A restaurant with pizza, sandwiches, wings, burgers and more has opened its doors in West Columbia.

Big Cheese Pizza, which formerly was located at 1266 Main St., completed a move to a new space and reopened on June 1 at 714-B Old Barnwell Road in West Columbia.

The restaurant is located in the Shoppes at Pine Grove Crossing retail strip. Other businesses located in the center include a liquor store called Junior and the convenience store Yogi Express. The shopping strip is about a mile northeast of the intersection of Old Barnwell and Emanuel Church roads. It’s right across the street from the Pine Grove Sports Complex.

“To all of our valued customers, thank you for your continued support, loyalty, and encouragement throughout this journey. We truly appreciate each and every one of you,” the West Columbia Big Cheese said in a June 1 Facebook post announcing the Old Barnwell Road opening. “We look forward to welcoming you to our new home and serving all your favorites.”

The menu at Big Cheese Pizza includes a host custom and specialty made-to-order pizzas. That includes, among others, the Big Supreme, which comes with pepperoni, beef, Italian sausage, onions, mushrooms and green peppers.

The restaurant also has a Big Cheesy Grill menu that offers fried chicken, burgers, Philly steak subs, shrimp po’ boys, wings, fried fish and much more.
