“Stopped by late afternoon with a party of 11. Everything was really good. Service was super fast and friendly. Large draft beer selection. Lots of interesting and yummy specialty pizzas, or build your own. Large portions. The salad was really good and someone in our party had a wrap that looked delicious. Will definitely be back!“

“Best Pizza Hands Down.. Better than All the other guys in Asheville, waynesville and surrounding areas, imo. Great Beer selection on tap also... A++++“

“Everything is always delicious here! Hubby and I both had the Philly special today and it was by far the best Philly we have had anywhere around!! Highly recommend!“

“Glad we tried Sauced!! We were in Waynesville shopping today and several restaurants on Main Street were closed. So we decided to try their restaurant because we heard good things. Best decision of the day. The food was awesome and prices average. Drinks were cold and refreshing. Our waitress was very friendly and did a great job getting our food and checking on us.As I said the food was out of this world good and fresh. We had mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, Quesadillas, burger and fries and one giant slice of pizza. I highly recommend this place.“

“Best Italian dressing hands down!! Also my favorite Italian restaurant ever! The wild mushroom ravioli was amazing!!“

“We had a birthday party for my nephew and needed something everyone would like but still a variety..... If your planning a party or just feeding a lot of people Little Caesars is where I would recommend going to. Even thou it was 21 pizzas and 7 crazy breads, when we picked it up, it was all fresh and not sloppy or made in a hurry. Everything was right and everyone was happy! Great group of people that helped us plan an event that an eight year old won't forget!!“

“We visit the Waynesville area often and usually eat here during our visit. I've never had a bad experience at this location and the food has always been great! I also recently had a mess up with an older on my part( it was totally my fault) . Nate was so kind and helped me get everything straightened out. He has the best attitude and is very appreciative of your business. He is definitely an asset to this business. We will definitely be back when we are in the area!“

“Ah, Papa John’s. The pizza that makes you feel like you’re at a party in your mouth, but it’s a party where your taste buds forgot to bring the snacks.

Let’s talk about the crust first. It’s like the pizza equivalent of that one friend who always brings chips to a potluck — reliable, but kinda basic. It’s not terrible, but it's not winning any awards. In fact, I think the crust might be the most humble part of the pizza. If it had a self-help book, it’d be titled How to Be Solid, But Not Too Showy.

Now, the sauce. I can’t help but wonder if it’s a secret recipe that’s been passed down through generations… of marketing teams. It’s tangy, it’s zesty, it’s like a punch in the face but in a good way, like getting an unsolicited high five from your grandma.

The cheese? Oh, the cheese. It’s like the glue that holds your life together — stretchy, melty, and with a surprising amount of staying power. You know, like when you tell yourself you’re only going to have one slice, but then somehow you're standing in front of the fridge at 2 AM, holding a pizza slice like it’s your last meal before a zombie apocalypse.

And then we come to the toppings. If you ordered anything other than pepperoni, congratulations, you’ve just entered a land of random topping choices that feel like they’re chosen by a pizza-obsessed game show host. Pineapple on pizza? Sure. Green peppers? Why not. Sausage? A classic. But do we really need four kinds of meat, or did Papa just think, “More is better!” and now we have enough protein to fuel an entire football team?

But the real game-changer is the garlic butter dipping sauce. This is the sauce that has you reconsidering your life choices. You’re dipping your crust in it, and suddenly you’re not just eating pizza anymore — you’re participating in an experience. It’s like the VIP pass to a flavor festival you didn’t even know you needed.

All in all, Papa John’s is pizza that will fill you up, make you question your life choices, and leave you happily wiping garlic butter off your chin. Five stars, would definitely overeat again.“

“Shout out to the staff who worked their butts off during Folkmoot, while short-staffed, but still offered excellent customer service on such a busy Saturday night. Thank you!“
