Charlie & Debbie

Student At A South Carolina University Prepares To Open New York Pizzeria In Nearby Beach Area

Author Debbie Nance

Typically, we think of starting a new job or business once we graduate high school or college.  However,  a student at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina prepares to open a new pizza restaurant in nearby Murrells Inlet.  And, his anticipated graduation date isn’t until 2026.

According to WBTW, Coastal Carolina student Tony Nakis already co-owns Mulberry Street New York Pizzeria.  And, he grew up around the business working alongside his father.  But, this is the first time the student will have a restaurant of his own.

Of course, the menu promises all the expected favorite items including pizzas and pasta.  And, he plans the spot to offer options for delivery and drive through as well as dine-in.  Also, doing some digging on Facebook post comments I see that future customers heartily welcome this young man’s dream.

Having a son attending Coastal Carolina University, I know that there are quite a few students and families relocating to the beach from the northeast.  And, I always hear them say how they miss true New York pizza.  So, the comments on the post about the Coastal student opening his own New York pizzeria have been met with positivity.  Many ask what type of water he plans to use.  Apparently, that matters a great deal.  And, he responded indicating a “springwell CF system which brings the water down to a virtual 0 PH.”  So, sounds like he’s thought of everything.

And, comments point out Tony plans to post a menu soon and open next week.  Best of luck to this young man on making his dream a reality.  And, I will definitely check it out when I visit the beach again!  And, check here for more on the story.

    Listen, I experienced Benny Ferrovia’s for the first time a few months ago and it is truly cheese-loving goodness! It was after a long night out and this late-night pizza spot is serving pizza so big one slice fills you up like a personal pan. The slices are huge, they’re fresh, and beyond tasty! Enjoy cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage, or garlic mushroom slice. Doesn’t that sound like something good to enjoy after a long, fun night out? I sure did!

    Well, now we’re off to Bird Pizzeria. This is one place I have wanted to try since before moving to Charlotte. I went to try it out twice and was unable to enjoy it because the line was so long. Now when a place is always that good, it makes you want to enjoy it even more. Because now I know that everyone else also loves it as well. At Bird Pizzeria, you can enjoy toppings such as hot honey, pepperoni, sausage, kale, arugula, and more!
