An enjoyable Italian meal in Waynesville NC. This is a small restaurant but it's nicely designed,…read moreclean, and owned by a good guy. I was there at an odd time so me and Valé had some excellent conversations. He definitely cares about his customers. For the Chicken Parmesan and pasta, I finished the whole thing. No problem. Tasty sauce. The bread was good and many might love it but I prefer traditional Italian bread. This is subjective. For the wine, I usually don't care about what kind of red wine I'm drinking but that was the best red wine I have ever had. It's called Montepulciano-D'Abruzzo. That's a lot of letters I'm not used to typing. I mean, I'm used to the letters but not in that order. Let's just call it Monte. This was a great meal and the vibe was incredibly warm. You're going to feel very welcomed here. I even noticed people coming up to Valé to hug him, thank him, etc. This is true Italian nature. They are going to feed you well and make you feel like family. Definitely recommended.

I really want to give them a better rating than this...but they deserve even worse…read more Let's talk about the last couple experiences I've had here: two mobile orders, one buffet visit. First, the least bad of the three: the buffet. This would actually be somewhat passable in general, if the store wasn't severely understaffed to the point that the buffet spent a good 30 minutes of buffet time while I was there with literally no pizza or breadsticks available whatsoever. Next, let's go to mobile order #1, a few weeks ago. They did this crafted flats thing, that's cool, and the Nashville hot sounds good! However, I'm really not a fan of the giant onions they put on pizzas, so I order mine without it. (Easy fix, right? Just DON'T include this thing.) ...loaded with onions. It's almost like they heard the word 'no' and interpreted it as 'extra.' Mistakes happen, let's give them a pass. Mobile order #2, tonight. First, it's supposed to be ready by 6:06pm. I arrive at 6:07pm...not ready. Ok, happens. I eventually get my food at about 6:25pm. Well, at least they had plenty of time to make it correctly. I ordered their Nashville hot crafted flats again, again with no onions, a chicken bacon ranch for my wife, and a generic pizza for my kid. ...my daughter and wife got the correct pizza. ...I got a second chicken bacon ranch, after waiting 20 minutes past when it was supposed to be ready. Unfortunately, it seems that the team here simply does not care about their customers, and it shows in the (lack of) quality. ...this location is down the street from me. I'll probably drive over to the next town if I'm ordering Pizza Hut again...and at that point I might as well get another brand instead.

Now that I've tried it, I don't understand all the positive buzz. I placed an online order for a meatball sandwich and antipasto salad. The prices are ... stratospheric. $20 for a sandwich and side salad. The online ordering system told me 45+ minutes. For a meatball sandwich??? I killed 20 minutes, then did the 10 minute drive. Despite the place being pretty full for a Wed. evening, the service was very quick and friendly. The location is nice, the interior is quite interesting if a bit dark. And my sandwich was not only already ready, but getting cold. They need to rethink how they set pick-up timing expectations. The sandwich was a real disappointment. The meatballs were very large - even cut in half they made the sandwich hard to eat. And they tasted much more of (good) breadcrumbs than they did of meat. Even just looking at them closely they seemed to be more filler than meat. I've had better from the freezer case at the supermarket. There was very little marinara, and it was exceedingly bland, certainly did not taste homemade. The shaved parmesan was also almost tasteless, lacking the expected saltiness and "bite". The sandwich did fill me up, but for the price I expected to be able to get two meals out of it. The salad looks nice. It came with a side of balsamic dressing that has a nice bite to it but is way too thick, I had to spoon it over the salad. The lettuce was fresh romaine, the green olives and banana peppers were tasty, and the salami rolled around mozz was a nice touch. Easily the best part of meal and boosted the review from 2 stars to 3. I could have hit them on a bad night, but having tried them, I don't understand the glow the locals bestow on them. One of the most disappointing meals I have eaten since moving to Asheville. I don't expect to go back.

Overall, not a bad way to spend National Pizza Day.

We found one of those places with Waynesville Pizza Company. Located down a hill off the beaten path, it is quite non-descript from the road. We figured it was perfect for us. Entering, we could smell the good smells of pizza done right, and the general hum of the place told us that it was a happy place. We went for a large pizza, good toppings on it, and it took about twenty minutes to get together. No need for extra appetizers or anything else... a large pizza was more than enough for the two of us, and we took half of it back to our hotel room for the next day (pizza for breakfast is a glorious thing!) If we get back to this area, Waynesville Pizza Company is definitely on our list to return to for a meal.

We were VERY disappointed with our last meal from Waynesville Pizza. To clarify: The restaurant is…read morestill immaculately clean. The staff are still absolutely wonderful. Our issue was solely with the food. We ordered a "build your own" 14" pizza (sausage and mushroom). The crust was wafer thin and flavorless (we did not order a thin crust pie, it just came out that way). The cheese tasted almost artificial. The sausage was scarce. The sauce was flavorless. To add insult to injury, the cost of this pizza was $24. Maybe it was an off night but the restaurant wasn't very busy at the time we came for dinner. I don't know if they are cutting food costs but whatever the case, I do hope they will get back on track. It will be a while before we go back.

I still haven't tried the one in Sylva (heard good things), and I think I'll pass on the one in Bryson City. As for this joint, the outdoor dining area is supreme. Well, maybe it was just supreme on that day thanks to the weather. I was on my way to poker (it went well again thanks to me designing and applying TNP a year ago), and I wanted to get some good calories under my belt since tourney poker players don't eat much for 7-10 days when WSOPC is in town. I definitely got the calories! The Chicken Parm and pasta portion here is HUGE! The salad is also the best salad of the four Italian restaurants I have tried in the area. For bread, the garlic knots were very high quality, and if you like garlic knots, you will love it. But in the bread category for me, Frankie's wins with ease, simply because it's a large portion of traditional Italian bread with butter. I love butter. In fact, it's one of my favorite things in life. Sometimes when I'm driving and I glance at my rearview mirror, it looks like a stick of butter, especially during sunrise. For Chicken Parm, I have Frankie's and Bizzaro's tied for the lead over Vale and Bocelli's. But all four are good! For pasta, Bocelli's is in last. For some reason, that sauce works well with the Chicken Parm but not with the linguine. I give Bizarro's the nod for best pasta of the four. For service, all four are amazing. For value, Bizarro's. For atmosphere, Frankie's. For outdoor dining, Bocelli's. For quality red wine, Vale by a mile. Best red wine I have ever tasted! For storytelling, Vale! He will feel like a good friend within a 15 minutes. So ... for Bocelli's, solid Chicken Parm, best salad, great garlic knots, didn't love the pasta, and excellent service and outdoor dining. Definitely recommended! I need to try the pizza at all these places next round.
