Tom Fay, the owner of Pinky G’s Pizzeria, never dreamed he’d end up on the Food Network, let alone reappear for a second episode. It was shocking enough the first time when a producer from “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” called to tell him Guy Fieri wanted to come out and try a slice of pizza.
“I thought it was a prank call,” Fay said. “I couldn’t believe it. It was very shocking but amazing.”
We are open for dine-in, take out, and delivery! Pinky G’s strives to bring the best pizza to Jackson Hole each year and want to keep you coming back. We are open from 11AM to 10PM daily. Come by for great food, good people, music, sports, cocktails or for just a break from the daily grind!
