A Note from our Founder
If you are looking for the best pizza you’ve ever tasted, come on in to Wild West.
Wild West Pizzeria was founded in 1999 by Aaron Hecht with the goal of making the best pizza in West Yellowstone. We continue to strive for that goal and our customers say that Wild West Pizzeria the #1 pizza place in town year after year. In fact, many of our customers have said it’s the best pizza they have ever tasted. We’ve grown a little since those early days and with the addition of a full bar and video gaming, have become Wild West Pizzeria & Saloon. With family dining in the Pizzeria and adult dining in the Saloon, we feel we have created a welcoming environment for all of our great customers. We believe in making fresh- homemade products using only the best ingredients. Our dough is made with Wheat Montana flour which is milled just down the road in Three Forks, Montana. Aaron grew up in the heart of wheat country in eastern Montana and knows the importance of using locally grown quality products. Our sauce is a family recipe that Aaron’s mom used to make when he was growing up. We use premium loafs of mozzarella cheese, which we grate off the block every day. We believe that great food takes time and we are committed to giving our customers a great dining experience. The Saloon offers a fun time in the town of West Yellowstone with live music, karaoke, club nights, pool tables and video gaming. Come check out why Wild West Saloon has been the most popular bar in town for many years! Many loyal customers come back year after year and are happy to find that the experience and the product remain the same. If you are looking for the best pizza in town, come and visit us at Wild West Pizzeria & Saloon.
Timeline

Wild West pizzeria Opened
Aaron Hecht fulfilled his lifelong dream in opening his pizzeria! The doors opened to the public on May 28th, 1999. On opening day, we offered a $5.00 all you could eat buffet!
2009
Remodel and Expansion
After 10 years, Jack Strozzi, the owner of Strozzi’s Bar, decided to sell his bar.

2019
20th Anniversary
After a very successful 20 years of business, Aaron Hecht wanted to thank his customers and local community for all the support!! The establishment put on a $5.00 all you can eat buffet to celebrate our 20th anniversary the same way we did opening day back in 1999.
2021
needing to expand even more
Our main goal here at Wild West Pizzeria and Saloon is keeping our customers happy! We started to realize with how much business we were getting with takeout, delivery, and dine orders that our customers were waiting longer for their orders than we wanted. Our owner, Aaron Hecht, started coming up with ideas on how to expand the current business!
2022
New Location Opened
After a long year of planning our expansion, Wild West Express finally opened May 28th, 2022!! This new building became our outlet to fulfill all our takeout and delivery orders in an express manner! We also used this location to expand the business even more. In the new location we added new products! Which include different merchandise items with our logo, and take ‘n’ bake versions our of pizzas, macaroni and cheese, and lasagna.
