Welcome to Bellacino’s Pizza & Grinders. Three of the four Bellacino’s in the Upstate are owned and operated by our family.
My wife, Amy manages the Simpsonville restaurant. If you’ve been into that restaurant, you know that she’s that blond-headed whirlwind who is a delight to be around.
My son, Tyler is back in the family business and teamed with his sister Megan Downey to manage our newest Bellacino’s on Beacon Drive (“Restaurant Row”) at Pelham Rd. and I-85 next to California Dreaming.
Managing our downtown Greenville restaurant is Nathan Jerkins who started with us at minimum wage five years ago.
I hop around doing whatever needs done from cleaning tables to maintenance to finances.
We know that success in the restaurant business depends on the quality of the food, the service, the space, and cleanliness. We’re blessed to be Bellacino’s franchises. One taste of the food and you’re hooked.
We try to treat people in a caring way and have a little fun with them. Our spaces are very different. In Simpsonville, we’re in a relatively new shopping center and have a nice corner space with plenty of light.
At 123 South Main Street Downtown you’ve got to see how we blended the charm and craftsmanship of the historic Carpenter Brother’s Drug Store with Bellacino’s signature themes.
On Beacon Drive — known as Restaurant Row — we took over the Stax location which was originally an Applebee’s. We had a ball remodeling it! It may be the best-looking pizza joint in The Upstate.
Keep it clean; do we ever! We’re fanatical in this area because we want to protect our customers. You’ll notice when you come in. In fact, our restaurant in Simpsonville, opened in 2004, is considered by the Health Department to be one of the cleanest in the county.
In summary, we’re committed to providing large servings of delicious food at a good price. Please take time to let us know what you think.
Thank you.
