Pizza, in my opinion, is just one of those foods that everyone has a different idea about. My personal favorite style is NY style, A thin chewy/crunchy crust with big slices and lots of pepporoni. I am also a fan of other styles but I would have to say that that is my favorite. Since moving to Asheville I have been searching for a really good pizza place and If I had to rank them in a top three manner it would go as follows,
3. Standard Pizza Company- Theyre crust is very good and the atmosphere seems to be kind of like a modern artsy type. I liked the topping options and I also really liked the I (Heart) Gluten sticker on the tip jar. The day I went there it was slow but the staff was a little bit standoffish(big surprise for these fucking hipsters in Asheville) I enjoyed the pizza very much though
2./1. Circle in the square/Marcos family Pizzaria- Now the reason I put these two dueling for the top spot is because Marcos is actually my favorite because of the fresh tomato, mozzarella, and basil that they make every pizza with, but that being said the crust is sometimes just too salty, its not always that way but when it is it is! i have heard that their other locations crust is almost always on point, and truth be told I love marcos regardless. Now Circle in the square is what most locals will suggest and there is certainly reason for it. good good NY style pizza, (not really the freshest ingredients but it is still extremely good. I do find it to be a little greasy at times though. even with all that the atmosphere almost doubles its appeal for me, When I see a guy with a backwards jets hat, gold chain and a little bit of hairy chest stickin' out rollin the dough out, I know im in for something good. plus I love hearing them say my name with that new york accent, makes me feel like im visiting my moms side of the family up north and that is a comforting feeling for me. plus they have a deli with boars head meats and thats a plus in my book.
Honorable mention: Diggable pizza- they have a great french bread crust and I would love to explore it more, I ate a specialty jumbalayah pizza there the one time I ate there and while good i dont believe it was the best representation of what they are capable of doing, I would highly suggest visiting it in west asheville if you can brave the hipsters.
