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 philosophy of making the best pizza in West Yellowstone. We have held true to our promise and our customers have voted Wild West Pizzeria the #1 pizza place in town year after year. In fact the majority of our customers have said it’s the best pizza they have ever tasted. We believe in making a fresh product using only the best ingredients. Our dough is made with Wheat Montana flour. Aaron grew up in the heart of wheat country in eastern Montana and knows the value of quality products. Our sauce is a family recipe that Aaron’s mom used to make when he was growing up. We use only Wisconsin mozzarella and provolone cheese, which we grate every day off of the block. Wild West believes that great food takes time and we are not a fast food establishment. Our 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 you’ve ever tasted come on in to Wild West.
Best Wishes,
AARON L. HECHT
Timeline

Wild West pizzeria Opened
Aaron Hecht fulfilled his life long dream in opening his pizzeria! Doors opened to the public in May 28th, 1999. On opening day we offered a $5.00 all you could eat buffet!
2009
Remodel and Expansion

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 a long time to get their orders. 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.
