Moose’s Tooth Pub and Pizzeria in Alaska is, hands down, one of the best in the entire nation. In fact, it is said to be the highest-grossing single-unit independent pizzeria in the country, with annual sales estimated around six million dollars. Whether you have stopped in once while you were visiting the last frontier, or this is your local hot spot where you regularly meet with friends and family, we already know that you are fully aware of what exactly all the buzz is about. Be sure of this; when you see the line winding out the door and into the parking lot, trust that it is for a very good reason.
This sign from the road might look pretty standard and unassuming, but what's inside will completely blow you away. Located right on the side of the Seward Highway, this is an easy restaurant to find.
Located conveniently in midtown Anchorage inside of Alaska's largest city, Moose's Tooth Pub and Pizzeria is what's at the top of every locals' restaurant list. It’s the best place to hit when the craving for pizza arrives!
The exterior of the building is nicely constructed, and there’s two patio areas. One is a fenced in waiting area where you can bring your alcoholic beverages out while you wait for a table, and warm up by their impressive fireplace. There’s also a covered patio accessible only through the host stand in the front.
From the fun and quirky decor to the wildly enthusiastic and entertaining staff, everything about this place is awesome - and that is before we even get on the topic of the amazing food. This place has the best pizza in Alaska!
So what is all the fuss about? Well, there are so many things. First of all, the creative food and gourmet pizzas are out of this world. The cool psychedelic art on the wall and the laid back vibe that you get inside makes you feel right at home. That is, if you lived in the coolest house on the block with parents that let you do basically whatever you wanted.
For the most creative, gourmet pizza in Anchorage - Moose's Tooth is where you need to be. Stop in for lunch or dinner and grab a flavor packed pizza to share with a friend, your sweetheart or order a few and bring the whole family out to celebrate. They are also one of the most popular carryout restaurants in Alaska.
It gets better... with monthly specials! Let's all just agree to agree that any restaurant that actually takes the time to update monthly specials on the homepage of their website has GOT to mean some serious business. Moose's Tooth kills it every single time with their creative specials. This month they have a Sweet & Spicy Hula Hog pizza, California Dream pizza, Mt. McKinley Cobb Salad, a Pumpkin Spice Cake and even a Cheesecake of the Month. Is your mouth watering already? We know, ours is too!
All of the fresh, yummy salads are another reason to keep coming back for more. If you aren't quite in the mood to pack a mean carb-filled punch, keep it light and healthy and go with a fresh salad with your choice of dressing. Need a recommendation? Sorry, we can't help. Everything is SO DAMN GOOD. Every single thing.
From homemade dessert specials that pack a flavorful explosion inside your mouth to cheesecake specials of the month, Moose's Tooth owns the dessert category without any debate whatsoever.
And once you eat, we have a feeling that you will be preparing to quench your thirst that follows shortly thereafter. At Moose's Tooth, you are always in luck!
Pick up a growler from Broken Tooth Brewing (formerly Moose's Tooth Brewing Company), get one of the many flavors on tap, have a nice glass of wine or keep things non-alcoholic with the limited beverage menu that includes options like milk, tea, coffee, soda and a small variety of juices.
But wait; there's more! Check out Bear Tooth Grill and Theatrepub just a couple miles away. This awesome spot is great for a super affordable, wildly delicious and quick lunch. Or you can grab a brew and enjoy a movie in the evening. Bring a date or take your bromance to the next level by treating that special someone to the classiest establishment in town. Moose Tooth and Bear Tooth are some of the best local restaurants in Alaska!
Perhaps something that everyone in the Anchorage Bowl (and beyond) looks forward to is '1st Tap'. On the first Thursday of each month they unveil the featured beer of the month and celebrate with their First Tap Concert Series. Tickets tend to sell out quickly so do your research and be prepared in advance to wait in line. Hint: it's ALWAYS worth it! The best days of the year are when we can hit up a summer concert at Moose Tooth!
