Hmmm. I'm usually Favillas biggest fan. We have been going 20 mins out of our way to get carry out pizzas from them since 2022. Today, 3/5/2025... we believe their recipe has changed. Or they now do their "by the slice" pizza differently than the carryout orders which use to be like their by the slice pizza. Their by the slice pizza is truly NY style, it's still on their counter and their new carry out - not so much. Smaller and thicker crust. Will try one more time and see. If it's the case we will have to find somewhere else. Maybe it was the pizza maker today.... Who knows. Decent but not worth $20 bucks or 25 min drive. read more

Favilla's NY Pizza - Carry Out Favillas - Pizza Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Both the food and the service have absolutely tanked in the last few months, which is such a bummer because this used to be my #1 go-to--pizza that even I, a Jersey-girl pizza snob, really enjoyed. But now there are new owners and new staff and unfortunately it really shows--everything is worse and also more expensive. And that's assuming you can even get your food. I recently placed an online order during business hours, received a confirm that my food would be ready shortly, came in from 45 minutes away to pick it up, and when I got there the place was closed. No sign on the door, no one answering the phone, nothing. (I have since learned I am not the only person this happened to and that day was not the only day it happened.) It took over a day to get in touch with anyone and get a refund--from their web designer, for some reason, because nobody else was responding to calls or messages. They told me they'd "make it right" the next time I came in, and apparently their idea of that was free garlic knots with my $50 order. I wouldn't have known they were garlic knots if they didn't tell me--they were just dry bread. Every single thing about that experience was do disappointing I am 100% done with them now. They've totally destroyed what was once the best pizza in all of WNC. read more

Favilla's NY Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Nice enough people but you can't eat people. Can't really eat the pizza either. Brought it home, ate a couple slices then made myself burgers. If you're nostalgic for the pizza you ate in elementary school this might be the place for you. Crust tasted frozen, sauce tasted canned, cheese was cheap and greasy. Of course it's Asheville, so expectations must be tempered, as it's become the mecca for mediocre food, being raved about by people that have no idea. read more

Pizza is awesome, garlic knots are tasty and I asked Anthony about the Eggplant stuffed pizza, so I could order it for next time and he was nice enough to let me try a piece of it! Thanks Anthony- Welcome to Asheville. I hope you enjoy what our town has to offer. I have been going to Favillas for almost 20 years and me and my family love it! I do miss the sit down restaurant but the food is still amazing read more

Favilla's NY Pizza - Can you see the bottom this is my last time coming here - Pizza Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Seriously disappointed. The steak on our pizza was black. The other veggie pizza did not have the pineapple or banana peppers I asked to be added. Yet I paid for. There was so much flour on the bottom of the pizza I could have made biscuits. read more

1 of 3 decent pizza spots around here. I just wish they had more big slices available. I just wanted a slice of pepperoni. But this was a nice substitute. read more

Great pizza! No frills but lots of options for pizza. Best for take out but you can eat in

Great pizza with friendly staff. The only place I use for pizza. I love the authentic NY crust

Best New York style pizza I've had here in the south. The slices are less filling but the leftovers are great

waited over a hour for 2 pizzas, when the said it would be 30 min. wouldn't even give a discount. Poor customer service and obviously they don't know how to treat their customers right. Definitely never going back read more

Stopped in on my way to Sam's Club because I saw that it wasn't called "Favilla's Pizza" but "Favilla's NEW YORK Pizza". It's a bold statement to put "New York" in your pizzeria's name if it's anywhere outside of the Motherland, so I figured I'd give it a try. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a friendly girl (who was working with a broken foot or something close to it!) as well as a team of kitchen guys who were all smiles. I ordered my go-to for a place like this--regular slice and a grandma slice. However, I was caught off guard by what I thought was a hallucination at first. This place has honest to God, real-deal Jamaican beef patties and they were FIRE. I was told they were delivered fresh from NJ (which is a state renowned for it's bagels, breads, donuts, Italian food, etc) so it made perfect sense why they were so good. Their prices are killer, the slices were solid (I'd give both a 7/10, the regular slice was a little soggy/overloaded with cheese so I'll get it well done next time), the beef patty was off the chain, and the atmosphere was comfortable and not overwhelming. If you dig pizza and you're nearby, do yourself a favor--go to Favilla's NY Pizza. read more

Best pizza I've had in Asheville area, and I've been to plenty. NY style Tower Isles beef patties as well

Our favorite pizza in Asheville! The best NYC style as well (as someone who moved from Asheville from Brooklyn, I think I know pizza). When we had Favilla's at my daughter's birthday party, numerous people asked me where it was from and everyone got seconds. It was so good! We typically call in an order for pick-up, as the inside is small and not the best environment for a date night and kind of small for the kids to run around. Perfect for take-out. The cheesecake and cannoli's are delish! read more

I guess their pizza is ok for the south but it's still bad. Nothing like true NY pizza. Bad sauce, floppy crust, and out of date ingredients. No thanks! read more

It seems like every pizza place in town has the same crust. It's chewy and doughy, kind of "OK, not great". Like the others, Favillas has good pizza, but that crust is a bummer. I can copy this review and paste it under Papa Nick's, DelVecchios, and Asheville Pizza. I recommend going here if it's the closest place, but all of the pizza joints in town are interchangeable. read more

Finally--real New York pizza in North Carolina! As a former New Yorker, I've tried every so-called "NY-style" slice down here, and nothing has even come close--until now. The crust is perfectly thin and crisp with just the right amount of chew, the sauce is bold but balanced, and the cheese pull? Unreal. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and know what they're doing. The atmosphere gives off that classic NY pizzeria vibe, too--fast, friendly, and no-nonsense. This place is the real deal. If you're from up north and miss authentic slices, or just want to taste how pizza should be done, this is your spot. 10/10 recommend. read more

I ordered from here one time before for a friend and he was very happy. Tonight I ordered because my son was begging me for wings! I asked if there was any way that they could give me flats instead of drumsticks because for some reason he just won't eat the drumsticks I don't know why. Did they commit to my request very nicely they were all flats no joke! And I pizza was absolutely perfect. I'm a Yankee so that says a lot. These family folks are the real deal.! read more

I skeptically ordered the small Stromboli which I have to admit the portion was perfectly sized and priced! It was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend! A+++ read more

New York pizza snob giving his evaluation. This place was in New York I would give it an eight out of 10 Which is above solid.. In Asheville however I'll give it 12 out of 10. They know what they're doing here. The cheese, the sauce the bread and that little thing called the crust.. Definitely the only and go to place for pizza in Asheville. Yeah baby, about time. read more

Amazing little gem! I stopped in for an early lunch today. Interacted with half a dozen employees or so. All of them were friendly, incredibly helpful, polite and professional. Eric helped me with my order - his customer service skills are on point! He was upbeat and chipper, created a hospitable and warm atmosphere while prepping my slice. I ordered a cheese slice. The crust was crisp, the toppings buttery and flavorful and it was served piping hot. This could easily be the best slice of pizza I've ever had. Thank you all for the service and fantastic lunch! read more

Disappointed, although the toppings were fresh the crust was soggy. Seemed like it was a rush job, not allowing the crust to fully bake.

I have been searching Asheville high and low for "the best" pizza. Unfortunately, this wasn't it... We ordered delivery from Takeout Central. Receipt attached for convenience. Zero complaints from the takeout service that delivered our meal. They did their job splendidly. Salads: I ordered my salad with no onions, yet it came covered in them. Thankfully I don't have an onion allergy, so I just picked them off. The salad was actually the best part of the meal, in my opinion. Fresh veggies, leafy (not stocky), and plenty of dressing provided to cover the entire salad. My son had a side salad as well; he ate every bite. My husband ordered the Caesar Salad. He said it was a traditional Caesar; not the best he's ever had, but still good. Mozzarella Sticks: I didn't think you could get mozz sticks wrong. I now stand corrected. They were cheesy, but the breading was very soggy. I really want to blame the moisture for this, and assume that they would've been better at the restaurant, however I've ordered mozz sticks from other restaurants that did not arrive soggy. So I'm not sure what went wrong. They were rather unappetizing. Wings: The bbq wings weren't any better than the mozz sticks. Very little meat on the bones, and the meat that was there was very dry. The bbq sauce was also blah. Pizza: My husband says this was the "closest" to a NY style pizza he's had in Asheville as of late, but that it wasn't quite there. The thin crust was crunchy, but chewy. We believe that if we ate it right out of the oven, opposed to the pizza collecting moisture from inside the box, it might not have been chewy. The sauce was rather bland; zero flavor. For an "okay, edible" pizza, it wasn't at all worth the price tag. Chocolate Cannoli: By the time we reached dessert, I was so disappointed that I probably had no room for positive possibilities. I really, really held out hope that I would like the dessert. But alas, I did not. I was really hoping to give this establishment 5 stars, but I feel like 4 stars is quite generous. I'd grade it at 3.5/5 stars. read more

We ordered here twice to try to give it the best chance possible! The first time I had just gotten off work from a long 10 hour shift, called two hours ahead of time and they took the order and said it would be about 35 min wait; not bad I was thinking! It takes me about 25 minutes to get to this place so I hit the road, I get there and they let me know it's gonna be about an hour for wait- time, they're short staffed. Okay a little irritated because you told me 35 minutes and I would have waited longer but no worries I'll wait, I wait a solid hour and they say it's just finishing up, okay great! Another 15 minutes go by, nothing, everyone's just kinda standing around, I'm like ?? So finally I go and ask and they tell me they actually don't have an order by my name, they called my number and let me know that they ran out of the Silcians pizzas.. they never called me to let me know, not to mention they said it was almost done! So not only did it waste my time but I paid online, they said they refunded me and cancelled the order and that it would be instantly I'd receive my money back. I never did! Not once. Week later still haven't, I called and they said it would just take some time. No apology, no urgency, no sympathy, could have been my last 40$, still nothing! How nice! Well I thought hell maybe they're just thattt good they're busy as heck all the time! I'll let it slide, still haven't received my refund but I ordered this week and it was terrible! Little to no flavor, took hour and 45 mins to receive, they were choppy on the time still, and they literally tasted so mid! Like cardboard. It hurt my teeth to eat! ( don't waste your time folks!) not worth the hype or price! read more
