West by God CoalFired Pizza

Pigeon ForgePizza restaurant

West by God CoalFired Pizza delivers excellent wood-fired pizza with a crispy crust that guests rave about, plus the unique addition of on-site axe throwing. The beer wall concept and live music on Friday nights create a fun, lively atmosphere. However, service can be maddeningly inconsistent—some servers are exceptional while others barely acknowledge guests, and delivery orders have experienced significant problems with wrong orders and multi-hour delays.
