Raking in hundreds more reviews than even the most popular restaurants in Montana's biggest cities, this West Yellowstone pizza joint with full saloon has GOT to be a record holder for "online reviews to population" ratio. You can thank tourists and locals alike.

Let me explain why this is so interesting: Wild West Pizzeria & Saloon in West Yellowstone has nearly 2,400 (overwhelmingly positive) reviews on Trip Advisor. West Yellowstone has a full time population of maybe 1,500 people. That's A LOT of reviews for a small town restaurant. Wild West Pizzeria & Saloon was also a 2022 "Traveler's Choice" on Trip Advisor.

For comparison, Montana Ale Works in Bozeman has almost 2,000 reviews...but Bozeman has a population of nearly 60,000. Ale Works has been around for years, is immensely popular, and is also a 2022 "Traveler's Choice" restaurant on Trip Advisor. Bob Marshall's Biga Pizza in Missoula has just 450 reviews, and the popular Catalyst Café has only 350 reviews. (Missoula's population is over 76,000 in 2023.)

NOTE: The reviews quoted below were all checked to make sure they weren't "one off" positive reviews. Each one quoted was from a Trip Advisor user that had made several other reviews of completely unrelated businesses. No fake ones allowed.

We're not sure how a small town saloon and pizza place can garner so many positive online reviews but we're here for it. Have you ever been to Wild West Pizzeria & Saloon? It's pretty awesome and a really good choice for grabbing a quick lunch, OR heading out for pizza, drinks, games, and live music at night.

Not many places can pull off both "scenes". Finding a place that's family friendly during the day and a fun place to party at night is pretty rare. (Big chain restaurants try to pull it off sometimes but it's rarely successful.) A funky, local joint is always going to be a better choice in my book. And the reviews we found back that up.
