First time visiting Boise and Wilder was our first choice from what we saw on google. They did NOT disappoint, the food, atmosphere, and service was outstanding. Nicole was fantastic and helped us navigate the city and point us in the direction for local attractions. Over all a wonderful experience for my wife and I and we will be back.

Such a great pizzeria in the heart of Boise. It’s been on my list for a while now and I finally got to stop by. Cool city vibe without being pretentious. Excellent hosting and table service. I came with lots of questions and our server nailed every one of them. The salads and appetizers are bursting with flavor and thoughtful preparation. And the sourdough pizza crust is made with skill and love. Light, crispy, tender and digestible. A real gem. They have won best pizza in Idaho, and for good reason. I do think their prices were a little low for the quality they served up, but I won’t complain. Great jobs Wylder! I’ll be back.

feels like a place that understands momentum — how a day builds, how hunger turns into anticipation, how a good meal can quietly reset everything. I didn’t notice the pizza first. I noticed the noise. Not loud, not chaotic — just alive. Glasses clinking, people leaning in, laughter bouncing lightly off the walls. The kind of sound that tells you something good is happening before you even sit down. Then the food arrives, and it’s clear why the place hums. The pizzas are balanced in a way that feels deceptively simple: crisp edges, chewy centers, toppings that know when to stop. Nothing is overloaded. Nothing is trying to prove a point. It’s confidence baked into dough. The salads and small plates play their role perfectly — fresh, sharp, designed to keep you interested rather than full too soon. Service moves with the room. Quick when it should be, unhurried when it matters. No one interrupts the flow. You’re allowed to linger, to order one more thing, to change your mind. The Wylder isn’t just a pizza spot. It’s a rhythm. And once you fall into it, leaving feels optional.

Love this place. For me the sourdough crust pizza is the best ever! I love the kale salad as well. I have been here countless times, and although other items look equally good as I see them delivered to tables, but I never seem to get beyond the pizza I love so much. Sit at the bar if you enjoy watching delicious craft cocktails being made. Highly recommended.

Great food and atmosphere! Went with a toddler and they had a fun stick activity thing waiting for him, which was nice. The service was great the entire time, and our group of 5 only had about a 30-minute wait. We ordered a variety to share, and all went home full and with plenty of leftovers. Here is what we ordered: The Every Night Salad- a sweeter salad with apples, pecans, and vinaigrette. The Buttermilk Market Salad - cheesy, and the house ranch was amazing; the seasonal vegetable was bell peppers, which gave it a nice crunch. Note on both salads, we should have just gotten one to share. They were very large salads. House-made Ricotta - served with thick toast, a jalapeño/chile poblano, and a cranberry preserve. The bread that came with it was perfect to load up the ricotta and preserves without breaking while still being soft. The toddler in our group could not get enough and ended up taking the whole jar! Meatballs- the sauce was very bright with flavors from the tomato and basil, and the meatball itself was so juicy and tender. Highly recommend! Lasagna- incredible! So so flavorful and large portion that was just as good heated up the next day. The sauce was great and layered to perfection. Brussels sprouts- normally I don’t like Brussels sprouts but these were tangy and the hazelnuts gave it a very unique flavor. I really enjoyed them. Bronco Pizza- salumi with burrata was a great combination! A little spicy with the Fresno chili, but it has enough burrata to calm the spice. Hula School - added pepperoni to this pizza for the toddler, and he loved it. The charred pineapple with the pepperoni and candied bacon gives it a perfect balance of savory and sweet. Winter Estate- the sweetness from the pear/ balsamic balances out the saltiness from the Gorgonzola and prosciutto, but the real star of the show was the kale. Highly recommend this pizza! Star Chips- chocolatey cookies with ice cream. What else can you ask for! Salted Caramel Ice Cream Pie- larg

On a work trip to Boise and we were told about this hidden gem! Great quality food and tasty drinks. All the food pics are half eaten - bc the food was that good!! I ordered the Italian meatballs and the cauliflower with chickpeas for my appetizers. The meatballs came with fresh sourdough bread and a great marinara sauce for dipping. I ate every last bite of both appetizers. Then I ordered a pizza to go. 1/2 honey badger and the other 1/2 was a seasonal selection. Again, the pizza did not disappoint. I took it for lunch the next day. Great service and a lovely atmosphere. The wait was two hours when we arrived and they did not take reservations. We opted to sit in the bar to experience Wylder! Definitely would recommend if you so happen to be in Boise, Idaho!

VERDICT: Best pizza in Boise, especially if you're dining in. FOOD: I will admit I was skeptical of sourdough pizza, but this place has a very mild sour and the flake and crisp of the crust provides a second-to-none foundation for the excellently sourced and blended flavors they top it with. Their carefully curated options prevent the normal, boring ruts of meat lovers or supreme, and instead offer excellent takes on new flavors. Their salads are also to die for, with a peak freshness and bright flavors blending into the deeply rich dressing. I highly recommend the salad with the pizza. SERVICE: Always top-notch. Quick, attentive service without conversational interruptions. The staff know their menu well and can offer insights as well. ATMOSPHERE: Pretty swanky for a pizza place but I appreciate it being elevated from your standard pub fare to where it sits here-- a matured pizza experience.

My husband and I are visiting from Texas and this was the first restaurant we decided to try during our stay. We went on a Monday night for dinner and even though it was packed, it was well worth the wait! Our server, Nicole was so sweet, attentive, and helpful whether it was making suggestions for food or giving us all the recommendations for things to do in Boise! The food was INSANE and very reasonably priced! We walked out paying $60 before tip for 2 of us! The pizza dough is made from a 58 year old sourdough starter and it was so light and airy but crispy! We cannot say enough good things about Wylder and we will be back to see Nicole!

The Wilder absolutely lives up to the hype—especially if you’re into great pizza with a little personality. They’re known for their sourdough crust, and for good reason. My wife went with the classic Margherita, and I ordered the crispy pepperoni. Both pizzas were excellent. The crust deserves special mention: crisp on the outside with a solid undercarriage, just the right chew in the middle, and perfectly balanced flavor. I’ve seen a few reviews say the sourdough is “overwhelming,” and that honestly couldn’t be further from the truth—it’s exactly what a well-done sourdough crust should be. We also sampled a couple of beers from what they had on tap, served cold and refreshing—great pairings with the pizzas. Service was friendly and on point, the space itself is really well done, and despite being downtown, parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a win. I only managed to snap a photo of the Margherita (pictured), but trust me—the pepperoni was just as fantastic. Highly recommend The Wilder. This is a spot we’ll absolutely be going back to. 🍕🍺
