Lastly, finish off your Friday with a night on the town. Stop by Pinky G’s Pizzeria if you are looking for casual and experience the best pizza in Jackson Hole; it was even featured on the TV show Diner, Drive-Ins & Dive’s! Or, if it is italian you are in the mood for, try Orsetto and only a few feet from the shootout.
