Earlier this summer, some coworkers and I went to lunch nearby at Katie's Pizzeria Cafe (aka Katie's Pizza). I had been there for dinner a couple times before and really enjoyed each time, so I wanted to see what it was like for lunch. Also, I heard how the business itself was up for sale, so I wanted to go eat there before ownership changed.
They had a nice lunch special where you could have a salad and a personal pizza for $14. It even includes specialty salad (I got the Caprese Salad) and specialty pizzas (I got the Tre Amici - with Genoa Salami, Italian Sausage, Pancetta and Fontina - which is normally a $21 pizza!)

Service was pretty bad (waitress had to come back to re ask our order and she was quite slow with bringing us our food and our check), but the food was good! Overall, I like Katie's Pizza because it is unique. The pizza combinations on the menu are very creative, and you can tell she uses fresh ingredients. The pizzas are also made with a true Italian style, where entire toppings are laid out on top of the pizza, as opposed to being chopped up and spread around. If you go for dinner, I also would recommend sharing the eggplant appetizer (fried eggplant rolled and stuffed with four Italian cheeses and herbs with marinara sauces for dipping) which won me over.

Note that Katie Lee, the namesake of Katie's Pizzeria, is starting up a new restaurant in Rock Hill called Katie's Pizza and Pasta. It is set to open November 2013 and I can't wait to try it!
