some kinda wacky cheese pizza with Bleu cheese, really delish!
Joy L.

Ok, so... it had been a long enough time since the last time we had been here that my husband and I had forgotten that we had vowed never to return. Additionally, it seems the owners have followed my advice and opened an additional location across town called Eye Tooth to help address some of the customer volume. We had company from out of town and were excited to share this Anchorage gem with them. I remember when I moved here 15 years ago and was introduced to this magical pizza by the doctors I work with. On busy days they would order a crap load of variety from Mooses Tooth and shower the staff with a buffet of amazing options. The range of variety is wild, and the execution was wonderful. But over the years the quality and reliability of the pizza has declined significantly. And once again, on our most recent visit we were disappointed. We were seated more promptly that unusual, and the food came faster than in recent years. But the execution was lacking. Our apricot pizza was 100% missing the apricot jam. Ive had this pizza countless times. It was totally missing. It was dry as the dessert. Tf? And the Thai pizza, while the pb wasn't missing, it was skimpy as heck. Also pretty darn dry. My husband's weirdo meat pizza with mushrooms was fine, but he just didnt like it, as I expected. If he had gotten the carnivore as I suggested, he at least would have been happy. Oh well. The only thing the family liked was their dessert except for me. I got one of their monthly specials and it was an abomination - looked fine, tasted atrocious. Chefs, please remember to taste what your making. FFS. I'm out and done with this place. Bear Tooth has my loyalty now solely bc of the odd little Theater, which is truly a gem. But management really needs to address the declining pizza quality, sincerely a long time Yelp reviewer of 18 years, and previous fan and advocate for your unusual pizzas.

Marga Margherita (Medium) Wild Mushroom (Medium)
Samantha G.

Really great pizza place! Our favorite was the wild mushroom but the other pizzas were good as well (Thai and margarita). There is a long line but it's worth the wait since the pizza is fantastic.

What another incredible experience from start to finish! This place absolutely exceeded my expectations once again! The pizza was hands down one of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked with fresh, high-quality ingredients and amazing flavor in every bite. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. The beer selection was just as impressive, with plenty of great options that paired perfectly with the pizza. Whether you're a craft beer lover or just looking to enjoy a cold drink with your meal, you won't be disappointed. What really made this visit special was the customer service. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed happy to make sure we had a great experience. It's rare to find service this outstanding these days. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and inviting--perfect for a casual dinner with friends or family. As a bonus, they even have a fun little souvenir corner where you can pick up shirts, hats, stickers, and other keepsakes to remember your visit. This is much more than just a pizza place--it's an experience. Amazing food, fantastic beer, outstanding customer service, and a great environment. I can't wait to come back, and I'll definitely be recommending this place to everyone I know!

Really really thin and sparse on the sauce
Loren R.

Usually I love it here. But today maybe it's because they were busy? It was the service. Slow , very slow. Food great. But.... Some pizza was hot, some cold No silverware to eat with Couldn't find any silverware to help ourselves to We had to chase down the waiter to get some

We were told by a Massachusetts friend to try this spot, so we were excited and ready for a great meal. Unfortunately, we ran into a few issues during our visit. The wait was fairly long, but honestly, we didn't mind that part. Upon being seated, however, we immediately noticed that the table was incredibly small. I was trying to balance my bag and camera on what felt like a toothpick sized doll table! But seriously, we travel a lot, and I've never had to sit at such a tiny table. It made the experience feel very cramped and uncomfortable. Our waitress also seemed to disappear for long stretches. The soda pitcher had no ice, and there wasn't any ice in our glasses either, which felt like the bare minimum when you're paying for expensive nonalcoholic drinks. We ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer, and they weren't bad, pretty standard. For our main course, we had a gluten free pizza. It was good, but nothing particularly special. I also wish they had been a little more generous with the chicken toppings. Overall, I can't really recommend dining in here. Maybe it was just an off night, but when we're having a night out, we don't want to feel like we're sitting at a kids' table in the middle of the room. If you want to give this place a try, I'd recommend ordering your pizza to go instead.

I'm from New York and wow this was incredible pizza! If you want something comforting and good this is a great place to go to. Service was great, the plates and water were ready for us when we sat down. All of it was delicious.

Simply the best pizza in Anchorage. ‍ Highly recommend ordering larger pies and splitting 1/2-1/2 toppings if you're a group of folks who want different things. My go to is the Jalapeño Business / veggie delight. This place is busy no matter what time and day you come, so prepare to wait if you hit peak hours. But on the upside - the beers are great too and fast to arrive, so you won't be thirsty while waiting. Noise level is usually low for being so busy, but it may depend on where you end up getting seated. Nice airy feel to the place, decorated in a style that I guess can only be described as...Alaskan? ‍ And yes, even if you stay downtown the drive over here is worth it.

Berry Me In The Sunshine & Margarita
Dustin C.

Definitely worth the hype! Friendly fast service, delicious food and drinks, and reasonably priced! The Berry Me In The Sunshine Cocktail and classic Margarita were both refreshing. The Mozzarella Bread Sticks were amazing and generously portioned. The Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding was the perfect end to a dinner as it was served warm with the right amount of sweetness. We loved how extensive their pizza menu was and thought The Napoleon was the best but honestly can't go wrong with any of them as their crust was perfect and not greasy at all. Only thing I will say to keep in mind is the parking, as it can get pretty full with how busy they get!

Let me start out by saying I usually Like Moose's Tooth. It's typically good and somewhere I tell people they should try while in Anchorage. After this experience I'm done recommending it. They really missed the mark. For starters we got my husband's usual Chipotle steak pizza. Right off the bat I notice it's a weird oval kind of shape. It's not a circle and the pieces don't add up. I'm positive that the someone in the kitchen sliced out the middle the pizza and put it in the box like it wouldn't be noticed. Worst of all. I ordered a pound of their Korean style wings. I usually love these. I thought initially that these are so tiny it's a good thing it's by the weight, not quantity. Well. These were not fit for consumption. I managed to eat two wings that were on the crunchy side. The rest were unfit for consumption. We're talking chicken wing jerky. A bite cracks right through the bone, crunchy marrow, dry translucent meat. What a disappointment. This wouldn't even be something you could feed a dog. So bad. This experience was the worst I've had with Moose's Tooth. It was so disappointing and also weird. Do better.

Kanani M.

They weren't joking. Best pizza or at least top ten pizza places EVER. Very pizza parlor vibe with an alternative twist. Upbeat, clean and high energy. Staff is quick, courteous and effective. Service isn't stuffy and it isn't lacking. You get what you need and they care about that but they aren't kissing your butt through the experience. Just what you would expect and want from a pizza joint. Food - delicious. ALL IF IT. The appetizers, the salads and the pizza. We will definitely stop here any time we want pizza and are in the Anchorage area. Just fabulous. Extra points for the charitable work it seems they participate in. (Posters for events - both profit & non profits- are hung throughout the store).

Solstice (Small) Chicken, Santa's Little Helper (Small) Meat, The Napoleon (Small) Meat, Cowboy (Small).
Brooklyn G.

Waitress was super friendly and helpful, gave good recommendations and was honest about what she hadn't tried :). The place was nicely lit and full of conversation, lots of interesting things to look at. The desserts were both amazing!! The Napoleon was great, very fresh tasting. The cowboy was also super good, that one is seasonal though. The solstice was kind of too much mushroom for me. The Santa's little helper was also alright, I'd rank it 3rd best :)

Jim W.

Great time at Moose Tooth. We stopped in early and had no wait. The vibe is pure Alaska, great spot to bring visiting family:) Our server was super friendly and guided us through the drink selection. Best draft root beer ever! Had the carnivore pizza which was great. Love the crust, and the toppings were plentiful and really tasty.

Expedition personal pizza (small)
Ryan Z.

This review is for takeout only, and updating my previous 3 star review. We ordered buffalo chicken salad, spicy breadsticks, and carnivore pizza. The buffalo chicken salad (large) was no joke, big enough for 2+ people with leftovers. It included a massive portion of chicken with the salad, and tasted great. The small would actually be an ambitious meal for one person. The breadsticks were very tasty as well, obviously not needed with the large portion of the meals. I wasn't impressed with the carnivore pizza, however. It was on the bland side, but my kiddo sure enjoyed it. Side note: was supposed to receive a text when the food was ready, and it never came even though they had my correct number, so don't wait for a notification to grab your food!

Is ut a guarantee to see a moose?

I would never say never 😉

Do they deliver?

No, the don't, pick up and dine in only

Would there generally be a wait for two people on a weekday around 2:00?

Probably not. We went on a Wednesday night around 5:30pm and there was no wait. It's a big place.

Do they have TVs for sports?

No they do not

Welp, you're in Alaska

Is there a full bar? I don't drink beer. Also are there only IPAs on the menu?

They do not serve liquor, but they do serve wine in addition to about 20 beers on tap. There are a wide variety of beers other then IPA's.

How many people can 1 large pizza feed?

I would say 3 or so.

Are they open during winter?

They are! You can have Moose's Tooth pizza year round

Can you make reservations?

No. Also when you show up with a larger party they will not seat you until 1/2 the party is there. Great place and worth the wait. Waiting can be 2+ hours but it was also rated 3rd best pizza in the USA.

I was really excited to hear about the opening of The Rail and couldn't wait to check it out. The indoor seating was smaller than I expected, but the interior design is even nicer than the restaurant and has a very relaxing feel. As for the beer, I have no complaints at all. Their beer is still some of my favorite to this day. I honestly wish they could somehow sell it in other states so I could grab some whenever I feel homesick. I also feel like this space has a lot of potential for small gatherings, farmers markets, block parties, or even little concerts. We'll see what they do with it over time. Overall, I'm so glad to see this business continue to thrive throughout the years.

They have two apps, some sweet treats and some sandwiches made on flatbread. We got the sandwich with fried tofu and it was just ok. The soft pretzel was pretty good, the cheese just ok. Don't remember if it's the same pretzel as the other 49th restaurant or not. The beer list is expansive, with beers 49th state brewing is testing out, no beers from other breweries. They have a QR code to scan to see the list and they project it on the wall. We got flights to try different beers. They had a few chocolate and coffee stouts. I tried the Mexican stout and it did not have any hint of cinnamon in it like was described. Also tried the apple cider donut beer. The more I drank it the more overly sweet it was. Happy to try different beers and we enjoyed the atmosphere. The guy working, I think his name was Richard. He was great taking care of everyone and being the only one to hold down the entire room. Great place if you want to try some beers and dont want to deal with the hustle and bustle of 49th state brewing up the road.

We started eating within 2-3 minutes of walking out the door, but it was practically inedible.The fish and fries were incredibly laden with oil; just heavy, greasy, and completely unseasoned. Ratio of breading to fish was 50/50, so you get a little gipped on the actual fish. Everything desperately needed salt at minimum. To make matters worse, they send it with their berry tartar sauce, which is an absolute crime in all 50 states. We specifically requested regular tartar sauce and were given plain mayonnaise instead. None of our other requested condiments, like ketchup, were supplied either. Service for the limited time I interacted with her, was average. She was easy going, but not particularly warm or engaging. While the portions were fine, $35 for a meal that we tossed out after 2-3 bites is incredibly frustrating. I hate wasting money and fresh seafood, but it was just that bad.

A good beer for sure and is a good pairing with fish and chips or a burger. Flavor highlights with this beer are sweet, strong and fruity but all in a well balanced way.
