West First Wood-Fired Pizza

At West First, each stone-ground, wheat-crust pizza is baked just so—oozing mozzarella, and bearing the slightest shadow of a char on the edges of the thin, crisp crust. In addition to the 12 specialty pies, including the prosciutto pizza topped with aged Parma ham, marinara, warm mozzarella, and a sprinkling of nutty arugula, there are house-made pastas, calzones, torts, and less-expected fare like shrimp tagliatelle. True Italian desserts such as homemade gelato and chocolate-hazelnut tiramisu vie for attention with the more exotic wine-poached pears. Closed Sundays and Mondays. (828) 693-1080
