Here at Calabria Brick-Oven Pizzeria we create something truly special that would allow the world to try authentic pizza. Our pizza dough is made from scratch daily using an old recipe and cold fermented up to 72 hours, giving it time to develop a unique flavor. Our pizzas are 100% handmade to order and baked in our brick wood fire oven at a heat of around 750°F to 850° F degrees. This intense blast of heat locks in all the natural flavors, creating a soft and chewy in the middle and charred crust on the outside. Calabria Brick-Oven Pizzeria is the perfect atmosphere – whether it be a business lunch, date night, a large family celebration, or corporate event. No matter the occasion, we have the perfect space for you. Our full bar provides a vibrant venue for an evening out with friends.

Valentine’s Day / Anniversary lunch and it did not disappoint! I had the 9 oz filet medallions with baked potato and broccoli and my wife had the chicken piccata with broccoli, mashed potatoes and creamy Chicken mushroom soup. We shared the chocolate mouse cake and it was amazing! I’ve never had anything from the Chop House that wasn’t fresh and delicious. Service is always consistent and superior to most restaurants in Hendersonville…. You can’t go wrong selecting the Chop House for a special occasion or nice meal out…
