American Eats: Alaska. The Moose's Tooth
Alaska is a surprisingly good place to find food.
I could have picked any number of places to include as my favorite here. There’s Silver Gulch Brewery in Fox and Shirley’s Burger Barn in Talkeetna. among others.
But the winner every time is The Moose’s Tooth.
The Moose’s Tooth is a pub and pizzeria that is known for their beer and their pizzeria. The craft beer list is fantastic, much of it brewed by their sister company Broken Tooth Brewing.
But the pizza is the main event here. The pizza list is so long that it’s almost unbelievable.
I invariably wind up ordering the same thing every time; The Carnivore. It’s Bacon, Canadian Bacon, Pepperoni, Ground Beef, Italian Sausage, Mozzarella, Provolone, and Marinara. I have no photographs of this pizza because I eat it before I can take a picture of it; it’s that good.
No pub should have pizza as good as the Moose’s Tooth does. All of that in a fun atmosphere that is lively. Pro tip: plan to sit at the bar or plan to wait a long time. The place is always hopping when I go there for dinner and there is usually a long wait until a table becomes available. But even if you have to wait, it is worth it. Because it is up there with the best pizzas in America.
If you make the trip to Alaska, make the trip here.
