The new pizza spot is the latest addition to the BullStreet District. Hughes Development and the city of Columbia are in the midst of a two-decade effort to convert the sprawling 181-acre former State Mental Hospital site into a multi-use district with townhomes, apartments, stores, restaurants, the Columbia Fireflies minor league baseball team, the University of South Carolina’s upcoming new medical school and more.
“Coastal Crust has built a brand that’s rooted in great food and hospitality, and we’re proud to welcome them to the BullStreet District,” Hughes Development CEO Robert Hughes said in a release. “It’s the kind of place that fits naturally here. You can grab a pizza, walk right out onto The Lawn and spend time with family, friends and neighbors. Those everyday moments are what create a strong sense of community, and that’s exactly the vision for BullStreet.”
