Lake Wylie Pizza & Italian Restaurant posted on its Facebook page that a new spot is coming soon in York. The 1075 Filbert Hwy. space is in the Food Lion-anchored shopping center at the U.S. 321 and S.C. 5 intersection, the former address of R&B Pub House and 321 Crossroads.
Lake Wylie Pizza opened in 1995, just off S.C. 49 on the South Carolina side of Buster Boyd Bridge, at 4074 Charlotte Hwy. It’s close to River Hills and other neighborhoods on the peninsula as well as the Steele Creek area of Charlotte.
The menu has pizza, calzone, stromboli and pasta dishes. Lake Wylie Pizza also serves sub sandwiches, burgers, chicken wings, salads and desserts.
Lake Wylie Pizza & Italian Restaurant announced a second shop will open in York. The Lake Wylie location just west of Buster Boyd Bridge has been open since 1995.

“Yem has hired, trained and mentored literally scores of young people through the years that have blossomed and gone on to have careers in the food and beverage industry,” said chamber President Susan Bromfield.
The Lake Wylie restaurant is a go-to gathering spot for weekend breakfasts and family nights out, she said.
