Welcome to the home of unapologetically fast-casual pizza. If you are looking for standard, run-of-the-mill slices, you might want to look elsewhere. PIE.ZAA started as the boldest late-night spot for Pizza Asheville North Carolina had ever seen. What began as a local legend has quickly grown into a statewide go-big, go-late dining experience. We believe that every pie should drop with massive flavor and even bigger energy. It is the kind of meal that turns a regular night out into a great story you will tell your friends the next day. Since 2020, we have been here to serve the lunch crushers, the late-night legends, and families looking for huge value. We are here for anyone who refuses smallness.

What It Dough: Who We Are

At PIE.ZAA, our philosophy is a rebellion against smallness. We make huge, 28-inch, foldable, brag-worthy slices. By keeping our menu simple and offering fewer options, we ensure maximum flavor. Less choice means better food when you actually care about quality.

Everything we do goes big. You will find big slices you will always remember, big taste with zero big-box shortcuts, and big quality driven by real ingredients and genuine craft. Most importantly, you will find big personalities behind the counter and big love for our community. We are loud, real, high-energy, and completely unapologetic about it. If it doesn’t go big, it’s not PIE.ZAA.

The Founder’s Story: Trading Scalpels for Pizza Boxes

Meet Tyler Kotch, the guy who walked away from the operating room to chase a bigger, bolder idea of food and life. Tyler grew up in Butler, Pennsylvania, where hustle mattered and handshakes meant something. A lacrosse scholarship took him to college, and his grit eventually led him into a highly successful medical sales career. He flew coast to coast for Johnson & Johnson, navigating big money and even bigger pressure in New York City.

One day, standing in an operating room, Tyler had a realization. He was helping save lives, but he was not saving his own. He wanted a place built on high energy, real people, and honest work. He wasn’t chasing pizza at first; he was chasing a bolder idea of community and connection. He found the perfect match for this dream in Asheville, a city with a huge personality packed into a small-town frame. Tyler proved that the world gets better when people refuse mediocrity and show up big. Today, he is still that kid from Butler, just holding a much larger slice.
