The lady volunteer at Dosher thrift store recommended here when I asked her where we could have lunch. We arrived just after 11 and was greeted by a friendly hostess. The atmosphere was pleasant and our waitress was very nice and attentive.. The pizza was one of the best pizza I have had and I have tasted a lot of pizza in my lifetime If ever get back to that area you can know I will eat here!
Highly recommend this cute little place! It’s dog friendly, just sit in the outside area which does have a lot of room. It was so friendly and the food was delicious! We were really happy we stumbled across this place on our quick stop in Southport! We had the shrimp salad and shrimp sub 😋
A Southport institution - Brian and his family welcome and keep you with the kind of charm that's often imitated but never duplicated. Whether it's a delicious sandwich, their unrivaled crab dip, or a mouth-watering pizza, Dry Street never fails to satiate and satisfy. Polish it off with a pint or two from their solid beer selection.
This place will become a regular now when we are in Southport. I had eaten takeout from here before, and it was really good, but dine-in if you can because it was divine. I had the roast beef and cheese and oh my goodness - fresh toasted bread, either they have to make it or get it locally made. Yes, it was that good. The sandwich had just the right balance with the juicy beef, and gooey mozzarella to balance the zing of the dijonnaise and Italian dressing. I will 100% get this sandwich again. But y'all that bread is so good, I was already salivating thinking how good the meatball sub must be. Next time. I should also say, good greens and tomatoes came on the side, and the chips were fresh and crispy. Oh, my hubs got a small pizza with garlic, spinach, and mushrooms - and yes, it was super yummy too. Can't wait to go back. Oh - if you look at the pic, I had already scarfed down half before I remembered to take a pic.
Stopped in for some lunch while out walking town. Kristen was absolutely amazing! And the food was amazing!
This is seriously good pizza. We made pie with sausage and mushrooms but have had many of their other specialty pies. All delish! The thin crust is fantastic and seasoned perfectly. Good use of sauce and toppings. Red and white sauces are equally good. Great place for when you need that well made pizza vibe
Came to Oak Island for a summer vacation and did research on good pizza places with gluten free pizza. After so many reviews we had to give it a go and it was absolutely amazing! If you are GF this is the place to go! Both my 5 year old daughter and I are GF and this was the best GF pizza we’ve had hands down. Look no further - thier normal pizza was great too (according to family )
This pizza is the real deal, if you’re on vacation near Southport don’t order from a chain place stop in and get you a pizza and some drinks. My wife is celiac and her gluten free pizza was awesome too, I’ve had cauliflower crust and all that and Dry Streets is the best.
This place was a pleasant surprise. We had been walking around South Port shopping and taking in the sights when we decided to find something to eat. We had checked out a couple places but our two little ones were in no shape to wait. We took a chance here and luckily they had a table available. Our family loves any kind of pizza, so this was down our alley. The personal pizzas were great for our kids and my wife and I got an appetizer along with two personal pizzas. We were all a fan. The staff was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. No complaints from us other than it being a bit toasty inside, but it beat sitting outside eating.
Wow! We were visiting Southport this past weekend and we adored this little gem. It’s a small location and it was raining so we did have a small wait. They had tents set up with chairs that were dry too. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the tomato bread as an appetizer and it was out of this world. All of our party got personal pan pizzas and they were all delicious. Highly recommend and we will be back!
