Food scene
The Wylder is relatively new to the Boise food scene but tops the charts for favorites. Maybe it’s the 52-year-old sourdough starter they use for the pizza, or the family-secret lasagna recipe. Could be the deserts lovingly baked each day by Yaya herself. Better try the Honeybadger (a white pizza with Italian sausage, ricotta, caramelized onions, and spicy honey) the Bronco (a red pie with salami, pickled Fresno chilies, and burrata).

It all starts with the food, of course. That’s why at Fork, they have developed their “Loyal to Local” pledge, a commitment that has them sourcing many of their key ingredients from local Boise and Northwest farmers, ranchers, bakers, distillers, brewers, producers and cheese makers.
