West First Wood-Fired

Some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. I was torn between thr potato pizza and their simple cheese pizza. The waitress said if she was being honest, the cheese was hands down her favorite. It was fantastic. I've never been to Italy, but I imagined I was there and thought it must be the closest thing to it.

My friend got the meat lovers and I had a piece of it too and it was wonderful.

The salad was amazing too with pistachio, Goat cheese, and balsamic. Such a great combination.

I've heard the pasta is good and is made fresh daily. And I've heard the salmon is perfect. Definitely want to go back!

The best gluten free Pizza Crust I have ever had! Very thin & crispy. The Roasted Salmon Pizza was 💯! The House Salad complimented it very well. And, I appreciate WF using organic Salad Mix! My goal this year is only to patronize restaurants that are using organic ingredients. So, definitely will be eating here more frequently.

Very cozy spot off Main Street in Hendersonville that has free parking. The pizza was delicious - very flavorful with lots of cheese. The employees were kind and attentive. I'll definitely be going back!

Everything we ordered was amazing (as usual)!

For starters, it's impossible for us to go to West First and not order the Goat Cheese and Artichoke dip with fresh ciabatta bread. Its just heavenly. I also love their homemade marinara, so I always get a side of that to go with my bread for dipping.

For our main courses, we had the Wild Mushroom Fettuccine (with the addition of the perfectly seasoned bronzed salmon) and the Fresh Mussels with cream dill sauce.

The perfectly cooked house-made fettuccine, tossed with loads of mixed mushrooms, and a subtle taste of truffle butter and herbs was sublime. Likewise, for the fresh mussels, which is one of our favorite dishes to order!

Finally, we could not pass up the dessert special: Basque Cheesecake topped with Raspberry Caramel, Pecan Cookie Crumble and Fresh Blackberries. We got that to go and shared it the next day. OMG! It was out of this world!

West First never disappoints, both with their wonderful creative and fresh food, but also their excellent service!

This meal was likely the highlight of my two-week stay in Hendersonville. The atmosphere was lively, vibrant, and filled with artistry, and every dish was outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the cheese and onion soup, reminiscent of French onion but with its own unique twist—it was absolutely fantastic. If you have the chance, definitely try the salmon!

Excellent pizzas and perfect size. My wife and I ordered two 11" pizzas (Goat cheese pizza and Greek chicken pizza) and they were delicious. Perfect thin crust and the toppings were outstanding.

Highly recommend!

Like anywhere in the area, be sure you have a reservation because it gets very busy.

We opted to just do carry out and loved our pizza.

Fantastic food and they had it out in 15 minutes.

Highly recommend.

Made reservations last night. I brought my sister, from out of town. Fabulous food service and atmosphere. Loved it all. I had the meat lovers, she had the beef stroganoff, hubby had the spaghetti and meatballs. Must try the goat cheese artichoke dip....

Great experience! The place was packed and they welcomed us like family, keeping us updated as to when our table would be ready. Super organized staff, very delicious food! I highly recommend this spot for pizza, salad or sandwiches.

I love West First! They never let me down!
I made reservations tonight at 7:00pm. We came in ten minutes early, while it was busy, and we’re still sat immediately! Our server was very attentive and the food was, as always, amazing!
You will not be disappointed.
Parking can be rough but Main Street traffic is worth it.

Planned a surprise 75th Birthday Celebration for my husband. Called the restaurant and Brooke assisted me in securing the reservation. We used the upstairs loft and all participants enjoyed themselves. Our server Joe was wonderful and very attentive to all meal needs. Everyone went out of their way to make this a memory for us! Would not hesitate to visit this venue again and again!

The best pizza place around. I got the BBQ pizza and it was amazing! Their house salad pairs well with their pizza! You can't go wrong with this place! Everything is amazing

So nice we ate here twice.

We were recommended by our Airbnb host to come here for the best pizza. It did not disappoint. Our waitress was so considerate and super accommodating for my friend’s dairy allergy. The Tijuana tango cocktail was amazing.

While we came for pizza the first time, The pasta section jumped out at us and we knew had to come back. Found ourselves back here two days later grabbed a seat at the bar with Aaron(?name? Woops). Once again great service and our pasta was just as delicious as the menu made it seem!

10/10 will be back.

Talk about a cute adult atmosphere in downtown Hendersonville. First time being here invited by friends, and waiting for a table was a challenge, over an hour for a party of seven. Delicious pizza and drinks. Our waitress let us know how overwhelmed they were! Never a good look, even though her truth was verbalized. That is par for the course these days, people are few and far between when it comes to working, no one want to work!

Go. Just go. We went in with no expectations, just craving a pizza. The goat cheese pizza is savory, with a perfectly airy, soft, and sturdy crust. Their breads are all freshly made in house. The wine selection won't let you down and the atmosphere is so inviting, with beautiful splashes of color and great seating - regardless of where you sit!

This place is absolutely incredible. Everything from the apps to the salads and pizzas were amazing. Great selection of local draft beers as well. This will be a mainstay for sure.

Delicious wood fired pizza with lots of gluten free options for the pizza and entrees . The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again soon .

If you can't do alot of garlic don't get the garlic knots, they were deliciously saturated with garlic.. key word delicious. Pizza was awesome. Service was great despite being completely packed.

6 months later, 4 dinners here total. 2 of the time I was there around 6pm and they ran out of garlic knots. There so good and run out fast most nights.

Good food, drinks, and friendly staff. Had a Bianco pizza, delicious!

Cool casual vibe. Pizza is excellent and the salads tasty. Good beer selection with several local brews on tap. Park on the street, don't bother with the parking lot at dinner time.
