We got to stop by their new location (they took over The Malvern) and everything about the visit was pure perfection. The food is hearty and comforting - they specialize in hoagies + perogies and their menu boasts some additional fun daily specials. If I could give you any recommendation this week it would be to swing by and grab a brisket + cheese - I promise it'll be one of the best things you've eaten this year. Ramp Perogies : Brisket + Cheese

I was eager to try this newish spot from the former co-owner of highly rated Buxton Barbecue, but it didn't turn out so well. Maybe I just didn't know what to order. I guess I'll try it again. Don't know how much time Louie's owner Elliott Moss, who hails from Florence, South Carolina, has spent in Pittsburgh or Cleveland or Poland or Ukraine, where pierogi (yes, that's the plural of pieróg in Polish) are famous. Here, ours with potato and cheese ($11) was totally unlike the classic style, which traditionally features dumplings filled with mashed potatoes and cheese, boiled, then lightly fried and served with onions and butter. What we had was a clump of pale white dough, not fried, with a small layer of potatoes and some kind of cheese on top, and no onions. Our beef brisket and cheese hoagie ($16.49) was messy to eat and looked like the filling was whipped up in a blender. Nothing like the famous hoagies in Phillie or elsewhere in Pennsylvania. Louie's fries ($7.95 for a large serving) were well cooked but oddly topped with pesto and served with a small cup of marinara sauce. I guess that's what a chef calls "creative," but frankly I'd rather have just good fries. There are just four drafts on the drink menu ($5 or $6), plus a selection of cans and bottles. I had the Green Man porter. The booze is well priced, with gin, vodka and bourbon mostly under $10. Again, I love the dive bar atmosphere, much of it left over from the former bar here, The Malvern. There's a silver-painted high tin ceiling, dark blue walls, funky booths and even taxidermy on the walls. Drink prices are very reasonable. But as for the food, I'd rather have a classic burger and fries, rather than a phony pierogi or a hokey hoagie. Maybe next time I should try the smoked wings or the egg plant hoagie. I think this could be a great neighborhood spot in west West Asheville, if the owner would rethink the menu and add some items he know how to cook.

Parking is limited but it is worth a park/walk. We hit Doughboys on a Saturday while a little league tourney was going on across the street.

Inside is a large bar, a few wallside booths and mostly large tables, seat yourself first come/first served. Claim your seats then step up to the bar to order and take your number to your table. Make sure to order your drinks and food together! Plenty of draft beer choices for your thirst; ice water is served in pitchers as well. Now to the pizza. Even with the huge crush, our food was out in about 20 minutes. The pies were hot out of the oven. Excellent crust with good chew and flavor; the meat pie was cooked through (no cold gristly ham or bacon) and delicious. Sauce is spot on and not too weak. Margarita had very fresh mozzarella and basil accompanying the tomatoes. Dry rub wings were large, not overcooked and served quickly, about a dozen were in our order. Food is run to your table. Watching the staff work is always a pleasure when they've got a tight ship. Even a dropped tray of glassware in the bar (oops) didn't slow them down. They are doing it right here and it shows.

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.

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.

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

Del Vecchios came up on Yelp, and we liked the look of everything and the sound of all the reviews. Seemed like our kind of place, so we ventured out. Very convenient off the loop, and kind of an interesting little building with a small parking lot. There are a few outdoor tables, but we decided to eat inside where there was a bit less road noise. Saw lots of people coming in and out for takeout. All orders are placed at the counter, and if you're eating in, they bring it out to you. Perfect. We both went for calzones, and really, neither of us had a single complaint. Both were baked perfectly, came with a generous amount of a DELICIOUS marinara sauce and a bit of shaved parm. I like that no plastic ramekins or cutlery are used for eat in orders, keeps their costs down and it's more environmentally sustainable. Taste was wonderful on both, mine was a meatball and pep combo, nice and hearty. Good ricotta, not too much or too little. We would definitely come back here again.

The panini bread itself was the highlight: it was pressed nicely and was perfectly crispy. There was a good portion of chicken deli meat on the sandwich, but there was really nothing about the sandwich that stood out and it didn't have any real Greek-style taste at all. I didn't really taste any Greek seasoning or any feta cheese. There was an olive tapenade that was overly salty. The sun dried tomato sauce was also not that good. So the sandwich overall was just okay. They serve homemade potato chips on the side. I love salty chips, but I'd have to say these chips were probably the saltiest I've ever had, past the point of being good salty and crossing into salt bomb. I may go back sometime and try their core Italian food, but at this point, they are pretty low on my list of Asheville go-to restaurants.
