This was our first stop in town for lunch, and it was exactly the kind of fuel you hope for when kicking off a weekend. Four of us grabbed spots at the bar, ordered Aperol Spritzes, and immediately settled in. We shared the salad and the veggie pizza, and on our waitress's advice added pepperoni--and wow, was that the right move. This pizza is the real deal: incredible color, a perfectly crisp, crunchy crust, and layers of flavor that genuinely blew us away. I make pizza at home (yes, with an Ooni), and this is the kind of pie that makes you pause mid‑bite and say, "Okay... they know what they're doing." Not floppy, not overdone--just expertly made and insanely satisfying. The atmosphere sealed the deal. Sitting at the bar felt fun and communal, with friendly locals, fellow visitors, and staff all contributing to the vibe. It was welcoming, lively, and exactly the energy you want when you first roll into town. Phenomenal pizza, great drinks, and a spot that understands hospitality. We'd come back for the pizza alone--but everything else made it even better. read more

This venue is beautiful! I loved the lights and the olive tree in the midst of the dining area. Service was a bit slow, but they were quite busy. As well as the bar was full. Apparently we were very unlucky when it came to bar seating this trip We ordered the burrata to start. It was fresh and absolutely delicious. But our Hot Pig pizza seemed to miss the mark. The sauce that was drizzled on top didn't seem to add anything to the dish. It just kind of fell flat after such a delicious start. We finished off with a bit of gelato which was also super yummy! And the coffee was wonderful but it was served so hot that we had to wait a while before even being able to sip it. Overall it was a good dinner, we just wished we had gone with a different pizza read more

Really great food, interesting drinks and a rooftop bar! Black Mountain a great place to visit and this spot should be on your list!Shazam!

Such a quaint, cozy restaurant in the beautiful town of Highlands, NC. We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday in December 2025. We had the bread plate with artisanal bread & olive oil, and the meatballs for starters. Delicious!! I had a salad and the hubbs had an Italian sandwich. So good!! The service was attentive without hovering. The decor was beautiful and vibe was chill. We will definitely be back! read more

After being on a waitlist and waiting 20 minutes and then watching a couple walk in without being on the waitlist (heard the convo and they were just walking in) that put a bad taste in my mouth to begin with, but boy am I glad I didn't leave mad. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting -- the kind of place that feels both relaxed and elevated at the same time. We ordered two pizzas and a salad, and every bite was absolutely phenomenal. The crust on the pizzas was perfection -- light, crisp, with just the right touch of char from the wood-fired oven. Each pizza had a flavor profile that was well-balanced, fresh, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. You can really taste the love and attention to detail in every slice. The salad was no afterthought either -- fresh, vibrant, and beautifully dressed. It was the perfect complement to the pizzas and a reminder that Four65 puts care into every part of the menu. The staff was friendly and attentive, and service was smooth without being rushed. Whether you're a pizza purist or love something a little more creative, this spot is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back -- and can't wait to try the Lemoncello Mule! read more

Absolutely wonderful! We are here 2 years ago & had a delicious pizza but on this visit my husband & I shared as the portions are large. We love their salads, we had the Greek salad, a prosciutto sub & soup. All were fantastic, especially the soup. We followed with an amazing dessert strawberry shortcake. Wish I could remember our waitress as she was amazing. Very helpful in our choices & she makes the ginger beer, which I had the limoncello ginger beer cocktail which I highly recommend. We sat on the comfortable patio. A perfect lunch. read more

Great wood fired pizza with fresh ingredients. The expresso martinis are some of the best we've had and we drink them everywhere!!! The staff were also so friendly! We will be back for all of it! read more

Located in downtown Highlands,NC, this bistro has the best woodfire pizza! We were out that way looking at waterfalls when we stumbled on this adorable town. This place is very nice inside. Honestly, I was a little worried there might be a dress code from the way it looked when we walked in. Glad I was wrong because not only was the pizza chef's kiss quality, but our server, Will, was amazing! Checked in often and made sure drinks were filled even when he was incredibly busy. We felt super comfortable as the place was incredibly relaxed. read more

This used to be our favorite pizza spot today we had lunch there and the pizza was off from the dough to the sauce. We can't figure out what's happened and what they've changed read more

I was so happy to discover Four65 in my search for restaurants in Highlands. My family enjoyed several meals during our recent trip to Highlands. Four65 has a hip vibe, friendly staff and the best Neapolitan style pizza making it a great lunch or dinner spot when visiting. We enjoyed the Margherita pizza, the pepperoni pizza and the fig and artichoke pizza. My son had the mussel starter one night but was not crazy about the sauce drizzled over the top. Next time we would ask for no sauce on top. I will note, we observed couples, families and groups of friends dining while there as it works beautifully for all types of parties. We look forward to returning during future trips. read more

This restaurant is usually consistently good but a recent visit was very disappointing. We deviated from our usual choice of pizza and selected the antipasto plate and the spinach artichoke dip. Both were mediocre and that's generous. Left more than half of each dish. The spinach artichoke dip was easily the worst ever consisting of mostly melted cheese, the antipasto unremarkable, and the beer wasn't even cold. 3 stars is generous, but the service was great and the ambiance is always pleasant. read more

Pleasant atmosphere and excellent service. I cannot recommend the pizza. It was a big surprise as everything was focussed on the pizza offer (they laud how thin the crust is, that they have wood fired ovens, etc.) The margarita pizza was a huge disappointment. The crust was good, the sauce was okay, they did offer excellent fresh basil, but the cheese was a horrible dusting of dry mozzarella. Over all the pizza was very poor. A pizza margarita needs fresh mozzarella cheese. If I were at a cheap place I could excuse it, but it was not cheap. read more

Nice outdoor patio. We enjoyed the Proscuito Pizza with arugula and honey drizzle. Pizza crust was just right, stone fired, not too thick or thin. Greek salad was refreshing with non-traditional additions of watermelon beet, mushroom, and red cherry peppers. Service was good but not great, had to ask for pepper, Parmesan, and lemon wedges for our waters which most nicer places like this automatically offer. read more

Great place for dinner with kiddos, always a go to for us when in highlands; grilled Caesar salad a must, pizza always good as well.

Overall: A solid upscale pizza option for the area. The good: Fast, friendly and attentive service, even though we were seated outside. It was quite crowded and was an hour wait to eat inside, but luckily no wait for outside. Plenty of pizza options to choose from. The dough was chewy and the crust was charred and flaky, which is just what you want. The not-so-good: The pizza was good, but not great, and the price didn't reflect that expectation. Needed a little more sauce and toppings. Outside didn't have enough heat lamps, but luckily we had blankets thanks to our baby. Food/drink: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8.5/10 Service: 9/10 read more

This place is beautifully placed in this small town with a great homey and local feel inside. We had to wait since we came at dinner time and the area was busy for this time of year. It didn't bother us because we got a chance to walk around the town before our table was ready. I had a strawberry lemonade that was really delicious and I had to have a second. The pizzas are amazing and freshly made. I had their white pizza which amazing and we got to enjoy the inside and people watch, one of our favorite things to do. Service was great, kept our drinks filled and our stomachs happy. read more

Last year, a stranger recommended this place to me. I kept my promise and came! It did not disappoint! Dress code: smart casual My husband and I split everything. We ordered the Marinara pizza, it has no cheese, with basil and garlic. We decided to add mushrooms to it. It was very good. The tomatoes are the star of this pizza, the San marzano tomato sauce 10/10. The mushrooms lended an earthy taste that paired perfectly with the charred bits of the pizza. The side salad was great! Though since we were splitting everything I think next time we will order the "large" salad and save our selves $4 for the price difference. The ovened salad was great, while still maintaining the crisp and not wilted. The "over the top" for my husband was the addition of hot oil on the pizza he asked for a little side so he could drizzle on the pizza. Service was easy, we put our name for the wait list (30m) and was texted when our table was ready, and our waitress was kind. read more

Wonderful late lunch on the patio at Four65! We started with cocktails and the Artichoke dip. I loved my Mountain Margarita (with muddled blackberries). My husband didn't love his Kentucky Fig... the bourbon flavor was lacking. The Artichoke dip was FABULOUS and you must have it! My son wanted a more traditional pizza so our server suggested a Margherita with extra cheese and he gobbled it up! We shared the Burata Strawberry salad and it was delicious. Service was kind and knowledgeable but a bit slow. Regardless it was a wonderful meal and we'll be back for sure! read more

Stopped in for lunch with a girlfriend before heading to an aerial park for some ziplining! The restaurant was nice to accommodate our desire to sit inside after first being introduced to an unideal two-top table outside. Al fresco seating is available but dining inside offers a bright and welcoming ambiance. I enjoyed a glass of the rose wine and we started with the artichoke dip, which I found to be a little too watery and the breadsticks lacked flavor. My friend had and LOVED the Cherrywood Farm Greek Salad. I ordered a margherita pizza which was delicious! The only aspect of it that I didn't love was that it was a little burnt on the bottom. I realize that is common of woodfired pizza so it's of no consequence. Four65 offers decent food at fair prices, so it's worth stopping by if you're in the area and in the mood for some pizza! read more

On our last day in the area, we decided to go a little upscale. We arrived at 6:45 and waited about 30 minutes for a table. But oh, it was worth it!!! We sat outside on the patio in an area that resembles an Italian cafe. Although the service staff was great, it seems as if they were understaffed, with multiple staff members serving our table and a long wait to receive our drinks. In terms of food and drink, it doesn't get much better. I ordered the mountain marg which had a nice berry note. The antipasto had a solid variety of munchies, but the bread options seemed a bit stale. The Hot Pig was so worth branching out from our normal order. The jalapeños added so much solid flavor and heat that cut through the cheese. I know we will be back the next time in town. read more

Went for the first time today, July 4th. Service was good and food was brought out fast. The small Caesar with two meatballs on the side was plenty for one person. Server said large salad serves 3-4. Husband and I could have shared the small salad. I had the Italian Wood Fired sandwich with soup. The root vegetable soup was wonderful and included a meatball. Brought half of the sandwich home. read more

Open to the public I called to check ( I say this because on google search it was confusing. It said members and hotel guest only. Not sure what that was about, having never been to Highlands before) Fun atmosphere! We were sat right away however we did eat early dinner at 5:15 pm. I got the wine flight brought out on a nice wooden holder. The pizzas are definitely big enough for two people. We ordered two so we would have leftovers for lunch the next day. The Margarita and the Meat lovers and added the peppadew peppers to half. They were so good on the pizza!! A sweet slight heat flavor. I asked for extra marinara sauce to dip the crust in. Yum! The crust was thin and think on the edges. So yummy! We will definitely be back read more

I've been here a few times and it's been good. Unfortunately tonight I placed a to-go order and waited for 30 minutes after it was ready. I understand that it was a busy night but it was constant miscommunication between the staff, and seemed very disorganized. Our food ended up having been ready, at the bottom of the pile of to-go orders the entire time. Got home and food was cold, as it was in the bottom of the pile. Good food, just a hectic and chaotic experience. read more

This place was awesome! Atmosphere was casual and friendly; food and service were outstanding. Sat at the bar and was very well taken care of by Jason, the bartender.

We look forward to going back next time we are in town! read more

We got here at 5:30p and had no trouble getting a table on a Saturday night. But it started getting busy shortly after. We had the Farm House Greek Salad-small and split it between the two of us. Plenty to share. The peppadews made the salad extra special. We ordered the margarita pizza and added pepperoni. We wouldn't do that again. The slices were large and made the pizza greasy. Keep it as it comes for the best experience. Service was fast and friendly. We Loved the vibe here. And the bottles of water left on your table to pour as needed was a nice touch. read more

I do it to myself every time I come here...over order! I like so many things on the menu, and I never wanna leave without having pizza. The decor inside and outside is super cute and in the summertime the patio seating is excellent. Not pictured, but the anti-pasta for two is enough for four as an appetizer and it has a ton of yummy. It's on it! read more
