This is definitely a new hot spot in west AVL, and now I know why. First, their gluten free (and vegan) crust the is BEST that I have ever eaten. It was crunchy on the edges but also had a great crisp texture and was delicious. (It was almost like a pastry crust, and I wonder if that's because the pesto added extra oil)?
My lunch date even wanted to eat my crust & was more excited about it, than his regular pizza crust. Let me tell you... they nailed the recipe for gluten free pizza dough. And compared to the mediocre gluten free crust that I've had at Mellow Mushroom, this was a perfect 10.
Our server was also very attentive and came over numerous times to check on us and ask about the food.
I also love the inside, as they focused on the small details. It took them time to renovate the space, repaint the exterior, and build their parking lot. So I think the prices reflect the level of ambiance. It's certainly not a dive. And I've seen it crowded as early as 4pm on a Friday.
My gluten free pizza for one came to $13. They substitute vegan cheese for the real cheese for free. And then, I paid for the spinach, broccoli, and pesto sauce. It was one of the best pizzas that I've had in years. The only catch was that the pesto wasn't vegan. They use cashews and a fancy hard cheese to make it. So, I may pause to order that again. The second time that I came, I got portobellos instead of broccoli as last topping. Check out both pictures of the pizzas. The quality is quite consistent.
Definitely give this place a chance, especially if you want to try gluten free, vegan pizza.
They also have 2 brand new flat screen TVs at the bar, so I imagine that this would be a great place to watch a game. Bring the kids too, as they went out of their way to have a special kids menu. Plus, they even let the kids build the pizza on their own.
