This is one busy place!! We sat at the bar and ordered Raspberry beer and amazing apricot pizza. Freaking amazing!!!

This place offers such a great selection of pizza toppings that I'll need to go back here many times to explore. Based on quality, I'd say this place is priced decently. They don't balk at doing a half and half on the large pizzas, which is what I'd recommend. The small pizza is too small to enjoy a full complement of toppings. I've tried four topping combinations so far: classic, solstice, brewhouse, and gyro and that is also my order of preference. I wouldn't order the gyro again. This place deserves to be as popular as it is. Just keep in mind the restaurant is very busy, so eat early! read more

Best pizza I have found yet. Great food, great service. What restaurants in Anchorage lack in terribly. Love the Bear Tooth also. (same company) Enjoy!! read more

Best pizza in Alaska. Probably 45 other states too. lol

The salads are wonderfully creative. Fresh and creative. And the dressings are perfect. And the small salads are huge. Mooses Tooth pizza is consistently delicious. Jessie M was our server and she was fantastic. read more

We went here on our last visit to Anchorage, AK and we're glad that we decided to come early because by the time we finished eating the line was literally out the door. We had 7 people in our group and and all of us ordered a different small pizza for maximum variety (you're able to split a pizza into two different kinds if you want). All were delicious. Service was good, especially given how busy the restaurant was. Definitely worth a visit, but come early unless you want to wait for a table. read more

This is the best pizza we have had. We had a large half and half with a backpacker, and Santa's little helper. The large pizza was a LARGE pizza they definitely do not short you on size. The atmosphere is nice and cozy. Everything on the pizza as far as texture, taste, and presentation was beautifully done. definitely will be coming back when we visit Anchorage again. Our server, Seth, was very helpful and on top of it. Definitely recommend to everyone. read more

Yummy breadsticks and pizza. It's a good place to go! Good beer. There are better places. Ask for the yummy sauce that goes with the cheesy bread sticks. It's even better on the pizza. I think is chipotle ranch. It's da bomb read more

The Best Pizza in Anchorage.I love the chicken ranch pizza and there wings are the best I have ever had. The food always looks good and tastes delicious. read more

I came in at 9:00 on a Saturday and was seated right away. The beer was delicious. They subbed out sauce for half of my pizza which was nice. I got half Santa's Little Helper with bbq sauce, and half Lu-wow. Both halves were so delicious! This place definitely lives up to the hype. read more

We ordered a half All-American and half Santas Little Helper and a Bear Tooth Ale. The thin crust medium was plenty for the two of us. It was very good and I don't believe the quality of food has changed a bit since we visited last about 16 years ago. They have great pizzas here. Great customer service! read more

We were recommend this place by our B&B hostess......so glad we listened to her. We had a truly wonderful pizza here. We got a medium BBQ chicken, it was perfect for us to share for lunch & we then finished it off latter in the day while on a pleasant drive out to the Knick river. We had intentions of returning before we left Anchorage, as their menu is so extensive, but we ran out of time. Next time Mose's Tooth, next time!! read more

Negative - I was not informed that the moose pie I ordered was a frozen treat. 4 hours later, I opened to find a pile of moose mush, not moose pie. Positive - it was still really good. read more

**** 1/2. Traveling with a bunch of Hawaii teachers, we searched for the best Anchorage could offer. One of the most popular hang outs for food and beer in Anchorage is Moose's Tooth. According to TripAdvisor, it is the #3 best pizza place in the nation! OK, IF you are a New Yorker, rest assured, I think your pizzas are safe (#1 and #2 are from NY) but this place is a different kind of good. While NY makes the simple special, Moose's Tooth prides itself on the complexity. With exotic names like Solstice, Santa's Little Helper, Avalanche, and Gyro, there is a never ending plethora of flavors. From the tangy BBQ sauces to the cool tzatziki sauce on the the Gyro, it was a creative and flavorful. I love the fact that there is tender slices of chicken rather than those pre-frozen blocks you get from even the most popular places. I have to say my favorite was the Gyro. I know that sounds weird but it was really good. It tasted like a Gyro, with the slices of meat, cool Tzatziki sauce, and veggies. Almost everyone said that was their favorite on our table. Ok, The only knock I have is the crust. Having a wife from NY, she kind of made me a NY pizza snob. The crust is like a soft, warm bread. I know a lot of people like it that way but I like mine a little crispier and thinner. That's just me. The beer here is amazing. Everyone loved it here. I am not a beer guy and I loved it here. All the beer guys with me ordered the beer I ordered, the Apple ale. That night we tried about 15 different beers and the Apple Ale was the best. I loved it! It was subtly sweet but not overpowering like a hard cider. The locals told us that the wait here is 45min-1hr. I think we got really lucky because we got seated in 15 mins. The off duty waiter helped us with the menu while we were waiting and the service was excellent. I can see why everyone loves going here. Highly Recommended. read more

Can I bring this restaurant back to Texas with me?! This spot offers a ton of different pizzas. We ordered the Amazing Apricot - blackened chicken, cream cheese, apricot sauce, red peppers, carrot threads, green onions, cilantro, mozzarella & provolone - as well as the Pesto Chicken - roasted chicken, roma tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, mozzarella, provolone & pesto. As soon as I read the word apricot I knew that I had to get it! This was a really interesting blend of ingredients but the apricot sauce, cream cheese and red peppers really, really complimented each other! The slight crunch from the carrots was the perfect addition to this pizza. The amazing apricot was five stars all around! The pesto chicken pizza was great as well! If I have time to visit again before I leave I would definitely get the amazing apricot again. We also ordered the chicken wings appetizer. These were hot and cooked to be nice and crispy on the outside and covered with sauce, sesame seeds and scallions! You get a lot of wings for the price too! Moose's tooth carries a ton of local beers and they have a sampler for about $5 if you can't decide which beer to try! Just a great restaurant. It's obviously an Anchorage favorite, there was a bit of a wait to be seated (especially for a Wednesday) but it is all worth it! You can muse over the food and beer menus (and drool) until it's time to order! read more

See all

This is a VERY popular place as we had to wait about 20 minutes to get in. The noise is a bit over average as would be expected with a very full restaurant. BUT its about the food and beer right! I ordered a beer and it was one of the flavors brewed on site and it was very good. It was also VERY small! In my life I have never seen such a small beer glass! It cost $4.50 and I don'y know how many ounces the glas was but I would guess maybe 5 or 6 oz. It looked like a large shot glass. The pizza was normal sized and good. No complaints with the pizza; better than most but not the best I have ever had. Will I be back? Probably not. read more

Is it meet and good for a pizza to contain red sauce? White sauce? Pesto sauce? New York or Chicago style? Thin or thick crust? Stuffed? Fresh or roasted garlic? Can you add meatballs? Fried eggplant? Carrots? Chicken wings? Is it acceptable to eat pizza whose crust has been stuffed with meats, cheeses, or some beastly amalgam of the two? More to the point: is it really possible to find world-class pizza in a grim metropolis at the edge of the planet that looks like it was abandoned by the Soviets at the end of the Great Patriotic War? Is it worth making the bewildering hairpin turn off of the Seward Highway, navigating the hive of angry metal hornets that is the parking lot, and waiting close to the lifespan of the average housefly just to get said pizza? Does pizza reliably taste better when a wind like the gelid breath of Cocytus itself is blasting off of Cook Inlet and the windows display only an inky subarctic waste that you know could rip the flesh off your frozen bones? To all of the above, my answers would be: 'yes,' 'sure,' 'no,' 'who cares,' 'thick,' 'no,' 'roasted,' 'yes,' 'no,' 'decidedly not,' 'you can't be serious,' 'only if you are on your fourth domestic lager of the evening,' 'yes,' 'definitely,' and 'come on up in January and see for yourself, you weak-willed cheechako.' I would bet good money (or bad money, take your pick) that you're probably reading reviews of The Moose's Tooth because you're visiting Anchorage (or planning to do so) and are wondering whether there's anything worth eating / drinking there beyond the bars that look like military bunkers, the strip-mall Thai places, and the Cold War-era diners that you just *know*, despite having only glanced at the plasticine sign, pride themselves on their Salisbury steak. Well, here's the simple answer for you: congratulations, Yelp User #n+1, you've found the best restaurant in Anchorage! The Moose's Tooth has honed the art of pizza-making to a razor's edge that could dissect an origami swan. The pizzas fire on all cylinders--a solid sauce that's tangy yet never overused, nice smear of cheese, a miraculous crust that's buttery and substantial while avoiding the gummy doughiness of the slippery 'deep-dish' slope. It's a solid foundation that the toppings merrily build a teetering ziggurat of flavor atop--not just your typical sausage-pepperoni-olives-tomato roulette, but more daring ingredients: gyro meat and tzatziki, cilantro and chipotle steak, carrots with Thai peanut sauce. Many accolades for being able to google the place and shrewdly deduce from the amount of illuminated square stars that this is excellent food. Your reward is waiting for a million billion hours in order to get a pizza. Let's say, though, that you're a local who's already familiar with the place and are looking it up in hopes that the Internet hive-mind will allow you to peek beneath a previously ignored rock to discover another fragment of the strange life that lurks underneath, or you're one of the lost souls, neither a local or a visitor, idly drifting through webspace in search of some new room to haunt. In that case: I would say that the real virtue of the Moose's Tooth is not the pizza (though it's good pizza) or the beer (though it's good beer). The real pleasure is in spending a few hours at the place, tossing back a few slices and more than a few pints and emerging, pleasantly full and pretty buzzed, into the July (or June or even August) evening, watching the sun, still not near setting, on the mountains to the east, taking in the sound of the freeway, the smell of the fireweed, and the redolent air. Or, in the dead of winter, stumbling into the place out of a storm fit to send Satan crying back to mommy and, with your toes numb and your nose dripping, suddenly being accosted by the warm odors of yeast, tomatoes, and sausage, sent to a table, and served a beer the color of old leather. Coming out and going in--the joy here is not in the juicy center of the place (food, drinks) but on the margins. And here you are on the ragged margin of civilization itself, the uttermost edge of the world, so to speak, so the only thing to do is accept it. Have yourself a slice. read more

Delicious food and such wonderful, personable wait staff. I was dining alone, so my server actually sat down across from me and chatted about my beer options (I'm not really a beer fan), then brought me a couple tasters so I would know for sure if I wanted a full glass. You can tell from the other guests in the restaurant that this is a local favorite, and I can see why. High five, Moose's Tooth!! read more

Great pizza and home draft root beer! A must stop if you are visiting Anchorage.

Maybe the best place in Anchorage to get your pizza fix, this place does a very robust business. Call ahead for take-out. If you're eating in, make reservations or be prepared to wait. Can be kind of noisy and chaotic, but the pizza is worth it. read more

This is a super popular place about a mile from downtown on Old Seward and 33rd. Pizza and Beer dominate the menu, with over 30 pizzas to choose from, plus you can make your own combos. Our group of 6 split 3: a large (18 inch) Solstice, which had sun-dried tomatoes, roasted chicken, portabello mushroom, fresh parmesan, basil, mozzarella, provolone, garlic and lemon ($23.50); a large Classic meat, which included pepperoni, italian sausage, mushrooms, mozzarella, provolone and marinara ($19.50); and a medium (14 inch) Pesto Supreme, including sundried tomatoes, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, provolone, feta, and pesto ($21.95). All were very good, with medium thin crusts with a little bit of puff on the edges. There are 10 salads, plus soups, sandwiches, and appetizers, They had a bevy of beers to choose from, pale ales, IPA, goldens, wheats, etc. All the beers were great, too. This is a large place, with dozens of tables. The wait in summer around 7 - 8 pm can be long, as there were about 60 people waiting to be seated at that time, They use the Outback Steakhouse/Elephant Bar type LED Buzzer to let you know when your table is ready, since you might be outside or in the waiting pen where you can enjoy your first brew while in queue. Service is good and helpful with selection choices in pizza and beer. read more

Moose's Tooth - Pizza Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

So good. This is terrific pizza, as good as any I have ever had. The place was packed at 12:30 or so on a Tuesday, but the wait was short. Our server was quick, efficient, and friendly. Our order was prompt. The beer selection was great, starring local brews. When we got our pizza it was exactly as ordered, the crust was delicious and the toppings were generous. It was very flavorful. We had a great experience. Easy to find for the travelers as well. Top notch. read more

This is the best pizza and microbrewery. Wish they had a location in CA. A little while ago My friend and I flew here from Ca just for some pizza and beer. Well we did work for a airline at the time. Next time I'm in Anchorage I will be back! read more

Great pizza. Glad we picked it! It was one of the best places I've eaten in a long time.

On a recent trip to Alaska I had one thing on my must-do list: check out Moose's Tooth. Between rave reviews on Yelp as well as my family that lives in Anchorage, I knew I had to try it and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Yes, there is a huge wait. That's okay, even if they quote you about 45 minutes, it's probably closer to 30. They do a good job of turning around tables (although as a diner you never feel rushed) and a wait time gives you ample time to review the huge menu and have a beer or two. Once seated, we started with chips, salsa, and guac. That may seem like an odd thing to order at a pizza place, but the chips were pipping hot from the fryer, the guac was perfection, and the salsa had just a tiny kick. 4 of us decided to order 1 small chicken parm pizza and 1 large pizza, half All-American and half Santa's Little Helper. They somehow mixed up our order on the large pizza and gave us half All-American and half High Protein Land. We had zero problems with that as we contemplated High Protein Land but our server rushed an order for a medium Santa's Little Helper to compensate. She was so apologetic about it but it really wasn't a big deal. All the pizzas were delicious and an insanely large amount for 4 people to share. One large would have been more than sufficient. Leftovers galore! If you're in the State of Alaska you owe it to yourself to check out Moose's Tooth! It's some of the friendliest service and best pizza! Great beer too. read more

this place has great pizza and salad the ranch salad and asian salad are very good i recommend them to anyone. The wait for this place is usually an hour to two hours long. read more

An old time favorite. Been coming here since before they had the extension added and that was years ago. Always busy so we don't go as often but when we do, try to do so at off peak hours. The salads are fresh and generous. My favorite is their Asian Salad but I prefer the soy ginger dressing with it. I also love their Hungarian mushroom soup. Consistently prepared deliciously. Their pizzas are my favorite, especially the Thai and Gyros pizzas. Santa's helper is also a family favorite. Have had at least 3/4 of what is on the menu. Desserts are good but specials for it are hit or miss. Fun atmosphere, just very busy. Servers are friendly. The beer is also very good. Hard Apple Ale is a favorite and worth a try if you like ciders. I like that you can buy samples and try as many as you want. JUST TRY IT! read more

Great pizza and fabulous brew!! The ambiance is great, too. The addition is laid out well and- in spite of a waiting line most evenings- the noise levels are nice. My only issue is that the staff is quick to turn tables. There's a lot of customers and the can't have loiterers1 read more

The best pizza in world! I spent the last 20 years in the Air Force and have travelled all over the world. This is the best pizza I have ever had. While I do love authentic pizza in Italy, I would choose MT over it. Not only is the pizza great, the price is reasonable. We never spend more than $50 for our family of 4 read more

Pizza is good, but other than that I don't see what the big fuss is about. Being from California, I'm used to seeing busy restaurants/bars but Moose's Tooth is just ridiculous. Not only that, but their employees are so rude. It's like they think that because their pizza is good, they don't have to give anyone hospitality. Honestly, when I have to wait an hour and a half to be seated, I would hope that the employees have a sense of urgency to make the customer feel like their needs are being attended to, instead of just gossiping behind the counter. Just saying. read more

I was not expecting to like Moose's Tooth pizza. It breaks many of the rules of great pizza. For example, they use cornmeal on the bottom of the crust. But the pizza is good! We got meatballs on the pizza based on the recommendations of a local. Excellent. Good pizza, good service. I like it. read more

Good brewpub, although I didn't try the food. The beer sample was a good price, unlike the beer at the snow goose. The Moonflower ESB was one of the better beers I had while I was in Alaska, although I'm biased toward ESBs. Not all of the beers were winners for me, but that's how samplers work. They were all well-made so I'd definitely go back again and try more if given the chance. read more

Quality ingredients and toppings! By far the best pizza in Anchorage! I love the veggie pizza! It has artichoke hearts and garlic cloves!

This pizza is good but the staff is so incredibly rude. One time they sat us in a booth and not one person came to our table for 25 minutes. We ended up just leaving. I can't support a business that treats they're customers and "less than" read more

While visiting Anchorage the Moose's Tooth was on my list of places to eat at since the reviews were so good. Maybe something is wrong with us but it was terrible. We ordered the chips and salsa before our pizza since that also seemed a MUST try. It was all good but nothing to write home about. Our pizza dough was way underdone, super doughy :( flavors were good but again, nothing special at all. This place is HUGE and our wait was 45 minutes. TONS of people there. I was really gettin excited by the crowd and the amount of people willing to wait for their pizza. I LOVE PIZZA so I was willing also, but not worth it. Maybe we had a really unique experience, hopefully soggy pizza crust isn't the norm read more

As Good as it Gets--- Vacationing in Anchorage and picked this place out of the blue. When we got there, the parking lot was near full and we were told it would be a 45 minute wait. However, the wait was only about 30 minutes and the food was well worth it. Daniel and his fellow servers equally wonderful as well. The best surprise was the number of porters and stouts on tap for us dark beer fans. Definitely a place to put on the list of Class A places to frequent read more

Okay, so this isn't a popular opinion...but here goes... I think Moose's Tooth is overrated. Sure, the pizza is good...but given the high prices, noisy and chaotic environment, inconsistent service, difficulty finding a parking space, and HUGE wait times...it doesn't seem worth the trouble. Now if someone showed up with a carry-out pizza, I'd certainly have some...but, unless that's the case... I avoid the place for the above reasons. read more

Everything is great here. Sit at the bar if you're solo or just a couple, no wait. Lunch special of slice and salad under $10 is the way to go! read more

I'm not exactly sure why this place is busy...but it's ALWAYS busy! Not to say that their food isn't good, because it is really good! Don't ever come here thinking that you're not going to wait cause I've never gotten seated under 30 minutes, and Moose's Tooth is a decent sized place. Please don't think I'm complaining - not only do I come here for the pizza, I come here for the hard apple ale which is probably the best I've ever tasted. Genius. Drink a lot of beer while you're waiting to get seated and it makes the pizza 10x better than it already is. My favorite pizza would have to be the chicken with garlic and spinach - just thinking about it makes me salivate! And if you're not in the mood for pizza, they've also got excellent salads. I'd say that going to Moose's Tooth is a MUST when I'm in town. read more

Wow! This must be the happiest place in Anchorage. Being on lists as the best pizza in Anchorage does not hurt the Moose's Tooth a bit. Instead of dealing with the large crown, a take-out pizza was ordered. From what I saw, the ambiance is great. As for the pizza, it is quite delicious. $20 for a medium specialty. read more
