Wanted a good pizza place for dinner and this one kept showing as a highly rated place. If you have to drive here, depending on... the time of day, parking could be challenging but we found a spot pretty fast. The restaurant has a very cool vibe to it, witha full bar, tons of indoor and outdoor seating. You can also see right into the kitchen and watch them prepare your pizza. Myonly complaint, is the space is vary narrow so you are literally sitting on top of other people. When we arrived the place waspretty empty but they sat us right next to another family and we could barely talk. The service was also pretty good, but itwas easy to tell they were understaffed. The manager was literally doing interviews while we were there, so hopefully this getsbetter once we were seated we just expected it might take awhile to get drinks filled or our food, but it was not terrible. Westarted with mozzarella sticks. These were amazing. They were beer battered and deep fried. The texture and taste was prettyamazing. We then had a house salad, which was more than enough for two people to share. It was very fresh as well. To cap itoff, we had their Hawaiian pizza. Honestly have no complaints and two of us killed the entire thing. The crust was justsomething else. Overall would highly recommend, but suggest getting there early, as they were turning people away that did nothave a reservation by five. Also if the weather is good as you want to be able to talk to people, think about sitting outside. Read more
While visiting Myrtle Beach we like to visit local establishments. How did this one hold up? Our party of 10 showed up, and was... told it would be at least an hour for indoor seating or about 20 minutes for outside dining. We chose to sit outside. We put ourname in and received a device letting us know we were ready. We went outside to wait. After noticing all the outside diningtables open we just went ahead and sat down at the tables. We moved 2 of the metal tables to another two literally 2 feet awayto make 1 long table. We were told by a member of the waitstaff that we aren't allowed to move the tables per the manager.Really? Is it that hard to move these little tables back apart? ???? Once our drink orders were placed we then ordered someappetizers. The drinks and appetizers come, but it was a bit slow. I ordered the Mozzarella Caprese, and it was delicious. Freshmozzarella, fresh sliced tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, with drizzle. Very well done. For my entree I went withthe Mediterranean pizza. I inquired about the brick oven and was told it was gas fired. I can't say I've had a Gas fired brickoven pizza before. The entrees took a good while to show at the table. Close to 45 minutes to be exact. Once again this pizzawas wonderful. Crust was thin and a bit floppy due to the weight of the toppings. But was delicious. I'd say if you want somegreat food and don't mind waiting give Hot Tomato a try. I wasn't dissatisfied with the food.

We have been up and down the Grand Strand for more than 30 years and Hot Tomato has become a family favourite. Best Italian in... the area (Benito’s would be a close second). Service is always great and the pizzas are outstanding. Exceptional prices, too.Pictured are meat lovers’ pizza and chicken parm dinner. Read more
Really cute Italian restaurant. Their menu is large with lots of choices for everyone and they also have a huge bar that offers... drinks of all kinds. We had a group of four, and everyone enjoyed their meals. The baked bread and olive oil dipping saucebefore the meal was very good as well. This is a very trendy, modern place with a great atmosphere. Service was excellent aswell. Read more
Fresh, homemade CLEAN food made with love and attention to detail. Our server Christy was very informed about the details of the... menu offerings and gave us quick, thoughtful service. They have an unexpectedly generous menu selection, it was hard to decidewhat to choose. It was impressive how they make so many things in-house: the focaccia bread, the mozzarella, the dressings andbalsamic glaze reduction to name a few! Our group had seven people, we were seated quickly. Lucky us, it was happy hour, so wecould sample several different appetizers and cocktails! The Dirty Myrtle Local beer was a big hit and the mixed drinks wererefreshing. We started off with Stuffed mushrooms, Caprese, Garlic Parmesan chicken wings and mozzarella sticks. The stuffedmushrooms were good, they could have been a bit hotter (temperature wise) and the dining was a bit under seasoned. The Capresewas for sure the shining star in the appetizer department! Thick sliced tomatoes, melt in your mouth homemade mozzarella,drizzled with their balsamic reduction, sprinkled with fresh basil and a few artichoke hearts and kalmata olives. Mozzarellasticks were crispy and tasty. The buffalo wings were incredibly crispy and juicy, but unfortunately lacked any punch in theseasoning. Our entrees: Chicken Piccata with Linguine - so good! I loved that they were generous with the capers and sauce.Spaghetti Carbonara - creamy, bacony goodness - true comfort food. Pizza was crisp, lots of fresh toppings but not heavy. All inall, it was a great meal with great service at a great price point! I would definitely come again, even tomorrow, lol, to try afew things I didn't get to tonight. Read more
The pizza was top notch brick oven pizza. They use really stretchy cheese and the dough is so good. The Buffalo wings were... only ok. (Edit: giving more information on the wings, they are the very big meaty wings. The sauce isn't allowed to really soakinto the wing and it just isn't my desired style of wing. Hopefully that helps) The pasta was really good. The Ziti was verycheesy with a robust meat sauce, and the gnocchi with vodka sauce was fantastic. They have Pepsi products. Read more
