Northern Lights Pizzeria - Skagway, Alaska

😜Found this place by coincidence.

🍕🍻We were 3 people and we ordered: jalapeño poppers, mozzarella sticks, a big pizza with pepperoni and ham, and beer.

😋Everything was delicious. Portions were big. The menu has several options.

🤑The receipt was about $125 dollars, a little expensive but that is the price around the area.

👍🏼Service was very attentive and kind. Would recommend for families or groups.

♿️ This restaurant has enough space for people with restricted mobility and equipped WC

Recently visited Skagway for the first time on an Alaskan cruise. Stopped in at the Northern Lights Pizzeria for pizza and found that they didn't just serve pizza and pasta. Our server seated us and promptly took our order. She was very pleasant and explained menu items. They had Filipino food as their specials. I'm from Hawaii, and a good soup goes a long way. It was like being home, but not. I had the pork sinigang with steamed rice. They made the dish with pork ribs and veggies in a rich broth. It was very tasty. My friend had a plate of three tacos with rice and beans. She said it was good. We enjoyed our small tour of the town, historic cemetery, and the town and harbor scenic lookout.

Listen, don't just walk past the places on the main street. RUNNN until you get here! When I seen the sign said Italian and Mexican I just had to. Probably the best chicken Alfredo Ive ever had ANYWHERE. And the Gyro looked good as well. And lets not even talk about the mountain of food.

Amazing and unexpected menu items here, especially for a pizza place. Serving perhaps the best and most-authentic Filipino chicken adobo ever served. The same goes for the shrimp sinigang, salmon & chips, and more.

The food and service were really good but very very pricey. I guess it’s be expected in a town that relies on tourism four months out of the year. I didn’t have the pizza, but it looked pretty darn good. I have the chicken enchilada, the sauce was a little different, but it was good. It came with a side of rice and beans, and it was enough to fill me up.

My review is a bit late as I’m just catching up on all of our stops on our trip While the rest of the town was a mad house we stumbled into Northern Lights with no wait by some miracle. We ordered the house pizza with a salad as well as fish and chips. Pizza was full of flavor. Salad fresh and we left full and happy. Service was slow at first, but ended well. Just what we needed to get us through the rest of the night.

Had no wait suprisingly considering there were 3 ships in town. Definitely a nice place to eat. Service was good as well. The pizza was great and the 14" was perfect to share between two people. The menu is pretty wide giving options for everyone. Prices aren't great but I think that's something you need to expect in a place like this.

I was in Skagway Monday, September 18 2023 after doing the White Pass Scenic Railway thing. I was pretty hungry and ready to get out of the cold, though it was actually only in the 40's. As I was wandering through town with parents, I saw Northern Lights after passing so many people and full restaurants (two large cruise ships at the pier).

I immediately liked the name of the place because I have always wanted to see the Aurora Borealis other than from an airplane. Also the town brought back memories of the stupid television show Northern Exposure. As we entered, most tables and booths were full but there was some availability. We were seated pretty quickly and received menus. I was impressed with the extensiveness of the menu that included some of everything including burgers, Italian entrees, pizza and much more. I decided I wanted pizza and a Coke. My parents went along with that with the exception that they wanted a salad in addition. I ordered a large sausage, pepperoni and fresh mushroom pizza to share.

The food arrived quickly and my well-done pizza was there for the eating. The crust was crisp on the bottom but soft in the middle. There was a good amount of sauce and cheese. There was also a decent amount of sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms. The flavor was very good especially with a little added oregano.

The atmosphere was nice and this was definitely family-friendly. Food was tasty and the waitstaff was friendly, outgoing and helpful. It was a little pricy but I am sure that was secondary to being in Skagway, kind of the middle of nowhere, but I felt that it was worth it. I would eat there again, if I find myself in Skagway and I would recommend it.

As a side note, Skagway is a beautiful, isolated little town and reminds me of the television version of a 'wild west' town with paved streets and cars. There are similar type buildings as the 'wild west' and even elevated wooden boardwalk-type sidewalks. The town is at the base of mountains on a small harbor. Picturesque is the correct description of the town.

(By the way, I was one of at least a couple of thousand people from cruise ships, who had descended on the town of only 1200 people.)
