My wife and I stopped here yesterday for lunch. It was our first time and let’s just say we will definitely be coming back. Walking in and with maybe only 2 open tables, this place had to be good to be this busy at 2pm on a Sunday. The mozzarella sticks had a great cheese pull and seasoned well. The garlic knots had such a delicious garlic paste, my wife asked for more to take home to dip her pizza in. The Caesar salad was good and you can definitely tell the salad dressing is made in house just like their ranch and blue cheese. My wife ordered the white pizza and I went with one of the lunch specials (2 slices of pepperoni and a drink for $8). As I paid the bill I let them know it was our first time and shook hands with Amanda. She was our waitress and so friendly. We look forward to coming back again. My wife works in Greer so I guarantee she will tell her coworkers about this place and some of them will make their way in. Keep up the great work!

Top-Tier Pizza & Family Vibes! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A fantastic addition to our regular rotation! Everything from the food to the atmosphere was spot on. If you are looking for awesome “up-north” style pizza and Italian food in a wholesome, positive setting, look no further!
The Highlights:
The Food: You have to try the Vodka Blush pie, the giant mozzarella sticks, and the garlic rolls. Everything was delicious. Their lunch specials are great, including window slices served from 11-3 daily. The pizza is top-notch regardless of what you get. Their chicken tenders and wings are fantastic.
The Service: A huge shout out to the owner, Dennis, who treated us like family from the moment we walked in. His server team are so kind and friendly, shout out to Amanda for always being a total rockstar when we visit. The staff really do make a difference here
The Vibe: Very cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Soft yacht rock and 70s pop music is playing and conversation comes easy. It’s like a gathering of friends here.
Summary: Great food and even better hospitality. There are many pizza parlors in the Upstate SC area, Passion for Pizza is among the best. We’ve been here many times, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit! ✨

You will not be disappointed in this place! The owner Dennis is so personable, friendly and kind He pulled up a chair at our table and shared some ‘must try’ menu items along with his passion…and the restaurant name fits well since this is his passion! Karlee was a wonderful waitress and took great care of our group. We loved the wings, mozzarella sticks, garlic knots, pizza, house ranch dressing, and crispy seasoned fries. The owner brought us some of his banana pudding (that is very popular) and it is delicious! I don’t even eat banana pudding and loved it! Give this place a try. You’ll be glad you did. We had a wonderful experience here and will be back

This place is ah-mazing!! The garlic knots are to die for!! They are tender and soft on the inside and crisp but not crunchy on the outside. We each ate 3 of them dunked in that deliciously melty, garlicky fabulousness!! (Not a word but it should be) Next came the French Fries!! Oooffff, how are they THE BEST French fries we’ve ever had??? This is a pizza joint!! How did they make them so perfectly crispy and pillowy soft AT THE SAME TIME????? We finished those off just in time for the star of the show, THE Protein Pie! Thank GOD we ordered a small!! We inhaled each piece with joy in our hearts!! The meats, the cheese, the sauce, the crust… Perfection on a plate!! Just as we thought we were done, there’s Banana Pudding!! Ummmmm, YES PLEASE!! I make a wonderful banana pudding. I may never make it again!! I think I’m out of a job!! That’s okay though, it’ll give me more time to eat at Passion for Pizza!!
We cannot forget to mention our fantastic server, Amanda!! Y’all, she was the only one there and she juggled every table that was seated, the bar, and the phone like a trapeze artist!! Never did we have a glass empty or a plate uncleared! And she took a moment to make everyone feel welcome! She’s a gem!!
10/10 recommend

My wife and I had seen them on an Instagram reel, so we thought we would take the 45 minute drive from our house to give them a try. Upon entering , we were greeted by Amanda, she gave us the warmest welcome. After looking at the menu we settled on the “Grandma Pizza ” and for appetizers the garlic knots and mozzarella sticks. We were blown away by the overall quality and freshness of the food. I was in love with this place after the first bite. We will definitely be back and have already told friends and family about our experience. Thank you again Amanda for treating us like family and sharing your wonderful food!!!

I’m a first-time visitor, and I’m so excited to say That I’ll definitely be back! Everything was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. The garlic Parmesan wings were my absolute favorite – they were hot, crispy, and bursting with flavor, fried to perfection. The Caesar salad was refreshing and crisp,the Caesar dressing was full of flavor, and the mozzarella sticks were perfectly fried. And let’s not forget the pizza – freshly baked with a golden-brown crust, gooey melty cheese, fresh basil leaves, and a tangy, zesty sauce. The service was also great, making it a truly memorable experience. Definitely worth the visit!

Very nice, clean little place some of the best pizza I have had in SC. The Philly is spectacular and I highly recommend it. The fries are also perfectly cooked and seasoned. The service couldn’t have been better and all of the people there were warm and engaging. We will be coming back regularly.

I enjoyed my lunch here! Server Amanda was nice and friendly. The lunch special with two slices of NY style pizza and a drink is a great deal. Relaxed atmosphere with classic rock playing. Food was amazing. Looked so good I took a pic of it. Definitely will come back again!

I got the Garlic Knots and the Protein Pie. The garlic knots were the best I ever had, the marinara that comes with it seems homemade and was delicious as well. I thought the pizza was a little expensive at first then when it came out, I understood the pricing, the large pizza is big. The Italian sausage was flavorful and fresh. The server was friendly and very attentive, even when she was busy another person came to check on me. I will definitely return.
Update: 6/21- Returned today and got their cheese steak. It was also great, imported bun, sharp cheese. One of the best in the area for sure. The fries were crispy and well seasoned. The service was fantastic, my cup never got below 1/3 empty.
For the record I am not affiliated with them at all, I am just that impressed with their food.
