When you think of Hilton Head Island traditions, certain experiences come to mind: pristine beaches, championship golf, and for generations of families, a visit to Giuseppi’s Pizza at The Shops at Sea Pines Center.

For more than 45 years, this family-owned pizzeria has been serving up more than just exceptional food – they’ve been creating memories that span generations.

Where It All Began

Giuseppi’s Pizza holds a special place in Hilton Head history as the location where the very first pizza on the island was served. Since opening their doors, they’ve baked more than 800,000 pizzas, each one crafted with the same dedication to quality and consistency that has made them the number one pizzeria on Hilton Head Island for over four decades.

What started as a simple pizza restaurant has evolved into a beloved island institution, where families who visited as children now return with their own kids and grandchildren in tow. “We are delighted that many of our original customers now bring their children and grandchildren back to the restaurant,” says the Giuseppi’s team. This multi-generational loyalty speaks volumes about the quality and experience that keeps people coming back year after year.

A Family Tradition of Excellence

At its heart, Giuseppi’s is a family-owned and operated pizzeria that treats every customer like part of the family. Their approach is simple yet powerful: consistently provide quality food, fast and exceptional customer service, and always greet guests with smiling faces.

The menu reflects this commitment to quality with homemade dough prepared fresh daily, a wide selection of pizzas with generous toppings, and options for every dietary need including gluten-free choices. Beyond their famous pizzas, Giuseppi’s offers an extensive menu featuring calzones, subs, sandwiches, wraps, pasta dishes, fresh salads, and a selection of wine and beer.

More Than Just Great Pizza

What sets Giuseppi’s apart isn’t just the food – it’s the complete experience. The restaurant offers multiple dining options to suit any preference:

• Dine-In Service: Enjoy your meal in their casual dining room or on the cozy covered patio, perfect for families and groups looking to relax after a day at the beach or on the golf course.
• Take-Out: For those staying in Sea Pines or nearby, take-out service makes it easy to enjoy Giuseppi’s quality in the comfort of your vacation rental.
• Delivery: Giuseppi’s delivers nightly throughout Sea Pines Plantation and to most Forest Beach Villas, bringing their delicious offerings right to your door.

The restaurant features a sports bar atmosphere that’s casual and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for families, couples, and groups of friends. While they don’t accept reservations, the team works hard to accommodate guests as quickly as possible, even during their busiest times.

Community Champions

Giuseppi’s commitment to the community extends beyond serving great food. They proudly sponsor Hilton Head Heroes, providing pizza and drinks to recipients and their families – a gesture that reflects their deep roots in the local community and their dedication to giving back.
