Tuesday is Pizza Day!
Sophie | 26 September 2007
My friends and I recently came up the with idea to try all of the Pizzerias in WNC. We were listening to the Ween album Shinola Vol. 1. The song Someday played and the lyrics “Tuesday is Pizza Day” caught our attention. From that point on, our little adventured unraveled. We created a map on Google Maps of all of the pizza locations we plan to try and we update it each week. Last night was pizza at Blue Mountain Pizza in Weaverville, NC. The boys ordered a Parrot Head pizza. This consisted of bacon, pineapple, and ham. The crust at Blue Mountain is crispy and the sauce is mildly sweet. We find that the difference in sauce varies so much from one pizzeria to the next. This time I stuck with something simple, baked spaghetti. It was really yummy and baked to perfection with extra cheese. Their salads are really tasty with mixed greens, broccoli, cucumbers, and carrots. I am not a big fan of iceberg lettuce, so I really enjoyed the salad. Out of all of the joints, I enjoyed the atmosphere here. Buddy, Carol, and Jamie, a nice sounding folk band, played and entertained during dinner. So overall, I give Blue Mountain Pizza two thumbs up. It is a home-town experience.
Some other great places to try are Asheville Pizza and Brewery Co., Barley’s Taproom, Mellow Mushroom, Frank’s Roman Pizza, and Marco’s Pizza. Another great thing about the pizzerias is the selection of locally brewed beer. The others mentioned above are all great each featuring their own unique sauce. Asheville Pizza and Brewery Co is one that is unique to itself. They are a brew pub and a movie theater. Movie tickets are a cheap $2. The 7pm show ALWAYS sells out, so I suggest picking up tickets ahead of time and getting to the show early to find good seats. Click here for current movie listings and show times. The decor is also very unique with murals, television remotes, movie tiles, and much more. To see what I am talking about, you will have to go and see for yourself! They also have a wonderful lunch buffet Monday-Friday from 11 am until 3 pm.
Next week we are heading out to Black Mountain to experience My Father’s Pizza.
Venture out and enjoy a great slice of pizza!
