LOCALLY
    LOVED PIZZA
    Why we can’t get enough of Biga Pizza.

    If someone says “pizza” and you ask “cheese or
    pepperoni?” then you clearly haven’t been to
    Biga Pizza. Sure, you can grab a classic cheese
    pizza from Biga (and it will be delicious, no
    doubt), but you can also bite into a slice fresh
    out of the brick oven, covered in house-made
    fennel marmalade, locally sourced bacon,
    melted gouda—should we keep going? You get
    the point.

    The owner, Bob Marshall, has been living in
    Missoula since 1990 and running Biga for over
    a decade now. It all started when, as Bob told
    us, “The stars aligned at just the right moment
    15 years ago, when we had a 1-year-old and
    were expecting our second child. There was an
    existing pizzeria for sale, and I recognized the
    potential.” He jokingly added, “My wife and
    I had, up until then, been working for other
    people and decided, ‘Why not open a restaurant
    with life already super busy?’”

    Life would only get busier as Biga gained
    recognition and, consequently, a devoted
    following of pizza lovers. The difference is in
    the ingredients, the creativity and the care.
    “Local ingredients are harvested at their prime
    and won’t sit on a truck or at a warehouse for
    long amounts of time. Plus, purchasing locally
    infuses revenue into our local economy… When
    we created (and evolved) our menu, we chose
    ingredients from the palate of available local
    goods.” Their menu continues to keep us on
    our feet, as Biga changes its offerings with each
    passing season and new local crop. So, if their
    iconic Flathead Cherry Pizza isn’t on the menu,         BEST PIZZA IN
    that’s because the ingredients aren’t in season.
    And if it is available, then order up, because it’s
                                                            EVERY STATE:
    perhaps one of the most creatively delicious            MONTANA,
    pizzas you’ve ever tried.
                                                            BIGA PIZZA
    Bob’s devotion to local ingredients means
                                                            Food & Wine, 2021

nurtures a tight-knit connection with his community. “I love this community, and
I’m grateful to be part of the food culture here. Sharing our vision with Missoulians
and visitors gives me the same feeling as going to someone's grandmother’s house
and smelling fresh-baked pie on the porch, a lasting memory that resonates forever.
We now employ almost 50 people, as we have added a second kitchen and delivery
services, and I’m proud to help literally and figuratively put food on people's table.”

You can find Biga Pizza serving up fresh salads, sandwiches and pizzas in downtown
Missoula, conveniently located next door to Cranky Sam Public House. If you truly
want to eat (and drink) like a local while visiting, you can’t beat Biga.

SOME REALLY
    GOOD CHICKEN
    Savor the perfect chicken sandwich
    at M-80.

    Missoula’s food scene grows more diverse
    (and delicious) with each passing year, and
    that goes for our community of food trucks,
    too. A number of these new mobile eateries
    popped up in 2020, and one that’s gaining
    traction quickly is M-80 Chicken.

    M-80 was the product of a few things—community support, COVID-19 hardships
    and a passion for fried chicken. The owner, Nick Jackson, made Missoula home
    eight years ago and attended the University of Montana, but it wasn’t until after
    graduation that he found his love for Southern food. “My band, Newlyweds, went
    on tour right after college and we ended up spending a lot of time in the South. I fell
    in love with the food and couldn’t get it out of my head.” After returning home and
    seeing a shortage of fried chicken, he began experimenting with new recipes himself.
    In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, he turned bad news into a new opportunity
    and changed the course of his career path. “When COVID hit, I got laid off from my
    office job and decided to pivot to something I really cared about. I wanted to fill a
    gap in the Missoula food scene, and be involved with this community that I love so
    much.” And with that, M-80 was born.

    Nick is currently living in downtown Missoula with his fiancée, McKenna, their two
    black cats and a new puppy, and he gets to run his own business and make delicious
    fried chicken full time. When it comes to their menu, they keep it simple and do it
    right. “With M-80 Chicken, what you see is what you get. We don’t claim to be the
    fanciest meal in town, but we serve up some really good chicken that people love. I
    spend a lot of long hours in that truck making sure everything is up to our standards,
    and everyone gets quality chicken.”

    Aside from cooking great food, Nick loves the community aspect of owning a food
    truck in Missoula. From fellow business owners to repeat customers, Nick told
    us, “We’ve felt supported from Day One and we hope to pay that back as much as
    possible.” That sense of local pride is evident as soon as you make it to their order
    window, where tourists and locals alike are greeted like friends. “We like to get to
    know our customers, and we want them to feel like they know us. When you come
    to M-80, you know you’re going to see me, have a good time hanging out in line and
    walk away with some really good chicken.”

    M-80 can usually be spotted outside of KettleHouse Brewing near Missoula’s Hip
    Strip, and their signature “hot sando” pairs perfectly with a cold pint. And just as
    much as you’ll enjoy the chicken, you’ll love supporting these friendly, talented and
    resilient Missoula locals.

MADE IN MISSOULA:

     ARTHUR WAYNE
     HOT SAUCE
     Visitors and locals alike seek out the
     iconic “Made in Montana” tag, and for
     good reason: Montanans are skilled
     artisans, especially when it comes to
     food. One such product that has become
     a staple in the Missoula community is
     Arthur Wayne’s hot sauces.

     Arthur Wayne is originally from Northern
     California, but he moved to Missoula in
     2009 for a change of pace. “I just decided
     that I was over city life [in California]. And so we came out here and started a new
     life.” He studied nutrition and kinesiology in school with the goal of practicing
     sports medicine, though he also dreamed of owning his own business. As he started
     a family and put his career in sports medicine on hold, Arthur stumbled upon a
     different dream of creating natural hot sauce products. He never sought out to
     create a hot sauce business—it happened organically in his home kitchen one day as
     he was making breakfast and searching through his fridge for the right condiment.
     “I stood there, and I took them all out and started looking at the ingredients and
     thought, ‘I can make something just for fun. Let’s try it.’”

     Growing up in a Mexican American family with wonderful cooking by his mother
     and grandmother inspired Arthur Wayne’s recipes for his hot sauces, and Missoula’s
     love for all things local gave him the push he needed. “Here in Missoula, people are
     all about local. Everyone gets excited about this wonderful cheese from this one
     farm and all these wonderful products made in Montana, and that inspired me.
     The community inspired me. Living here for a couple of years and having already
     a background in making hot sauce for myself, a lot of my new-found friends told
     me, ‘Wow, you really need to do this.’ It was more of the community and my friends
     pushing me to release my sauces, and just the warm feeling from people that made
     me feel like it was okay [to go for it]. I never thought that I would make hot sauce for
     a living. It was just a hobby. But as more and more people responded to my sauce, I
     woke up one morning and knew that this is what I needed to do.”

     Making hot sauce for friends evolved into a stand at the farmers market, and
     from there Arthur Wayne Hot Sauces just continued to grow. You can now find his
     all-natural hot sauces in countless stores across Missoula and throughout the state,
     along with sauces and dried goods available online in case you forget to stock up
     before leaving town. If you can’t enjoy Missoula’s local cuisine all year long, Arthur
     Wayne’s hot sauces offer the perfect way to keep it spicy and support local from afar.

     MISSOULA’S MOBILE
     FOOD SCENE
     Your guide to food truck fare.

     Food trucks are a key feature to Missoula’s food scene, and the variety is seemingly
     endless. Thai food, barbecue, Arabian cuisine, ice cream—you name it. Some food
     trucks are recurring staples outside of local breweries and tap houses, while others
     pop up for events like Out to Lunch and Downtown ToNight in Caras Park. These
     mobile restaurants keep us on our feet as we chase our favorites throughout town,
     and the food tastes that much better when you track them down.

     Get a sneak peek of local food trucks you might see around town
     by visiting destinationmissoula.org/blog/food-trucks, and see
     how many you can sample during your stay!
