    Stopped by for a slice
    Dee S.

    Didn't ask for jalapeño- asked for a bbq chicken - I also got to go bc I'm in the truck - considering the mess this might make - we shall see I'll keep everything updated * After opening the box - Onions / chicken and bbq is all I've ever had on my BBQ chickens - not sure what type of slice is was -

    Stopped to get gas at the Shell and noticed the restaurant so decided to see what they had so I could get some dinner to go. I decided on the club wrap with chips. I was thinking I'd get a bag of chips, but nope these chips were made fresh and must have been fried when I ordered them because they came out piping hot and oh so crispy. Absolutely delish. The wrap was amazing too. Staff was very friendly and place very clean.

    Great pizza at a reasonable price. I had the bake spaghetti here before as well and it was pretty good. They also have a good lunch menu and the staff is nice. It's attached to the shell gas station but inside they have plenty of seating.

    I ordered a personal pan mushroom pizza and a small Greek salad delivered. The feta salad dressing was perfect and the amount of olives, tomatoes and banana peppers was on point! So delicious! The pizza was like an old world cracker crust.. not hard, not soft, just right.. reminded me of the pizzas I used to get in the 70's as a little girl. Very good and perfectly flavored! And the personal pan is big enough that I have left overs!

    Pizza box comes sealed. First time I've seen a small biz do this

    We're in Asheville for the week and met up with some of my husband's family and get some much needed R & R. It was our first night in Asheville and we were hungry after a long day of driving. We searched for pizza as it's a family favorite and the search and ratings led us to Black Bear Pizza (BBP). - Noms - We over ordered for 5 adults and 2 kids, but better to have too much than not enough, especially when it comes to food haha... We ordered the following: *Large Tossed Salad (cheddar jack on the side) with Blue Cheese & Balsamic vinaigrette - this was a nice and hearty salad (without fillers). I can't stand it when restaurants fill up house salads with iceberg lettuce. Nothing wrong with iceberg lettuce, but they belong as toppings on other things. If you're paying a pretty coin for salad, I feel like it needs to be lush and green and that is exactly what this salad was. A beautiful mix of mixed greens, romaine lettuce, chunks of bright red, ripe tomatoes and red onions. The dressings were great too! *Baked Ziti with meat sauce, comes with garlic bread - hot and fresh with lots of cheese *Spaghetti with meat sauce, comes with garlic bread - kids enjoyed it. I stole a bite and I would have eaten some more had they not scoffed it down. Great size for 2 kids (and my kids can eat!) *24 chicken wings (Buffalo; Sweet Chili; Garlic Parm & Blackened with honey). They split the wings in increments of 6 wings for sauces. My fave was the Sweet Chili, but each flavor was great. Even the Blackened one with honey, recommended by the nice man who took my order. He warned me that they looked scary and truth be told, they do look a bit frightening (see pics), but they actually weren't bad at all. They wouldn't be my first choice, but it's always fun to try something new. You never know what can become your next best meal! The chicken wings were a great size and were cooked perfectly. Skin was crispy and the meat juicy. *Black Bear Special pizza XL sans black olives - I love this kind of pizza, doughy crust with fresh toppings. I would have probably left it in the oven for probably another minute as the crust was a bit on the light side, but overall, great pizza. It was great cold for breakfast and heated up for lunch days later. The nice man hooked us up with sauces! They were generous and gave us more than enough and the sauces came bagged in its own bag. All the food was packed well in paper bags, stapled and in another plastic bag. This worked out well because it was also pouring rain at the time of delivery, so it kept all our food nice and dry. - TLC - The man who took my order was super nice and funny! Their phones must be ringing off the hook with deliveries taking 45 mins on a Friday night, but I didn't feel rushed at all. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure to take down every detail like utensils, sauces, etc. The delivery guy was really nice too! - Things to Note - *there is a delivery fee of $5 *it took about 45 minutes for delivery (this was expected as they stated this at the time of placing the order) *at the time of this writing (July 2021), they offer a military discount. I always ask, but never expected and always appreciated! Thank you, BBP! *We happened to stop at the Shell/Citistop on Sweeten Creek Road for gas a couple of days later, and BBP is attached to it! Always check out locally owned eateries attached to gas stations. You never know what goodness you might find! We would definitely order from BBP again if we were staying in AVL longer, but we'll definitely be back when we come back to AVL. Stay safe, Friends!

    When you pay an extra few dollars for a pepperoni pizza, you'd expect more than 6 or 7 pepperoni for the whole pie. Got a personal pizza and 12 wings and it was $29.00. Not worth the price. Tried to post a pic but it wouldn't work

    Does anyone know if it is still there? I drove by there today and it looked empty.

    I have noted the same thing with Black Bear not appearing to be open for business. They are open but are closed Sunday and Monday. I also have had an occasional problem with their not answering the phone, I think they get backed up.

The Roman squares are made of a thick dough that looks like focaccia but is both lighter and crispier. They come in single 5" by 7" rectangles (spuntino, $8-$10), 5" by 13" pies (mezzo, $15-$19), or 9" x 13" party size portions (tutto, $30-$38). While you can build your own custom pizza, the default options include a Calabrian with pepper jam, a funghi & charred tomato, a sfincione with breadcrumb topping, a patate with potato cream, and a rotating special. A few dips, an arugula salad, cauliflower cacio pepe, and meatballs are also available. Wanting a few slices to commemorate Pi Day, my wife and I shared a Calabrian, a funghi & charred tomato, and a daily special. Ordering was easy, and Terra Nova's "green industrial" vibe (check out that moss wall) made for interesting ambiance. Our pizza was not cheap, but it was very satisfying, and Mission uses high-quality ingredients. The Calabrian offered a good combination of sweet and spicy while the funghi & charred tomato delivered creamy (ricotta) and smoky. The crust was done perfectly: crisp without being overly charred. There are many places in Asheville where you can grab a pizza and a beer, but none can offer you the same experience that Mission does. Unless you're a New York-style pizza purist, you owe it to yourself to give Mission a try.

I like the style of pizza and they have some interesting specialty pizzas. I just didn't love how the pizza we had only had a very small amount of cheese. It was also super messy, the pizza had breadcrumbs on top, which were good, but they went everywhere all over the table. We also tried the meatballs, which were good but nothing special. I am all about being eco friendly but the taste of the wooden fork ruined the taste of the meatball (not a fan of the popsicle stick type flavor when eating).

I am not a big beer drinker however I drank the entire glass. I was a little disappointed in the burger. The burgers were not very smashed and very dry. They did have a special sauce that they put on, but it was less than a teaspoon, could definitely use more sauce to help with the dryness of the burger. They did give you a large amount of french fries that were very tasty and cooked to perfection. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back and perhaps try other items on their menu. Many breweries in the area have a limited kitchens or not at all. If you're looking for a good beer with friendly staff and nice atmosphere this is your place.

I explained the situation and the girl I spoke to was easily able to accommodate my mother. A gentleman then helped take my credit card information so I could cover the bill and even offered to write a card that would be handed to my mother in lieu of the check. The morning of the reservation, I spoke to same woman who made the reservation and she asked me questions about my mom's like and interests so they could make the evening special to her. When my mom arrived for dinner that evening, there were flowers at the table along with a customized menu in her favorite color. The staff also left a card wishing her a happy birthday. She was brought a complimentary glass of champagne and ordered the beef carpaccio to start. For the main course, my mother was between the caramelle or rigatoni. The waiter spoke to the chef and they were able to bring her a small portion of each dish so she could try them both. The entrees were perfectly sized, flavorful, and helped satisfy both of her cravings. She was then brought tiramisu with pistachio ice cream for dessert with the card that was written on my behalf. Throughout the evening, my mom shared that multiple staff members came over to check in, chat, and wish her happy birthday. Overall, my mom loved everything about this restaurant and had a wonderful evening. I am so grateful to all of the staff who went above and beyond to make her evening special.
