Aclose Should Be in the Dictionary

Examples...

"I snagged some pizza as it was aclose to me."

"It'll be easier to eat pizza from aclose."

I am no expert when it comes to using the word aclose , but I would assume the first use is wrong and second use is right. I would never see anyone use afar in the way you did in the first sentence. The second sentence certainly.

It did feel kind of awkward.

Yep, from a "This should be like afar" train of thought the first one is incorrect. Especially since "close" would just work in that sentence.

"I snagged some pizza as it was close to me."

Okay, I removed the bad example. Now I think they make sense.

I gazed upon her beauty from aclose.

I mean... slightly creepier but it would work.

And that restraining order will keep you longing for her from afar...

O IT God, Where Art Thou from afar?

Afar can be used only as a noun or adverb. Your two new examples work as a noun, and I assume would make them correct.
