We dined in before the COVID 19 related shut downs. I have been wanting to try the pizza here for quite some time, and finally the stars aligned and we were in the area in need of an early dinner spot. I like the ambiance here. It is very chill, and laid back. The interior is minimalist with industrial touches. It has the same vibes as a brewery. Loved the fresh floral arrangements on the tables--nice touch. The pizza oven is out in the open, and a great focal point. I also see that they have a patio for when the weather is warmer although it will overlook the parking lot. Gotta enjoy warm weather in AK when it is thrown your way!
Service was great. We were seated promptly, and our server was very attentive. The pizzas took about 20 minutes to cook, and the restaurant had a decent amount of patrons for an off time. We were there around 3:30pm. There is a great selection of craft beer on tap from breweries all across the USA. The selections seem very well thought out as there are a lot of beers that I don't normally see served in Anchorage. The food menu is not too extensive. We did not try any appetizers because nothing really stuck out, and decided to skip dessert.
We were pretty hungry so we each picked out a pizza. My husband ordered the classico and I got the spicy vito. Hearth makes what I would consider a more modern take Neapolitan style pizza. Everything is made fresh to order, and in house with most ingredients sourced in Alaska--I love seeing this on restaurant menus! I thought the crust was very good, and the sauce had decent flavor. The pizzas were cooked well with just the right amount of char, and the middle of the pizza was not overly soggy. My spicy vito pizza did not have too much spice to it, which was disappointing, and the flavor of the hot honey wasn't very apparent. The Alaskan soppresatta had good flavor. Overall the spicy vito was good, but I wish some of the ingredients stood out more. I did not taste the calssico, but my husband enjoyed it.
We were really satisfied with our meal, and I think that the pizza at Hearth are good! It's not my favorite pizza place, but it is definitely in one of the top spots. I will definitely be back to try more of their menu!
