Magpye's Pizzeria

We stopped at Magpye's while enroute from Seward to Homer, AK. after Yelping the area. The single review was convincing and we were in the mood for good pizza, so we took a chance and were very pleased.

Magpye's is a funky little cabin-style building along the Sterling Highway with a tall sign on a bright red pole. The landscaping is decorated with colorful floral-shaped pinwheels and a beautiful pine tree.

Inside, there is a bar and a big, open, cafeteria-style dining room that lacks warmth and has terrible acoustics, but the pizza makes up for it.  

The dough is made from scratch and the ingredients are almost all fresh--except the mushrooms on our pizza appeared to be canned. However, they tasted good and did not at all detract from the fresh, balanced flavors of the pizza.

Excellent food!! Definitely worth the stop.

Who would have thought there was good pizza in the middle of Alaska?  The pies at Magpye's are better than most pizzarias in Hawaii...I'm hedging it's probably even better than that brick oven pizzeria on Kauai.

They use all fresh ingredients, not overly sauced, and cooked just right where the juices of the pepperoni, sausages, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and olives weren't dry and the dough wasn't thick or chewy.

GAHHHHHH too bad they don't deliver to HAWAII!!!!!
