A new permanent home has been found for Adrian Dinica’s Street Pizza.
When the Greenville Journal last caught up with Dinica, he was set to move his mobile pizza concept into Cartwright Food Hall in Greer. His newest move is a pivot a little closer to home.
Street Pizza will has moved into Vaughn’s Food Hall in downtown Simpsonville in the former Humble Pie space. Talks began a few months ago for the shop owner and have come to fruition.
“We have our grand opening today,” Dinica said on May 31.
Dinica’s pizza is characterized by its similarities to New York-style pizza, and by its dessert pizzas. Street Pizza is situated in Vaughn’s Food Hall at 109 W. Trade St. in Simpsonville.

The Greenville Zoo announced on social media it will get its own beer, the Long Neck Hazy IPA brewed by Peak Drift Brewing Co. in Columbia. Fluor Field will also carry the zoo brew in the near future.
Tasting notes: How does a hazy IPA differ from a regular IPA? Generally speaking, a hazy IPA will have a less bitter flavor than a regular IPA, which is famous for a hop-forward bite. The result is an overall more mellow beer with tropical fruit notes – perfect for summer.
The zoo will soon offer beer and wine year-round.

Finally, a Greenville taphouse made its exit in late May.
The HabiTap, a business formerly located near Woodruff Road, quietly closed after five years in business. No news yet as to why the business closed or what might move in to the space at 1325 Miller Road.
