Elevated pizza and soft serve in River Arts District
All Souls Pizza combines everything we love about Asheville into one place: casual spot, gourmet fare and creative culinary combinations. They also have great outdoor seating when the weather allows.
The menu changes seasonally but there are always several unique wood-fired pizza options. And make sure to save room for their gourmet soft serve. Try the olive oil + sea salt on swirled ice cream.
Though All Souls is a bit pricey compared to other pizza places in Asheville (soft serve is $7!), it’s worth a splurge if you can swing it.
Late-night pizza by the slice in South Slope
Pie.Zaa in South Slope is the destination for the biggest pizza in Asheville. And they are one of the few late-night restaurants.
They have one size and the box barely fits through the door. You can order whole pizzas from Pie.Zaa online or grab an individual slice in person.
Pie.zaa keeps it simple with just four classics and one special on the menu.
There’s not a ton of seating but it’s an easy place to pop in if you aren’t looking to hang out too long.

Formerly Marco’s Pizzeria, the rebranded 828 Family Pizzeria is just that… a family-run pizza place with some great thin-crust New York-style pizza in Asheville. They also have other Italian favorites like a calzone and classic stromboli, as well as a great Greek salad.
Want to change things up? Try the Salad Pizza, which is topped with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and your choice of dressing.

Their pizza is Neapolitan-style and uses their special yeast strains in the dough. You can choose from a variety of pizzas (we love the mushroom!) and sub vegan cheese, vegan sausage and gluten-free crust.
You’ll also find a few salads, appetizers, and sandwiches on the menu.

Hand-tossed pizza, Italian fare and a rooftop patio
If you are looking for a nicer night out in downtown Asheville (but with hand-tossed pizza!), then Strada is your place! It’s an Italian restaurant with low lights and a great menu.
Strada’s menu includes traditional Italian entrees and a variety of pizza. We love the garlic ciabatta bread and their housemade dressings are fantastic.
Their fig & goat cheese pizza made with prosciutto and basil limoncello marinated figs is a customer favorite. Strada also offers gluten-free crust, vegan cheese, and Beyond Meatballs.
If the weather is nice, you can enjoy your meal on their rooftop patio. Reservations are a good idea and you can order online if you prefer takeout.
Casual pizza place in South Asheville with self-service beer taps
Fahrenheit Pizza is a great spot for wood-fired pizza in South Asheville. It’s a casual, family-friendly spot. Just order at the front, grab some plates and they’ll bring it right out to you.
We love the arugula pizza (ricotta, mozzarella, garlic prosciutto, arugula) and you can build your own supreme pizza with 4 different toppings.
You can order online, but dining in is the best because they have self-service beer taps.
