.

The menu is inspired by traditional Italian cooking with ingredients being the focus of the dishes. Fresh, locally sourced produce and humanely raised meats are offered daily. Additionally, the restaurant features a small retail section offering a selection of imported Italian pantry staples. The marketplace includes pasta sauce, canned tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar and dried pastas, the release said.

"We chose the Village of West Greenville a few years ago as a perfect location for our business," Coastal Crust business partner Bryan Lewis told GSA Business Report. "We started by purchasing 1180 Pendleton St. to locate our operations for our catering business. After a few years here we knew we wanted to build our first brick and mortar restaurant in Greenville in the same neighborhood. We have really enjoyed this community and look forward to growing with the area."

Once a neighborhood in decline, the Village of West Greenville is developing into much more than the art district label attached to it. In addition to the more than half a dozen art galleries and studios, the area has a variety of shops and restaurants.
