JACKSON, Wyo. — If there was one food to unite and divide us, pizza takes the cake — well, pie.
There’s no meal that brings a family together as quickly as sharing pizza, with toppings to match the individual and a Lazy Susan to create camaraderie.
Whether cut by the slice or served in the round, palates no doubt judge a good pizza by its crust, a good ratio of sauce to mozzarella. Thankfully, from flatbread to thin crust to wide and foldable, Jackson has more than one style of to ’za serve up.
Yearning for thin and crispy, go for the large slices at Cutty’s and their age-old South Jersey Shore recipe for dough and sauce, or park it on Broadway at Yeah Buddy for their house-made San Marzano pasta sauce and A-game approach to bison and elk toppings.
There’s only one type of cooking appliance installed in the old Teton Theatre: wood-fired pizza ovens. Hand Fire Pizza’s hand-stretched dough champions organic, local and regional ingredients as much as the short growing season in Wyoming allows. Simplicity guides the ambiance, and though it’s known for its savory options, the sweeter side of Hand Fire’s menu includes cast iron skillet desserts like fruit cobbler and brownies made while the oven still holds heat from the previous evening and before the hot wood fire is ignited for the day’s pizzas.
Food Network’s favorite on-the-road chef Guy Fieri loves Jackson’s Pinky G’s just as much as the locals crave its New York-style pies for lunch. Catch late-night crews saying the crust is the best in town.
With faves like the Abe Froman (marinara, shredded mozzarella, Italian sausage, fresh mozzarella, fresh chopped basil) and the Guys Pie (shredded mozzarella, ricotta, blue cheese crumbles, roasted chicken, shredded pepperoni, topped with blue cheese dressing hot sauce), it’s easy to understand why locals consistently vote for this standby as their pizzeria of choice.
For a full pie experience, friends and families can head out to the West Bank for the classic Ski Bum experience, a staple pizza on the Calico menu featuring pesto, spinach, Canadian bacon, artichoke hearts, olives, tomatoes, pine nuts and parmesan. Or enjoy a choice of deep dish and thin crust at Wilson’s Pizza in the heart of downtown.
Out at Teton Village, Corsa’s stone-fired pizzas are a sight to behold as they rise into the custom-tiled hearth flanked by mountains. The “pizze” at Il Villagio Osteria weaves Italian flavors into contemporary slopeside options as it matches bechamel and prosciutto.
And last but not least, enjoy a menu named for the peaks Dornan’s Pizza & Pasta Company sits beneath. The beloved institution serves up slices of Jackson’s history north of town, in Moose. The Dornan business began over a hundred years ago when Evelyn Middleton Dornan filed for a homestead on 20-plus acres along the east bank of the Snake River. These days, the outpost is home to seasonal shops and a cozy pizza corner open all year long.
