We split a small salmon pizza for lunch. I thought it was good, but my husband found it kind of weird. To me it tasted like a fish pie, I liked the addition of caramelized onions and artichokes. I would like to try different pizzas from this place, hopefully we will be back soon.
Pros: no wait, kids friendly, fair prices

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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
Used to be our favorite place in Hendo, though the consistency has been lacking recently. We know there are always ebbs and flows in the dining industry. Staffing has been rough, etc. However, tonight we were shocked at the inedible food we were served. The garlic knots were literally burnt to a crisp and harder than a rock. Not charred, but actually burnt and black. This isn't the first time. Attention to detail has been lacking lately, and we really hope that changes because we still love west first! The atmosphere and service have always been wonderful.
And on a final note, they still have some of the best carrot cake we’ve EVER had. That has always remained consistent and yummy :)
Good food, drinks, and friendly staff. Had a Bianco pizza, delicious!
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.
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 .
Delicious food! We couldn’t decide what was the best. We loved the garlic knots, pizza, and crème brûlée. Kid friendly and great service.
This was.probably the best meal I had in my two weeks in Hendersonville. It's fun and busy and artsy, and each dish was killer. I got this cheese and onion soup- kinda like French onion but not exactly and it was brilliant. Try the salmon!
Excellent thin crust pizza. Standard option pepperoni (large diameter slices) to prosciutto with arugula. Not to mention the balsamic dressing on the West Side House salad was light and smooth. Some balsamic I find strong & bold, not bad, just bold. This was nice and light. I really enjoyed the food and out server was supper attentive and ever so pleasant.
Love the space. The pizza was good, but the crust was a little over charred. The bread on the rueben was great, but again, heated too much where the crust was hard and inedible. The corn beef was dry due to overcooking as well. It could be a great sandwich. My wife had the chicken strip salad which she loved. I'll try it again. So far it's one of the best spots I've eaten at in Hendersonville.
This was a tasty place to eat in Hendersonville. The personal pizzas are bomb. Got the goat cheese, and it was so good. It has a nice atmosphere and the food is excellent. I will definitely be back!
Worth the drive from Asheville if you’re looking for good pizza. Great salads, pizza and appetizers, in a nice setting with great service. Thank you
