Biga Pizza speaks to what Missoulians want...local ingredients, funky pizza choices, and BYOB. It's a place to see and be seen. Too bad that means there's always a long wait when I try to go there. Expect about an hour before you are actually sitting down, drinking some of the wine or beer you brought along, and sampling some of the pizza.

And the pizza's fabulous, although a touch pricey. But the BYOB option makes pizza shared among friends surprisingly affordable. Other items on the menu, like the caprese salad appetizer and the sandwiches, also go along with the light, fresh fare concept. We really enjoyed the carmelized goat and Hungarian mushroom pizzas (both vegetarian).

But Pizza on the Fly is the go-to place between 11pm and 2am in downtown Missoula. Forget breakfast...what I really want while I'm contemplating the walk home or waiting for the drunk bus is a piece of pizza...and if it costs me $2.50, all the better.

If you want to get fancy, PotF gets its crust from local French bakery Le Petit Outre and is recognized by the Sustainable Business Council. But eating a massive piece of cheese pizza while warding off the cold Missoula winters, that will be the last thing on your mind.

It gets 4 stars instead of 5 because it's open really sporadically and has been disappointingly closed on a number of important evenings. It's also open for lunch on weekdays (most of the time).
