We have a confession to make.
When we recently talked about Italian food in Asheville and across WNC, we accidentally left out a big highlight — and we’re here to correct that in a bigger way.
The Best Pizza & Brewery Experience in Asheville for 2025 — Meet White Labs
White Labs Brewing Co. – Kitchen & Taproom (or as we lovingly call it, White Labs Pizza & Brewing) is officially earning our vote for Best Pizza & Brewery Experience in Asheville for 2025.
We stopped by recently and… wow. From the beer to the food to the hospitality, everything here hit on all levels.
📍 A Perfect Location (Especially if You Avoid Downtown Chaos)
White Labs sits just off the beaten path on Charlotte Street, making it a dream stop for folks who don’t love navigating downtown parking or crowds. That said, it’s still just a hop, skip, and a jump from Asheville’s South Slope Brewery District, making it a perfect addition to any beer tour around town.
🍺 A Brewery Built on Science, Craft & Community
White Labs isn’t just another brewery — it’s a globally respected yeast and fermentation company that’s been shaping the beer world for decades. Founded by Chris White, White Labs Brewing Co. was created as a way to showcase how yeast impacts flavor, aroma, and style — and Asheville is lucky to be one of their flagship locations.
The taproom features:
- A rotating lineup of house-brewed beers
- Multiple styles brewed with different yeast strains
- Guest taps supporting other local and regional breweries
This is a place where beer lovers, casual drinkers, and industry folks all feel right at home.
🍕 Now Let’s Talk About the Food (Because… WOW)
Pizza and beer have always been a perfect match — but White Labs takes that pairing to a whole new level of craftsmanship.
We kicked things off with the Autumn Salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. Then came the marinated olives — dangerously good. After that, we dove headfirst into the Kimchi Fries, topped with brisket and all kinds of goodness… absolutely next level.
Then it was pizza time — and yes, we went all in.
- 🍕 Margherita – classic, clean, and perfectly executed
- 🍕 Pepperoni – rich, crispy, and crave‑worthy
- 🍕 Bianca – creamy, savory, and unforgettable
Every pizza was a standout — thoughtful ingredients, perfect crust, and true craft in every bite.
🙌 Hospitality, Music & Good Vibes
The staff? Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The kind of service that makes you want to stay for “just one more.”
White Labs also hosts live music most Wednesdays, adding to the laid‑back, community‑focused vibe that keeps people coming back.
And fun fact — they also have a location in San Diego, CA, so if you’re ever out west, be sure to stop by and tell them Asheville sent you. 😉
⭐ What People Are Saying
White Labs consistently earns rave reviews from locals and visitors alike:
- Guests praise the unique beer lineup and how fun it is to explore different yeast-driven styles.
- Many highlight the pizza as some of the best in Asheville, noting the balance of flavor, crust, and quality ingredients.
