Brixx Wood Fired Pizza, Asheville North Carolina

Brixx, Asheville NC.  Good family fun, and beer, and pizza.  Monday is the day to go cause the happyhour is AWESOME!

So we went on a Monday, scroll down to enjoy.

24 beers on tap, tons of locals to choose from, Monday ALL drafts are $1.95, AND, they have a frequent customer card, or whatever the name is, and after a certain number of beers you get free food.  Yeah, FREE appetizers, pizzas, stuff to eat for FREE.  

So naturally, the smartest dudes I know in Asheville (Gabe and Dylan) have figured out that on Monday's, drinking for $1.95 a pop, it pretty much equates to free beer if you consider that you get free apps and pizza and $1.95 beer..... if the bill is say $20 and you've had a free pie and app and 5 beers each, you have essentially paid for the food and drank for free.  Flipping the system around, it's a mind game, and they are winning.....  

Smart dudes, and great beer.  Let the show begin...

My honest observation is that the beer is the star here. 

I did very much enjoy the pizza, but probably because the company was so good that really anything would taste great.  

This is a pizza chain and developed not necessarily by people that are true pizza crafters, so the crust is not really the star.  The toppings are the star and they do, very much, have some tasty combinations.  But the crust is like I have explained before in other posts, a bread dough and not a pizza dough.  No pull, no snap, no chew.  Compressed white bread.  It holds up to the toppings, physically, but it's not a true pizza dough.  Did I eat 12 slices?  Fo sho!

Nice oven

Wood fired

Very thin

Let's step back to the apps

This was Zucchini Balsamic Toast

Similar to a bruschetta but FANTASTICALLY good.

Pimento Cheese and Pita

If you haven't ever had pimento cheese your life is not complete.  It's delicious, hard to explain so I won't, but it's cheesy and yummy.

Looks like potato salad, but so not

The following pie is Sweet Thai Chicken.  It was the first pie we had and hands down the best.  However, had we started with a pie with less bold flavors we might have enjoyed them more, I think. 

Bronx Bomber

Really really good too.  So maybe I need to amend my previous comment a bit now that I see this pie.  This was a close second in the "favorite" race.  Lots of meat and some gorgonzola cheese too.

Rosemary Chicken and Mushroom

Kinda boring, not much rosemary flavor.  Had we started with this one it might have been enjoyed more.

We liked the pimento cheese app so much that we ordered the pie, which fell a little short, but fun to try.  The flavor of the app is bigger and bolder than the pie, so I'd just stick to that if I was you.

Desert pie..... Smores

Sharing this was great cause more than one slice and I'd be feeling this for a while.

Thick, gooey, yummy.  Worth a try.  Enjoy.

Beer, Pizza, Family.

More of all please.
