Charleston Scene: EVO top Pizzeria in US!

EVO is featured in the current issue of The Charleston Regional Business Journal. “Ricky Hacker and Matt McIntosh, co-owners of EVO in North Charleston, tested the restaurant’s business model and products at the Charleston Farmers Market.” The article reviews stories of business start up at the farmers market and business growth and exposure from the start. Great article – thanks CRBJ for recognizing the importance and work in being dedicated, passionate and local.
“When most locals hear ‘EVO,’ they think pizzas hot from the wood-fired oven. But anyone who’s tried the crisp and creative salads at this North Charleston eatery knows that they’re as memorable as the Neapolitan slices.”
“…EVO’s delicate, bubbly, and perfectly charred pizzas come minimally garnished with only the finest local and seasonal ingredients around.”

“Part of the up-and-coming neighborhood of Park Circle, EVO (Extra Virgin Oven) has made a name for itself among locals and downtowners alike for its wood-fired, Neopolitan-style pizzas. The focus here is on fresh, and often local, ingredients that make for a delicious menu of crisp salads, hot panini, and perfectly prepared pies.”

“….Panini, calzone, and pizzas baked with wood-fired heat are so good they’ll leave you speechless.”

“…Hacker and McIntosh renovated an old law office into a stylish lunch and dinner spot that brings to mind much larger cities’ swank eateries. Even though they may not sell their tasty pie at the market these days, you can rest assured that EVO continues their allegiance to local farmers…”
