Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co

Best pizza we've had in a LONG time!!! Medium pizza. BBQ sauce. Parmesan crust. Green peppers, red onions, pepperoni, and chicke. Rocket girl lager was uh-mazing. DEFINITELY recommend the chips and cheese as well.

Seems as COVID killed this place years ago. The menu has been cut something terrible. A lot of the great options are no longer a thing. Burgers are completely gone unless you want a veggie burger. So many better options in town now. Used to love this place. They used to even have a great lunch buffet. Used to be one of my favorite places to go, now I try to avoid it. Sucks cause they have been here forever. Seems like they forgot where they came from or something. If something isn't broken why try to fix it? Probably won't be seeing this place for a while.

This is by far one of the most amazing restaurant experiences. Their pizza and nachos are great, and the movie theater aspect tops it off. This place has been open and running for over 20, almost 30 years, and if you're looking to create memories with your children, while also enjoying your adult self, I highly recommend eating here. Btw, they do have a kitchen attached to the theater, so you can watch a movie and have your food during that time, and you just have to walk up to the bar to grab it and you can enjoy your meal while watching the movie! They used to allow birthday parties as well. (I've spent many moments of my childhood here) TRY IT OUT!! You wont regret ❤️

First of all these guys and gals get a five star rating on their food. It's incredible and it's what keeps bringing me back there. Second their service is really bad. Nobody smiles. When I walk in there, they kind of growl at me. And this isn't just one time it's multiple times I've been in there. If their pizza wasn't so good, I'd be giving them a one star rating. They need to get some training in the house on how to greet people when they walk in the door. Smile at them say hi. I barely got acknowledged the last time I was in. I waited 30 minutes for two takeout pizzas. And I had to go up to the front and ask if my pizzas were ready and she immediately brought them out frowning the whole way. Come on guys smile it up.

The staff was not very nice kinda rude and short! The pizza left much to be desired. The dough was kinda gummy and no sauce. Probably the driest pizza! We won’t return for the food maybe the movies.

We always stop by Asheville Brewing & Pizza when we're in town - great pizza, awesome beer, and a fun, relaxed vibe. They’re super dog-friendly, which makes it even better. One of our favorite Asheville beer spots!

Ok pizza. The margarita pizza is not a true margarita. Don’t order. No one greets you. Had to ask to learn you “just sit down and someone will come to your table” after 10 minutes waiting, went to bar and was told we order at the bar. We had to go to the bar consistently to ask for refills to go boxes. I don’t know why they have dine in.

First time here, very cool spot. The thin crust pizza was excellent and pretty quick on getting food. The staff recommended some great beer options. The movie theater in the back was pretty cool to see. If I lived local this would be a regular spot for me! Definitely recommend coming here if you haven't already.

Food was great and the ambiance was definitely everything I was hoping for. We're from out of town but love the crunchy Asheville vibe and this place didn't disappoint. Very late 90's vibe and two theatres and you can eat at your seat! Now that's cool for a small joint. One movie is a freebie. If we were local? I'd totally take my kids for lunch sometimes. Had the spinach "burger" veggie pita and large hand tossed cheese and both were good. Would def return!

I love this place! Free kid's movies with some bomb pizza and beer? Yesss. That Hot Sexy Mother Clucker is on point yall

This order was pretty lackluster. I don't know if something changed with the way they make the quesadillas now or if this was a fluke. But this meal was underwhelming. I love everything else they do. Such a cool place to catch a flick and grab some food!

Gave it another year and another shot. Very disappointed. Best thing was the Tot Cho's! Service? You mean people bringing food to the table? Ha. Table beside of us didn't understand the concept that you don't have a wait staff. They waited for their drinks that never came for about 30 plus minutes. The menu is getting smaller and smaller. I hope they change things up. This was one of my favorite places! Hardly anyone was there and pizza wasn't anything special.

We came here on a Saturday afternoon when my wife had a break from her responsibilities managing an event at the Grove Park Inn. We picked this place based on our love of pizza and proximity to the Grove Park Inn. We both love pizza and I enjoy a good beer. The place also had great reviews. We arrived about 2:30pm and found a parking spot. When you walk up to the building, the front looks like it used to have a ticket counter like a movie theater, at the time we didn't realize it actually used to be a movie theater. After walking inside, we were surprised how full the lot was because the restaurant did not appear very busy. We checked the place out and grabbed a menu. We decided what we wanted and went up to the counter to place our order. The menu is pretty extensive and includes pizza, salads, bowls, burritos, tacos and nachos. We learned a little about their beer and that they also fill growlers. We initially grabbed a table outside but it was too windy so we moved inside. While I was busy taking pictures, I saw a sign for ET playing in Theater 2 for $3.00. I decided to walk around and check it out. The interior décor is very eclectic and reminded us of a McMenamins, which are located in the Pacific Northwest. This was when I realized they do have a movie theater! I peeked through the window and could see that ET was playing. I went back to tell my wife! Our pizzas arrived shortly after and looked amazing. I ordered a 12 inch Meathead which includes: Red Sauce, pepperoni, sausage, ham & bacon. My wife chose a 12 inch Magnum P.I.E. gluten free crust which includes: Red sauce, coconut crust, ham, bacon & pineapple. My wife loved the gluten free coconut crust. We thought both of our pizzas were delicious and we were able to take some leftovers with us. After eating we could see that ET was done because people started walking out. We decided to go in the theater to check it out. There were lots of tables and chairs so you can order your food and drinks and eat it inside while watching the movie. The staff that were cleaning up told us we should check out the theater on the other side which shows new releases. We went and checked out the other side and it was a full blown movie theater as well with all the seats lined up and a snack bar. Overall this was a pretty cool experience and the pizza hit the spot. Cool concept and we wish we had one in Winston-Salem!

Love the vibe, love that you can catch a movie here on the cheap, love the super friendly, helpful and laid-back employees, love the pizza. A real highlight for us was the Lil' Nicky's Detroit Deep Dish , which came to the table sizzling and fragrant. The sauce was fresh, and my oh my, that extraordinary CRUNCH in the cheesy crust was Nirvana, baby! It's also cool that they can accommodate lactose and glucose intolerant customers with tasty offerings, no prob. Oh, and the Tot-Chos - Just. Do. It.

Very unique pizza and brewing AND movie theater. We went to see a movie and for dinner. There is a bar in the back of the theater where you can order your food and drinks including pizza. They give you a buzzer so you can pick up your food when it is ready. The seats give you plenty of room to stretch out. We had seats with a table in front of us for the movie. Service was excellent and we really liked the pizza. The beer was very good as well, they had some unique selections. If we are in the area again we will return

Back again, and still a four-star for me. My true love is the walnut mushroom pesto pizza, but I was here for a slice. Honestly after getting three toppings and paying 6.50 I should've just ordered myself a whole pizza. My slice was honestly quite a letdown. Not a lot of cheese, pretty thin... the basket of fries were nice dipped in ranch. Not crinkle fries and they tasted fresh. Still steep at almost 8 dollars. I appreciate that. They carry nonalcoholic, beer and sodas, but they're a little pricey. Sometimes even more than their local brews. Again, I appreciate it nonetheless. Super kind staff. Love the trivia. Great inclusive atmosphere.

We came by this place on a Saturday night and were craving some pizza after a long hike and day on the Blue Ridge. They had some seating available and all ordering is done at the bar (so it's counter service). We ordered the Magic Dragon and a Margarita pizza to share along with the tot-Chos. The pizza I thought was okay but the Magic Dragon was definitely one that was different and interesting as it had pesto, curried tofu (we opted for this instead of the chicken), tomato, onion, and sweet chili sauce. The tot-Chos were pretty much Tots with queso sauce but the tots were cooked very crispy and was perfect! Overall not a bad place for a good weekend dinner in Asheville. Would not mind coming back but would try another pizza place in Asheville before returning back here.

I had a the sunshine bowl salad and a beer during a work trip. The salad was huge; I took more than half home and ate the rest for dinner! It was quite tasty and had lots of things in it for flavor! The space really isn't my vibe, very hipster and felt grungy although it was clean. I can definitely see people who appreciate the eclectic vibe would appreciate it! The bartender was pleasant, but not talkative.

Surprisingly good pizza! Nice selection of adult beverages as well. You need to plan ahead if you have a larger group to be able to sit together. Overall a great experience

Pizza AND a movie?? YES PLEASE!! Love this place so much, they play current movies on their big screen and older classics on their smaller screen for very good prices. You can order drinks and food and enjoy while you watch a movie. I highly recommend the Magic Dragon pizza and the Moon Pie pizza, both are stellar!!

Great, very authentic pizza place! They have movie theatres showing old movies you can also buy tickets for. We would have done that ahead of time if we had researched it. We enjoyed the hash browns, Margherita Pizza, Lemon Space Dog, and Red Llama.

Fabulous find while visiting Asheville! Very friendly staff. We got a large pizza, half without cheese for me bc im not a fan of daiya cheese. I also got the vegan pepperoni. My partner got the traditional real cheese and pepperoni on his side. The dough was SO GOOD. I didn't miss the cheese bc the bread was so soft and perfect. Hefe beer was perfect with hint of clove and banana. They were playing 90s hip hop music which we also enjoyed as well as the quirky decor. Definitely seems like a great and fun place to hang out on a Friday evening! We'll be back.

Excellent pizza! The sizes of the pizzas are a little small in size if you're ordering for multiple people! Everything was excellent though, really loved all the choices to pick from.

Great place to eat! Has delicious mouth watering pizza in many flavors with special requests. You can get a table and eat there, or you can watch a movie and eat! There is a movie theater with a bar inside and tables in front of your seat so you can eat and watch! The service there is great too. The people are so nice and helpful. And there is even a Zoltar game before you walk into the movie theater. The place smells sooooo good! And it feels so nice in there. Go and visit Asheville Pizza and Brewery as soon as you can!

Came here with a small group for wings, pizza and Yucatán dish and drinks. Service was great, food was good, prices were fair. We will come back for another dinner and movie soon. The artistic tables and murals set this place apart. Lots of parking.

Love this place brewery....delicious Hot, Sexy Mother Clucker pizza and just a little spice in the Fire Escape beer. It was my first place to this particular location as I usually find myself downtown. Cool little stop and love that you can catch movies there as well...such a neat little touch. Oh and the ranch...sooo soo good!

Love this place! Probably the best pizza in town. Great for watching movies, drinking yummy beer as well.

We dropped by for dinner with the kids last week and stayed for a movie too! The service was so friendly and the staff were super informative about the movie, prices, food options and more, as it was our first time. We had pizza, a sunshine bowl, and tacos and everything was super yummy. The food was hot, quick and delicious. The beer and wine selection was great and the popcorn, fresh and buttery. Prices were super reasonable and the venue was great, clean and comfortable for our two young kiddos.

The pizza itself was good but i can get cocnut shavings myself and add them to a pizza for much cheaper. But thats the asheville tax i guess

I used to love the pizza here but this was one of the worst slices of pizzas I've ever had. Very little cheese and just not very good. At least the cheese tater tots was still good

Great ingredients and lots of variety for those with dietary restrictions. However, it was extremely oily... and was hard to digest for some.

Loved this place!! You walk in, place your order and are given a number. It's self serve soft drinks so you really don't have a need for service. With that being said, great beer options and the pizza!!!! I ordered the Magic Dragon and my husband got the Magnum PIE, both were excellent! We were very happy with this visit! Hope to come again during our next visit to Asheville!

Pizza and beer selection was amazing. Look online to see showtimes of the movies. Came here with kids sports team thinking come and go with movies showing in the main dining room for the kids. It's more of a 2 theater movie theater on the edges of the establishment with pizza and beer as concessions but you can stay and not buy movie tickets if you just want pizza

Was recommended this from the hotel front desk and a local. Was so excited to not be disappointed in no way. Ordered and swear we got our pizzas 5min later. The thin crust is the thinnest pizza ever and it was so good! The garlic cheese bread was great. Get extra marinara cause you're gonna wanna eat it by the spoonful. I got the rabbit rabbit lager and it was so good! Can't wait to go back!

Pretty tasty. Didn't understand how to order at first, never given menus. But food hit the spot. The napoleon dynamite sticks were our fave. Husband liked the brew selection. Would come back when we're in town.

For real? Cheese whiz and no meat? What's the point? Heard/read decent reviews...we should have passed. Didn't eat any more. Maybe the pizza would have been better?

I had been told by a buddy I had to come here. So it was packed. But worth the wait! The loaded tots were a huge mountain of yumminess! That's a word right? The pizza by the slice was huge! And tasty! My wife got the popeye burger which is a spinach and cheese "burger". But it really was good. I can't wait to bring the kids back here!

Disappointing. We paid 24$ for basically a cheese pizza with few roasted red peppers. We got the grateful veg vegan pizza (glad they have vegan) but it was supposed to have sun dried tomatoes and had none. I think we paid 1$ to add red peppers and there were so few, and so very few little artichoke pieces. Jimmy's on the River has HUGE pizza for 18, loaded with veggies. Not going here again:( not worth the gluten cramps i have.

Went in with a large group of 9 so a lot of food was ordered among us. I ordered a giant slice of pepperoni pizza, chips with queso and salsa and two beers. My slice wasn't entered into the computer so it didn't come until way later which was fine since I had my chips and queso to eat. I would recommend just ordering a giant slice vs a whole pizza unless you have a large group sharing the pizza because the slice was about the size of 1/3 the pizza. It was MASSIVE. The salsa and queso were pretty standard. The buffalo cauliflower bites were amazing! Great option for vegetarians. They have a nice selection of beers, wouldn't really recommend this place for a large group, there seemed to only be one table big enough to accommodate a large group so there was about a 45 minute wait and the ordering/food running was a bit chaotic. They just had multiple food runners just kind of shouting the names of things which is a tad hard to hear in a bar setting. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area seems to be a very popular place!

My husband said it was the best pizza he's ever had in his life! The pizzas we got were so good! Also got a great berry flight! You need to come!

I would give it a half star more if I could, it's not really a three but it's not a four star for sure. Pros Very good gluten free crust Very large list of topping to choose Friendly staff Very good fluffy regular crust Extensive beer list Cons It's very cold inside, I could have worn my coat the entire time. We waited 5 minutes and there were empty tables everywhere The GF pizza was burned on 1/3 of the bottom The toppings were only in the middle of the GF pizza - the regular pizza seemed more evenly covered They forgot my son-in-laws salad and we had to ask for it. Hard spirits must be ordered as part of a cocktail

Every time we visit Asheville we have to get a pie from APBC on Merrimon. We're always treated like old college roommates and it's the best pizza in Asheville. My wife tells me the beer is top notch - overall a can't miss. COVID means tons of outdoor seating and a different way of ordering, but that's normal for these days. Put on your mask and enjoy!

I always loved ABC, and their level of responsibility during covid caused my love to exponentially increase. The love is sealed forever now. You can expect solid food, beer, and a happy and fun atmosphere at Asheville Pizza! Rabbit Rabbit is cool too.

We ordered pick-up - a large Lawn Boy (Pomodoro sauce, veggie pepperoni, veggie Italian sausage, red onion, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, Daiya vegan cheese) for my husband and I + a medium cheese pizza for the kids. We called before coming in to make sure our order was ready (there was a bit of confusion, but they were able to find our order after a few minutes). It was a very clean and tasty vegan pizza (our first) - the "cheese" was melty and the pepperoni tasted similar to the real thing (though it did not crisp up). The medium cheese pizza was perfectly sized for kids (got 2-3 meals out of it). Super impressed with all the ingredients and crust options. I definitely want to come back to try the Hot, Sexy Mother Clucker pizza and the Magic Dragon.

Had a craving for pizza so we decided to try out APBC which was only a few minutes down the road from our bed and breakfast. Went on a Friday evening and it wasn't too busy at all. There was plenty of outdoor seating available so we grabbed a picnic table outside to enjoy our meal. You have to order on the inside and then your food is brought out to you. We went for a classic pepperoni pizza, their Napoleon sticks and an order of fries. The pizza was as you expected, just a normal pizza with nothing special. The pepperonis were really thick and alot smaller than we were used to and left us wondering whether we should have ordered extra since they were pretty small. The Napoleon sticks were just a glorified cheese pizza, a little disappointing, but still tasty. My favorite were the fries. They were so crispy and delicious and generously dusted with seasoning. The aioli on the side was so creamy and delicious I could have had tubs of it! All in all, a pretty nice casual dinner spot.

We were very pleased with the food and service here! We sat outside and the weather was perfect that night. We got the hot mother clucker pizza and a classic cheese. It was a lot of food for two people but it'll be great leftover! We both had beers and they were equally delicious. Richard was awesome and made the experience better than your typical pizza place.

What a great place! I would love to come post-COVID though. Everything is outdoor right now (except the restrooms). They have heaters at the tables outside and music playing. The beer was good, but I'm guessing the pizza is what people really come here for. We ordered the Shear Delight pizza. I'm usually more of a traditionalist when it comes to pizza, but the sesame seed crust and pesto sauce base were amazing with the toppings on this pizza. We also got the cauliflower bites with the Blow Torch (a hot Buffalo) sauce - not actually healthy, but oh so good!

This place was ok. Their was a gentlemen there who was very rude so it kind of ruined the experience for us. He was blatantly rude. We have our small kids with us, we've been traveling for an hour and they wanted to play. We were outside in the front. And they had dogs everywhere and our 2 toddlers. Who were just playing with their trucks and the guy told us to keep our kids out of the way. Which I get, but everyone outside had been with us for a while and they weren't really in the way. They had 3 dogs who were making a huge commotion and were trying to fight each other but for some reason our kids were "worse" than the dogs. Pizza wasn't worth it. Their arcade is a joke. This is not "kid friendly" like it says when you google it.

Man I love this place. An entire area with one entrance/exit and the ability to let my kids (6, 4 and 1.5) run around to the different arcade games and play areas. I LOVE the pizza here - it reminds me of my childhood birthday parties at the local roller skate rink. So while some think of the food at those places gross, it brings back good memories for this 80s child... and the pizza here is a much better quality than the roller rink. I normally get a large slice and that is plenty filling. Even better is the vegan non-dairy pizza option for my middle. All 5 of us win when we visit Asheville Pizza and Brewing.

Hands down, best gluten free pizza in Asheville. This location has the movie theater attached, where u can eat while watching a variety of movies, check their website for showings, plus they have an arcade, with a large movie screen in another back room, which used to be another theater. Makes a great way to pass the time if there is a wait. Well done on that idea. The food here is always good, pizzas have fresh ingredients, prepared quickly, staff is always friendly and we are always happy.

Yummy food, good beer. Pre-COVID, I loved going to their movie theatre and getting to see a movie for $2 while enjoying some great pizza and locally crafted beer. They also have a great game room for kids- and kids at heart!- to enjoy.

This place is utterly and completely fantastic. So I came here the other evening for dinner along with one other person. This is one of the most unique restaurants I've ever been to and I mean that. It's a pizza restaurant and it's a brewery and it's a place that shows movies. There is outdoor and indoor seating. The place has its own parking lot and the restaurant is separate from the movies so you don't have to watch the movies if you don't want to. We started with the pretzel appetizer. I didn't love it honestly but that has nothing to do with its quality and everything to do with my taste buds. I felt it was just a little too spicy for me but I still ate some of it. For the main course we got pizza. I was not an adventurous foodie and just got a standard pepperoni pie. Well I don't know how they make the pizza but I am here to tell you, all of you foodies, that this was some of the best pizza I ever had. We ate all of it. No that's not true... We left maybe a slice or two but I mean this was a pretty big pie and neither of us are known to eat a whole pie in one sitting but there was something about the pizza and the quality of cheese they made me unable to stop eating. They get an easy five stars just for that. Added to that though is the complete uniqueness of the restaurant with its offbeat and quirky Decour and it's upbeat and hip vibe. Also we saw every kind of person in the world there from hipsters to parents with their babies, I mean it was just a great scene all around in a great place to kick back while eating some unbelievable food in a casual and fun environment. I would describe this place as a must visit if in the Ashville area and would highly recommend it as an amazing five-star restaurant that is impossible not to adore.

Checked this place out in the middle of the day as we were in a rush to get somewhere else. Sat down at the bar and got one of their many stouts - and it was amazing. The stouts are delicious. In all honesty, some of the tastiest stouts I've had. I really enjoyed this place even though I went at an odd time. The bartenders were cool and let us sample some different brews. Wish I had more time while I was in Asheville so I could try some of their other beers. The inside is pretty nice and it's located near a lot of the other breweries in downtown. Check this place out for sure.

My family and I ordered 4 different pizzas: Margareta, pepperoni, Sausage and peppers, and Hawaiian. The service was very fast and the pizza was very nice and hot. Although overall the pizzas were delicious, some of the flavor combinations were a bit odd (Hawaiian pizza with coconut crust). Although I was not a fan, the family overall seemed to like it. The pepperoni pizza was a bit greasy and salty but overall still tasty! Overall 9/10. Definitely recommend

Great place to bring kids AND for the adults to enjoy! Game/arcade room with various screens playing kids movies, a separate movie theatre with special offerings, nice brew bar and pizza restaurant area. We come here often. Tonight I had the "Not Your Grandma's Grilled Cheese" sandwich! DELISH! Grilled nicely with caramelized onions, arugula and crispy bacon. Changed my side to grilled veggies for no extra cost! Also had the Porter (dark and chocolaty!) Fries that the 3-yr old had were great too! We will be back! ~ok .. we return here often as my 4 year-old grandson has a whole room to play in (kids' room - just updated!) and we recently went to see a holiday favorite: "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". I had the grilled cheese again .. and although good, it was not as amazing as that first one I had (see both photos). Different cook, it seems. Makes a difference. Also, I lost my antique estate pearl necklace that night somewhere somehow. I couldn't call APBC, but I sent them an online message. The manager got back to me the next day saying she had searched everywhere but had not found them. I REALLY appreciate her effort in looking and calling me after. Good people working there. Thanks

I can't wait to come back and try different pizzas and wings. The margherita pizza was yum! Not super traditional, but I didn't mind. Wings are my favorite quick food so I had to try some. We had the mango habanero and they were some of the best I've had. What also makes the wings great is the blue cheese. It tasted house mad because it had an odd sweetness but it was somehow really good. The lady taking our order up front (indoor is still closed due to Covid) was nice and very helpful, she saw that our hands were full with a toddler and infant and brought our drinks to the picnic tables for us. I'm not much of a beer drinker so I don't remember what I had but it was refreshing and light, kind of lemony. Can't wait to experience the inside of this place.

A long overdue write-up for a killer pizza joint in Asheville. Two words: Queso Tots. Order them, eat them. Order them again, eat them again. Order them for a third time, so you can have more when you go home. Holy freakin' shnikies, these are absolutely addicting! Creamy, crunchy, salty, just perfect! Prepare for some dense, gargantuan slices of 'za. These were not only fit for a giant, but damn flavorful, too. We made the mistake of ordering multiple slices each, and being out-of-towners, had no idea the slices are as big as your head. Our server must've thought we were stoned out of our minds. Overall, a super hip vibe, with a heavy influence from arcade games, Star Wars films, Nicolas Cage artwork, etc. Basically all the cool things in one's life. And they brew their own beer in house!

We decided to make this our first stop after driving up from Wake Forest. As rain was in forecast, we decided to get a few beers and lunch, while watching a movie. At $3 per ticket, we couldn't resist. Got the taters with queso dip to share we'd never seen this on a menu before. It works, only issue is they served atop paper. Melted hot cheese on paper, not so genius. This microbrewery serves up veggie and non veggie options. Friendly service, reasonable prices and funky decor. Family friendly as well.
