EDIT- upped to five stars because I tried the pizza. Moose's Tooth who???? Also - the gochujang wings were excellent. Not too spicy!! Best chicken wing I've ever had. Yes, I got wings at a wood fire pizza place - and boy, am I glad I did. We did the garlic Parmesan and the sweet heat wings. I don't know what magic they do to get the skin so crispy and bubbly, but I'm happy they figured it out! It's like popcorn, so light and airy. And even sauced, the crispy texture didn't end! We took half our wings home to Anchorage and even after the microwave a few hours later - still crispy. We also shared a Greek salad that was delicious, fully loaded, and so big we both ate off it and still had leftovers!!! read more

Love the food and drinks at BearPaw, especially the kombucha. But today the customer service from the lady at the counter was very unfriendly and rude. When I said thank you for the pizza dough, her response was "yep". read more

Driving around all day and it was starting to get late....and we were getting hungry! We asked a local at one of the museums where he loved to eat and he recommended this place. We told him that we just wanted good food with a chill, laid-back vibe where we could just eat and hang without being pressured to leave quickly. We stopped by and it was busy. Parking is right in the front and lots of spaces available. There was indoor and outdoor tables and luckily we found a booth. The menu is simple and straight forward. You place your order first and then take a seat. My friend and I decided to share a pizza, we couldn't decide and we got half and half, Pear bacon bleu and Greek. I also ordered a ginger ale. So I don't know why my friend decided to share a pizza with me, maybe we were both tired, or she was sooo hungry that she couldn't make any other choice but it was surprising because pizza is not really her thing. When we were ordering, I didn't think anything of it, but as we were eating and basically almost done she said, "You know what, I would come back and have their pizza, that was the best pizza ever!!" No argument from me...both half of the pizzas were so good. It was the right combo. The pear bacon bleu was almost like a dessert pizza but still very savory with the bacon bits. We were both hungry and the pizza size was perfect and filled us both. I never did ask, but do they make their own ginger ale? It didn't taste like any other of the Ginger ales that I've had in other places. This was flavorful and very carbonated. The whole meal was perfect! Wood fired pizzas are something special since not a lot of places make pizzas this way but even better when done right. I highly recommend this place! read more

Here I am once again! Ugh so good! Ordered the supreme pizza, cheesy bread and an apple cider that had a liking to angry orchard. The pizza and cheesy bread were divine! This time they had a country guitarist playing love music and it was lovely! The staff was friendly and easy going as usual and the prices are always great! read more

The pizza was awesome and man the ranch was absolutely great. We go to a lot of breweries and the IPAs are subpar. The pizza party was delicious. The atmosphere here was also very nice and had a great environment. One of the better breweries in Alaska. read more

Great food, Great service, comfortable dining experience. Atmosphere could have used different music, and possibly a video screen....but overall nice. read more

Nice little place that makes brick oven style modern crafty pizzas. The pizza is delicious-and so is the dark winter ale. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for something down home, and different. Young service lady at counter came off a little pretentious and snotty; but the guys cooking the pizza were very helpful in taking my order and making me feel welcomed. The restaurant business is tough, and a lot of it depends on the service and your staff. Most of the staff seemed happy, courteous and friendly with some exceptions. I look forward to trying some of their other brick oven style craft pizzas. Once I ordered my dark winter ale, and an oven-fired chicken, bacon and ranch pizza, it only took a few minutes to receive my food. The gentleman working the pizza oven was very good when it comes to etiquette and customer service. Give him a big pat-on-the-back! read more

Definitely the best beer and wood fired pizza in the Matsu Valley. It's a "humdinger" of a brewery. read more

Thanks Yelp!!! We were driving back from Denali and needed to grab a bite before getting back to Anchorage. Cool vibe, great food, and friendly service. I had the grapefruit seltzer and it was refreshing. Kiddos had the home-brewed root beer with great salads and pizza. Gluten free was even an option!!! read more

Beer was ok but pizza was greasy salty and 2/3rds uncovered. Dough was under baked and pretty awful.

Great brick oven Pizza and craft beer. Interesting and different pizza toppings. Overall awesome place.

When you drive up to this building you are immediately impressed with the structure it is a gorgeous building with very distinguished lights letting you know you have arrived at your destination. I so meant to take a picture but I was trying to rush in since I was a little cold. As you walk in there is a sign to go to the left to order pretty clear instructions to me! We went to the counter looked at the menu ordered our pizza then started looking at the vast amounts of beer choices on tap, they also have kombucha is you choose. We decided on the double Frontiersman and boy that is a winner in our book. Unfortunately yesterday they didn't have any to purchase in cans to go But they had a heck of a deal on a case of the original Frontierman for 16 oz can for a case was $25 you can't beat that price anywhere!! Costco sells a 4 pack for $8.79 I believe so their price at the brewery is smoking hot! I see a run again out there before Christmas for a couple Gifts!! The food was incredible but as it arrived we were chatting so much and hungry I totally forgot to take pictures. I almost went to ask others if I could take pictures of their food but thought that's kinda rude. The salads I saw come out were Beautiful so the next time I'm definitely getting one to share they were huge!! We will definitely make this place a stopping point in the valley and to top it off the service was a 10/10 and you can't find that all the time!! Keep up your great food service and hospitality! read more

This spot has been a longtime favorite of mine, and for good reason. Their wood-fired pizzas are consistently excellent, with that perfectly blistered, chewy crust and topping combos that feel both comforting and inventive. Add in their lineup of carefully crafted beers, and it's easy to see why I keep coming back, year after year. What really sets this place apart, though, is their commitment to creativity. They don't just stick to the hits. They're always experimenting, trying out fresh flavor ideas and rotating in new combinations on their seasonal fresh sheet. Whether you're craving your usual favorite or in the mood to be surprised, they've got you covered. Most recently, they rolled out a new trial run of chicken wings, and WOW. We tried the mango habanero and the sweet-heat flavors, and both completely exceeded expectations. These aren't your typical bar wings. The breading was light, crisp, and full of flavor, not greasy or heavy, and had this surprisingly delightful texture that almost reminded me of popcorn (in the best, most craveable way). The wings themselves were tender and juicy, and the heat level was just right: bold enough to wake up your tastebuds but not so hot you can't enjoy your beer. Speaking of which, their beer selection continues to impress. It is a perfect pairing for whatever you're eating, whether it's pizza, wings, or both (no judgment). The vibe here is always great, too. They have big windows, an airy garage door that rolls up on nice days, outdoor seating, and live music most summer weekends. Service is always great too. It's the kind of place that feels like the heart of the community, where good food, good beer, and creative energy come together. If you haven't been in a while, go. And if you're torn between ordering wings or pizza... well, that's the kind of dilemma I'm happy to have! read more

We came in for brunch. Service was fast, food was good and the atmosphere really nice. They have outdoor seating, high chairs and booths. There's lots of parking too. The pizza dough is really great, soft and tasty. Both bagel sandwiches, pizza and beermosas were great. read more

Service and food was amazing! We ordered buffalo wings and a salad. Nice atmosphere to sit inside or out.

Everything we ate at the place was exceptional, as was their service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend friends and family. We enjoyed it so much that I'm writing this review before we even left! If you're on the hunt for a good pizza, salad, and/or beer this place won't disappoint! read more

Yo! This pizza is tasty! Maybe the best in the valley. Definitely the most unique. The downside is the beer selection. Bearpaw has a ton of really tasty beers at their other location. But here, they only have 4 1/2. How do they have half a beer? One is simply the imperial version of another. The service is super friendly, the space is well designed and comfy and they have merchandise to purchase. They also have canned beer. We had the meat lovers and the pear bacon bleu pizzas. The pear pizza was very solid. I was a little nervous about the honey. But it was perfect. Heavy enough to taste, but light enough it didn't overpower. The menu is pretty limited. About 12-15 pizzas and 3 salads. When the Frontiersman wrote a paper on them, they mentioned a more diverse menu including pub fare. If they had a burger and fries/tots and maybe some appetizers, this place would probably be in the top three establishments in the valley. And maybe a few more beer choices. It IS a brewery. read more

After a morning of being a tourist and learning the art of dogsledding in Willow, we were feeling a bit famished. A cold beer and some pizza sounded like the perfect meal. I love Bearpaw River beer, but hadn't had a chance to visit the brewery in person. I was stoked to find that it was located on our path back to Anchorage. I ordered a flight of beer and we sampled several of the pizzas. Wow, they were all delicious! The wood fired pizzas were cooked perfectly and beer was on point, as usual. The staff as great! All super friendly and had great recommendations on what to try. The building looked new and was well layer out. Lots of seating and a great vibe. Can't wait to go back! read more

The ambiance was nice, especially on a nice day, but we didn't have the most welcoming service here. The pizza was okay. The Caesar salad was a large portion, but the flavor wasn't there. I can vouch for the frontiersman IPA though! read more

It's an industrial style brewing company Pizza joint. But the pizza is artisan. It is so wonderful and if it just so happens to be subpar they will make it fresh right in front of you to make up for it the service is absolutely phenomenal! I have not once, not ever been disappointed. Tonight my server was Rachel when I called they were outlandishly busy but when I got there it was so chill and she took such good care of me I was just so grateful for such incredible service they are so friendly it's a nice place to chill it really is. And the little glasses make your man's hands look oh so mighty! LOL highly highly highly recommend the pear bacon blue pizza or one of their absolutely majestic looking salads! read more

We love this place! The outdoor seating adds a great touch and beers are served quick (definitely becomes my favorite when beers are quick)! We ordered the flight and I will dreadfully admit this..I am not an IPA woman! I know I suck..I can't get with the hype. But I love more like reds, blondes, that shade of beer. I really enjoyed the Red Sky. There's other tasty options but that one stood out more to muah. I will admit a bandwagon I did jump and get on board with...fruit w/ strong flavored cheese type pizzas! I fell in love with the fig pizza at spenard roadhouse, so I gave it a shot and ordered the pear, blue cheese and bacon..............Holy Shhhh! Yup I'm definitely a fan of fruit on pizza and seriously if you are thinking, " I bet she loves pineapple on pizza or 'Hawaiian pizza'" NO I DONT! I still don't like the idea of pineapple on pizza! Other than that, love love love this place! Very casual and great for groups. I wish they served beer at the tables but all good..we need the exercise to the front for more beer. read more

Bearpaw River Brewing opened this location in addition to their other locations, and I'm soooo happy they did! This location serves amazing pizza, salads in addition to their craft sodas and beers! My husband and I had a perfect date night here the other night and were thoroughly impressed with the food. I can confidently say that this is hands down the best pizza in Wasilla and we will be back again, and again! We tried three pizzas because we couldn't decide: The chicken bacon ranch special, the pear and blue cheese, and the sausage and potato. All soo good! My husband didn't think we could eat all of it but we did - no regrets! read more
