fantastic experience. on my first visit to charleston, my best friend took me to all her favorite local places, and i loved my lunch at d'allesandro's. we went on a saturday afternoon, and i had the lunch special of a 10-inch specialty pizza (chicken, pesto and red peppers - yum!), a salad and a drink. the bill was less than $10 - i couldn't believe what a great value it was. this is exactly the kind of place i like to go when i travel, but i definitely needed a local to point me in the right direction to find it.
