A growing pizza restaurant chain says it is planning to expand to the Columbia market.

Your Pie, which has locations across the U.S., including several in South Carolina, said in a Tuesday news release that it is eyeing Columbia for expansion. The pizza company was founded in Athens, Georgia in 2008 and currently is headquartered in Atlanta.

Your Pie currently has South Carolina locations in Beaufort, Clemson, Greenville and North Augusta. Nationally it has spots in Florida, Georgia, California and elsewhere. Your Pie’s Beaufort location opened in Sept. 2025, as reported by The Island Packet.

“Your Pie is built on bringing people together, and South Carolina has embraced that mission from day one,” Your Pie CEO Ken Caldwell said in the release. “Our current locations are performing exceptionally well, which tells us this is a state where the brand truly resonates. We’re excited to expand in a market that already believes in us and to partner with franchise owners who want to build on that momentum.”

The company’s Tuesday release didn’t name any specific locations in the Columbia area where Your Pie may open, nor did it reference a specific timeframe. Your Pie has franchising information available on its website.

The menu at Your Pie includes brick oven pizza, sandwiches, gelato, chicken wings, pasta and more. Among the signature pies on the menu is the hot honey pepperoni pizza, which comes with hand-tossed dough, marinara sauce, pepperoni, sweet peppadew peppers, jalapenos, feta cheese and fresh basil and is drizzled with hot honey.
