As a first time visitor to Juneau, I had to try this restaurant as it came highly recommended. We went on a Sunday evening around 8:30, and it was packed though the wait was short. Our party of three was first seated at a table in the bar for two though there were 4-tops available. They did allow us to move when we requested it though. Once seated at an appropriate sized table for our party, we perused the menu and made decisions. Our server was slow and not very present in the dining room. We ordered our create-your-own pizza and the spanakopita appetizer. The app was okay--nothing special. The cucumber dill dipping sauce was awesome, though. It was the redeeming quality of the app. When our pizza arrived, it seemed skimpy on toppings. Maybe it's just the style of pizza, but there should be more than 7 jalapeño slices on a 14" pie. The flavor was fantastic and I really enjoyed the crust. It was crusty on the outside and chewy inside--just about perfect. We asked for some ranch dipping sauce which wasn't delivered until we had nearly finished the meal. We sure got charged $2.50 for it though. All in all, the food was average and the service left a lot to be desired. Take out is probably the best option here if you're going to choose Island Pub at all. read more

Good location and good atmosphere but the menu is over priced and limited. I've eaten here several times, and as a vegetarian I've always been hard pressed to find a pizza that has an value without the meat. Since moving to Juneau I learned that my body is now lactose intolerant. I've had a lot of fun creating my own pizzas with healthy ingredients from Fred Meyers or Safeway, but recently I was visiting an elderly friend who lives in the neighborhood and was craving pizza, so I stop in and ask for a cheese-less veggie pizza. They tried to charge me $25 for an okay pie with an odd assortment of veggies. After complaining about how unfair I felt their pricing was, they adjusted the price, and had the nerve to tell me that with my dietary restrictions I shouldn't be asking for pizza anyway. If that's how they want to run their business, fine by me. Legitimately a two star establishment. read more

clean, warm, inviting, fantastic! beautiful salads. fresh, cold, and not a hunk of ice berg lettuce... yummy chicken skewer apps, all zesty and delicious... best pizza ive found in Alaska to date...... drinks you say? yummy mojitos, and something else tropical and pink that went down way toooo fast... service a bit lacking, but it WAS saturday night... a bit expensive like EVERYTHING in southeast Alaska. is $100 for a pizza for 2 people with apps, drinks and tip not alot of cash anymore? still, I really like this place. next time, its carry out! read more

Love the island pub! I can always count on their salmon spread with pizza skins. I am in love with their wildebeest pizza and their caprice salad! I always ask for the dressing on the side with extra balsamic reduction on the side. the staff is incredible most days (everyone has bad days). I love coming here. When I can decide where to eat, I come here because it hits the spot! read more

Just had an amazing pizza from this place! I ordered The Don and loved it! I also recommend the hawaiian and the four little piglets. Very good pizza and they are big enough as well! read more

Great, thin crust pizza, can't go wrong with any of the specials. The salmon dip is a definite must, best salmon dip in town. Good local beers on tap. read more

Great pizza place on Douglas island. It's a bit of a distance from the cruise ships so it tends to have a good balance if locals. It has several great beers on tap. Pizzas have a great crunchy crusty and the menu is filled with unique combinations. My husband and I ordered the pork-a-pine pizza and ended up consuming an entire medium sized pizza before we knew what happened read more

I love the island pub! Delicious food, specialty food, you can't find anywhere else. Ask for a table facing the channel, it's such a good view. You can even see treadwell/sandy beach here. The staff will even turn the tv channel if you ask to watch something else. Super polite staff, fresh made food. You won't regret dining here. read more

Best pizza I have ever had and incredible smoked salmon dip. No tourist here and everyone knows each person that walked through the door. Give yourself a true Alaskan treat and find a way to get dinner at this place. Awesome read more

I've been to The Island Pub a couple times now and always great, delicious food and good service. Waiters always seem nice. This last time everything was good and all, but when we got our water, there was lipstick on the glass. The waiter asked what we liked to drink and we told her about it. She apologized and went to go get our drinks and replace the glass. But when she brought us our drinks there was more lipstick on that glass as well. Great food, good service, great view, and everything was clean, just a couple of lipstick stained glasses. read more

Thought it was ok. Not the best pizza but not the worst. They do charge extra for ranch, pizza sauce, etc when ordering bread sticks. Didn't make sense to me but ok. Nice view of the water. read more

Excellent food, always consistent. But the service is terrible. Staff is there to socialize, not work. They hang at the bar and don't refill drinks or check on you. When they are busy the staff tends to get especially stressed and will snap at you. And they rarely smile. Things are better when the owner is there though. Hope your experience is better than my last 3 visits. Disappointed as I love the food and prices are great but they need some staff training. read more

Island Pub has been rejuvenated a new life and busy with customers after an extreme makeover when it was Mike's, way past its prime and no customers. Now it's a lively, trendy pub with pricey, tasty treats to eat. read more

We had to get on a bus to get here from where our cruise ship docked in July of this year. It was totally worth it! The service was excellent, the workers were friendly, the food was outstanding (we had pizza--half with meat and half without), and the beer tasted SO good after our bus ride adventure! read more

I think its the best pizza in town. I love the vibe of this place... Lots of Beers on tap, great pizza and sandwiches

A hit and a miss at the Island Pub. Lunch was terrific - turkey and smoked gouda sandwich with sun-dried cranberries, red onion, bacon and a chipotle mayo served with a side of orzo salad - way above what I expect from a pub. The take-out pizza that I had, on the other hand, was a bit of disappointment. It should have been good but they were pretty skimpy with the toppings and, having read all the reviews, I was disappointed. Who knows, maybe it was an off-night. Service was good and they have great selection of beers on tap. read more

Pizza: great. Drinks: great. Bartender: awesome!! I'd recommend going just to meet Israel. He's a great bartender!!!

Best Pub in town by far. Jump across the bridge to Douglas from downtown Juneau and enjoy the classier more local side of Juneau. Great pizza and steak sandwiches. Get the "Slice of Heaven" with jalapenos and the alfredo sauce or make your own with great ingredients. The bleu cheese steak sandwich and cheese platter is amazing. Great local beers on tap, live music, the best pizza in town, and a great staff will make you fall in love with this place. Wish they had this in San Diego. read more

Good recipes but has the same fault that all the Juneau restaurants have: the same low quality cooks. Sometimes the pizza is good, sometimes it is meh. Service is good if you are the only person there, but as soon as they get busy it really falls apart. Recently went there for lunch, arrived before the rush, and we were still sitting around waiting for our food an hour later. Kitchen had screwed up the orders, they didn't comp our drinks, gave us a lousy 1 dollar off each order, and when they finally delivered the food in the to-go containers, the server was holding the bags at a slant and everything got mixed up and fell apart. Most of my sandwich's contents had fallen out, the orzo pasta (what little they gave me) was spread all over, and the bread was soggy. If I'm in the mood to waste my time and money, I'll go back to the Island pub. read more

Great pizza, plenty of variety making for unique pizza experience. The crust is thin and crispy the toppings not over done but flavorful. Even the appetizers are yummy. About 5 or 6 beers on tap to enjoy. Popular hangout for locals, this place gets packed at dinner time. About 3 TV's to watch sports. Pick a table or huddle up to the bar. Good atmosphere, comfortable to go there with friends or on your own. read more

Oh Island Pub, how I love thee. Let me recount the ways... Smoked salmon spread, garlic oil and parmesan pizza skins, salad, pizza, and free seltzer with lime! I love their island blue salad with steak but I do have a few bones to pick about it. I suggest that they use big bleu cheese chunks (like at the Hangar) instead of the weird "bleu cheese vinaigrette" that makes it more like a Caesar salad. This strange dressing tastes to me like they just put balsamic vinegar in bleu cheese dressing. I also suggest that they use Granny Smith apples instead of whatever green apples they are using that do not provide enough bite and acidity to offset the cloyingness of their "vinaigrette". They are totally lost in the salad and they really should shine! Also the last time I got a VERY small and chewy steak portion and for an EXTRA $9 it should have been much better. The walnuts should also be toasted before candying, but I like the very light candy taste they have instead of the overly sweet ones often found on salads in restaurants today. Oh and because it is so loud here once the waitress had a very hard time hearing me in the loud environment and she brought me the standard steak salad, which isn't near as good. (Update: I had this salad again last night and it had some chunked bleu cheese, bright granny smith apple, and this time the steak portion was more typical. Cooked near perfectly but lacked seasoning. I added some and I *never* reach for the salt shaker. The walnuts are still raw.) ALWAYS order an appetizer right away or you just may starve to death waiting for the pizza. But if you order the right ones, it is very worth the wait. (Update: I have been in here twice more recently and the place was EMPTY so the wait was much more manageable even with takeout orders going.) Their pizzas are great, though my partner says he hates them the second day so you have to eat them fresh. I am normally a purist when it comes to pizza and I don't like weird combinations that are not Italian. However, I was talked into trying the four little pigs and now it is one of my favorites! It is a little bit spicy and a very interesting barbecue that just works. The Wildebeeste and Slice of Heaven ROCK. (Listen up, Pizzeria Roma, THIS is how you do raw garlic on a pizza!) There are numerous other pizzas on their menu that I had an opportunity to try at a party when we ordered several different varieties. They were all great. Except don't bother with the Tuscany, Don, or Porkapine, which are all mediocre. Speaking of cons, skip the cheese plate. It is very small piece of ONE type of cheese--that they probably bought at Costco for less than $8/pound--on a plate of various fruits and nuts. The fruits are all mediocre or poor quality. Parking sucks when it's busy. They need to stripe their lot. Plan to park up the street and walk down on a Friday or Saturday night, or any night after a softball or hockey game nearby. (Update: we were there again last night. Knowing the normal wait for food, we immediately ordered sodas and an appetizer. It was busy but not full, with probably 10-15% empty tables and at least 4 wait staff and 2 bar tenders that seemed to be moving leisurely. We didn't order our main food until our server returned 15 minutes later. Apparently because we didn't order alcohol she abandoned us almost immediately. We had to flag down other servers for water and STILL wait. Our appetizer never came and one of our boys noticed that 3 were up, unserved, while the waitresses chatted with the cooks for several minutes. The waitress finally brought our main dishes and said the appetizer would be right up. We canceled it as we only ordered it to stave off starvation during their long delivery period. Food was terrific, though the boys were not enthused by the orzo with their Italian BLTs. My steak salad was much better, as previously described. We had to ask for drink refills more than once but only got them when we were almost done with our meal. The waitress actually said, "Sorry, I'm really busy". One tap for seltzer was fine but the other still tastes like mold and mildew (which I mentioned to the waitress when I paid the bill). When it was time to pay she actually brought me a credit slip to sign for only the canceled appetizer and not the whole meal, even though the original bill was correct. Being honest I flagged her down and explained that we owed more than $11. Then she said it wouldn't void so she "wrote [her] name on it" and brought me another slip for the whole meal now short by the amount of the appetizer, which was not on the meal bill in the first place. It was hard enough to get her attention when she was serving us before we cashed out and then again when the charge slip was wrong. I gave up. We were a $90 four top (before tip) and that's nothing to sneeze at but her poor service cut my normally very generous tip by more than half. read more

As a pizza lover, the Island Pub hands-down wins the best pizza in Juneau award. Their thin crust pizza is consistently good and in my opinion, rivals established thin crust pizza joints down south. Crunchy crust, lots of flavor! I love their Pork-a-Pine pizza which has sausage, pepperoni, sun dried tomatos, and onions on it as well as their pesto based version with similar ingredients. The beer selection is pretty good as well. They carry Alaskan based beer outside of the ones brewed in Juneau on tap which I think is pretty cool and their cocktails are also very good. The one caveat is the price point. Gourmet pizzas are typically $20 a pop but that being said, one consistently high quality and delicious pizza that offer ample portions for 2 pizza loving fools with big appetites - can't complain here. read more

My husband and I used to love eating here. The food was great, the service excellent and the view is amazing! Then we began to feel that everything was seasoned with the same spices. We continued to eat here--it's so close to home! But tonight we had it. The service was slow, the steak salad salad dish was horrible. The amount of steak had been cut in half and the lettuce wasn't as fresh as it should be and the blue cheese was barely there. Seems instead of trying to change up the menu choices they've decided to cut back on the amount of food. We won't be going back. They are so many new wonderful restaurants downtown now--no need to waste our time on this place. read more

The Island pub is a great place to get together with friends. They offer a good variety on the menu and the food is delicious.

The food is outstanding. The 4 little pigs pizza and the pizza skins are to die for. However, both times I've been there the service is extremely slow. read more

Great food. Definetly worth stopping! A little slow on the service but had a good time.

I love love love their food. There is no other place in Juneau with the same food (a major plus). They serve the best pizza's that you can customize in any which way. They have a pizza contest every year so the pizza specials are courtesy of the locals- what a great way to get and keep the community interested! They do have a view but it's nothing special and shouldn't be the reason you want to go here! The waiters are very nice and always have a smile, although it does get very crowded on the weekends. read more

Super friendly staff however at closing they were slow and not paying attention to us..... would NOT recommend for a margarita.

Food is great but service was so bad that I'm not sure if I'll return. Party of 8 which isn't that large, took 2 hours to get seated, ordered right away and it's now hour 3 and we still haven't received appetizers. It's a Thursday at 830, no real excuse. read more

On a busy weekend, I tried this on Sunday afternoon. It was a special treat. I was impressed with the food quality. It was jammed busy, so we ordered drinks, apps, entrees all at once. Good thing as we didn't see the server again. We did get all of our food from 2 other staff members. We loved the hummus and pizza strips appetizer. Very large portion and it went fast. The Caesar salad was large and fresh. It split 4 ways easily which was shocking. The turkey wrap was hot and fresh. Would order again. The Napolitano pizza is my favorite. It comes with a lot of toppings that match together. The prize for 4 with drinks, apps, entrees was $87.00 + tax. read more

As good as a pub can get. Really good food, really good beer, really good vibe, really far from the turisticos. I will be back!

Old Juneau institution, Mike's, remodeled and revamped into a comfortably uptown bistro kind of pizza place. Has live music on occasion. Great bar, good wine selection, and really good crispy crust type of pizza and some salads and appetizers, swell view of the Channel. Right next door to Perseverance Theatre, and usually pretty busy if not packed. Has a neighborhood sort of feel, partly because the owner and family are usually working right along side the rest of the staff. Great place to wind down at the end of the week or after a stressful day. read more

Had a horrible experience here. When we sat down to eat it was 9pm. We finally left at 11:30 pm. After an hour of waiting for our food we asked our waitress (who's name I will not repeat) to check on our order. Still no sign of our food what-so-ever. We continued to ask where our food was and was told "It is a busy night everything is slow." Which I completely understand until two parties, who walked in at least 30 minutes after us, were served first. We finally asked another waiter and he said the same thing "It's slow and because you have pizza it takes longer." None of us ordered pizza and all we had were sandwiches and salads. Not hard to make folks. To make matters worse, when we asked the waitress AGAIN to find our food she said that "one of the parties served before you is the owner so...." That is no excuse. If I were the owner and I saw customers were being put aside I would not be happy. When the food finally arrived it was cold and not good at all. Now is when it gets really good. My grandma who was the one continuing to ask after we had waited for our food for OVER AN HOUR, got up to use the restroom. As she walked by the two people she asked, my family saw the waiter say to the waitress, "she's mean" and rolled his eyes. The entire night we were being watched. We are not stupid. When your waitress is going around to ALL of her co-workers and pointing at us with her thumbs, we can catch the hint we were being talked about. It was horrible service, gross food, and all around just a bad experience!!! read more

This place is nice. I have been a few times and was pleased with the food each time. Considering how hot pizza is right now this place is on par with the current trends. Their pizza is out of a brick oven (wood fired or gas?) and is rockin. The designer pizzas are a bit overwheming and I have just gone for a build yer own pepperoni. The crust is great. The cheese sauce topping ratio is right. It is served on a tray the prevents soggy crust... Not bad. And, they have a full bar with plenty of Alaskan on tap. RIP extra Tuf. read more

Wonderful fresh salads....great view....family friendly. Really enjoyed our lunch here!

Went for Dinner on a Sat night and it was initially crowded... found a table in the bar overlooking the water front. The Pizza was fantastic... which one to choose... we chose an afredo winner of a past contest and subsituted roasted garlic for the sharved fresh garlic. It was great!! has a great dinner... well worth the drive to Douglas... read more

My wife, grandson and I had dinner here. We ordered two pizzas, a salad, Sprite, margarita, and dark beer. There was nothing left to take home. It was all delicious. The meaty pizza was especially admired. The pizza with pineapple was also a treat. The service was friendly and responsive. The view over Gastineau Channel was beautiful with bald eagles and golden eagles playing and fighting. This is definitely a winner in Juneau and we will return often. read more

PROS: +THE DON pizza is my favorite all-time pizza which is only made at the Island Pub. If you like a little bit of spicy heat, fresh mozzarella, and basil, you will not be disappointed. If you prefer white sauce on your pizza, the NEOPOLITAN ALFREDO is your ticket. +Best BLT sandwich in town if that is more your speed. It comes with an excellent side of orzo pasta. +The atmosphere and view of the channel is wonderful. +Island Pub lives up to its name by having a great variety of beer, wines, and spirits. CONS: -The noise level can get a bit loud, but hey, its a pub. -Friday nights and nights of a Perseverance Show are likely to be crowded and service can be very slow. Don't show up here an hour before a show thinking that you can get something quick. -Drink prices are above average. BOTTOM LINE: This is a favorite and my wife and I visit when we are in Douglas. Sometimes we make the extra trip just to eat there. If you are a visitor to town and have the means to get to Douglas, do so, eat here, and explore this little gem of a community. read more

I'm tempted not to write how great this place is as we don't want all the cruise shippers crossing the channel but then again, they don't have cars! Everything on the menu is superb. Their hummus appetizer is fantastic (along with a nice local beer or two). Then you can't go wrong with their pizzas, PROVIDED YOU LIKE GARLIC! Their salads are excellent as well but truly the pizza's are what makes this place a favorite of our family. Parking's right across the street and normally available. Wi-Fi, good place for families, nice view. read more

This place has some of the best pizza I have ever eaten! The little slice of heaven pizza is my fav! Great view and attentive staff. Sometimes can be a little loud from conversations at the bar, but that haven't happened too often. Would recommend! read more
