I'm not sure that my review will do Hand Fire Pizza justice. I can not rave about this restaurant, the employees or the food enough. We were looking for a space to have a fun casual get together prior to our small Tetons wedding. Weeks prior to our big day we still had not booked a place. We really wanted our "rehearsal dinner" to be nothing like a true rehearsal dinner. We just wanted to thank our friends for coming so far to help us celebrate our big day.
I came across Hand Fire Pizza and reached out. Paulie called me back and he was phenomenal from the very beginning! He offered the mezzanine area up for our friends and family. Everything he was able to do for us sounded perfect. Plenty of room to move around. Family style salads. A plethora of pizza choices served up buffet style and a dedicated server. The mezzanine space is above the restaurant with ability to look out over the entire restaurant and kitchen. Paulie also allowed us to reserve it exclusively for our group.
When we arrived on our dinner night in early May we were warmly greeted by Ocean. He took our group upstairs as they began to arrive. Rex, our incredibly phenomenal dedicated server that night introduced himself. He made sure that not only my fiancé (at the time), myself, but truly every single one of our guests did not want for anything. He was attentive, efficient, and truly kind. Throughout the entire night I knew he was just a moment away for anything we wanted.
A selection of salads served family style throughout all the tables is how the dinner kicked off. We were blown away at how fresh and tasty the ingredients were. If the salads were this good at this pizza joint, we just knew the pizzas were going to blow our minds. And they did do just that. We relied heavily on Rex's expertise when ordering the pizza. I believe we started with 6 large pies and then just kept the pizzas coming from there until every was sufficiently full.
The pizzas were all delicious, but there were a couple of that wow'ed the group. Such as Drivin' Me Caprese, The Chew-Baca, and MeatBawls. We ordered all of those thanks to Rex and his suggestions. Hands down if you can only get one pizza please make it The Chew-Baca! It has Herbed ricotta cheese, bacon, caramelized onion, fresh arugula with a spicy Slide Ridge honey drizzle on it. And it is absolutely fabulous!
The entire night could not have been more perfect! The entire staff was stellar! They made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Our entire group had the best time and I know it was in part to all the employees that helped us along with the phenomenal food and drink.
If you are looking for a good pizza while in Jackson Hole please either find your way to Hand Fire Pizza or call and order up a pie to go. My suggestion is The Chew-Baca.
And as for us I can not thank Paulie, Ocean, Rex, and Brian (I hope I got the last name correct, I had a beverage or two while celebrating) for all they did to make our night special. It truly was the best! So thank you Hand Fire Pizza!!!!! read more
