Whether you are from South Carolina, moved here from somewhere else, or are just visiting, you’ve likely noticed we take a lot of pride in our Pimento Cheese here. This spread is widely considered to be a Southern thing and even though it wasn’t exactly invented in The Palmetto State, we South Carolinians seem to have perfected the best version of it.
If you want the best Pimento around, then head to Di Prato’s Delicatessen in Columbia. The deli crafts Pimento the likes of which you’ve never tasted.

Stop in for a full lunch, or just a snack on their famous Pimento served with Pita Chips for scooping it up.

Then, get some to take home! It’s a deli, and that means they’ll gladly pack it to go so you can eat it day after day until it’s all gone.

However, if you want to craft your own sandwich, you can tell them what you want and essentially build your own.

The atmosphere is modern and bright and there are always friendly and smiling people behind the counter. The eatery has plenty of seating — so if there is a wait, just know one of the many tables will be clearing out soon enough.
