Harborside Pizza

This place seemed pretty popular, it was busy every time I walked by. I finally popped in to see what they had, and found a surprisingly wide range of fresh toppings, given the location of the restaurant. Covid meant no indoor seating, carry-out was the only option. I decided to walk around town a bit, and they called me when my pizza was ready. Their outdoor seating was full, but the person who gave me my pizza told me that if I walked over to the tsunami siren, I'd find a picnic table by the water. Best advice ever! I enjoyed an amazing pizza and dessert with a beautiful view. I highly recommend the turtle cheesecake!

Pizza is great. Wood fired and crispy. Unfortunately there is more downside to the restaurant than upside. Pizza is way overpriced. Even for a small secluded town like Cordova. When comparing to other pizzerias in Alaska, their largest pizza price is about the size of a pizza you would not be able to fit in your vehicle, but not even half as big. There is also always an excuse to be closed. And don’t count on hot wings, I’ve never seen any come out of this pizzeria.

I was in Cordova a couple weeks ago and got a calzone from this place. I work in a city of 250,000 people, live 1.5 hours from Atlanta and if there's a better pizza joint in either of those cities I don't know about it. This place was legit, as were all the restaurants I visited in town. Your small town is blessed with some real passion for food. The calzone was too big for one person to eat but I'd been off the grid for a few days and was down several pounds so I ate the whole thing. Wish we could have dined in and had a beer but I understand things are weird right now. To the folks complaining about the price, I actually thought it was more than fair for a small town where all supplies come in by plane or boat.

I've eaten a lot of pizza in a lot of places but nothing touches Harborside. The crust has perfect texture, the large selection of toppings are of high quality, and the homemade sauce is simply a work of art. The wood-burning oven gives a great flavor to the selection of subs and the garlic knots are chewy and drowned in delicious garlic butter sauce. The owner and chef, Brian, has put his whole heart into his one-man production. While you're waiting for food he loves to chat about recent fishing and surfing adventures all the while cranking out beautiful pies. He truly strives to bring great food to his customers.
