“Best pizza I've ever had. I will definitely be back! Love the self pour taps as well!”
– Abby C., Candler, N.C.
“First time here and it met all expectations and more. Second the garlic knots recommendation. Soft, not overly garlicky and not huge so you don't fill up before the perfect pizza arrives. We went with the veggie pizza and added the smoked chicken. The roasted red peppers made the pizza excellent. Thin crust and well cooked. Staff was very helpful and very pleasant.
Clean place, aroma as it should be, garlic in the air, baked bread/pizza smells were all very enticing. We will certainly return sometime when we are visiting Asheville.”
-Chris S., Morganton, N.C.
“Best pizza in Asheville and beyond. Family owned friendly casual hidden gem. Like NY pizza for real.”
-Marilyn S., Fletcher, N.C
“This is by far the best pizza in WNC. The sauce is always fresh and tangy. My family prefers this restaurant to any pizza place around. We always leave happy and full. The staff is also warm and welcoming. Decor is also very nice and they have paintings for sale.”
-Jason D., Fletcher, N.C.
“Not only the best pizza in Asheville, probably the best pizza in all of NC and definitely ranks nationally.
Stop researching pizzerias; you found your spot l!”
-Jeff S., Citrus Heights, C.A.
