Fat Ptarmigan

My husband and I went with our daughter for the first time and it was a nice experience! Our server was super nice and welcoming especially with our toddler! The food and drinks were delicious I even saved half to eat at home :D We we’re expecting more options for the drinks though, but other than that it was great The environment was also very nice with the art they have of small paintings from artists along with the cool merch they have for sale. The food also came out fast so did drinks! We definitely had a great time!

I tried all of the ciders on tap, and although I typically lean to the sweeter side, every single one was tasty. I also didn't get that odd, hard to describe flavor that I often notice with ciders. I love the feel of the place. Open and airy. Beautiful tables and I love that they display the work of local artists. I didn't eat there but the pizza smelled divine. The lady working was very friendly and welcoming too. If you're in town I highly recommend stopping in.

Great pizza, great cider, with friendly and attentive staff! All their pizzas look good, including pizza chefs who still toss dough. Ordered the beer cheese pizza, which was very delicious, although not quite the unique experience I had envisioned basically, reindeer sausage, especially when in a larger dish, doesn't taste all that different from any other sausage...not bad at all, just worth keeping in mind. Ciders were also quite good with a diverse selection. Would be worth returning to explore the menu in the future.

BBQ wings. Beer cheese pizza on the left. Build your own pesto, blackened chicken, feta cheese, tomato, garlic and spinach on the right. If you like wood fired, you'll love this place. Probably shouldn't have paused to create the review. My only fixation at every pizza place like this, push the toppings closer to the edge. The crust here has excellent flavor, but I don't need that much of it without toppings. Probably is more difficult that it looks, considering I don't hand-make pizza. Next trip to Anchorage, this is on my destination to return.

The build your own pesto with blackened chicken, roasted garlic, tomato, spinach and feta pizza was a gourmet delight. Order the beer cheese pizza to taste the reindeer. The BBQ Wings are enough to make you fly. I'll never forget the forget me hopped cider and the grapefruit/lavender cider was a delicious blend. The service was friendly and very kind and on top of service even when it got busier. I highly recommend if you want delicious wood fired food, creative cider and friendly service.

Fat Ptarmigan has consistently been one of the best places in town to get pizza… Especially with their wood fired oven and crust recipe. Even though the founding chef has moved on, much of the appeal from his original recipes remains. And with the addition of the space-within-a-space Anchorage Cider House, there are more ways to enjoy this tasty spot downtown.

So not very busy but nice atmosphere. I wasn't sure if I was in Anchorage Cider House or Fat Ptarmigan. Is it two companies or one? Was there just a beer section then a dinning area? So I had a beer and pizza in the dining area. Took a minute to be seated so half a star. Only one restroom, the other half star. Pizza is stone fire and came out quick. Only issue was the center of the pizza wasn't cooked. The Spicy Raindeer had good flavor, just too wet to get the center crisp. You fold and lift a slice and half the length the pizza goes limp.

Loooved this place. I have been working in Anchorage for almost 2 months and this is probably my favorite place I've been too. The interior is cool, the service was great and the food I was gonna settle for a cider and spinach and artichoke dip, but the dip was SO GOOD I knew I had to try a pizza too. Did not disappoint with the half reindeer sausage half classic pepperoni. Definitely recommend this place for good vibes and good food in downton Anchorage

This is not a "Cider House", this is a pizzaria that sells beer. There is not a SINGLE cider on the printed menu, instead I had to ask an employee if they even carried ciders. They carry at least one cider but could not tell me if it was local or where it came from. They don't currently offer cider flights, but said they recently ordered the glassware to offer that in the future. The atmosphere feels like a Dominoes instead of a craft cider establishment. My server/owner? spent most of the time on his cellphone, but it was pretty dead inside which could have been because it was a Wednesday night. Overall not impressed and would not recommend. I didn't order the food so I can't comment on that.

This was my first visit to fat ptarmigan. I ordered the spicy reindeer pizza. I’m my opinion, the pizza would be better with more sauce and less cheese. Also, I’d prefer mozzarella only. Adding provolone cheese in order to be different…is too different. Portion size small for the price. 2/3 employees I met were positive energetic and engaging. The third was self absorbed. I’m not planning on a revisit.
