Driving along with no civilization and the night closing in on me, I started searching “food near me” and here we are MONDAY and nothing is open. I start to panic I might have to eat from a gas station or vending machine. I suddenly spy the oasis of Black Mountain Pepperoni’s Gourmet Pizza. I am judging and saying, “oh great, the cliche strip mall…” will it be a hidden gem? Well, yes, my people! It is a new staple in my mountain list of mom and pop stops. Thin crust was not good, but the hand tossed made in house crust was too die for. I chose the Great White which had Alfredo sauce and I added garlic Parmesan. Then it had mozzarella and basil. I added kalamata. I’m extra and I made the most bomb-azzz pizza ever. True delight. They had so many other good things I wanted to try like dessert pizza, calzones and salads. Vegetarian items clearly marked and it was easy to create a veg meal. They have gluten free crust and tons of cool art on the walls. I will always remember this pizza and love that they were so friendly. Don’t miss the homemade ranch. Crust totally 10/10.
