The Wylder

Stopped by The Wylder recently for lunch and was really impressed overall. I went with the fried chicken sandwich and paired it with their house salad. The sandwich was crispy and flavorful, with a nice kick from the spicy mustard & apples and a soft bun that held everything together. The house salad was fresh and well-dressed—a perfect light balance to the richness of the sandwich. Portions were generous, and everything came out looking appetizing. Service stood out as a highlight here. Our server was friendly, attentive, and quick with refills and check-ins, which made the meal feel easy and relaxed. Even though the place was busy, we never felt rushed or overlooked. Atmosphere-wise, The Wylder has a casual vibe but is spotlessly clean and comfortable. The decor is modern but not over-the-top, and it felt like the kind of spot you could hang out in for a while. All in all, a great spot for a casual meal downtown. Solid food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu! —Visited May 2025

I took my entire family to this restaurant because my aunt had gifted me a gift card for my recent birthday. The food and service here were excellent. The meatballs were giant, and they made their own tomato sauce fresh. The Harissa Wings tasted like a fresh, slightly spicy orange chicken. Their in-house ranch is also delicious. My adult son, who never likes ranch, loved it here. My friend enjoyed the cauliflower and chickpeas best. It was perfectly cooked and the sauce was tasty. The pizza we liked best was the honeybadger and yaya's house. They also made a great pepperoni pizza (two of my son's don't like to adventure with their food). It is pretty spendy, but you get what you pay for- fresh ingredients that take time to prepare. The parking is difficult, but that's pretty typical for downtown Boise anyway. We all enjoyed our late lunch here.

Wow! Some of the best pizza we've had since Napoli! That crust is next level good. Perfectly crispy, yet flavorful. Well aged. The flavor combinations are unreal. The honey badger was not normal for me to choose, but its popularity won me over. It did not disappoint. The Italian sausage, fresh ricotta, and spicy honey was such a genius combo. Love it! The Margherita pizza with added burrata was perfection. The kale caesar was a surprise hit. Perfectly balanced and flavorful. The wife loved her cocktails (boulevardier). Our server, Kendall, was a gem. She was the perfect host to a perfect meal.

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.

If you get one thing, get the meatballs. Everything else is gravy. Note: pizza dough needs more flavor but love the light delicate cheese pull.

Went here for lunch with my coworkers. I got the Mushroom Toast, they got pizza and a kale salad. We all shared. Everything was delicious and the place is small but very nice and comfortable. The waiter we had was so nice and friendly. The hostess might have been having an off day cause she definitely didn't seem like she wanted to see a single person walk in the doors haha but other than that, super cute place and would go again.

We had Homemade Ricotta with bread a 2 homemade jams (1-blueberry and 2-pepper jams), crispy Brussels sprouts, and farm girl! Pizza was okay but the first two items were really tasty! Totally recommend

Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! Easily our favorite restaurant in Boise. The Honey Badger white pie is unreal. They use a 57-year old sourdough starter for the pizza and it shows. Get a side of ranch to dip the crusts in. The buttermilk market salad was also a great starter. We didn’t get the Bronco pie or fried chicken, but if we’re back in the area, this will be our first stop. Dessert was delicious, but we were so full we only had a bite each. Good to go with a group.
