If you find yourself traveling to or through Columbia, NC, make it a point to drop by The Depot, a delightful pizza takeaway that has swiftly become a local favorite. Nestled conveniently at 412 Scuppernong Dr, The Depot isn't just a stop for food; it’s a pit stop for flavor, warmth, and community spirit.

The first thing that hits you about The Depot is the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked pizza wafting through the air. Their pizza menu is a true celebration of flavors; each slice is crafted with a sweet sauce that sets it apart from your typical offerings. You'll find popular selections like the classic cheese and pepperoni that evoke a sense of nostalgia while tantalizing your taste buds with every bite. As one satisfied patron, B Hernandez, noted, “The sauce was sweet instead of salty like other places, which was so different in a good way!"

But that's not all—The Depot also excels in scrumptious sub sandwiches that are generously stuffed with fresh ingredients. Customers rave about the Italian sub, a fan favorite that promises a medley of flavors in every mouthful. Preston Garver states, “The Italian sub sandwich, which hits in the right way every time.” It's this attention to quality and flavor that makes The Depot a must-try destination.

If you’re in the mood for something lighter, their salads like the Chef Salad and Berry Nutty Bird are equally worthy contenders, offering a fresh and satisfying alternative. And for those with a sweet tooth, don't miss out on their delightful ice cream selections, from kid cones at just a dollar to delectable waffle cones that bring that perfect crunchy finish to your meal.

What really sets The Depot apart, however, is the warm, friendly atmosphere cultivated by its dedicated team. As Jason Patierno highlights, “Everyone was super friendly and welcoming.” This welcoming environment makes every visit feel like coming home, with staff who are willing to go above and beyond for their customers. Notably, they even cater to your four-legged friends with “pup cups” filled with whipped cream or pepperoni, ensuring that no one gets left out when stopping in for a bite.

Whether you're just passing through on your way to the Outer Banks or looking for a satisfying meal in Columbia, The Depot is a hidden gem that you’ll wish to return to. With generous portions, mouthwatering pizza, and a staff that makes you feel like family, it’s safe to say that The Depot has mastered the art of not just feeding its guests, but truly delighting them.

Very delicious! Everything is made fresh and all the food has wonderful flavor! When me and my family went here, they were all talking about how delicious the food was. I got a slice of pizza and it was heaven, the sauce was sweet instead of salty like other places, which was so different in a good way! Another time I got a sub to go and thats when I thought "this is magic with how good it taste."

Amazing food and amazing customer service. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Workers go above and beyond and pay attention to detail. I walked past the window with my dog briefly so he could stretch his (albeit little) legs, and they offered to give him a pup cup of either whipped cream or pepperoni. My friend and I made a point to stop by on our way back home from our trip to have some more of their food. Highly recommend this place!

Hidden gem on the way to/from the Outer Banks on 64 in Columbia! All I can vouch for is the Italian sub sandwich, which hits in the right way every time. Very friendly and welcoming crew are waiting to dish up some good eats.

The Depot was a surprising little find on the way to the outer Banks. The service is very friendly and the subs are generous with a great price point. I got the Italian sub and it was made perfectly to order and as you can see from the pictures they are quite generous with their meat. The owner even followed up with us to make sure we were enjoying our meal and we were satisfied with our food. My wife and I will be definitely stopping back by there the next time we're through that area. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is easy to miss though when using Waze. It will route you to come up behind the building. Just trust that it's correct and drive around the building and you will see the restaurant.

Super yummy pizza & subs! Try all the sauces; the garlic cream cheese and the Stinger sauces are fantastic! I definitely recommend this very affordable dinner for the family on the way back from the beaches.

Place sneaks up on you, but it is worth it. Pizza is great, hot or cold. If in the area well worth the time to stop by.

Cute little eatery in the small dowtown of Columbia, North Carolina. The menu is not that big, but all the items we tasted were really good and fresh, and the pricee were reasonable. One of the major plus points of the shop is that you can place your order by phone!!! That was really helpful! The decor was really innovative. There were parking places for 5-6 cars next to the shop.
