Iconic AK pizza place. If you want really good pizza and a selection of out of the ordinary pizza topping options, then definitely give this place a try. If you are just looking for fast, cheap pizza to satisfy the kids with an easy dinner go with any of the chains (pizza hut, dominos, or little ceasars) because Moose’s Tooth is more expensive. But the pizza is worth it. On tap growlers including great Root Beer is also available.

Try the Bacon Jam Burger! Kids welcome. Sometimes have a live band on weekends. A bit pricier. The Bacon Jam Burger runs about $16. Keeping in mind Alaska prices are higher to begin with.
