Hey there, Irmo! A fresh spot for pizza lovers has just opened its doors, and it’s a celebration of both delicious food and our rich local history. Ferrara Real N.Y. Pizza and Pasta has set up shop at 6801 St. Andrews Road, right in the bustling Quail Valley Plaza. This plaza already hosts favorites like Subway and is located near the Irmo Seventh Day Adventist Church, making it an ideal spot for a quick, tasty meal.

Ferrara is situated just north of Irmo High School and is conveniently about half a mile away from the popular Harbison Boulevard. It’s in a space that many remember as the former home of Hungry Howie’s, which sadly closed its doors in September 2023. However, this new establishment is all about bringing fresh flavors and a nod to the past back to Irmo.

A Menu to Tantalize Your Taste Buds

So, what can you expect when you step into Ferrara? Their menu is a treasure trove of options featuring a variety of pizzas, calzones, stromboli, and pasta dishes. But that’s not all! For lunch, you can snag a special deal that includes two slices of cheese pizza paired with a soda for only $5.99. Now that’s a tasty bargain!

Ferrara takes pride in using seasonal ingredients, ensuring that each dish is packed with flavor and freshness. These culinary delights are inspired by the deep traditions of Italian cooking, so get ready to savor every bite. Whether you’re in the mood for something classic or unique, there’s likely something to tickle your taste buds here.

Bringing A Slice of History to Irmo

historic train station theme that reflects Irmo’s rich background as a railroad town. This design element is not just about aesthetics; it’s a heartfelt nod to the history of the site, which was once home to a furniture store that had been in the Dula family for over 70 years before it was sadly demolished in 2021.

The development of this site didn’t come without its challenges. The property has narrow dimensions, and the process required some utility relocations. But despite these hurdles, the hope is to transform this location into a focal point of beauty and historical significance in our community.

Visibility and Ambiance

St. Andrews Road is quite a busy place, with around 20,000 cars passing by each day. This heavy traffic means that Ferrara will surely catch the attention of many, making it a prime spot for pizza lovers in Irmo. With the newly established design, we might just see this restaurant become a beloved local fixture.

And if you’re looking for more good news, we’ve also heard that a Domino’s pizza shop is set to open right next week! This new wave of pizza restaurants might inspire even more historically-themed developments throughout Irmo.
