Saturday night at Blue Mountain Pizza in Weaverville with John O'Connor. The pizza spot does live music pretty regularly, and it's a solid weekend option if you want something more low-key than downtown.

Locals consistently name the cheesecake here as top-tier, the kind of thing people order even when they're stuffed from pizza. The downtown spot has been slinging hand-thrown pies and scratch-made food since 2004, and that dessert game clearly gets the same attention.

Blue Mountain Pizza is a family-friendly Weaverville pizzeria and live music venue serving hand-thrown pizza, full Italian fare, and craft beer with free live bands nightly — americana, bluegrass, and acoustic singer-songwriter shows.

The pub is family-friendly and features free live music nightly. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming with attentive service.
