"This Sunset Avenue sports bar is best known for its specialty pizzas and lively atmosphere. The owners said they’d open a pizza place when liquor by the drink passed in Asheboro, laughing and claiming that would happen “when pigs fly” — hence the name. Today, the restaurant is part of the Zoo City Social District. Save room for dessert: Multiple flavors of cheesecakes rotate through the menu, and all are homemade." - Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders Trudy Haywood Saunders is a writer and editor based in North Carolina.

Had a dinner with my co-workers. It’s a Pig themed restaurant and having good vibes. I ordered “The Pig Bianca” pizza which was almost vegetarian pizza if you don’t add chicken toppings. We also ordered Chicken wings and Nachos. Pizza was good and so cheesy. Wings were also good in taste. Overall satisfied with taste of the food. Service was even better.

The pizza here is fantastic! We ordered half pepperoni half other toppings and light tomato sauce. My son said it's the best pizza he's ever ate. It was very good. Just had to wait a long time for it.

I had the “slap yo Mama fish dog” mahi fish, slaw on a hot dog bun and it was delicious! House chips great too! My husband had the Philly cheesesteak and he said it was good too! Sports bar atmosphere, football on tv. Service was great & friendly; food came out a little slow. Only reason gave 4 on atmosphere was bathroom had a weird smell. We would certainly eat here again when visiting the Asheboro, NC area. Good variety of options on the menu and good downtown location.

First time trying flying pig. Based on the average reviews, I expected much better food. The fried pickles were very good. With the fish and chip entree, the fish was just ok; the chips were not seasoned well and pretty flimsy. I would not recommend even trying the nachos. The equivalent of an entire jar of salsa was dumped on top, cancelling out any other topping on the nachos. Store bought salsa at that. I see many good reviews but did not have an experience that would warrant that. Drinks were good enough for it not to be a completely wasted trip.

The food was great and so was our waitress. It was really crowded but they had us seated within 10 minutes.

Very cool sport bar vibe hence the whole flying pig name. Lol. It all makes sense. It's all about football and pigskin. 🏈🏉🏈🏉 Most everything is deep fried so be prepared for that. There are salads available... I didn't see anyone eating them though. 🥰 A good environment to bring kids because it is noisy and kids are noisy. But it's okay. They do have a kid-friendly items on the menu which is very neat and lots of things for kids to look at. Totally a great place to play. I spy... I'm just saying.

Super busy on a Saturday night with a half hour wait that I spent wandering the streets of Asheboro but the hostess was very nice about it. I arrived a few minutes after the text message that my table was ready. Still leaning hard into my keto diet, I went with the chicken wings. They were apparently cooked fresh as they took about 15 minutes to arrive, still very hot from the fryer and swimming in sauce. The "Buffalo" was actually still quite spicy so the small pot of blue cheese dressing was helpful as I demolished the wings. Meaty and cooked properly, my only complaint is the bath of sauce. Friendly service, noisy and fun atmosphere, it was a good evening.

Great good and good environment. Service was solid. Outdoor seating looking at the main street is nice. Reasonable price and the pizza was outstanding. Spinach dip, the pig pizza and a molten lava cake for dessert. Pizza was large with amazing crust, spinach dip was a little small but great flavor.
