Their pizza is excellent, and they brew the iced-tea strong.  I usually go to the one in <a href=\"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/?tag=surfside-beach\">Surfside Beach<\/a>, but in the past I used to hit the ones in <a href=\"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/?tag=murrells-inlet\">Murrells Inlet<\/a>, or at <i>Market Common<\/i> fairly frequently.  Unfortunely, those later two may feature here at some point as they are now gone.<\/p>\n<p>I never made it to this one, in the <i>Kroger<\/i>-anchored <a href=\"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/?tag=galleria\">Galleria<\/a> plaza in North Myrtle Beach, though I kind of wish I had now, as it appears to have been their <i>Chuck E. Cheese<\/i> concept, except with more to offer adults.  There are some quite nice pictures of the place on <a href=\"https:\/\/ucpgamezone.com\/\">website<\/a>, which is still up.  I quite like <a href=\"https:\/\/divinedininggroup.com\/ucpgamezone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/03\/IMG_9922Corrected.jpg\">this one<\/a>.  You can see the place in the daytime with the branding still up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realty.com\/commercial-listings\/301995956\/959-Lake-Arrowhead-Rd-Galleria-Unit-A-1-Myrtle-Beach-SC-29572\">real estate listing<\/a>.  I find it quite amazing the the whole building is pegged at $11,250.  Perhaps it's a typo.<\/p>\n<p>As far as I can tell, it was <a href=\"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/?tag=covid-19\">COVID-19<\/a> that did them in.  The last post on their blog is from March of 2020, and their last <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ucpgamezone\/\">Facebook<\/a> posts are from April of 2020, where at some point they mention combing operations with the <a href=\"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/wordpress\/?tag=barefoot-landing\">Barefoot Landing<\/a> location.  The real estate listing apparently went up in mid July of 2020.<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE 25 June 2023<\/b>:  There seems to be a consensus that this is a former <i>Showbiz Pizza<\/i> location as well, so I'm adding that to the post title.  I barely ever got up here during the period mentioned, so I don't believe I ever saw it then.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/959+Lake+Arrowhead+Rd,+Myrtle+Beach,+SC+29572-5518.\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/columbiaclosings.com\/pix\/misc\/world_map_icon.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ultimate California Pizza is one of the Grand Strand based Divine Dining Group's many concepts, and it's a good one.
