For our last dinner in West Glacier, we decided on pizza and it hit the spot.

We got a pepperoni with extra cheese and man it was delicious. Cupped pepperoni is my favorite and I was excited to see it on there. I got a couple cups of hot honey to drizzle on the pizza and it could have been hotter, but it was yummy regardless.

The next time we’re here I won’t hesitate to grab a pizza from them!

This place is a good stop to grab food before or after the park, but be prepared to spend a lot of dough. For a GF pizza, a 12 inch pizza, a salad, bottled water, and beer was $80. Everything was delicious, but I wasn't expecting the bill to be so high. They do use real pepperoni because the edges curl up. They have seating, but it is only outdoors, but almost all of the tables have an umbrella. Sitting area are round iron picnic style circular tables.

Check in was easy, the site was very nice and quiet, we had enough space for tents and cars.

Delicious pizza with a thick layer of cheese sitting on top a sturdy, crispy crust that has been baked brown for maximum flavor. Arguably a perfect pizza. After a day of hiking or rafting this pizza tastes amazing. Garlic knots had literal garlic chunks inside of baked bread twists.

The group site is very spacious and well thought out planned. It is also very convenience as it is within walking distance to Lake McDonald, Visitor Center and the village. Our group enjoyed kayaking and swimming at lake McDonald, shopping at the village market. We loved the performance at the Ranger program.
Being close to the visitor center is a big plus to get in line early for the shuttles.
