All Souls Pizza

"It would be difficult to find a more idyllic spot for a pizza, with a minimalist yet charming dining room, a few picnic benches spread out under twinkling lights, and kids and dogs playing in the neighboring garden. It’s good news that the pies are equally as wonderful, made from ingredients sourced from North Carolina purveyors, including foragers who scour the forests nearby for mushrooms and ramps. The dough comes courtesy of local grains, milled and then long fermented into a dough that hits all the marks, sour and just-right chewy." - Eric Barton

"Retro lighting, a long beer and wine selection, and a relaxed, minimalist atmosphere make All Souls the perfect place to come with a group or for a casual dinner date after spending the day floating down the French Broad River. In the spring and summer, you can also take your pie outside to the picnic-style seating in the serene River Arts District. Even if you’re one of those people who regularly toss aside their crust—which we’ll never understand—we bet you’ll end up devouring every edge of this springy sourdough, which gets its tang from heirloom wheat that’s milled into flour on-site. The toppings go the extra mile, too, with fresh artichokes, leeks, and foraged mushrooms. Consider asking them to top your pizza with an egg, and definitely don’t pass up the dark chocolate soft serve." - laura hackett

"All Souls Pizza is popular for its wood-fired pies, locally sourced sandwiches, and local beers. The casual pizzeria is cozy and extends outdoors with a terrace lit with Edison bulbs overhead. You can keep it simple with a tomato and mozzarella pizza or try something new like a pie topped with shrimp." - MATADOR_NETWORK
