So I am a total New York pizza snob and have very high standards...Wiseguys is really good and right up there with some of the best pizza in Boise! For my money, it's Wiseguys and Guido's and everything else is a few tiers down. Went on Friday night before a basketball game and ordered a large pizza and some wings. The pizza came and was fantastic...crisp crust with a bit of a crunch, nice balance of cheese and toppings...really good! They didn't catch our wings when we ordered them, so when my son asked about them they brought us an order and didn't charge us for them...very good service! Looking forward to many a pies at this place! read more

This was our first time in as a family. My husband works downtown, and has been there before alone. I wanted a quick Guidos meal as it was late and the kids were starving. We had just been to a long yet fun city choir function at BSU. My husband suggested Wiseguy's, said I would like it. It was fast. Customer service was spot on. We sat in the back area, the kids got a table of their own. We loved the pizza, the garlic knots, and even the simple garden salad was fresh. The ranch dressing was cold, like it should be! I hate a warm dressing.. And ewe.. always scared to eat it anyway. The downside.. Well, the NBA game was on and given there were only 3 other people there, one was LOUD. Now.. I'm no pansy to sports bar loudness. I get it! I love a good game. The couple at the bar were normal. Laugh a little, root a little. It's all good. But.. Apparently the LOUD girl was a girlfriend of someone working there. No food, maybe a drink by her, but good lord, I felt like I was sitting next to her. She cussed a few times, LOUDLY. Her ultra volume wasn't even about the game! Everything from her view about other girls to how she was the cutest baby in the world. I would guess she was pretty sober as well.. I'd HATE to see her inebriated. Enter manager..or who appeared to be the manger. He was awesome. Told her to pipe down and then pointed to the kids in the room. I really appreciated that! Will I return? Yes. Do I hope girlfriend isn't there, just hanging out, legs stretched over a bar stool like a lounge chair in mega amp yelling mode? YES. read more

This is one of those times where I wish I didn't have to give a set rating. The food was decent, yet my chances of coming back here rely only on if I'm stumbling out of a 6th & Main bar during the wee hours of a weekend night and need a quick bite. So what do I give them? For NY-style pizza, I'm partial to Guido's, probably one of the best (if not THE best) restaurants in town to fuse quality with affordability. But I was curious to try out some new competition for them in downtown, in the location previously occupied by Chronic Tacos. And based on the pizza I had at Wiseguy, it's actually solid competition. Certainly better than what I've had at Piehole-- the dough and ingredients taste fresher. It's up there with Guido's, but Guido's is cheaper. Wiseguy and Guido's are so close together that a more able-bodied person should be able to literally crawl between the two places. If their intentions to set up shop so close to Guido's were to tackle Guido's head on, then they've failed with me. I noticed that their pies are bigger and cheaper than what they offer at their Sun Valley locations, and it's a better deal pricewise and qualitywise than the outlandishly-priced pizza places in town like New York Richie's and Lulu's. But you're still looking at paying $4 more for a 20" pepperoni than Guido's, and Guido's 18" cheese is only $.50 more than Wiseguy's 14" cheese. So what exactly is my incentive for ditching Guido's? There isn't any for me, but there are some differences worth mentioning. --Unlike Guido's, they do deliver. --They stay open until 3:00 AM on Fridays and Saturdays to offer an option for the 6th & Main drunkards. --The menu is a little more expansive with calzones, sandwiches, buffalo wings, and more salad options. --Beer on tap. --Credit cards accepted. (Update: Guido's accepts cards now, so scratch that off of the list) Despite the differences, it all boils down to the pizza for me, and that's where they lose out. I haven't had much success with calzones in town, so I wanted to try theirs. It only comes in one size. It tasted good, with the dough having the same freshness as their pizza. But this was the thinnest, dinkiest calzone I've ever ordered from a restaurant. It might feed a person or two with minimal appetites, but I think it deserves to be under their appetizer menu instead. It definitely did not cure my hunger. They tried to be cute/creative by forming the dough around the accompanying cup of marinara, but I would've preferred more sustenance instead of leaving a hole in the middle of my calzone. If they ever offer a larger option and don't mark up the price too steeply, I would be willing to give it another go. The quality IS there, but comparatively speaking the value is not. If they want to take a look at Guido's pricing and match, then that would make for an interesting battle. Otherwise this place is completely superfluous for me unless I want a slice at 2 AM. read more

Wiseguy Pizza Pie - Their calzone. Good, but sized more like an appetizer than a meal. The thinnest calzone I've ever come across at a restaurant. - Pizza Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This is one of my favorites in Boise the crust isn't bland like most pizza downtown and it's never been soggy or cold when delivered... the staff is always welcoming and patient. Also, they deliver to Prefunk and my other favorite downtown place won't so now I only go here for my pizza needs! Side note... as a New Yorker it's humorous that people from here believe guidos even compares to wiseguys... worst pizza I've had in Boise to date is from guidos. I even went back to give them another try after my can of sauce on dry unseasoned bread and Sysco brand cheese and it was even worse. Papa johns makes a better pizza then them, don't be fooled by the "New York style pizza" claim it ain't even close to New York. Stick with Wiseguys they make a wonderful pie!!!! read more

I was simply not impressed. My dad, brother and I ordered a pick up of a large fat guy and a large Greek and I was disappointed, especially after a pretty good experience at the Ketchum location. The service was fine for take out but I could get a better pizza at Pizza Hut. Nothing tasted bad, in fact it barely tasted at all. I don't care for meat on my pizza but there were so few toppings on the fat guy that it didn't even phase me. Same deal with the Greek. In fact I brought half of the large Greek pizza home and forgot about it; and let me tell you I am not the kind of girl to forget about a pizza. It wasn't awful but also not stunning. You probably won't die if you eat here but you probably won't be that stoked either. read more

Was really excited when I read awhile back that Wiseguy Pizza was opening in Boise because A) we were moving to Boise B) We loved Wiseguy so much up in Ketchum. JP already made 2 visits to Wiseguy Boise while I was still in Seattle and gave it a thumbs up so imagine my disappointment when we went Monday night for pizza and a beer. It wasn't at all what I remember loving in Ketchum. We ordered a house salad and the Fun Guy. Salad was fine but the pizza was mediocre at best. The sauce tasted a bit on the sugary/sweet side and the crust was a bit soggy towards the bottom of the slices. I ended up adding salt to my pizza and I never do that. Beer selection is decent although I was surprised that they still had the Ninkasi Spring Reign in 22oz bottles since it is a seasonal. Not busy enough to sell out of a seasonal beer? I hope that isn't the case because I do want to give these guys another try especially since I was such a big fan of theirs in Ketchum. Perhaps the key is to do a long mountain bike ride and then show up for grub. Maybe that's what made me love the SV location so much. Location is central on Main Street and they have plenty of indoor/outdoor seating (although the al fresco dining is adjacent to a parking lot). With so many pizza places in Boise these guys need to step it up a bit. And I really hope they do. read more

Excellent food and unbeatable service! I drive in from Denver. Realizing I would be 5 minutes past I was nervous, but knowing not much would be open past 10 on a weekday I thought it worth a call to see if they would make me a pizza if I could pick it up late. The friendly hostess on the phone told me that it would be no trouble at all. Took my order and payment info. That pizza was FANTASTIC! Thanks Wise Guys! I'll be back through next time in town. Hopefully earlier read more

Best pizza in Boise Idaho!! I recommend if you been drinking some beer and you're craving some good ass pizza come to Wiseguys.. read more

Wiseguy Pizza Pie - Yummy - Pizza Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This pizza was quite tasty, and substantially better than the other 'by the slice' competitor in town. I tried 3 different varieties, all of which were delicious. My girlfriend and I went on what appeared to be a calmer afternoon. They only drawback to this place, is that for 3 pieces at 11.00 (close to a full pizza), a little bit more freshness could be reasonably expected. Most of the pizzas looked like they had been waiting on the racks for quite some time. Perhaps this problem could be remedied by coming at a busier time, but fresh pizza should not be unreasonable at such a price. Overall, still tasted great, outdoor seating was nice, and staff was friendly, just wish they did not overstock so heavily on the pizza which then results in so many pies left to dry in the air. read more

My second favorite place for pizza! WiseGuy offers super thin super crispy crusts with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. I typically go for plain or pepperoni. I love the outdoor space here and the service. If you like NY style pizza, stop on by!!! read more

Wiseguy Pizza Pie - Garlic KNOTS! - Pizza Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Wiseguys is one of my favorite places in all of the Valley! I've been eating here since 2014! One time my kids got trapped in the elevator in the building and they helped us all. They guys and gals are great and always have new beers for us to try! Wish I didn't have to drive all the way from Kuna! read more

The pizza was very bland and tasteless and didn't compare well to the competition in the area. The place was not very clean or kept up. We were overall unimpressed. read more

Thin crust New York style pizza. I've had it all 3 ways. Dine in, take out, and delivery. I only recommend it for dine in. So thin that the pizza is really good when it first comes out and only fair when it cools down. Sounds weird but hopefully makes sense. I bit on the experience side of pizza places as well. Need to try the garlic knots. read more

I was visiting family over Easter weekend in Boise and we decided to walk downtown and see what we could find. I had my three kids and wife with me. They are all 11 or under, so our options can be limited at times. We decided to try Wise Guys Pizza. The atmosphere is hipsterish, but spacious. They offer many different pies, but we went with the usual pepperoni. My wife got a salad. Best part was 1$ Raniers and Pabsts. Hey also had other craft brews on tap. The pizza was decent. My wife loves the salad, it was packed with feta. The pizza was a thin slice, the crust was mostly crispy. The sauce was a little bland though. It arrived quickly however, so that was a plus with the kids. I heard some people talking about the lunch special that comes with a free beer. Decent price, seemed like a good place to hang out and have some beer and pizza. We only tried pepperoni though, so keep that in mind. My wife thought it was pretty tasty. Seemed to be a good place to go with kids. Staff was relaxed and friendly. read more

I have had their Pizza multiple times and it is always good. I have ventured out and tried their unique pizza offerings - not all of them were my favorite tasting slices but they were always high quality slices. Then I branched out and had their Philly Sandwich - it is pretty freaking good! It always hurts to pay $9+ for a sandwich but after adding peppers and mushrooms I am never disappointed. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good slice, nice people, or a solid sandwich accompanied with a beer. read more

Wiseguys is the correct name...the staff was rude and short tempered with customers. Pizza had good flavor, but was cold and over cooked. Find a better option. read more

Wise Guys is my go-to pizza joint! The dough is thin, sweet, and delectable! The red sauce is savory and delicious. The toppings are fresh, fun and creative! I really enjoy sitting out on the patio, there are plenty of tables. I have tried a different pizza every time I go back and it's never a let down. If you are seeking a pizza joint, Wise Guys is the place to go! read more

Great big slice of lovely pizza. Clean and great with quick and easy service. With local IPA's. It was awesome read more

Love this place. Had to review them again. Wings are the secret favorite menu item of my choice. Have them overcook them and tell them JC style You have to try the Bayonne as well. Another favorite. Tons of great craft beers on tap. i watched the Stanley Cup Finals here as I was in from NYC on business. I can honestly say these guys know pizza and beer. But they really know Wings!!!!!!! Owner Ryan knows his hockey. We had a few beers with he and his girlfriend (MaKensie) and they felt like old friends......... The outside deck is incredible place to hang, drink beer and people watch..... read more

Overall was a good experience. We went into the front and no one was there until we walked into the back. No big deal. Service was ok, forgot to ask for drinks or offer silverware. Food was good, we had pizza and buffalo wings. Pizza was filling but not in a gross greasy way. read more

Best pizza joint in Boise! Don't forget about the back room. Multiple slices of delicious pizza. read more

Stopped for a quick pie and some beer before a Boise State game and was blown away. The pizza was one of the top 10 that I have ever had. The toppings were all delicious and tasted extremely fresh. And the crust was sooo good. In a city apparently filled with great pizza, be sure to check this place out. We had it yesterday and I would definitely go back again today. read more

their pizza is for me dough is tasty cooked just right for me crispy yet not over cooked sauce is so good toppings r fresh and abundant i use to work at a pizza place learned how to make it all and throw my pie in the air! loved the whole experience!!! wise guys deliver in their own truck and r fast!!!! just love it love it love it read more

Perfectly delicious thin crust pizza. It was exactly what my wife and I were craving. The crust was still crispy upon delivery and the sauce was awesome. I liked the online ordering system. I will definately get delivery from them again or stumble into the shop when I'm downtown. YUMMM... read more

the pizza wasn't that good. mainly the sauce had a cheap taste that was quite over powering. the vibe of the restaurant as a whole seemed very 2014 brewery. good for what it is but if you're wanting good pizza go anywhere else. read more

Really good pizzza no issues at all my favorite in the city. Reasonable prices. Perfect amount of sauce, perfect crust, everything I look forward to in a pizza read more

Great beer selection and good pizza by the slice. Their Metro pizza is definitely my favorite with Sriracha rubbed chicken and lemon peals. It's only available by the slice on Friday though which is sad :(. They also do a jalapeño Hawaiian which is awesome. All around a good place to grab a slice. They only get four stars though because their pizza doesn't have that addictive Crack quality to it that is necessary for a 5 star pizza joint. read more

Like every sane person in the world, I love pizza. Could eat it daily. But on the hierarchy of pizza joints, wise guys doesn't even come close to the top 10 list. On another note, the wings make up for the lack of flair for the pizza. Wings, yes. Pizza, no. read more

The service is surprisingly good for a pizza place like this. The pie is there with the best of Boise's New York style.

Went here for lunch, very tasty and the price point is right on.They didn't use a lot of sauce, thank you for that. You could taste the basil in the sauce, which I appreciate. The outside patio is very nice, especially during the beautiful summer days in Boise. I will be back. read more

Great location, superb pizza slice and great ice tea. Friendly staff. The outdoor seating is refreshing.

I love wise guy! I came here one late night and there was a girl Natosha working and she was very knowledgable about the menu and very nice! I got the metro guy pizza and it was amazing! I'm always so happy when I come here. You can order by the slice or a whole pizza and they'll deliver too! I would recommend it! read more

Recently moved to Boise from the East Coast so I know what good pizza tastes like. I gotta say, this is one of closest to true New York style pizza I've had since being here. The dough is crispy on the outside and not greasy and mushy like some other places in the area. Pizza by the slice is available and they have a really good priced lunch special. We also love our buffalo wings on the East Coast, which apparently is not a big deal out here. They have the best wings I've had since being here. I've been on a quest to find good wings and so far they are my favorite. The buffalo flavor is hot, but not too hot, the wings are pretty big, and they're crispy on the outside. They don't taste as artificial and massed produced as Buffalo Wild Wings. The blue cheese is good too. Could use more crumbles in my opinion. All in all, I will definitely be back to Wise Guys and I've already recommended it to people! read more

Good lunch deal ($3.75 for a slice and soda or $6 for 2 slices). Had about 6 different pizzas to choose from. Yummy, thin crust!

I was lucky enough to stop by Wiseguy while on a weekend trip to Boise, and what a pleasant surprise. The building is cool and unique, the food and beer was delicious (great wings), and the staff was fantastic. I would love to visit again and have another slice of that White Trash Guy pizza! read more

Had to cut back visits the menu is so good! From the slices and the calzones to the salads and the staff everything and everyone was great. My fav in Idaho. Ps forgot to put my parking pass on our vehicle and server noticed this so he ran it out there and threw it on windshield for us!!! Unheard of nowadays!! read more

Love the options and the veggie is great! Friendly staff and a fun environment! Great patio for warmer days!

Wonderful pizza (I got the Greek anti-pizza). Wonderful beers on tap and in bottles. My wife got the gluten free pizza and she said it was the best gluten free crust she had ever tasted and she has tasted many. read more
