Really enjoyed our visit to West by God CoalFired Pizza.
Knocking off one star because at least 1/4 to maybe 1/3 of the beer wall was tapped out, and one of the two cocktails we wanted was also unavailable, which was definitely a little disappointing.
That said, the pizza and baked pepperoni rolls were amazing. I haven’t had coal-fired pizza in a long time, and it’s honestly in a different category than your normal pizzeria pizza.
The staff was great and the atmosphere was good. I’m sure it gets loud when it’s busy, but we came about a week before tourist season starts, so it was a nice time to visit.
Didn’t do any axe throwing this time, but the targets looked good and not too beat up.
Also, they have Xul PB&J Mixtape on tap, which is a big bonus.
They also appear to have some roaring drink specials.
We’ll definitely come back and check on the beer wall situation again soon.

Definitely recommend calling to make reservations. This place is very busy. Tonight, they were very short-staffed, and the poor servers were working their tails off.
Forgot to take pictures, but the food was delicious! We had a cheese pizza and the trio with Soggy Bogg (not sure if that was the name?) pizza (kinda like meat lover's), boneless wings, and pork rinds.
The pizza crust was thin and cooked to perfection. The pizza had plenty of toppings. We really liked the bacon jam on the pizza.
The wings and pork rinds were great, too. We also ordered the fried pickles & banana peppers. They were delicious, as well.
Live music started at 7 PM. The band was great. Good variety of music. A bit loud, but still enjoyable.
Service was slow due to the short-staffing, but everyone had a great time. I would definitely go back.

Personally I did not have a good experience. There was live music when I went so it was overwhelmingly loud (but that is to be expected with live music of course). But we were sat down for a good 10- 15 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order. We ordered the pretzel with beer cheese and got no beer cheese because it was frozen. They didn’t mention that before we ordered and only said something about it once they brought the pretzel to us. (They brought it to us with the pizza and not as an appetizer). The pretzel was good, but I wouldn’t have ordered it, had I known I wouldn’t have had the beer cheese to dip it in. We were told we could just use the mustard on the table:/ the server did discount the pretzel though. I wasn’t a fan of the chicken bacon ranch pizza either. I was hoping ranch would have been the base but it was only lightly drizzled on the top. But that’s just my preference. That being said the pizza as well as the pretzel was cooked well, just an unfortunate set of events.

🍕 West By God Pizzeria Review
We decided to try West By God Pizzeria because we’re from WV and couldn’t resist a place that plays off our home state — especially when we saw they had homemade pepperoni rolls on the menu. That alone made it a must-try for us!
The vibe was great — relaxed and welcoming — and the servers were very attentive and personable. You can tell they care about the experience.
Now, full disclosure… we consider ourselves pepperoni roll snobs since we’ve had the best of the best. 😊 We ordered the pepperoni rolls, a meatball pizza, and an 8-piece boneless wings.
The pepperoni rolls were good in flavor, but a little dense for our taste. We’re used to a roll that’s a bit more “risen” and fluffy. Still tasty — just a texture preference on our end.
The meatball pizza had a crust that was VERY good — cooked to perfection with a great bite. I wasn’t crazy about the ricotta (just personal preference), so next time I’d leave that off and probably add extra meatballs instead. Speaking of meatballs… not sure if they’re homemade, but they were very flavorful!
Now let’s talk wings! We ordered boneless — my husband got half buffalo, and I tried the hot honey buffalo. They were AMAZING. It was my first time trying anything hot honey, and I’m officially a fan. 🔥🍯
Overall, a fun spot with great service and some standout menu items. We’ll definitely be back — especially for those wings!

We stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon in January 2026. We think the pizza here at West By God is the best in Pigeon Forge. We have been here many times in the past. On this day however the service was absolutely horrible. We sat for a while watching some people get up and leave because they did not get waited on. The place was busy with only one server that I could see at the time and she was behind the bar most of the time. The hostess who was very nice finally asked us for our drinks order and she returned with our drinks. After about 20 minutes or so the server finally took our pizza order we ordered two pizzas because in the past they are so good. Well about 30 more minutes went by we asked the hostess if she could check on our pizza order and she did. She returned and said it would be about 15 more minutes before our pizza would be out. Well by this time I knew the server probably forgot to put our order in. The nice thing about this pizza restaurant is it doesn’t take long to cook a pizza so that is how we knew our order was not put in. So we have been sitting for over an hour so we told the hostess to give us the bill for our drinks tea and a coke and we would go somewhere else to eat.
I have heard of a lot of other people saying the service is bad here well this was the first time we experienced bad service. We hope it will get better here soon. Unfortunately we probably will not be back here for pizza. We live here and there are just too many restaurants to eat at here in the Pigeon Forge area.
