Galactic Pizza in Asheville

We've been here 6 times in the last month. Not just for trivia. For drinks. Lunch. I'm pretty sure they'll start charging us rent sometime soon. Still swearing that the gluten free pizza is some of the best I've ever had. And definitely the best GF pizza I've had in Asheville. I am a big fan of the can beer specials even though it hurts my tummy. And usually if I'm working from home on Thursdays, I have to come here for a painkiller and lunch. The Wednesday night trivia has turned into hangover Thursday real fast. If you're not into pizza I recently tried their chicken Bahn mi sammie and it was DELICIOUS! SO freakin big I almost couldn't get my mouth around it. Almost. Never underestimate the power of a hangry and hungover KC... she won't stop till she gets what she wants. Also, make sure you pay attention to the TV, they always have the cutest animal videos playing. I get hooked in and all of my attention turns away fr...

Galactic Pizza has really tanked since reopening post-Covid and we will not be back.  Pre-Covid it was quite a treat. Dine-in pizza was served warm-ish, not hot.  Though the outer crust was crunchy, the bottom of the pizza was flimsy, the cheese barely melted and the slices were cut too large for our medium-sized pizza.  Two other visits in recent weeks were similar in experience. Sandwiches are a better choice with many of the selections being warm-ish hoagie versions of the menu's specialty pizzas. Decent beer selection.  The draft beer is cold from the tap but served in room-temperature glasses so it gets warm and goes flat fast. Staff look like they got off the bus from the homeless shelter.  Tattered street clothing, hair unkept or pulled up into a mop, questionable tattoo choices abound.  No one seems to be enjoying their job and would rather chat with each other or stare at their mobile devices rather than actually working (with the exception of one young bartendress). I sent an email to management about my experience and concerns.  They essentially said F-you.

Is it the best in the world? Probably not.  But is it pretty good pizza, great service, and a cool atmosphere 2 mins from our AirBnb?  Yes, yes it is. We popped in here after a long hike and snagged a 16 inch pepperoni pizza, a couple of Miller lites and a cosmic brownie.  The pepperoni pizza was plenty for 2 people- my fiancé thought it wasn't salty enough but she's picky.  We had 3 slices leftover that we'll eat for lunch tomorrow. We wanted to try the vegan pepperoni but traditional called to us. The Miller Lites were on par.  I liked our bartenders and waitress, everyone was chipper and super hospitable. The cosmic brownie was a good sim...
