Trailhead Bar - Grill - Wood Fired Pizza

Interior of a Yellowstone restaurant with a long wooden table set for guests, glassware and cloth napkins along the center.

Crack of wood-fire on the crust fires up every bite. The Fungi pizza wears a blistered, charred edge with truffle oil whispering through the mushrooms, while the Fried Brussels Sprouts stay crisp and glossy with shaved apple and bourbon kiss. The Bison Bolognese braises in pomodoro until the porky depth shines through, plated over rigatoni. It’s a mountain lodge kitchen with a touch of urban swagger, casual and family-friendly, but ready to punch above its weight in flavor.
