Papa Bear's Pizza
Viking Pride Special - Order Any Size Pizza and Receive a Breadstick for $5 (1 per Order). At Papa Bear's Pizza, we take a step back in time to embrace the traditions of great pizza making. Our pizzeria in Petersburg, AK, only uses dough made daily from a recipe passed down from generation to generation.

In addition, we use the finest cheese from Wisconsin made specifically for the Italian food industry. Not only that, but all of our meats are of the highest quality, and our marinara sauce is freshly packed and offers the perfect base for your traditional pizza. We take all of these great ingredients and cook them to perfection, resulting in the best-tasting pizza around.

A bit spendy for a pizza.... but this is more than just a pizza; this is PAPA BEAR'S pizza. It's worth whatever they wanna charge. Its been years and yet i still occasionally dream about it. The heaviest [by weight] pie I've ever had.

Great calzones. The staff recommended the dish and I was very happy with it. The ingredients were fresh. The portion was big. They even text me when my order was ready. They have ice cream and milkshakes. The restaurant is clean. I definitely would return.

Hi,
How are you?
This is Md Washim Raja,a SEO Expert, from India. I am writing this mail to inform you that your business might be affected by decrease in orders from online flatform.! recently I was searching on Google map and I found your store name listed on Google maps which has no hours no website and no phone number and also unverified. I think you are now aware about this thing that Google is removing all those store listings to it's search results which are not verified.Another important thing in this regards is that Verified Google listing show first and at the top of searching results

I don't live here, but tried this place tonight. I had an amazing pepperoni pizza (got a 12", but it seemed bigger!) The pizza was classic and delicious! I loved the bready crust, the sauce (might order extra sauce next time), and the zesty pepperonis! It's simple inside, but seems like a great family spot! I would try this place again!

Family friendly and lots of choices for toppings. Pizza is yummy for a deep dish, reminds me of the Shakey's from my childhood. Closes at 7.

Had the Pena sandwich - "The Viking"; having spent many years in NYC, you grow to have expectations when it comes to pizzerias - I'm happy to say that this sandwich met & exceeded what I expected. Can't wait until my next trip to Petersburg to try a different menu item.

Papa Bear's is defenetly on my top 5 traditional pizzerias. The ingredients are always fresh, cheese tastes milky and most importantly the crust is softly crunchy I would say. They take there time to cook it till perfection, so do not expect it to be fast. Totally recommended for pizza lovers.

Papa Bear's pizza took over the mantle of gourmet pizza from Pellerito's Pizza, and has been a worthy successor. The handmade, hand tossed crust and top shelf ingredients make an excellent pizza.

Slices available for lunch. Whole pies, sandwiches, and breadsticks are available all day. Papa Bears is not fast or cheap, but I've never been unhappy with the food.

The pizza tasted OK but the crust was floppy and soft.

He sure to ask how long it's gonna take to get your pizza. They can be very very slow. We were the only two people in the restaurant and it took 40 minutes for us to get a 12 inch pizza. It turns out they had a lot of phone orders they didn't warn us about.

We had the best gluten-free pizza in 10 years at this place! It was so wonderful! The service was exceptional and the owner was so friendly. He has gone the extra mile to provide the best gluten-free pizza for his restaurant. He went to a Las Vegas at a pizza convention to try out gluten-free crust. He tried 45 varieties before he found one that he liked. He fly's his crust in from Everett, Washington. The fries were delicious as well! Don't miss out on this wonderful pizza place!

This place was said to be something special and while I will not give it a poor rating it was certainly nothing better than average tasting pizza that took forever for them to serve us (I guess the secret is to order an hour and a half in advance) and came with a price that would have bought a nice steak in the 48 lower States.
I agree with the guy that says this is geared for the locals and maybe in Petersburg that is how it has to be to stay in business but I was about to fall asleep before we finally got served
I will not eat here again because the quality of food was not worth the LONG wait

Very impressed, especially for small town Alaska. Pricing is reasonable for up here, food was awesome. High school kids, maybe recent grads running the counter/kitchen, but very polite. The Pane sandwich is a winner, I'll be ordering another one before I leave. Not a lot of choices in Petersburg, make this one you try.

Was visiting Petersburg for a wedding and stopped by for lunch. The dough was just perfect for my taste. Been to a lot of small towns and the mom and pop shops rarely ever disappoint! I can tell you they won't lack in toppings! Staff was so nice and courteous.

We got a huge bowl of salad to share and it was more than enough split between 3 grown men.

They have free Wi-Fi for those traveling from afar. Definitely allowed me to get some things done.

Would definitely recommend it for lunch stop or snack while in Petersburg and craving pizza.

Pizza was the best we have had... here in little Petersburg! What a pleasant surprise. Quality of the food definitely ranked number 1 in the little fishing town. What was lacking in sophistication was more than made up for with hospitality and taste. Great place to eat.

I've heard the pizza is really good but since I can't eat gluten I cannot review it. Service is incredibly slow even when you're the only people in there!! I ordered a salad and I was super disappointed. It was not worth what I paid. The lettuce was shredded ice berg that you would see on a taco. Horrible.

I was pleasantly surprised to find such an outstanding pizza restaurant in a small town! We had a build-your-own pizza with garlic, mushroom, black olive and jalapeƱos and it was delicious! I noticed a framed article on the wall indicating their pizza had won second place in some type of international pizza competition. That part was not surprising.

Great Pizza, excellent prices also! Not many places to go to in Petersburg but this place would hold it's own in a large "Pizza friendly" city anytime. Closes at 8PM for orders.
